Trivia

Season 2 premiered on September 28th 2001 and was taken off the schedule after 3 episodes due to the mood of the country post 9-11 and poor ratings. It then returned in June 2002 with the first 4 episodes shown in 2 hour blocks on successive days to get the audience caught up. The reunion show at the end is held a year after the show finished filming.

User Reviews

Great Show. The first couple episodes were a bit bleak, but then it got going.

The Mole 2: The Next Betrayal is great. I personally was rooting for Al to win, but now he's gone. Watch the show to figure out how it works. I'm just here to tell you, WATCH IT. It may be too late now though. The last episode air tomorrow. I THINK DOROTHY IS THE MOLE!!!!
