In a world where distractions are everywhere, it can be easy to miss the little things — whether it’s your boss’ subtle eye twitch when they’re angry or a date’s ears turning red whenever you bring up an ex. But in The Mole, noticing everything could be the difference between going home empty-handed, or winning it all.
Season 2 will see 12 strangers working together to complete a series of challenges with the hopes of adding money to a prize pot. However, among them is a player meant to secretly sabotage the group — the Mole, whose job is to prevent the group from adding any money to the fund. Throughout the season, all players must keep tabs on the people around them and test their intuition in periodic quizzes about the Mole’s identity: Whoever scores the lowest is eliminated.
This season, there are more competitors whose entire day-to-day jobs are about sussing out the truth — from a bona fide web sleuth to a forensic accountant — and others who are used to reading a motley crew of personalities. But while they monitor each other throughout the competition, we also get the chance to do the same. Below, study up on the 12 people tasked with identifying the Mole — and see if you can deduce the one liar among them.

I’m not the Mole because… “The most fun part of this game is the missions — I want the missions to be as successful as possible to add money to the pot.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I am an absolutely terrible liar. This isn’t a low-key brag … I wish I was better. I don’t know if it has something to do with being autistic, but always assumed that I lacked the nuance to do it well.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I’m team $$$ and here to WIN the whole pot.”

I am not the Mole because… “I am too competitive and wouldn’t be able to throw challenges.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I usually wear my heart on my sleeve, and this game is a marathon — not a sprint — so I’m much more interested in unearthing the truth than in hiding it.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I talk way too much to be the Mole.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I am a detective at heart.”

I’m not the Mole because… “Lying isn’t in my genes. I’m the great-great-great-great-grand-nephew of Abraham ‘Honest Abe’ Lincoln.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I am a team player, and I want the biggest prize at the end to take home!”

I’m not the Mole because… “I’m here to compete for my family and win cash. I don’t have what it takes to sabotage or ruin people’s chances of winning money.”

I’m not the Mole because… “Hiding my true intentions for that long sounds exhausting, and I don’t have the mental stamina to keep that act up.”

I’m not the Mole because… “I am too honest and I play around too much.”
