Small Talk: Compare Notes

[Meredith Quill]

The Small Talk topic is for:

• Introductions
• Off-topic chatter
• Having virtual tea with forum buddies

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

• Character topics
• Spoiler topics
• Comparison topics
• Speculation topics
• In the Media topics
• Favourite X topics
• ...you get the idea

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

If you'd like to watch a show somewhat similar to The Mole, I recommend Traitors on Peacock (and I guess it's also airing on Bravo.)  There are 20 some contestants, 3 of which are traitors.  Like The Mole, they compete for money but everyone works together so there's no sabotage. 

The traitors get to vote someone out every night.  And the whole group votes a person out they think is a traitor every day.  If the faithful get all the traitors out, then they split the prize pot.  If a traitor is left, they get the money.

The UK version of Traitors is AMAZING! I haven't watched the US version yet.

One thing I missed from Traitors in The Mole was not really getting to know much about the contestants - and the drama of voting people out. I thought it was odd that on The Mole they were asked questions about the mole, like do they have pets, but I never hear the contestants talking about that sort of thing. I think it would have made it more interesting to get to know the players a bit more. Plus someone could make up all kinds of shit about themselves so others get questions wrong on the quiz.
