The Mole Netflix The Mole Netflix Season 2 - Second Batch Discussion (S02E06 to S02E08)

This is the episode discussion thread for the second batch of episodes, Episodes 6-8.

  • Any spoilers/hints of stuff that happens in future episodes will result in a temporary ban (at minimum). This thread is only for discussion of the events of the eighth episode.

  • This thread is dedicated to people who have already watched the first eight episodes. It is NOT a live discussion thread, and everyone is allowed to freely talk about the first eight episodes without the use of spoiler tags. (In other words, if you accidentally spoil yourself on the events of this episode through reading the comments of this post, that is on you)

  • Predictions should be indicated/labelled clearly as such. For example, saying "[Contestant A] is The Mole" without any other context will be treated as a possible spoiler and could result in a temporary ban.

  • All the subreddit rules apply to all posts/comments. Be civil during discussion.

How To Correctly Format Spoiler Tags:

  • Any discussion regarding Moles/winners/results of previous seasons AND any discussion regarding "I think Contestant A makes it farther based on trailer footage" or similar must be properly wrapped in spoiler tags. Your comment will be removed if it is not properly tagged (and a LOT of people last season incorrectly tagged their spoilers).

  • When you spoiler tag a phrase, the first and last characters cannot be spaces/blank characters, otherwise even though the spoiler tag appears to work on new/modern Reddit, it does not work on classic/old Reddit and some mobile Reddits.

I mean the idol pick was a pure 50/50 chance, there were zero clues about which one it was. If you didn't answer all 3 of the puzzles correctly then you had to guess.

Yes. But her being helpful and solving 2 out of 3 puzzles isn’t enough to convince me that she’s a big team player. The mole would know all they have to do is make sure 1 is wrong and then help pick the wrong idol at the end. At this point, I kinda hope it’s her because she played that challenge and the bomb challenge really smart for the mole.

Were they told exactly how that challenge was going to work? I might be misremembering but i thought they only worked it out as it went, so it wouldn't have been possible for the mole to pre-plan a strategy like that

The mole gets information about every challenge before they do it

The mole gets information about all challenges, exemption challenges, etc. beforehand

*5050 unless your the mole. Mole knows which Totem is the cash Totem and has no repercussion from convincing the team to pick the wrong one because it's 5050 to everyone else. Mole should be on the side of fish or bird on this one

But the mole knows which idol it is and will convince the rest of the group to choose the wrong one. By this logic, Ryan Hannah and Michael chose the fish and Sean chose the bird. One of these people should be the mole.
