Episode #513 – De Mol België Sicily Episode 1 Recap

Get yourself a sudoku subscription for when people really bore you, as Best Friend of the Podcast Papá Orso Gilles de Coster invites another ten candidates to join him in some challenges, deception and ultimately famiglia, this time in Sicily! As always, one of them has a second motive – to sabotage and restrict the pot as much as possible, whilst avoiding the searching gaze of both their fellow players and the public, but this time someone has a second role – the Keeper of the Doublers! Each week, three guys who always check under their beds for any missing cats – Logan, Bindles & I – will be attempting to uncover the truth behind the lies and who will be squirting us with condiments, beginning with the first episode and elimination of Gillian!

A new season also means a new predictions pool for me to lose at! In our België one, Logan & I will each draft four candidates following this week’s episode. As I won last year’s Belgian pool, I get first draft. Our fan-favourite Switches also return and can – as always – be used until final five becomes final four. Whoever is left over will join the team who loses someone next week – in the event of a double execution, that will be the team who loses someone first next week.

The teams will be revealed on next week’s episode!
