The Mole Who is the traitor?
The Mole has had five seasons of its Australian version, with the latter two taking place overseas in New Caledonia and New Zealand respectively. It is a reality television program with a twist. Not only does it not contain a public vote, but one of the 'contestents' on the show is trying to do everything in his or her power to prevent the others from winning the money on offer. It is up to the real contestents to work out who this person is, and the one who knows the least about their identity, as calculated through a computer quiz, is eliminated from the show. But who is this traitor? Who is the saboteur? Who is the mole?

In one of the most memorable challenges ever on the series, three contestants go into a maze, given directions by a contestant via walkie-talkie and have to try not to get caught. Beverly directs Alan straight into the attackers and Abby goes well but Ben still manages to get caught. Rocky claims his machine wasn't working and he couldn't hear Jan's instructions, yet he somehow managed to make it to the end in a long time. Everyone suspects someone different. In one of the most controversial eliminations ever, Rocky goes. But later he claims Jan told him she was the Mole and told him that as long as he gave her a percentage of the winnings, he could vote for her etc. But it seems he was wrong. Jan of course denies to this day that she did that thing.

With only two men and five women left, the challenges get harder. Linda and Jan build a raft that the other five have to travel on without it going faulty but it doesn't work. And the boat the other five are on mysteriously runs out of fuel. Challenges are failing everywhere, but whose work is it? Beverly and Josephine have done well by not wasting money on a challenge where they could have gained an exemption but unfortunately Josephine leaves. She told Alan she was voting for him but he changed her mind and promised he wasn't the Mole.
Episode 5Episode 5 min
The halfway point has arrived and the series has sorely tested the contestants. Each of them has to try and get to the red flag without being shot by snipers or their teammates. If only one person makes it, they get an exemption. Alan almost shoots Abby for it but he gets the exemption. As the group tries to solve riddles, Abby, Ben & Linda don't do too well. While photographing native species, several problems arise such as Abby taking a picture with the lens cap on.
