It’s obvious that you haven’t seen the Netflix finale. The MoleThere’s a lot of Mole-ish and major spoilers ahead.
Did you guess it? J’accuuuuuuuse!!!!! The identity of The MoleAfter three weeks spent yarn-walling it, and pointing fingers at each player in the Netflix series, the truth has been finally revealed.
Recommendations from a great host Alex WagnerThe players are The MoleYou must all work together to complete missions and earn cash to win a pot that only one person can claim. The person who correctly guesses the identity and location of the Mole (a member of the group that is secretly trying to sabotage missions) is that person. Each challenge requires that the group answer 20 questions about the identity and motivations of the imposter. The one closest to the truth is sent home.
They were held in Brisbane jail, searched in the Great Barrier Reef for crates, played hide and seek in Sydney and scaled one of Australia’s highest peaks. The question is, who was the Mole all along?
The final two episodes left us with five choices: Kesi, a software developer, Joi Schweitzer, a commercial pilot, Avori Henderson, joi Schweitzer, a professional gamer, Jacob Hacker, firefighter Jacob Hacker and William Richardson, a brand manager. They could all have been called the Mole.
The Mole was finally revealed after a thrilling finale mission, which took over Sydney’s Bare Island Fort. It’s Kesi!
William was right, and he took home $101,500. Joi was left with just memories.
Then, where were all the clues? How did Kesi get around the restrictions on each mission?
Episode 1
Kesi does her thing in the Daintree first mission. William and Dom are on the ground and Kesi lets them take the lead in team selection. Avori gets the crate from the trees. All this creates the illusion that Kesi’s there to win cash.
Kesi explains in the finale that his first mission was to convince people to trust him. “First impressions are very important.”
Episode 2
Kesi has an advantage when it comes to jailbreak: She’s been there before! Kesi is able to see the Boggo Jail abandoned Boggo Jail as a potential sabotage target because she had a briefing with producers earlier. We pointed this out in Our detailed analysis of The MoleKesi informs Joi that she can’t see the key outside of her door. William however, was able see his key through his door. Joi has a tiny peephole, so she can’t see Kesi’s key either — it’s the perfect cover to stall while throwing the audience off and making Joi look like the Mole. They managed to escape in time but Kesi cost the team $6,000 in extra time.
In the finale, Kesi says that “Ofcourse I saw the key.” “I saw it within five minutes of being in cell. They didn’t need to see that.”
Kesi (who, let’s not forget, is a computer software analyst) then enters the code-cracking mission. lets other teammates take the lead on the code-cracking in the warehouse mission, then spells one of the passwords wrong typing it into the computer — “neone” instead of “neon” — which takes up an attempt and sets the team locked out for a crucial minute. Kesi’s team misses the exemptions. And The entire team loses $10,000 for cracking the code.
Episode 3
Avori deliberately missed the Great Barrier Reef treasure hunt dinghy. However, Kesi is also on the same side as the helicopter so she could see it. Avori used Avori to cover her eyes. Kesi also makes it appear that one of their oxygen tanks is very heavy. She stalls and then lifts the diving equipment out of a dinghy when she’s joined by her team.
Kesi does not look at the dossiers during this episode. She is the Mole and doesn’t have to. Joi makes a huge effort to drain the pot and get an exemption card. This gets suspicion from the rest of the team.
Episode 4
Kesi, along William, is the only person who can vote for Dom to be brought back into the game. It’s an easy way for Kesi divert suspicions and add money to the pot. She doesn’t have to worry about her homecoming, so adding another player is irrelevant. Kesi wins because the group outvotes her. They also lose $10,000 by ditching Dom.
Kesi is supposed to be an excellent code-reader, given her day job. Therefore, when she “failed” to recognize the money-based codes in episode 4’s bank theft, eyebrows were raised. Kesi opens almost every vault lockbox. Other thanThey were the right ones, but he pretends to not have been able to see them during the confrontation.
Kesi says, “My goal was not to help them much.” “Of course, I saw the clues. King Midas’ and Goldilocks. These clues were obvious. Every other name, except those, was read aloud. There was no hope.
Episode 5
In a seemingly honest mistake, Kesi misses a $2,000 mailbag in the train mission in episode 5, although Greg easily grabs it — twice. This was not an error!
Kesi says, “Just a flick of the wrist and the money was gone.”
Casey states in the episode, “If she is the Mole that was a good play.”
Episode 6
In episode 6, Kesi is deciding who should remain behind to complete the Blue Mountains Mountaineering Challenge. She has full knowledge of who the money is since she placed it there. Kesi claims she should stay behind as she fake-predicts that the money isn’t in her pocket. When Avori asks Kesi if she wants to stay behind, she immediately agrees knowing full well she has the money — and successfully costs the team $10,000 before they’ve even started. Kesi, who is left behind with Greg can remain under everyone’s radar.
What was the greatest move Kesi made during the game? After deeming her “most trustworthy”, players gasped out loud. Episode 6, Kesi steals an exemption card and leaves the team. She is chained to Kesi at the ankle. The pot cost $20,000 to the team. Absolutely brutal — and what a savvy play from the Mole to divert suspicion while losing a bunch of cash.
Kesi states, “Surely only a player would desire an exemption bad enough for them to steal it.” Even more shocking is watching the confrontation in the hotel, now that Kesi has been identified as the Mole.
Episode 7
Kesi acts as an interrogator during the Sydney challenge and tries to get William and Greg to tell Avori they are lying. It would have cost them $20,000 but Kesi is unable to prevail.
The elimination round holds the greatest clue. Greg’s number-one suspect was Kesi for several episodes. Greg told Alex that Kesi was his number one suspect after Joi turned all suspicions on Jacob at dinner. Joi may be the reason I’m here tonight. Greg switched his suspect to Jacob. This was a fatal mistake as he had the Mole so early in the game.
Episode 8
Episode 8 shows Joi suspecting Kesi of being a spy after she does the hide-and-seek challenge. Kesi seems to stall when she tries to find the circling birds from the roof, even though Joi points them out. Joi then decides that a rock-paper scissors game is the best way for Kesi to find the correct pigeon. Joi is too focused on this mission to make these strategies work. But they are pretty successful tries. Joi accuses Kesi openly of being the Mole at this table. She doesn’t miss any beat in deflecting it.
Episode 9
The Snowy Mountains mission required contestants to transport blocks of cash up the highest mountain in Australia. Kesi displayed peak Mole behavior by throwing cash cubes off the sled and then dumping them in snow.
“In the ultimate double bluff I threw the ice blocks off of the pulk. It would be hard to believe that the Mole could be so obvious.”
Kesi says, “In the Snowy Mountains it was time for us to switch from defense to offensive.” “In the ultimate double Bluff, I threw the ice blocks from the pulk. It would be hard to believe that the Mole could be so obvious.”
Episode 10
Last chance to sabotage Kesi uses only one suctioncup to climb the wall and reach the money. Then, she “accidentally”, slips and falls. Later, she deceives her suspicion by catching the last cash canister.
“Sometimes the greatest spy, the most effective double agent is right in front you face,” she said.
So, there you go, every move Kesi made to take money out of the pot and sabotage the missions — extremely well played. Alex Wagner, our host, said that “the most charmingly deplicitous person we’ve ever met”
