After reading the “Short Lived TV Shows” thread, I started to look around the net about my favoirite reality show, The Mole. As any fan of the show knows, it was taken off the air right during the middle of the second season. After a bit of looking, I came across a site that has a petition that you can sign to help bring back the show. Now, I don’t have any real degree of faith in this site, but at this point I’m desperate to find out who the Mole is in the second season. If you are a fan, give it a shot and sign. What can it hurt? Mods, if you have any probem with the link I am about to provide, please feel free to remove it.

I loved the first season of the Mole. The second season had a bit too much Survivor-style behind-the-scenes-bitching-between-contestants for my taste, and not enough games. Sure, a lot of the games on the first Mole were silly (laundry challenge, anyone?) but a lot of them were totally cool. Plus I had a thing for Jim. 😉 (Totally my type.) As far as I know, it will be back in the summer, and re-edited to get rid of a lot of the interpersonal crap and show more of the games. I don’t know if they’re going to repeat the first three episodes or just recap them, but in any case… Problem is, if they put it up against one of the three weekly nights of Big Brother 3… 😉 - s.e. ---

It really stinks that whoever won the second mole won’t get the money unless they show the rest of the series. I did like the first one better. The whole “we threw your personal belongings into the big bonfire. Psych! No we didn’t” stunt in the second one seemed lame. ---

I [heard](http://www.nydailynews.com/2002-04-15/New_York_Now/Television/a-147600.asp) it’s coming back this summer. ---
