Great video..tnx again...🙏👍😚
Thanks as always for the fun times Julie! I've got my final prediction as Michaël mole, Bernard winner, and Senne runner-up, and I'm pretty deep into the Michaël tunnel. I'm planning on a season rewatch today and will add replies based on if anything stands out as I rewatch each episode!
I'd say the absolute strongest hint of the season for me was in that puppet task last week though. Michaël played the mole, the only task he got right was slashing the pot, and the puppets themselves seemed to match with the contestants (the mole puppet had a beard, the other non-mole puppets were a girl, a mustachioed guy, and a clean-shaven guy). This hint just reminds me of the Germany season with the image of the jester the week before the finale.
I really hope Senne can pull off a win. If he's not the mole he's had the WORST luck. Stuck as the prisoner with everyone ignoring him, had his laps miscounted at Mario Kart, stuck with Stephanie in the coffin who did nothing really helpful, mole book burned, and had to take a bath with Kathy while the other two contestants mountain biked on Mount Etna and played football with Lukaku. If he is the mole, kudos! Cause I've just felt bad for him the last few episodes.
(If they wanted to bring the 4 stories/truths and lies assignment from this last episode into every future season and make it a yearly tradition I wouldn't be upset. It was absolutely brilliant.)
I had a dream last night it was Bernard! Made me panic (had flashbacks to last year XD). I'm 3 episodes into a rewatch and only thing I caught was that Bernard's left eye is dilated A LOT. On the boat in the first task/first episode, in the Ape, after the Hercules task. I won't finish my rewatch before the episode airs, but still sticking to Michaël (the man saw no real screen at eliminations!!!) and will be avoiding CZcams until after I watch it tomorrow. Merry Mol-mas to all!
Great video Julie! Thank you!!
I love how the majority of suspicious actions mentioned in this video point to Bernard, but I am still 100% convinced that Bernard is the winner, lol. Especially in the more recent episodes, I have been getting the “winner’s edit” vibes for him.
That last assignment was SO funny. Here I was thinking that having the moms answer questions about what type of items their children have stolen would be the most delightfully awkward task of the season. And then the producers were like “Let’s send someone to Bernard’s house to take a bath with his mom”. Genius. This is the third time that I have seen a Mol series do the “separate the candidates for a period of time and then have them describe what they did” thing, and it was by far the best. I am so glad Bernard didn’t get in the gray car. I assume the producers were as well 😂
As far as suspicions go, I am still not 100% sure. Certain things make me lean more towards Michaël, and some more towards Senne.
One thing that I paid particular attention to in episode 7 was how the candidates divided themselves up for the first assignment. It’s the final 4, and they need to work in duos. So, obviously everyone should want to be in a duo with their top suspect. Charlotte volunteered for the “drama” duo right away, seemingly not caring who she got paired with (not the best strategy, and I was not surprised to see her go home after that). All 3 men then expressed interest in the “walking” task. So clearly no one suspected Charlotte. The way that Michaël tried to get Bernard to change his mind and join the “drama” duo made me think that Senne is the mole and Bernard and Michaël are each other’s competition. BUT mole Michaël could have done that to try to confuse the others, I guess.
As far as the AI voices are concerned, the only 2 voices that sounded “real” to me were Charlotte and Senne. (Seriously though-AI Charlotte sounded more like Charlotte than real Charlotte). I heard the “Bernard” voice, but it sounded fake. And I honestly had trouble picking out anything that sounded like Stephanie or Michaël. So, again, that would seem to point to Senne. And Senne choosing the dinner in Amsterdam instead of the pasvraag is still really hard to explain as anything other than a mole action.
But…I keep coming back to the racetrack assignment. Michaël’s actions during both parts of that assignment were textbook “how to sabotage.” Bernard was textbook “super enthusiastic candidate who completes the assignment successfully despite sabotage attempt.” And then…there was Senne. Senne was SO far in the lead for the entire race. It just doesn’t make sense for a mole to do the assignment perfectly and then hope that the other group will mess up at the last second and give him an excuse to lose. So…it has to be Michaël? But then how to explain Senne putting himself in the perfect position for the prison assignment? And how to explain Michaël calling out Stephanie for lying in episode 1?
It also doesn’t help that Senne and Michaël did some suspicious things together. Pandora’s box? Michaël and Senne. Hercules task? Michaël and Senne. Drank their wine the slowest and put themselves in the perfect position to sabotage the spaghetti assignment if necessary? Michaël and Senne.
Michaël was one of my initial 3 suspects after the first 4 episodes (Senne wasn’t, notably). One of the things that I said about him in the comment section of the last video is that I’m not really sure how good of an actor he is. And I still can’t really tell. For example, when he accidentally spoke during the assignment with Lynn: genuine mistake? Or really well acted? He was also acting SO strange during the elimination vote before Coco went home. But I couldn’t tell if it was on purpose. And the fact that Michaël and his mother couldn’t get matching answers during the tower-building was weird to me. Especially when he made a point of teasing her (“Mom, you’re not the one who is supposed to sabotage!”). It made me wonder if she was actually giving correct answers, but he was picking the wrong answer on purpose.
I am so confused. Last year, I had a really strong gut feeling, went against it, and ended up being wrong. This year, I don’t even know if I have a gut feeling. I will be watching the first assignment of episode 8 very closely, particularly how the tasks get divided. If I had done that last year, I probably would have guessed the mole correctly. Until then, I don’t know if I can make a guess!
I feel you so much here. I have a gut feeling that the edit favours Michael as the Mole, but that's about as far as I can go.
Thanks, Julie! Tonight's the big night... I'm going with Michaël as the mole, but I would not be surprised if it is Senne.
EDIT: I'm so impolite. Can't wait to get my own thoughts down so I don't acknowledge yours. Very thorough video Jules! Do you have a pick of your own?
As for my own, I'm actually tempted to switch here.
My suspect all along, since episode 2, has been Senne. But Michael has been a close second. The thing is, there are things early on that point absolutely to Senne rather than Michael. For example: it was obvious that Bernard would use a doubler in that second assignment in episode 2. The Mole could only be in one place to guarantee that E10,000 wouldn't be earned, and that was exactly where Senne was. All he then had to do was delay long enough in opening his cell to make sure that time had run out. I think that Michael has a strong anti-Mole action here. Yes, he initially dismisses Senne, but when he goes back downstairs, he urges the others to listen to Senne - and Karolien stops him!
I'm also really worried about the pizza and earthquake assignments. Michael earned money in pizza, and would have earned money in earthquake if Senne hadn't messed up. (Did he know that Senne would do that? Was he briefed that he didn't need to sabotage?)
Another thing pointing to Senne - in basically every group decision he's called for the wrong choice. It's noticeable, though, that when everyone votes for Coco as the eliminee in episode 4, Michael is the only one not to raise his hand. Another possible clue pointing at him.
One thing I'm backtracking on is that olive task. Yes, it makes sense that the Mole would be in the olive garden; but Michael, who'd delayed things a lot on the boat in the previous assignment (another mark against him) could've wanted to stay under the radar. He absolutely could've encouraged Coco to slam down the wrong coloured bin; except that Coco did this anyway, by accident, making his sabotage unnecessary. The Mole would "take a freebie" there.
The thing is, in the last two episodes, Michael has looked the most suspicious. What's really making me worried is his grilling of Bernard to make him look like a liar (when in fact Bernard was telling the truth). Even if you assume he's trying to convince people he's the Mole - which could explain his puppet actions - he'd have no way to know for certain that bernard wasn't lying unless he'd been briefed. So as a way to create an atmosphere of suspicion, it doesn't make sense. This seems to point specifically to Michael, and only Michael, as the Mole.
And then he's the only liar in the final four task (too obvious?) Senne calls him out, but Bernard and Charlotte immediately disagree. Assuming Bernard is not the Mole, if that means anything it means that he and Charlotte suspect Senne, and Senne is trying to throw them off, the same way that Marc from Season 3 and Commy from Season 11 did in similar situations. But that might be completely wrong.
The long and short of it is: I don't have a guess! Based on the last two episodes - which is where you'd expect the Mole to kick things into high gear after all - I gotta say that Michael looks the more suspect. I think the clues have pointed to Michael, who was also my pre-season pick as the Mole (I switched from my pre-season pick in Season 6 and ended up regretting it.) And in terms of his character edit, I think he's got more of the "Mole Edit", whereas Senne seems more like the Sven or Axel of the group. All seeming to point towards Michael.
Yeah. Whether it's Senne, Michael (as I'm now thinking it probably is) or Bernard, I will consider this season a failure for my Mole-hunting. One thing I am certain of though: the three finalists, including Charlotte, all knew who the Mole was.They're obviously seeing more than I have! If it does turn out to be Senne, it'll be strange to say I "failed" when I had him pegged from episode two; but honestly, I have had so little certainty in the second half of the game (the same problem I had last year) that I can't call it a victory.
Well... my spoiler-free reaction to the reveal:
GODVERDOMME!!!
If you've seen it y'all know why.
EDIT: can't wait to see Fuzzy's reaction to this one. It's definitely going to one of two extremes, let's put it that way.
@@H0lyMoley I was sooo wrong too 😂
@@H0lyMoley Welp, my final guess was wrong, of course. I’m telling you, I can only guess the mole correctly when they film in South Africa. Anywhere else, and I’m doomed. I can’t wait until WIDM 2033 so I can feel smart again, lol.
@@H0lyMoley Right before the mole walked around the corner, I saw the silhouette on the wall and I was like WAIT WHAT 😂
@@windfallsofdreams I will post more if Jules does an after-series analysis (or post-mortem for most of us it seems!) but I am SO annoyed at myself. This one has me questioning where I went wrong.
I still don't know how to watch this show! 😭
Oh no! 😟 I watch the Dutch version but maybe somebody else here in the comment section can help you? 🤞
I think that loads of people would want to help. With CZcams, the downside is that you can't just post videos of copyrighted TV programs or links to them (especially in Jules' channel, as it could cause issues for her.) Also causing the "De Mol" producers problems that I would never want to cause them. Our little fan group shouldn't force them to have to shut down that kind of thing just to keep their licence to broadcast. (I've butchered my grammar there, but I think I've made my point.) I watch this television show thanks to being friends with Belgian fans, which causes no problems whatsoever; I can't suggest anything other than that, sorry.
I watch the Dutch version as well, I’m sorry!
