Celebrity Mole 1-8-03
 

Just watched the ep. I think they need better celebrities. Also Bring back Anderson.

This cannot be stated enough. He is the best reality TV host that I ever watched. Unfortunately, I just don't think it's going to happen.

-eek- What?! It premier today? Ahh damn it. I missed it.....

Was there anything important discussed? Share with spolier tag, please?

Anybody saw the "disclaimer" on Letterman show? It was halirious.

"Celebrity in this case is not celebrity celebrity. It's not to be taken literally."

rotfl rotfl

I watched about a minute...the celebrity angle sucks and sucks hard.

I want a real season with the real host.

*sigh* It isn't the same without Anderson. With Ahmad, I felt like it was some sports game. And the guy can't type. What's up with that? All anybody needs is a couple of hours with Mavis Beacon, but he looked like he was struggling. I want Anderson back!

The celebrities wern't so bad. It wasn't as fun with celebrities though - I connected more with "real" people. Did you notice they don't film in the hotel rooms anymore?

btw, for those who missed the execution:


I'm still gonna watch, although I don't get why "The Bachelorette" isn't on at 10 and "The Mole" at 9. (I need my sleep!) I can't wait to see Kathy Griffin explode and all that arguing between Corbin and Steven "forever-stoned" Baldwin. Yay!

I love the Mole and echo the above, but it's still better than a lot of crap on TV. :) I am hoping this is successful enough to continue the show, with regular people. The quasi-celebrity angle sucks.

Stephen Baldwin and Kathie are kinda interesting.

This kind of sucks, but it's better than camping on a mountain for 24 hours. It is the souless shell of the first two Mole seasons.

My prediction: Corbin is the Mole.

I propose they change the show's name to "Former Celebrity Mole" or "Fringe Celebrity Mole."

My God, this was boring. Call me when the real show returns.

das

No kidding. We can only hope that the constant promos for this "show" get it enough ratings to bring back the regular Mole for another season. If ABC hyped the Mole 2 like this crap, we'd have no reason to dig out a celebrity edition to get ratings.

Line of the night in our household? Upon looking at Corbin's "injury"? "Like everything else in this show, it appears to be shallow and superficial".

And did you see how Baldwin's eyes would light up everytime the word "pot" was mentioned? -smile-

The games looked like fun and I laughed a little during the Sheep Black Jack game. You have to admit it was kinda funny watching a person run around trying to catch a sheep with a Black Jack card tied to its back.

Corbin needs to chill. Maybe he and Baldwin will start hanging out a little more and share some *relaxation* secrets...

Baldwin needed to keep his shirt on

I felt like it was Baldwin and Frederique (sp?) as celebrities playing a game with regular folks. Meaning I had no clue who 3 of the other "celebrities" were. I like the idea of this show... wish I had seen the first two seasons.

My daughter said "that dude looks deformed. Why does he keep taking his shirt off?"

Groucho :)

Worst Mole ever.

The host SUCKS!

The celebrities SUCK.

I hate kathy griffin

The only reason I might watch next week is cause of Baldwin.

I liked it, not the best but still watchable.

Host is not that bad. He's passable for this edition.

Celebs are alright in my book: Corbin, Michael, Baldwin, and "Hanzel & Gretel". I think they have a good mix there

I like Kathy Griffin, thought she was funny when she was trying to herd the sheep and her comment about Baldwin thinking he was going to get some when she asked him to come to her room.

What's up with those crazy American sheep? I never saw the sheep on the Amazing Race challenges hopping like that.

It was good to hear the "Sad Farwell" music again. I just love that song. I don't think no other reality show can top the way the players leave as they do on the Mole. That music, along with the video clips and with Anderson taking their bags and walking them to the car, almost brought a tear to my eye sometimes.

I'm revoking the season pass on this puppy.
Thumbs down! Thumbs down! Thumbs down!

What happened to Anderson, hopefully he'll be back
when the real Mole comes back. Perhaps he realized
how lame this was going to be and didn't want part
of it.

I also think it's Corbin. He's constant jabs at the other players when they mess up ("Nice job, Mole!") is definitely overcompensation for his own Mole-ness

It was announced last year that Anderson will not be returning, simply because his bosses at his new job (I *think* he works on CNN's American Morning) won't let him leave. It's CNN's fault. :mad:

I still like the show, sort of. And Kathy Griffin, sort of. But that's just me.

To see how a celebrity-based "reality" show should work, check out "The Surreal Life" on WB. That sounded pretty stupid when I first heard about it, but it's certainly more entertaining than this.

while i enjoyed the show, i've never seen the originals and was kinda confused. what if the mole is executed?

i get very irritated with KG. she always tries sooo hard to be a "celebrity" but she just isnt IMO, always seems like one of those clingy celebrities who latch on and refuse to accept the truth!

BTW, is Baldwin going to be on every celebrity game show/reality series that comes up? he really thinks too highly of himself, put the shirt back on!!!

The Mole can't be executed. They take the quiz like everybody else, but they remain in the game regardless of their score. In theory, the Mole should always have the highest score on the quiz anyway.

OK, OK, OK

We've established that fringe-celebrity Mole isn't as good as the real Mole and we miss Anderson Cooper (CNN wouldn't let him out of his contract). If you want to see Anderson Cooper, watch CNN. He is just as funny there.

Now, let's get on with the business of identifying the Mole..

I say it's Corbin Bernsen because they didn't show him doing any deliberate sabotage. He did fall while herding sheep, but was it really an accident?

The best thing about celebrity Mole is that there were only 7 contestants which means this won't last very long.

I agree, it's not the same without Anderson, but some Mole is better than no-mole! I hope if they do a Mole 3, Anderson will come back.

It began kind of strange, but I like the game with the sheep. I think that comedian chick is the mole.. whats her name.

Speaking of the Mole... are there any plans to release the Mole 1 and/or 2 on DVD? and there was also 2 seasons of a British Mole show that ran over in europe, has anyone seen this?
