When The Mole was resurrected in the spring of 2021, Netflix and Eureka Productions used a working title, The Insider, during the casting process. Greg:“I was actually the only person who auditioned through a flyer. Everybody else was recruited—either through social media or a mutual friend. I had been laid off from my job, and was doing freelance ...
Greg: “I definitely knew what The Mole was. And seeing The Insider flyer, you could do a quick Google search and realize that it was The Mole. I was taking it at face value, and I didn’t know that the show would be called The Moleuntil I was in Australia. Because I didn’t get the final word that I was cast until two or three weeks before the flight...
Greg:“My intuition was kind of split in two: I had game intuition, and then I had TV intuition. And sometimes they were at odds, and if they were ever at odds, I went with TV versus game—maybe to my demise. But I had a few different strategies going in. The first is to just be myself 100 percent of the time. It’s very mentally taxing to be question...
Greg: “I think in order for unscripted reality TV to work, you have to open up your throat chakra, so you have to communicate everything that you’re thinking. So, for example, when I was looking at the dossiers, people could say, Oh, he’s just doing all of this for TV.I mean, yes, but that’s also intertwined with my brain just spewing out everythin...
Greg: “If I was zeroing in on exactly what I thought I needed, it would have been helpful. I wanted to see for sure if Joi actually was a pilot, and when I looked in the dossier, I was like, oh, there’s pictures of her at work, she is a pilot. You could see where people went to college. One thing that I thought that was weird that in the dossier it...
Until Kesi took ice cubes full of money and hurled them into the snowduring the penultimate mission, Avori dropping an oxygen tank on the beach may have been one of the most overt moments of sabotage during a test that we saw. Avori:“I wasn’t completely trying to sabotage the mission. I just was like, let me just do something quirky to make people ...
Greg:“I think there’s a popular idea that there’s a right way to do the quizzes, where you should split your votes early on based on probability and statistics, and then eventually go all in on [one person]. I wanted to explore a strategy that was the opposite of that. So right away, I was going all in on every single quiz, and before each quiz, an...
Greg: “I actually had a dream about somebody the first night in the jungle, and in my dream, I was at a dinner party and I got kicked out of this dinner party because I made a big scene, because somebody—a woman—was dressed wearing a bandeau outfit. I didn’t know who this was out about at the time, and I took that dream to mean that I shouldn’t mak...
Greg:“I single handedly put [$10,000] in the pot across two different missions that you didn’t get to see. That would have been great because I’m proud of the fact that I’m smart, athletic, agile, and can get it done. I would have loved for the audience to see that.” Avori: “I’m super quirky and goofy. I am very calculated; I’m very analytical, exa...
Avori: “I think one of the hardest things for me is when the first five episodes—and even up to the first eight episodes—dropped, there were so many articles, threads on social media, that were like: We’re predicting Avori as the winner. I was, obviously, happy to see that people had so much faith in me. But then I think about it, and I really wish...
