About Wie is de Mol?

Ten contestants cooperate on a series of tasks that add money to a shared prize pot, but one player is secretly working against the group. That hidden saboteur, the Mole, deliberately undermines challenges to reduce the total winnings while the others try to spot inconsistencies and motive. After each episode everyone answers a multiple-choice quiz about the Mole's identity, and the person with the fewest correct answers is eliminated. The loop of tasks, observation and testing repeats until only two contestants and the Mole remain, and the last surviving non-Mole with the best final score wins the accumulated prize.

Created by Michiel Devlieger, Tom Lenaerts and Michel Vanhove, Wie is de Mol? debuted in 1999. The original Dutch-language program blended reality competition mechanics with scripted deception, introducing a rules-driven premise that prioritizes psychological play over physical endurance.

The show lodged itself in popular conversation, encouraging viewers to form theories and debate small behavioral clues episode to episode. It made guessing and analysis part of the viewing ritual, with audiences treating each broadcast like a collective puzzle and often forming fan communities around sleuthing and strategy.

Critical and viewer responses emphasize the format's focus on social dynamics and strategic thinking. On this source the series holds an 8.1/10 average from audience votes, and reviews often note how observation, misdirection and alliance-forming drive tension more than spectacle. Recurring themes include trust, suspicion, and the ethics of deception in competition, which keep discussions lively even after individual seasons end.

There are no widely documented major international awards tied specifically to the inaugural 1999 series. Still, the program has been cited often in discussions of reality formats for its inventive premise and for highlighting how simple rules can produce intense interpersonal drama and sustained viewer engagement.

Wie is de Mol? is a Mystery and Reality series.

The Mole is one of the contestants whose job is to secretly sabotage assignments and keep the prize pot as low as possible. They try to cause failures while blending in so other contestants won't suspect them.

Each season begins with ten candidates who work together on assignments to earn money for the collective pot. One of those ten is the Mole.

At the end of every episode, contestants take a multiple-choice test about the Mole's identity. The person with the fewest correct answers is executed and must leave the game.

When only two contestants and the Mole remain, a final test determines the winner, the contestant with the most correct answers. The winner receives all the money earned in previous stages of the game.
