I have heard that this show is coming back. Did anyone else ever watch this? Has anyone else heard anything?
I liked this show.

ABC recently announced the order of 10 new episodes of “The Mole” to air over the summer of 2008. Casting has already begun, and the show will revert to their regular non-celebrity version, the first since “The Mole 2: The Next Betrayal”, which premiered in 2002.
A new host has not been named, and former hosts Anderson Cooper and Ahmad Rashad have not been asked to return.
According to ABC Entertainment alternative series senior VP John Saade, the show was scheduled to return before the writer’s strike had begun. |

Casting and pre-production have begun on the show, which will likely start shooting later this spring. ABC is looking to run "The Mole" this summer.
I watched the show and loved it!!! Loved the season D-Rod was on. Can't wait for summer.

I found this from Wikipedia:
| Quote: | The Mole is a reality television game show. Mensa hailed it as "the smartest show on television."[citation needed] The show was originally created in 1999 by Woestijnvis and broadcast on VRT in Flanders, Belgium, and won the Golden Rose of Montreux in 2000. It was invented by Michiel Devlieger, Bart de Pauw, Tom Lenaerts and others. The format was later licensed in 40 countries.
Players in The Mole must work together to complete various physical and mental challenges to build up a significant cash prize for the winner. One of them, however, is "the Mole," a double agent hired by the producers to sabotage the efforts of the group. The Mole must be careful to avoid drawing suspicion. Using journals, players must track vast amounts of minutiae about the person(s) they suspect of being the Mole, such as seating positions, clothing colors, minor discussion topics, and so on. The quiz at the end of each episode tests players' knowledge of the Mole, and determines by lowest score (or slowest time, in the event of a tie) who is eliminated from the game. |
It was interesting it claimed Mensa hailed it as "the smartest show on television."

I really loved this show but it won't be the same without the hunky Anderson Cooper. Wah!

Loved this show, as soon as I read the posts of it coming back I e-mailed my sister to let her know it is coming back this summer.
Thanks for "The Mole" information. (Yes Frannie, Anderson Cooper was the best host.) Hope he comes back to host.

I never watched The Mole, but one of the guys at work just raved about it. Don't let me forget! I'd like to catch it this time around. I think it sounds interesting, and I like shows that make you think.

I loved Anderson Cooper as the host of The Mole. They are going to have a hard time replacing him.
