Who was The Mole in The Mole game? ›

After successfully outwitting ten other players (aside from winner Will), Kesi was revealed as the Mole and headed home to New York.

After revealing that Kesi is the Mole, host Alex Wagner sat the reunited cast down and played Kesi's video diary, which she'd been keeping all along. As Kesi revealed, she didn't start sabotaging right away. She helped out in the first mission so as to not draw any attention.

The final episode revealed that Computer Software Analyst Kesi was The Mole, sabotaging tasks throughout the entire competition. According to Netflix fan site Tudum, Kesi was asked three times to be The Mole before she accepted.

After a dramatic finale mission that took over Sydney's Bare Island fort, the Mole was finally revealed. It's Kesi! William guessed right and took home $101,500, and sadly Joi was left with only memories.

First Eliminated: Osei

As the first to go home, Osei might've been on the wrong track, and his gameplay — “My strategy was to be myself, which tends to confuse people anyway” — didn't protect him in the end.

It wasn't the biggest sabotage, as she was the one who volunteered to give Joi the briefcase with the most money ($8,000) in it and she knew Joi suspected her (and claimed she wanted Joi to suspect her), so she knew Joi would not be going home, but Kesi still took some money out of the pot here when she changed the ...

With that in mind, yes, it's likely that the Mole was paid to sabotage the other players' gameplay. However, it's unknown what they — or any contestants — were paid.

Seven celebrities competed in physical and mental challenges while trying to determine who among them had been hired to sabotage their efforts to earn money from these challenges. In the end, model Frederique van der Wal was unmasked as the mole and comedian Kathy Griffin took home the $233,000 grand prize.

To sum up: Kesi has the be the Mole. She was able to let other players draw attention early on, thus covering her work as the Mole. She's avoided detection and even been called trustworthy. And the instant the one player who suspected her changed his mind a teeny bit, he was eliminated.

It's a core attribute of a “Mole” host: They don't know who the mole is, either, “so they are working with the cast and working with the audience to help unravel the mystery,” Culvenor said. “They're not in the know.

Who gets kicked off the mole? ›

Among the contestants is one person who has secretly been designated "the Mole" by the producers, tasked with sabotaging the group's money-making efforts. At the end of each episode, the contestant who knows the least about the mole, as determined by the results of a multiple-choice quiz, is eliminated from the game.

Will and Dom were two of the strongest players in the game and they even worked together for a little while. But, because The Mole is rife with paranoia, they were never totally trustworthy when it came to their friendship.

One person we know is not the titular saboteur is Greg Shapiro, who was eliminated in the show's eighth episode, which aired on Friday, October 14. Today, the season finale will air on Netflix and the season-long mystery of the game will be solved.
