The word is out. The new season of The mole, which will not be on television until next year, was recorded in Germany. Loyal viewers undoubtedly had their notebook at the ready when the generic van The smartest person Thursday rolled across the screen. Earlier in the day, Vier had already released a balloon: a photo of Alina Churikova in the studio appeared on social media, with: “We are extra vigilant tonight, because there is a mole in the studio.” Would there be a tip about the new season?

And then suddenly Gilles De Coster showed up in the round Open door. Just to ask a question. Not about the location of The mole to reveal, because that was not yet allowed, he said.

Also a very well thought-out choice in this strange corona year. Their successful handling of the pandemic made it the best host imaginable for our trip. Thanks to thorough preparation, good agreements and careful security measures, we were able to bring the recordings to a successful conclusion. And that was by no means self-evident. ”
The editors of The mole would the editors of The mole not be if they had left it at one hint. Also turned out to be hidden tips: jury member Jeroom who, when he spoke to Alina, held his hands to him like Chancellor Angela Merkel.
