Season chronology

Format

Followed the same format as its Belgian predecessor, this was the first season which had ten Dutch celebrities travel to Australia and Bali, Indonesia to complete Assignments to earn money for the group pot. However, one of the ten is the titular Mole (de Mol), the one designated to sabotage the assignments and cause the group to earn the least amount of money for the winner's pot as possible. Every few days, players would take a 20-question multiple choice test about the identity of the Mole. Once the test is complete, the candidates await their results in an Execution ceremony. The candidate with the worst score is executed from the game, while in the event of the tie the candidate who completed their test the slowest is executed. The season plays out until there are three remaining candidates, where they must complete a final test (consisting of 40 questions). The candidate with the highest score, or had completed their test the fastest in a tie, is declared the winner and receives the group's pot.[1]

Two twists were implemented throughout the season, where at every Execution Ceremony, Angela would reveal the percent of questions that candidates got correct about the Mole. After from the second test onwards, if the candidates had a smaller percentage of correct answers than the previous test, two candidates would be executed from the game instead of one. The Double Execution would only happen once throughout the season, if the candidates had failed to keep their percent up.

Secondly, Candidates were approached over the phone via a messager [sic?] from the Mole throughout the season. At every opportunity, if the Candidates accepted the Mole's offer to sabotage assignments, they would automatically earn 5 correct answers on their next test, regardless of how they performed in the tests.

Notes
  1. Instead of executing one of the candidates, after showing everyone's green screen, a Percentage popped up instead of Yvon's results. Angela then explained that the Percentage represented how many questions the entire group got correct about the Mole in their tests. Over the rest of the season, if the group's percentage dropped below their previous test's score, two candidates would be executed instead of one.
  2. Roeland had been sick throughout the game, and after a consultation with a doctor, it was advised that he withdraw and return home to recover.
  3. As the group earned a lower percentage of correct answers than the previous test, two candidates were executed after this test. Gijs and Jim were executed together.
  4. In Episode 3, the Candidates successfully guessed that Gijs was behind the Mystery Box, as a result they earned money for the pot and Gijs re-entered the game.
  5. Due to an assignment, Victoria's test would be deducted of one answer in this episode.
  6. Out of curiosity, Angela revealed the group's percentage for the test despite the twist finishing at the previous Execution. The final 5 candidates scored 50% on this test.
