Pales in comparison to the real show, but fun nonetheless

"The Mole" is one of my favorite TV shows, so I decided to watch this show and give it a try. Ahmad Rashad is not as good a host as Anderson Cooper, but he's not as bad as most people would say he is. These celebrities are C-listers and second bananas, but all except Kathy Griffin seem to put their fame aside and just play the game. The fact that these already-rich celebrities are playing for THEMSELVES is a huge turnoff, but the merits of the franchise more than carry this show.

The adventure genre features exciting journeys, quests, or expeditions undertaken by characters who often face challenges, obstacles, and risks in pursuit of a goal. Adventures can take place in a wide range of settings, from exotic and fantastical locations to historical or even everyday environments.

The game show genre features TV series with contestants competing against each other in various challenges, tasks, or quizzes to win prizes or rewards. Game shows are designed to engage viewers by presenting exciting and often competitive scenarios that involve participants using their knowledge, skills, and strategies to outperform their opponents and win.

The mystery genre features the investigation and solving of a puzzle, typically a crime or an enigmatic event. Mysteries are known for their suspenseful narratives, intricate plots, and the challenge they present to readers or viewers to piece together clues and solve the central mystery alongside the characters.

The reality TV genre, short for "reality television," features real-life situations, events, and interactions, often involving ordinary people rather than actors performing scripted roles. Reality TV shows aim to capture unscripted and authentic moments, providing viewers with a glimpse into various aspects of human life, behavior, and experiences.

This show is similar to "Mole, The" (2001/I), except celebrities are playing the game. Also, a new host.
