Listen, it's not that I don't like trash. I got a huge kick out of survivor, boot camp, temptation island. I even became a huge O-Town fan after watching making the band. Sure they're not the most intelligent shows on TV, sure they're even slimy in a way, but they're entertaining and that's what TV is all about. But why watch entertaining trash when you can watch entertaining class? The Mole has got all the suspense and drama of any of these shows with its elimination style of play. It has all the same people politics(backstabbing, alliances, etc) that made those other shows fun. But the Mole is actually intelligent, sophisticated, and interactive, all things that the other shows lacked.
The viewer, through the show, is taken on a beautiful tour of quaint Italian towns and villages. We watch the contestants drinking fine wine,(with the exception of Al and Heather's creation)and having thoughtful conversation with each other at the dinner table. We have the host Anderson Cooper, former ABC newsman, hitting us with witty humor and charm all the way through. The contestants are all smart and well spoken. Not to mention that we as the audience have a chance to analyze the show to pieces. The show is multilayered so you can still enjoy analyzing people relations like in Survivor, but you can also analyze mysterious or suspicious characters and actions.
All entertainment is good, but when you get a chance to see entertainment with a brain, why pass up on it?
