Netflix’s gripping game of deceit, “The Mole,” has us all questioning every move and motive. With only six players left—Deana, Hannah, Michael, Muna, Ryan, and Sean—the tension is palpable. But who is the saboteur among them? Let’s delve into the suspects, starting from the least likely to the most cunning.
6. Sean: The Misleading Officer
Sean, a cop by profession, stands as the least suspect for me. His overt sabotage during the charity event was too conspicuous to be true. By drawing attention to himself, he’s either playing a very risky game or cleverly diverting suspicion.
5. Muna: The Risk-Taker Turned Team Player
Muna exuded mole-like qualities early on, taking risks and opting for immunity over group success. However, her recent shift to a more cooperative approach raises questions. Her forgetfulness in the last challenge—picking only one key—could be a genuine mistake or a subtle act of sabotage.
4. Hannah: The Master of Deception?
Hannah is enveloped in mystery. Her initial alliance with Tony and subsequent romantic entanglement seemed strategic. Despite gaining the first exemption with Mike’s help, she remained secretive, withholding crucial information. Her leadership in the latest episode and her hasty decision during the $200,000 challenge suggest she’s a mole playing the long game.
3. Ryan: The Unmotivated Suspect
Ryan’s behavior has been erratic. Accused by her peers and especially by Hannah after Tony’s elimination, her lack of enthusiasm during the bomb challenge was telling. Yet, her misleading description during her own kidnapping incident—mentioning a statue instead of Big Ben—was a move that bewildered everyone, including Deana.
2. Michael: The Under-the-Radar Operator
Michael has been a quiet force, initially suspecting Sean but also recognizing Sean’s tactic of self-sabotage. His suspicious action of throwing a case further underwater went unnoticed due to the team’s victory. However, his miscommunication with Ryan during the bomb challenge, leading to the wrong wire being cut, puts him firmly on the suspect list.
1. Deana: The Loyal Gameplayer or The Mole?
Deana’s consistent loyalty and low-profile gameplay have kept her out of the spotlight. Yet, it’s precisely this safe play and her tendency to shift accusations that make her my top suspect. If I were the mole, I’d play it just like Deana—carefully and inconspicuously.
Tomorrow, the 11th of July. Netflix will reveal the mole in the final two episodes. It’s a revelation that promises to be shocking. While I’m clueless about the mole’s identity, the upcoming double elimination in episode 9 should shed some light on this enigmatic figure.
Stay tuned, and remember, trust no one—it’s what the mole would want.
