Netflix fans blast The Mole players for ‘wasting money for no reason’ and being ‘reckless’ on season two of show
FANS of Netflix's The Mole have expressed their true feelings about the series and slammed the players for wasting money.
The reality TV show premiered its second season on Friday and has already created quite a buzz on social media.
During the June 28 episode, contestants were tasked with competing in various challenges for cash prizes and narrowing down who they thought the mole of the group was.
Only one player could win the prize money, putting an interesting spin on the game show.
Despite it only being Day 1, some believed they had already spotted the mole sabotaging their chances of winning.
Their suspicions rose when player Muna went against the group ahead of a quiz challenge.

The players had to choose what they would receive if they won - either a cash prize or an advantage on the first quiz question.
SUSPICIOUS MOVE
When players Tony and Deanna opted for the cash, Muna followed suit; however, she changed her vote when relaying her choice to host Ari Shapiro.
This raised eyebrows that Muna could be the mole, although it's too early to tell if that's the case.
Fans loved the show's unique premise but called out the players for seemingly throwing money away for the game.

"I'm loving this season cause everyone is just wasting money for no reason at all so at this point anyone (but Q) could be the mole," one person wrote on X.
"There is no teamwork, alliances or real plan just people throwing challenges and losing money for exemption," another complained.
"This group is SO good at these challenges to add money, but as soon as they’re presented with an opportunity to spend it they do so expeditiously," said a third.
"THEY ARE SO MESSY WITH THE MONEY like betting all of it is for an exemption," noted a fourth.
"This cast is so scared to play the game that they've let the pot go to zero multiple times," a fifth remarked.
"I’m actually so glad they lost all the money. They were being so reckless, to the point the mole didn’t even have to do anything.
