Reminder- set the VCRs if you're interested. I'm a bit concerned that this is going to be stupid, but I'll watch. Six episodes is awfully short though...

Any good reasons to tune into this one?
So far, I have only seen one episode (in the middle of the show, I think) but couldn't figure out what it was all about.

LOL, It's 3:30 am and I am watching ABC overnight World News Now, and the anchor just introduced a piece on a singer making a comeback by saying

" One day you are up, the next day you are in the cast of Celebrity Mole..."

And that show is on THEIR OWN NETWORK! ROFLMAO!

From Zap2It.com:
Kathy Griffin Dishes on 'Celebrity Mole'

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Kathy Griffin admits she didn't know quite what she was getting into when she signed on for ABC's "Celebrity Mole: Hawaii."

"I definitely thought it would be like fakey 'Celebrity Mole,' with, like, bulls**t games," the comedian and actress ("Suddenly Susan") says. "I didn't know we'd be jumping off cliffs."

But she was, as were six other (reasonably) well-known faces -- Stephen Baldwin, Corbin Bernsen, Michael Boatman, Kim Coles, Frederique van der Wal and Erik von Detten -- in an abbreviated version of the network's survival game show. The six-episode celebrity edition premieres at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday (Jan. 8).

It's not that the show's producers misled her in anyway. It's just that Griffin, an avowed fan of reality TV who briefly hosted an MTV talk show about the genre, had seen enough "celebrity" editions of other game and reality shows to think she was in for an easy time.

"It was my wrong assumption that we were going to have this cushy, sweet setup," she says. "Then I got there, and I was like 'Wait. What's with the real 'Mole'? This is the real 'Mole.' ... I kept asking for a pie-eating contest. ... It was way harder than I thought."

Griffin has irked some of her fellow contestants because she has mockingly badmouthed the show in the media and noted that none of the players is exactly setting Hollywood on fire at the moment.

"I'm actually teasing. But here's the thing: Everyone else hates me because I keep saying it's the D-list goes to town, and they're all furious about that," she says. "One of them called and yelled at me because of something I said on [Howard Stern's radio show]. I said 'Honey, none of us thought this was Shakespeare in the Park when we signed up.' "

Griffin says she would "never, never" appear on another reality show. But she enjoyed her time in Hawaii -- especially the fact that the players were allowed to keep whatever money they won.

"A D-list celebrity like myself, I need that money," she says. "Me and Darva and Coolio and that other crowd I run with, we need that cash. If I have one more bad pilot season, I'm gonna do snuff films."

The more I read about this show/concept the more I think this is as stupid as it gets. Just bogus.

No one gets voted out? What is the point?

Of course I'm gonna watch the first show.

Now I am starting to think Grooch was right and Kathy IS the mole. I am going to watch her carefully.

I read that that the person that we would least likely think is the Mole turns out to be the Mole... my thought is Baldwin...he seems to be the dumbest of the group, although I don't know much about Frederique....

I thought Kathy would not be the mole because she is too chatty...but she seems to be the only one doing much press at all (even if she is being snark...that could be their marketing slant since it is such a cheesy concept.)

I am probably overthinking...but I am suspicious...Plus she liked it because they got to keep their winnings...usually only the winner wins (tho I think the celebs got paid something)

Is anyone else concerned that this Celebrity edition could be the final blow to the Mole? I mean, I really loved the first season, and the second season was pretty good too (not counting its long "hiatus" and over-the-top Bill is the Mole clues).
BUT, I can just see people tuning into this tonight and thinking "wow, how is this primetime programming?" Now, I haven't seen the first episode yet, much less the whole season, but I believe that if this turns out to be the train wreck it could be that ABC will pull the plug on the Mole.
I really don't want to see this happen, but I have a feeling that this could lead to the Mole's demise.

Then again, now that I have written this, Celebrity Mole may be a hit..... but I am still a bit concerned.
