The Mole
"10 players. 1 saboteur. Who is the mole?"
Overview
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 Fourth Betrayal
The players have their memory tested in a game in which they try to crack a safe. The players receive a secret telegram that contains a vital, secret and unpicked-up-on clue. 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 Fifth Betrayal

The Ninth Betrayal
While one set of players participates in a wine-drinking game, another group is busy trying to assemble a car. Later, the players are led to a small room for a surprise late-night tetherball game.

The Tenth Betrayal
A shopping spree game features the women shopping for items and the men trying to make a profit off them in a market. Later, the players play a game called Evader. This game offers some valuable money for the pot, but also exemptions to a couple of lucky players.

A special delivery is brought by Kathryn Price, the original Mole. The contestants play a game called High Card, in order to see who has to sleep in Anderson's Funhouse.
The Twelfth Betrayal
The final three players play “Three Questions” to find each other and earn money. In the next game, they race to be the first to find the mole’s dossier by searching for a hidden GPS that will direct them to the final location. After the final quiz, the execution determines the final two.
The Last Betrayal
The players of The Mole II: The Next Betrayal are reunited to take their guesses at who won the game and who is the mole. The answers to burning questions are revealed.
