Summary: A must have for kathy fans...but uh not for anyone else
Comment: The basic idea of "The Mole" is that it's an espionage-themed mishmash of "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race".....yah kinda boring i know..but this celebrity edition in my opinion completely resurrected this terribly boring series..but lets be honest with this whole "celebrity" edition..the most famous contestant (and only one with an actual personality) was probably Kathy Griffin (whose whole career is built on the fact that she's not famous)...so it kinda removes the inferred thrill of seeing someone super famous like Angelina Jolie make a complete fool of themselves (she's so famous my spell check corrected her name for me!!!). Not to mention the mole doesn't really have many of the staples of the first 2 seasons which I'm sure at least the 10 people who watched it must have enjoyed...the suspense...or any form of drama....what makes this series worth the money..and the 5 stars.. is the fact that Kathy griffin will have you laughing non stop through the entire season. The entire show pans out like her stand up..from the obvious hate/jealousy of the super model to her complete and utter acceptance of how D-list all the ridiculous situations she's been put in for like 100 dollars a pop...If you want a preview of this series i suggest you youtube Kathy griffin, lots of her celebrity skewing stand-up there..and if you find her stand up funny trust me you'll love this series. Help her get off the d-list :(

Summary: Celebrity Mole
Comment: This show was found by accident and it was great. A show that was never shown in Australia as the other TV series of The Mole have just been US based. I suppose it true that the Australian version has not been shown in the states either. Great to see everyone having a go, doing and fully participating in ALL activities and really trying to work out who is the mole same as any other contestant would. Kept me well and truly occupied trying to work out who I thought it was and I throughly enjoyed it.

Summary: FUNNY and DELIGHTFUL!
Comment: I have only seen the first series on TV (our country did not broadcast any other seasons), but being an ardent fan of good reality TV games and/or shows, I took a chance and bought this edition of THE MOLE on DVD! While not as intense as shows like AMAZING RACE or SURVIVOR, it was entertaining and also really funny with a lot of LOL moments. I was completely wrong about who the MOLE was as well. Some great and hilarious extras (thanks to people like Kathy Griffin). One can really sense that the celebs had a fun time, and that rubs off on the viewer.
I most certainly recommend this!

Summary: The Mole . . . Lite
Comment: The Mole was one of ABC's early forays into "reality" TV. The concept involved ten individuals taking part in various group tasks, that added money to a community pot. At the end of each episode, one player was eliminated, with the eventual winner getting the entire amount in the pot. The twist in the game which is known to everyone, is that one of the players is actually The Mole, a player who is not out to win the cash, but instead is acting to gum up the works, and try and keep money from being contributed to the pot. The object of the game is to avoid becoming a victim of The Mole.

Celebrity Mole Hawaii takes the original concept, and puts `celebrities' into the game. Participants include actors Corbin Bernsen, Michael Boatman, Erik von Detten, Kim Coles, Steven Baldwin, model Frederique, and comic Kathy Griffin. Altogether, not the most physically fit group.

The Big Island of Hawaii, provides the setting for tasks that include walking on hot lava rack, cliff diving, surfing, dancing the hula and hanging over a waterfall. For this event, a serious host like Anderson Cooper probably isn't appropriate. So while a little dull, Ahmad Rashad does an adequate job.

If you enjoyed the original, CMH might be worth checking out. With `celebrities' are involved, there's more of a focus on the players and their interaction with each other, with less excitement and suspense generated by the actual playing of the game. The group is diverse mix of personality types, which leads to some spirited and entertaining exchanges between the players.

Summary: First time Mole watcher?
Comment: Don't get this. Why? First, it's not the best season to show you and get you hooked. Second, it's $10 more than the best season so far on DVD, The Mole Complete First Season. Get that first, then if you like, buy this DVD to feed youself until the second season comes out on DVD.
