# Wie is de Mol? (Dutch TV series) season 21

The twenty-first season of the Dutch TV series Wie is de Mol? ("Who is the Mole?") aired on 2 January 2021. This was the fourth season with Rik van de Westelaken as host. The location of the season was the Czech Republic. The candidates and the location were announced on 21 December 2020 in a special television episode of the aftershow Moltalk.
The season premiered on 2 January 2021. With the socially distanced Live Reunion on 6 March 2021, which saw Roxanne "Rocky" Hehakaija win based on time against fellow finalist, Charlotte Nijs, to successfully unmask actress Renée Fokker as the Mole of 2021. Fokker's reign as the Mole saw Hehakaija win the new all-time lowest pot of €9,675, surpassing the record set by the Season 19 Mole of €10,150.

## Format

Followed the same format as its Belgian predecessor, ten candidates were gathered to complete Assignments to earn money for the group pot. However, one of the ten is the titular Mole (de Mol), the one designated to 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 20-question multiple choice test about the identity of the Mole. Once the test is complete, the candidates await their results in an Execution ceremony. The candidate with the worst score is executed from the game, while in the event of a tie the candidate who completed their test the slowest is executed. The season plays out until there are three remaining candidates, where they must complete a final test (consisting of 40 questions). The candidate with the highest score, or who had completed their test the fastest in a tie, is declared the winner and receives the group's pot.

The statements that the Mole collects are not counted towards the final total. Inside the mine is also a dilemma, where candidates can pay €250 for an envelope with a clue about the Mole; the envelope contains a smaller envelope and a candle.

## Mole sabotage

The following acts of sabotage were revealed at the finale.
Vriend of vijand: Renée shot Erik, therefore eliminating him from the assignment. She verbally provided incorrect codes for the chests containing money and purposely let herself get shot while holding €250. Throughout the assignment she feigned deafness, requiring other candidates to repeat information to her. She also encouraged the group to physically run and look at the lock combinations themselves (as opposed to verbally communicating them), increasing the risk of candidates being shot, as well as losing time.
De dans ontspringen?: Despite hearing the explorers clearly, Renée frequently repeated the information incorrectly, meaning the gatherers often opened incorrect ballerina boxes first which increased their risk of being shot. She also allowed herself to be shot while holding €350, thus losing the money.
Symbolisch bedrag: Renée provided the image of two incorrect signs which were subsequently run over.
Meeliften: Renée avoided giving the complete number of required correct answers for a question, feigning confusion for the final answers required.
Wie, wat... waar?: Renée suggested answers/observations she knew were incorrect.
Zekerheid bieden: As the Mole, Renée was told of Charlotte, Marije and Rocky's €5,000 bid. Knowing a substantial amount of money would be lost, she then only bid €1,000 for the advantage to avoid suspicion.
Steen goed: Renée switched the items inside the locker to ensure the wrong garments were selected and ultimately hoisted. She also lowered the correct garments hoisted by the other candidates during the assignment.
Aanwijzingen: Despite being given the list of songs beforehand, Renée did not provide any correct guesses. She also mouthed the words of several songs, meaning money would not be earned even if guessed correctly.
Voor joker staan: Renée intentionally switched the incorrect puzzle pieces despite correctly hearing the instructions from Rocky. She also switched puzzle pieces that were not instructed to be switched, guaranteeing the failure of the assignment.
Ra(a)dgeving: In Renée's first spin, the wheel landed on €2,000. When Rocky revealed to her that outcome benefits the pot, Renée rejected taking the money and elected to spin the wheel again.

## Hidden clues

The following clues were revealed in the finale or on the show's website:

### Moltalk aftershow

* During the Moltalk aftershow on 21 December 2020, all candidates stood in a circle with screens above them before departing to film the season. The screens simultaneously played videos of each candidate mysteriously talking about whether they are the Mole or not. In her video. Renée reveals that she is the Mole.

### Episode 1

* In the "Door een Deur" assignment, the envelope containing the dilemma reveals a secret clue when held up to a candle in the room reading "Aflevering 8 derde lied" (Episode 8 third song). This is a reference to the "Rij gedrag" assignment in episode 8 where the third song played was "The Lady in Red"; Renée frequently wore red clothing throughout the season.
* Episode 1 is titled "Geljik" (immediately/right away), and the episode's assignments immediately reveal clues to the Mole:
** In the "Door eeen Deur" assignment, immediately after the word "Mol" was read aloud, Renée was the first candidate to be introduced to the viewers.
** In the "Door een Deur" assignment, the Joker card that many candidates receive is modified with "WIE IS DE MOL?" instead of "Joker" as the card's text. The letter "I" in the text is unusually slanted. If positioned properly, the I would be horizontal and looks like a minus sign and "WIE" becomes "W − E", meaning the 23rd letter minus the 5th letter of the alphabet; this equals the 18th letter of the alphabet, R, which refers to Renée.
** In the "Moltainbiken" assignment, only the wording of Renée's sign, which says she initially wanted to be the Mole, matched the wording in the question at the end of the track.

### Episode 2

* Episode 2 is titled "Voorbeeld" which means "for example". However, voorbeeld is also a compound word of voor (for) and beeld (image/picture). During the "Om de tuin leiden" assignment, Renée was assigned the role of a photographer for the assignment.
* In the "De dans ontspringen?" assignment, the map of the monastery showed a section of rooms named after women, a reference to the TV series Vrouwenvleugel (Women's Wing) which Renée appeared in.

### Episode 3

* In the "Kameraad" assignment, Charlotte and Renée were a duo. When Charlotte admitted she answered Renée to the question "Who is the Mole?" on the previous quiz, Renée responded with "Doesn't matter, very good."
* In the "Binnenvaart" assignment, the cave the four candidates kayaked through also contained projections of candidates talking about trust. Only Renée did not have a projection in the cave because she could not be trusted as the Mole.

### Episode 4

* Episode 4 is titled "Voor het zeggen" which translates to "in charge" or "in control". In the "In vuur en vlam" assignment, Renée held the rope for the assignment in her hands, indicating she was in charge.

### Episode 5

* Episode 5 is titled "Tot drie tellen" (count to three). After submitting a bid in the "Zekerheid bieden", Renée was counting to three while waiting for other candidates to make their bids.

### Episode 6

* Episode 6 is titled "Wegstoppen" (tuck away). Renée tucks her Joker into her pocket during the episode. She also puts the money not claimed during the "Onder druk zetten" assignment in her pocket.
* In the "Ontsnappen" assignment, Renée knocks on the door of her cell three times, a reference to the Mole knocking on the door three times before giving candidate's their dilemma during the "Door een Deur" assignment in Episode 1.
* During the episode's execution, host Rik van de Westelaken mentions (with her approval) that Renée is the only candidate who is not nervous about the execution (as she won an exemption for the quiz). Rik then dubiously questions whether Renée is never nervous during executions, as the Mole cannot be eliminated, to which she nods subtly.

### Episode 7

* Episode 7 is titled "Aanwijzing" (clue). During the execution, Rik gives candidates a clue by saying "This is the last time you will be together in this formation, with a Mole in your midst." Renée was sitting in the middle seat at the execution during this announcement.
* During the "Zinvol" assignment, a series of the chests are shown during the explanation of the assignment, including chests with "Renée" and "klopt" (knock) on them. This is a clue to the aforementioned knocking by Renée during the "Door een Deur" assignment (Episode 1) and the "Ontsnappen" assignment (Episode 6).

### Episode 8

* Episode 8 is titled ""In één klap" (In One Fell Swoop). During the "Voor joker staan" assignment, if Renée swung the Joker puzzle (thereby messing up the pieces), she would become a Joker "in one fell swoop". Additionally, the assignment's title translates to "standing as a joker". During the assignment, Renée was the first candidate to stand at the Joker puzzle to attempt to solve it.

### Episode 9

* The episode's title is "Kaarsrecht" (upright). However, kaarsrecht is also a compound word of kaars (candle) and recht (straight/right). During the "Lumineus Idee" assignment, Renée was the only candidate who bought the envelope with a clue about the Mole and held the candle "right" under the envelope to reveal the clue.

## Controversy

In episode seven, the "Aanwijzingen" assignment required candidates to make the name of a song clear to others via movement and dance. After the episode aired, discussion arose on social media regarding the way contestant Charlotte Nijs attempted to communicate the song "Gangnam Style" by South Korean singer Psy. Nijs was seen performing a "slanted-eye" gesture while attempting to communicate the song, which fellow candidate Marije Knevel later imitated.
Knevel posted an apology on her social media following the airing of the episode. In response, this particular segment was removed for subsequent airings of the episode and AVROTROS addressed the situation on their social media.
