# The Mole (American TV series) season 7

The seventh season of the American version of The Mole, which is the second instalment by Netflix, premiered on June 28, 2024. The season was produced by Eureka Productions, with Ari Shapiro as the new host, and was filmed in Malaysia during July and August 2023. The cast were revealed on Tudum on 31 May 2024.

## Format

Following a similar format as several versions of the franchise, twelve players are gathered to complete assignments to earn money for the group pot. However, one of the twelve is the titular "Mole", a player selected by production to secretly sabotage the assignments and cause the group to earn the least amount of money for the winner's pot as possible. Every few days, players would take a multiple choice test about the identity of the Mole and the Mole's actions over the course of last few days. Once the test is complete, the players await their results in an elimination ceremony. The player with the lowest score is eliminated from the game, while in the event of the tie the player who completed their test the slowest is eliminated. Contestants are eliminated until there are three remaining players (two genuine contestants and the Mole themself), where they must complete a final test about the identity and actions of the Mole throughout the season.

#### Intruder Mission

After the 12 contestants meet for the first time at a clearing within a grassfield, it is announced that five "intruders," applicants who missed out on being selected for the season, will attempt to cross an assault course within 30 minutes to earn a place on the season. For the mission, the contestants must fire paintballs at intruders crossing the course, eliminating any intruders they hit. If the group hit all five intruders, $20,000 is earned for the pot. However, the first intruder (if any) to enter a car at the end of the course earns a place on the season, replacing one of the current 12 contestants.
Before the intruders run the course, the group have five minutes to select a leader to coordinate the mission. If an intruder reaches the end of the assault course, the leader's place on the season is taken by the successful intruder. The group earns a bonus $10,000 if they select a leader within five minutes, otherwise a leader is chosen randomly with no money earned. The group selected Neesh as the leader within the time-limit, earning $10,000 for the pot.
To cross the course, intruders must solve a clue to unlock themselves from a chain, then cross the three Zones without getting hit. At Zone 1, the intruders must cross a series of obstacles while four contestants use two slingshots to fire paintballs at them. At Zone 2, the intruders, now armed with smoke bombs and shields, must collect a key from the top of a tower before proceeding to the next zone. Meanwhile, four contestants swivel a platform to aim the paintball gun mounted to it and fire at the intruders. At Zone 3, the intruders must cross a series of obstacles while three group members use a paintball gun, loaded with only 10 paintballs each, to fire at them. Nearby is also a screen with a birds-eye-view of the course where one contestant can communicate information to others via walkie talkie.

They can either dial "1" on the phone to potentially add $5,000 to the pot, or to dial "2" to earn a Correction, an advantage which corrects an incorrect answer on their next quiz. If all three selected contestants dial "1," $5,000 is added to the pot. Otherwise, the contestant(s) who choose the Correction earns it for themselves.
Deanna, Muna and Tony were selected as the most trustworthy contestants. Deanna and Tony dialled "1" while Muna dialled "2" meaning she received a Correction for the quiz and no money was earned.

At Smashing Rock, contestants must figure out that they must follow numbered rocks to find their half of the clue in a hanging cargo net. At the shipwreck, contestants must dive to collect a first aid kit from a sunken ship and collect their half of the clue inside.
After combining both halves of the clue, the group must figure out that it requires them to fold the map to reveal an "X" where the chests are buried. After finding the treasure chests, the group must then transport them to a buoy using a raft which they must assemble using items along the beach. If they bring the treasure to the buoy within two hours, $15,000 is added to the pot.
The group successfully transported both chests to the buoy within two hours, earning $15,000 for the pot.

However, the last player remaining in the room also receives the Exemption for the next quiz.

Upon arrival, each group has one hour to complete a "heist" by entering a specific apartment, unlocking a safe and "stealing" the jewellery inside. For each group that successfully opens their safe and steals the jewellery, $10,000 is added to the pot.
To do so, each group leader must rappel down the side of the building to identify their group's designated apartment, distinguished with a red chair on the balcony. After finding the apartment, they must enter through the balcony and open the front door for their remaining group members to enter with a bag of supplies. Afterwards, each group must search their apartment for the safe, determine the combination to unlock it and steal the jewellery inside. To determine the code, groups must figure out that they must input batteries from the apartment into a UV flashlight in their supply bag, then use the UV flashlight to find two numbers on household items which illuminate when shone upon. These numbers form the four-digit code to the safe, and teams only have three attempts to input the correct code. Inside each apartment is also a clue which groups can open at the cost of $5,000.
One group opened their safe within the time limit, however one clue was also opened, meaning that in total $5,000 was earned for the pot.

#### Fortune Mission

Each contestant chooses one fortune cookie at random to open secretly. Five fortune cookies contain varying amounts of money ($50,000 in total) while the other five contain an exemption slip.
Each round, the group must discuss and vote for one contestant to eliminate from the mission. This process repeats until only five contestants remain. Each contestant who was not voted out then reveals the contents of their fortune cookie. If their fortune cookie contains money, the money is added to the pot. However, if the cookie contains an Exemption, that contestant receives an Exemption for the upcoming quiz.
Hannah, Michael, Neesh, Quaylyn and Tony remained by the end of the mission. Michael had an Exemption, earning it for himself for the next quiz, while the other four contestants had fortune cookies containing money, with a combined value of $45,000, which was added to the pot.

As waitstaff, the group attends a gala at the Petronas Twin Towers where three out of sixty guests (an artist, a doctor and a pilot) have brought a cash donation of $10,000 each, while the remaining guests brought other gifts.

The contestants at the back of house are given photos of each guest, their table number, access to their belongings in the cloakroom, and RSVP cards detailing guests' dietary requirements and gift/donation choices. The contestants at the front of house must serve food and beverages to the guests to determine which guests do not match the dietary criteria of those who brought cash and communicate the information to the back of house team so they can eliminate the incorrect guests. Additionally, the front of house team can identify guests' cloak tag numbers for the back of house team to match with their belongings in the cloakroom to identify guests who match the occupations of the three who brought money.

However, only boxes loaded into the truck labelled with the contestant most selected as the Mole during the previous quiz add money to the pot. Additionally, inside one shipping container is a "Doubler" box which doubles the earnings of the truck it's loaded in, if that truck is correct.

The first two advantages were not bid for. Neesh bid $59,500 (the entire pot at the time, including the $10,000 earned from the first two advantages) for the Exemption, claiming it for himself and meaning that overall $49,500 was removed from the pot for the assignment.

Each group can also open a clue for this part of the mission at the cost of $5,000 from their earnings.
Afterwards, groups must then place the measured tin on a scale to open the bomb's detonator before cutting one of two colored wires inside, only one of which defuses the bomb. Each group's wire they must cut is a different color, so teams must walkie-talkies inside the detonator to communicate and figure out their correct wires.

If one negotiator selects the $50,000 and the other selects the Exemption, no money is earned and the negotiator who selected the Exemptions wins them for their group. If both negotiators select the Exemption, no money or Exemptions are earned. Before making their decision, the negotiators are given time to discuss with each other, as well as with their respective groups.
Both group's negotiators, Muna and Sean, selected the Exemptions. Therefore, no money was added to the pot and no Exemptions were earned.

Hannah is given the chance to open baskets one at a time. She can either end the mission and keep the contents of the opened basket, or reject it and open another basket instead. However, if she opens the "game over" basket, the mission automatically ends and all items are forfeited.

## Mole activity

As the Mole, Sean was briefed about missions beforehand. The following acts of Mole activity were revealed in the finale or in Sean's post-season interviews:
* Intruder Mission: While firing the slingshots, Sean missed all of the intruders crossing the zone.
* Buried Treasure Mission: As one of the contestants tasked with assembling the raft, Sean cut the rope into lengths which were too short to properly tie knots and also punctured holes in the wood during the mission.
* Tower Heist Mission: As a nominated group leader tasked with rappelling down the tower, Sean feigned having a fear of heights to reduce any suspicion on him during the rappel. Later, he also read out numbers on items which were not relevant in finding the code for the safe, hid several batteries from the apartment in his boot, and pressed incorrect buttons on the safe before the rest of his group attempted to enter the code.
* Movie Night Mission: In his casting interview which several contestants watched, Sean revealed that he was formerly an undercover cop (a fact he did not mention when introducing himself to the contestants), in hopes that other contestants would believe that an undercover cop would not be selected as the Mole.
* Gala Mission: While in the back of house team, Sean replaced one of the guests' photos. Additionally, knowing that Michael suspected him of being the Mole at the time, Sean switched another photo right in front of Michael to try and mislead him.
* Money Shipping Mission: Sean pushed for the Doubler box to be placed in Muna's truck, which ended up being the incorrect one.
* Advantage Auction Mission: Before the advantages were revealed, Sean announced that he would bid for an Exemption if it came up, in order to encourage a "bidding war" among the other contestants.
* Money Bomb Mission: Sean suggested for his group to open the clue (although they ended up not doing so).
* Museum Heist Mission: While operating the pulley, Sean abruptly pulled a rope which resulted in an artefact being knocked over. He also pulled the ropes in the opposite way that Hannah and Muna were to ensure that the pulley would not move.
* End of the Road Mission: Sean stepped on a live mine in one of the grids, losing the money of that zone.

## Hidden clues

The following hidden clues were revealed by Netflix.
* Buried Treasure Mission: The name of the ship at the shipwreck was the Padang Rumput, which translates to "the meadows" in Malay. "The meadows" is also the meaning of "Las Vegas" (Sean's hometown) translated from Spanish.
* Countdown Mission: The beachside bar where the mission took place had a sign warning about jellyfish which displayed the words "Sting Warning." These words were also a reference to Sean's (former) occupation as an undercover cop.
* Tower Heist Mission: One of the items around the apartment were poker chips from Las Vegas, a reference to Sean's hometown.
* Money Bomb Mission: The balance scales which groups used to compare weights were a reference to Sean's zodiac sign: Libra.
* Museum Heist Mission: One of the fake artefacts at the exhibition was a sculpture of two hands. It was revealed that these were actually a sculpture of Sean's hands, including his broken knuckle, which he had cast before the mission. Additionally, the symbol which contestants had to find to distinguish between artefacts was of a monkey, which is also Sean's Chinese zodiac sign.
