Azah, Derek F., Kyland, Hannah, Tiffany, and Xavier are Big Brother 23’s final six, and that means Big Brother will have a Black winner for the first time ever. That’s worth celebrating.

The Mole 2: The Next Betrayal’s winner and mole were revealed in a much more dramatic fashion than season one, and the reunion dived much deeper into strategy—and revealed some significantly better clues.

For their final two tests, The Mole 2’s final three—Bill, Dorothy, and Heather—play a game Kathryn Price called a “hideous game,” and then take a hideous trek across treacherous landscapes before taking their final quiz.

In an iconic Mole challenge, the final four players enter Anderson Cooper’s Funhouse, where one of them has to stay all night in a room with “Tiny Bubbles” playing.

On The Mole 2, episode 10, Dorothy and Heather form a coalition, and one of The Mole’s best tests ever takes place in a small Italian town and in its tower, which was destroyed in the 2009 earthquake.

Anderson Cooper drinks wine with Al and Heather—and shows off his wine-pouring skills while the other players attempt a test that’s really just a trick question.

The Mole 2: The Next Betrayal’s loved-ones episode is significantly different than season ones, as the loved ones are used as rewards for two separate tests. Otherwise, though, the game is mostly on hold.
