The Mole

A recap of the first five episodes of season 5, plus never-before-seen footage will air as a one-hour special.

Twelve crafty competitors gather in Australia's ancient Daintree Rainforest to begin the game, with no idea which of them might be plotting sabotage.

A puzzling jailbreak challenge ends in a nail-biting finish. The next day, the players face a new mind game that pits them against each other.

The players have an opportunity to get to know each other better on a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, where they set out for a treasure hunt at sea.

For their first mission in Malaysia, players must keep intruders from taking their spot. Three people face a crucial choice before the elimination quiz.

The competition is on as the first elimination raises suspicions and the players embark on a treasure hunt. A tempting offer stirs up tension.

A romantic alliance puts the group on high alert. The game reaches new heights as two players rappel down a building to pull off a daring heist.

We meet the celebrities and watch as they learn right away that they won't be playing "fakey half-games." Right away, they're tossed into a game in which they had to fill buckets with water to raise bags of money. There's some money winning, but also some failures. The players also play a very special game of blackjack involving sheep.

The celebrities play a game in which they are assigned "occupations" and then are asked to perform crazy stunts based on those oocupations. Watch walking on hot coals, wild plane-riding and more. In another game, one set of celebrities searches tombs at a graveyard while another set gets clues underwater to figure out what tombs to look at it. The result is something a surprise, leading to questions about molish behavior.

While some of the celebrities participate in a raft-building game, another celebrity is put in a secret game in which they are tempted with an exemption. The celebrities also play a game called "Looky, Looky, Hot Pepper." In a little mousey business, the celebrities were chosen hot peppers to eat based on which directions mice ran. There were some standouts and some surprising and suspicious behavior.

A game called El Taxi Loco introduces the viewers to the celebrities competing in "Celebrity Mole: Yucatan." Other games include "Salespeople Game" and "Moon Over Yucatan." $31,000 is successfully added to the pot, however, the celebrities wonder if possible sabotage by the mole might have kept them from earning more. Two celebrities successfully earn exemptions.

A piñata game features the celebrities in a fierce battle for both money in the pot and a prized exemption. The classic game in which the celebrities must pick one of their own to receive an exemption or lose money from the pot is revived with the same result as the previous installment: money is lost from the pot. Tensions flare as players are accused of deliberate sabotage leading to loss of money for the pot. The second execution ceremony has a surprising result.

The celebrities play a game called "Clucks for Bucks'" in which they must catch chickens that match numbered hats. A maze game proves a challenging taks for most of the celebrities. One celebrity is given a rather fattening opportunity at an exemption. As suspicions continue to grow, a third celebrity is executed and sent home.

Jon Kelley hosts the return of The Mole, a reality-competition that follows twelve players on a worldwide adventure. One of them is the mole, a saboteur that could thwart their efforts at anytime. The games began immediately with a challenge that required each of the players to dive waterfall and grab for money -- with the exception of a single player who was left to determine which should jump for real money, and which for fake. When only a small portion of the available money is put in the pot, suspicions immediately flare as to who could be the mole. That evening, some contestants are less than satisfied with their sleeping arrangements when a set of players is told they must sleep outside. One player thwarts the rules by staying awake all night. Later, the teams are sent to a beach to participate in a scavenger-hunt style game. Though they fare somewhat better, winning a majority of the available money, evidence of possible sabotage leads some to wonder if the mole is already at work. The players nervously face the evening's first execution after airing a series of ten challenging questions regarding whom they believe to the be the mole. One player, who seemed to have been given an early advantage, is eliminated in a surprising execution.

The remaining contestants try their best to compete and gather information, but must remain ever-watchful for signs of possible sabotage from the one mole amongst them.

With tension growing amongst the remaining contestants, they are asked to put what little faith they have in each other to the test in a challenge that pairs them into "Can't Trust" and "Trust Blindly" groups. Members from both of the groups pair up for a harrowing luge ride that also serves as a test of memory. A rules violation on the part of several contestants leads to a major penalty. Later, Jon Kelley sends the contestants on a spy day complete with luxurious massages. Though pleased at the opportunity to relax, the contestants are weary of an upcoming catch, and rightly so. They find that their clothes have been sent off for dry cleaning and are challenged to find suitable clothes within a short time-frame in order to join host Jon Kelley in time for a fine-dining dinner. Two contestants make a suspicious move by choosing to simply opt out of the challenge. The contestants are presented with an intriguing offer at the evening's execution.
