Biggest strengths and weaknesses: “I’m athletic and competitive. I can put money in the pot. I have good intuition. But I can also be pretty emotional and I have a soft spot, which can cloud that intuition and judgment at times.” The original Mole was a sort of seismic event in American television. It broke the mold,” host Wagner tells Tudum. “There’s every reason to watch the reboot, because I think the concept of the show is ever more resonant today. We have refreshed a lot of the elements to make them even more compelling than the original — and that was pretty damn compelling.” What are the rules of The Mole ?

Contestants are sometimes awarded an "Exemption" from elimination or can win them in certain missions. An exempt contestant receives immunity from the next elimination. In some cases, exemptions are awarded to a single player for an exceptional effort or performance during that day's task. Sometimes the exempted player is chosen by the group, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Other times, the exemption comes in the form of a temptation to deliberately fail a task and forfeit money for the group pot; or as an unexpected consolation prize for failure during a task.Prison Break Mission: Kesi saw the key needed to escape outside her cell but avoided telling her group until later to stall for time. Who suspects Kesi the most? Greg, who witnessed two of Kesi’s biggest Mole moves (if she’s the Mole). Biggest strengths and weaknesses: “My strengths include my competitiveness, my ability to stay calm in pressure situations and perhaps most importantly, my ability to stay neutral and maintain beneficial relationships with all players. My primary weaknesses are that I can lose sight of noteworthy occurrences when I become hyper-focused on successfully completing challenges and that my persona can be too threatening for garnering the trust of others.”

After successfully outwitting ten other players (aside from winner Will), Kesi was revealed as the Mole and headed home to New York. Next came another difficult challenge: not telling anyone the truth about her role on the show.

So now it’s more weird to admit that I am the Mole because I’m so accustomed to not saying it.”Cage Rescue Mission: The number 19941014 was printed on the barcode of the pizza box, representing Kesi's birthdate: October 14, 1994.

On occasion, a mission will have a cash penalty for failure. The missions comprise various physical and/or mental challenges posed to the contestants. While some are straightforward, with the rules and stakes fully explained to all contestants, on some occasions, not all aspects of the mission are fully explained to all contestants, increasing its difficulty. In those cases, perhaps only selected contestants are informed of the full nature of the challenge, and must work towards a different goal than the rest. In some instances, there are secret missions that only one or none of the contestants is aware of.

That way people vote for her as the Mole and are then eliminated because they got the quiz questions wrong. But Avori’s strategy to act like the Mole could still work even if she is the Mole, because there are two other people — one above her and one below her on this list — who are acting incredibly Mole-y, and thus could be taking attention off of her.
