a genuine suggestion
If you really do not like that regular players can drain the pot and not be penalized for it or that the mole themselves doesn't "win" anything, I genuinely suggest watching The Traitors. I think both series have their points where they're stronger or weaker than the other, but The Traitors definitely feels like The Mole's campier cousin. And coming from The Mole, I did like how The Traitors encouraged the traitors doing well in the competitions.
Juuust a suggestion.
