Players working as a team complete a series of difficult physical and psychological tests, each worth a set amount of money. One of the players, however, is a "Mole" or saboteur, whose goal is to foil the efforts of the other players without revealing his or her identity. At the end of each episode, the group is given a quiz on The Mole's identity. The player who knows the least information about The Mole is then immediately sent home. In the final episode, The Mole is revealed and the one remaining player wins the jackpot, up to $1,000,000.

The Mole

Joseph Last Name

Viewers meet the players and learn the concept of the game. The players begin forming coalitions in the hope of making further in the game and learning more about who is the mole. The players all take part in a sky-diving challenge. The players' banking skills are tested in an attempt to earn money for the pot.

Part the First

A player is "kidnapped" and the rest use all means of transportation to try to save him in order to secure him and money for the pot. The players then split up into three Leaders, three Followers and a Good Eye player for games. One player is busted after an attempt at a sneak-peek at the show crew. Members of the Follower and Leader teams try to navigate a cornfield maze while avoiding guards attempting to hamper their progress.

Part the Second

A bullfighting game confuses the players, but they are still able to earn money for the pot. Some players come face-to-face with their dirty laundry, literally, while others are asked to unpleasant tasks. One player is asked to face all four, but the stakes in this case are higher: more money and an exemption. Fortunately, the negative results are only temporary, at least in some cases.

Part the Third

A sniper game provides a player with a choice between money or an exemption. A losing streak gets the players down, but a school-style challenge gives them an opportunity for big money. Some prove rather easy, while others are too much of a challenge to handle. The game becomes more complicated in a twist in which correct answers lose money for a new group answering the questions. One player claims to have psychic visions about the night's execution, but ends up being executed instead.

Part the Fourth

The players are divided into "Stupid," "Resourceful" and "Smart" teams for various games. Transportation dilemmas hinder the progress of all of the players. The players then take part in a game that tests how well their loved ones know them. Successful answers earn money for the pot and a chance for the players to see their loved ones, while incorrect answers lead to heartbreak, but only for a short time.

Part the Fifth

The players compete in a game described as a variation of "capture the flag." The game raises many suspicions as to who could be the mole and causes some finger-pointing. In Spain, the players attempt to decipher Spanish clues to search for books. Alleged verbal abuse causes one player to despair and they are executed.

Part the Sixth

The players divide into "arty" and "counting" groups and then participate in games in which they herd sheep or create a piece art designed to fool a critic. The sheep-herding group is given a choice of three dogs, with only one trained to herd sheep. They can earn $20,000 for herding them, and an additional $10,000 for counting them. What they don't know is that they've already been told the number of sheep. The players then are asked to challenging tasks, such as facing knife-throwing and fire-walking. The tasks are on a tiered-structure, with varying results worth exemptions and/or cash. The participating players are blindfolded, while another has to convince them to complete their tasks. This player is the only one who knows the truth about their tasks: that they only think they're doing something potentially dangerous.

Part the Seventh

Now that only three players are left, the remaining players take part in some final games. One mean game forces the players to answer revealing questions about each other, in the hopes of using information earned this way to find each other and earn money for the pot. In the final game, the players are locked in hotel rooms and try to decipher clues working together in order to escape and earn a large chunk of money to the pot. They fail, leading the two actual players to wonder if it was the mole's work.

Part the Eighth

The final episode reveals the mole and the winner. Montages reveal moley action, previously-unknown alliances and more.

The Third Betrayal

A secret game tests the moral integrity of the players and they are then separated into "dumb" and "smart" groups as brainteasers test whether the players in this edition are worthy of the "MENSA" tag the show has earned. One player's rule-breaking actions lead to a fine being levied on the entire group.

The Fourth Betrayal

Heather, Al, and Myra must escape from jail cells using equipment provided or face missing phone calls home. The others must complete a series of questions then unscramble a final puzzle using the letters of the answered questions, while others players tread water with weights over their necks.

The games began immediately with a challenge that required each of the players to dive waterfall and grab for money -- with the exception of a single player who was left to determine which should jump for real money, and which for fake. When only a small portion of the available money is put in the pot, suspicions immediately flare as to who could be the mole. That evening, some contestants are less than satisfied with their sleeping arrangements when a set of players is told they must sleep outside. One player thwarts the rules by staying awake all night. Later, the teams are sent to a beach to participate in a scavenger-hunt style game. Though they fare somewhat better, winning a majority of the available money, evidence of possible sabotage leads some to wonder if the mole is already at work.

The players later head to a bridge over the Mendoza River where they are told not only to bungee jump but also to attempt to hit a target.
