The Mole/YMMV

• Cult Classic
• Crowning Moment of Funny: Anderson's Funhouse, specifically when Al was in the Tiny Bubbles room.
• Even Better Sequel: Fans generally prefer the second Anderson Cooper season over the first season, though both are well liked. Part of this has to do with Anderson Cooper becoming more lighthearted and jokey with the players than how he was shown on the first season.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Still popular in the Netherlands after 10 series.
• Magnificent Bastard: Anderson Cooper filled this role a couple times, notably when he faked out all the contestants into thinking they were still going to have an elimination after Elavia's bribe. When he revealed he was just kidding, he started to dance around and sing, "I love this game!"
• Too Good to Last: It seems that most of the audience was expecting the show to be more akin to Survivor or Big Brother rather then taking The Mole for what it was.
