"The Mole" is an original concept that came from the Dutch speaking side of Belgium! Premiered in 1999, the Belgian show called "De Mol" was an instant hit, won a prestige "Golden Rose" in Montreaux and was sold to a lot of countries including the Netherlands, Germany, Australia and of course the US.
Some guy mentioned that this was a total ripoff of "Survivor". But perhaps this guy should get his facts straight. Survivor premiered in 2000, the Belgian "De Mol" premiered in 1999! Almost every reallife show is not originally from the States! Like Big Brother and the new show The Phone are originally Dutch TV-shows.
Anyway, "The Mole" is a terrific show, where audiences and viewers worldwide are challenged to think along with the show, to anticipate with what is coming next and therefore The Mole is a fantastic TV-show. In The Netherlands we've had 4 seasons with unknown competitors and 4 seasons with famous Dutch people. It is my opinion that the best "The Mole" seasons are always with famous persons.
