Kathryn Price was on a local Chicago talk show that was broadcast tonight on the PBS station. You may remember that she was the young lawyer who turned out to be the mole. On tonight's show, she plugged the date for auditions for The Mole II. She said there would be 14 participants in the second Mole, rather than 10.

I was happy to hear this news that there would be a second series, as I thought The Mole was a really fascinating puzzle with interactions on so many levels. The show, however, seemed to get only lukewarm reviews from TV writers and was then pretty much ignored in the press because the ratings didn't skyrocket and attention was drawn to Temptation Island.

Thanks for the update, Pen! I really enjoyed The Mole. Too bad ABC didn't do very much promotion of the show, 'cause I think it's much more intelligent and inventive and just plain interesting than the others. I like 'em all, tho. :)

I missed the first couple of episodes of the Mole, and regretted it. It turned out to be a pretty interesting show. Much better than T&A Island.

I thought this the best reality TV yet. I am surprized that this is the only exposure Kathryn or anyone got. I would like to have heard or read interviews about how the players felt, how they reasoned, who they are in touch with now...etc. All the things they ask the Survivors. The show ended and fade to black.

I agree, Fruit... well, next to Eco-challenge which really didn't seem like a game.

Wonder when Mole 2 will air?

I too liked the Mole better than T&A.

I think the Mole is a thinking person's Survivor. And with the editing potential so that the Mole is never really obvious at any point (unless you see the name on the bad that they had to zoom in on and change the camera shot).

Maybe next time the person who has the same number of letter is their first or last name as they are introduced will be a clue--one we can pick out of all they show.

I digress--sorry. It was a show I really enjoyed and look forward to a second helping. Unlike those beans Colby had tonight.

I saw a commercial yesterday afternoon while I was watching Rosie that showed the players in the first Mole --and said they're looking for contestants now for the Mole II. Yea!
