Not the winner I expected. The mole actions were somewhat possible to piece together when you got on the right track. Otherwise nice feelgood TV.
I don't know if the mole is to blame or the candidates that he was the most suspected player.
Spoiler:
Yeah mole was obvious after my traditional 'hardheaded 100% mole guess' was gone. Oddly enough a lot of the clue theories were right. Winner became slightly obvious the last real episode when it was super positive focused for Tim.

I would like to note that Tim was wearing TaekeTaeke's jacket at the end so that counts no you shut up.

I have a hard time believing not one person out of the entire group saw any of those first envelopes.
The boat challenge collecting the wooden tokens with the correct symbols. Klaas was the only one who actually got out of the boat and got the money out of the box. There is a theory that there could have actually been €2,000 in the box, but he only took out €1,000. I wonder if that was true?![/list]
well done here btw

Spoiler: I dont think we need any more spoilers but
The reveal that Klaas took money from the rock climbing challenge, though.
I didn't come up with it... I think it was mentioned on moltalk or one of the fansites. CES thinks he might have thought it himself. Anyway, the idea of Annemieke and Tim watching that episode at home afterwards, and realising the possibility, is perhaps the best bit.
Mainly I thought the clip that peg posted at the top of this page was the (hilarious) clincher!
There were a bunch of fan theories that were posted throughout the series, most of which were true: http://www.widm.nl/hints.html
That page did previously have theories about alternate moles, but they seem to have gotten rid of all the other ones now, which is a shame. It was interesting to see because there were a lot more about Klaas, which made it a bit of a shame and less of a surprise when it really was him.
I'm looking forward to next year!

Klaas has afterwards stated that he was a bit annoyed by the hint of episode 2. People caught onto that and it very soon made him "obvious" to the more serious watchers. It was possibly a bit too easy. And I'm tempted to agree with him, looking back at his actions throughout this episode, he did do a seemingly ok job of hiding himself initially. It was a bit of a disappointing season to me because idk, I"m not supposed to actually find the mole and agree with the majority Might be more on the producers than the mole here, some of the other moles that this happened to were actually quite bad.

Enjoyed 2017 episode 1...
Spoiler:
The binoculars and bridge challenge was a lot of fun to watch. I enjoyed Roos' attempt to lie to the others about getting the exemptions, and then the twist in the cinema.
I found it annoying when Vincent didn't use his exemption in the end, and yet Roos, Thomas and Jeroen all used theirs because they thought Vincent wasn't gonna back down. Seemed like if Vincent had made it clearer that he had changed his mind (perhaps the issue was, he didn't make his mind up soon enough) then he could have persuaded the others to go with the group exemption and he wouldn't have been sent home. Roos and Thomas seemed open to doing the group exemption anyway, and I suspect they could have pressured Jeroen into it.
Shame that there doesn't seem to be a good quality English sub available yet - if anyone has one, please share as I know a few people who want to watch! There is a version on youtube and dailymotion but it's very low quality - although the subber says she's working on improving it for next time.

Hilarious episode. I enjoyed the many grey fog shots and rodeo/country music which is all very Portland.
Also mole guess is alive and well, nice to make it through episode 1 with mole intact this time around lulz

Whose your pick, Zito?
Mine is...
Spoiler:
Jochem, for his proposal about the division of labour over the envelopes. He suggested that one group go for the £1,000 and £750, whilst the other go for the ?, £250 and £500. Seems like it would have made much more sense to split the £1000 and £750 between the two groups, and have those be the priority; the £250 and £500 could be left if necessary.
There was a lot of speculation on Moltalk about whether Immanuelle deliberately walked past the envelope because she was the mole, and whether her excitement on finding it was faked, but I think it was totally genuine. Also, Diederik looked pretty nervous during the results of the test, and I think that seemed genuine too. I'm going to be more thorough in my mole guessing this year... so I'm currently at:
Mole: Jochem
Not mole: Imanuelle, Diederik
Unknown: Jeroen, Sanne, Sigrid, Yvonne, Roos, Thomas
Also I think this is meaningless but funny, the t-shirt Diederik was wearing:
Might be more on the producers than the mole here, some of the other moles that this happened to were actually quite bad.
