I don't have a list of the previous Mole contestants, but I recall seeing a couple in there before -- all of whom, due to the nature of the game, got
weeded out pretty quickly.
Heather was kinda/sorta a mactor, though, and played well, right up to the end. |

Really? You people are complaining about THIS cast being full of mactors? This is one of the least mactory reality TV show casts ever. People will bitch
about anything I guess.
When I was going through casting they seemed to not be looking for mactors, but who knows. I would've been better than all of these losers.

Yeah, it could be worse for you mactor haters.
Heather wasn't really a mactress though. She lives a normal life in Texas. It's possible to be attractive without being a famewhore! Dorothy, on the other hand, was listed as a musician from NYC. I bet people would bitch about that now if she was in this cast instead. |

Love" and "Flavor of Love" and other MTV faire cry out MACTOR but I really wasn't expecting it on The Mole, even in a minor capacity. I
guess I am too much of an idealist. Pragmatism was never one of my strong points.

I would have bitched about Dorothy being a musician from NYC then if she had promoted her band on the show. But she was there to play the game and left the
famewhoring until post-game interviews.
I didn't see Heather as a mactress, but getting engaged on the show was whorendous, though you could blame that on her douchebag boyfriend. Still, she is the one who chose him. |

Didn't Heather have a radio show gig or something that she leveraged by being on the Mole? I might be confusing her with someone else. That proposal
incident still sticks in my craw, and I liked her.
Dorothy is a Dartmouth graduate. An Ivy League degree I think immediately offsets any possible mactory behavior. Agreeance overall though on this being a fairly mactor-free series. It's in the producers' best interest to have intelligent, if not somewhat paranoid, people playing the game. |

I would think that most people applying for these shows have done some sort of "mactoring" (I love this word) in the past. I don't believe
for one minute that every person does'nt want some sort of fame from these shows. If you believe that they are all there to just play the game you are
wrong. They all want FAME!! |

first Mole became an adviser for the second series and might still be involved in production to this day. I don't know. Then there are those who parlayed
their exposure into fairly lucrative careers (eg, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Amber Brkich, Omarosa sort of)

Am I the only one who gets excited whenever they see a Mole commercial, immediately followed by thinking "I'm sucha dork."?

Saying that they all apply for the fame is like saying all Jeopardy contestants are in it for the fame. It is about
testing yourself.
As a rejected applicant, I can say that I didn't apply for the Mole for the FAME. I applied for the adventure, the travel and the mental challenge, not to be the next co-host of the View. And I'll admit that I'm a bit bitter that mactors, who aren't known for their brains, got cast instead of someone who truly floves the game. |

Sorry to break it to you people, but someone can be attractive and still interesting/smart. I know its difficult to comprehend! And
besides, The Mole was canceled like 5 years ago, and the number of people who actually remember it are probably very few. Of course there are gonna be
"mactors" or whatever involved in this.

No better place to post this than right here:
THE MOLE 4: MOLERIAH In a few weeks, Will and I are going to be hosting the fourth season of our Mole online game series: MOLERIAH! The game works the same way as the real Mole on TV - a group of strangers must work together to earn money that goes into a collective pot. One of them, however, is the Mole, a double agent whose mission is to sabotage the group's missions. Every round, players take a quiz about the identity of the Mole. The player who scores lowest on the quiz will be eliminated. For the fourth season, the premise is as follows: Mariah Carey has finally gone schizophrenic! Now, ten of Mariah's personalities are in a power struggle inside her head. Because they are egotistical, all of the personalities want to stay separated, but Mariah's true personality (i.e., the Mole) is doing everything in her power to make sure the personalities come together one by one, in order to form the true Mariah. Players will compete to add money to an amazon.com gift card that could be worth up to $30. No, it's not a million bucks, but you usually play these things for free so stop complaining. The ten Mariah personalities are as follows: 
AGENT M The calculating, cunning side of Mariah's personality. A sensual, deadly mix of beauty and smarts. 
BIANCA Mariah's playful, sexy side. A horny sex kitten always willing to go at it. 
BILLIE Mariah's hopeful, kind side. Talented yet modest, jaded yet optimistic. 
BUTTERFLY Mariah's sad, inquisitive side. A mysterious woman still confronting her past. 
MARIAH Mariah's innocent side. The talented, naive newcomer she once used to be.  
MICHELLE & MONIQUE The dueling sides of Mariah's biracial identity. One is white. One is black. Both are polar opposites. 
MIMI Mariah's strong, unwavering side. Made it through the rain. 
MOORIAH Mariah's fat side. Finds comfort in food and hides food in her comforter. 
TOON MARIAH A physical manifestation of Mariah's lost childhood. If you are interested in playing, please fill out the application below and PM it to either me or Will. Since only 10 spots are available, we will be very selective when it comes to the players we choose. 1. How much time are you willing to devote to this game per day? What times are you usually available? What time zone are you in? [note: The game should not last longer than 8 days, and we will try our best to schedule events around everyone's schedules.] 2. Have you ever played in any Online Reality Game before? What was it and how did you do? 3. If selected, would you be interested in playing as the Mole? [note: The Mole does not receive any money] 4. What would be your biggest advantage and disadvantage in a game like this? 5. If selected, which side of Mariah's personality would you like to play as? [note: please list your top 5 choices, with 1 being your first choice.] We will let you know as soon as possible if you have been selected. Thanks for your interest.

The mactors don't bother me. This show had quite enough non-actors during the celebrity editions. (Jeebus Baldwin, anybody?)

To those who asked, I remember some of the season 2 cast saying how frustrated they were that they weren't allowed to promote the show when the ratings
weren't doing that well. They would actually come up with ideas and bring them to ABC but ABC wouldn't allow them to do anything.
Maybe ABC learned from there mistakes. greenscreener wrote:This quote and what Bobby says in his video are almost exactly what I said to the interviewer when I tried out. It's kind of uncanny how similar we are; strategy, attitude, and even physical characteristics. Bobby most likely tried out in Philly as well since he's from PA, so I'm imaging by the time the casting people got to me they were probably all "Eh. Poor man's Bobby. NEXT!"

Is Bobby the first "normal" gay guy to make it on television?

Season 1, I think, is airing next weekend on Fox Reality. I say I think because it just says The Mole on my guide and doesn't give any info.

This cast looks interesting. My guess is that Victoria or Bobby is the Mole.
I wish I had had time to apply.  Although I love my reality TV, I think
this is the only show I would actually try out for. Hopefully there will be another season.
Oh yeah, Elavia <3 |
