Every year Siem gains a lot of information from the first test and execution in his hunt for the Mol. He also mentions that he always remembers that the program has been edited. “The makers want to make us believe something.” By this Siem means that they like to mislead viewers.
As an example he cites the first test and execution of last year, in which Anita Witzier dropped out. While taking the test, Anita says she suspects Rob, who later turned out to be De Mol. And yet Anita had to go home. How is that possible? According to Siem it all has to do with editing. “Probably Anita said Rob’s name another time and they stuck it underneath.”

Siem then looked at whether this trick is used more often by the makers of Who is the mole?. As it turns out, in the past eight editions, De Mol was either not suspected in the first episode, or suspected by the first dropout. With that he claims that the makers want to divert attention from De Mol on purpose.
This year the first dropout is Tina. We do not hear her say who she suspects, but we do get to see a question that she fills in, namely: ‘Opposite which former Mol did the Mol stand during the assignment’ Behind your back? ‘. There Tina gives ‘Kim’ as an answer, which means that she is on Nikkie or Nadja. “Do the makers want us to believe that Nikkie or Nadja are not de Mol?” Siem wonders. Since Siem knows what to do, it is a theory to be taken seriously.
Would you like to hear his entire theory again quietly? The video is below.
