No Talpa, how does it work

La mole is a reality show in which VIPs, so-called “suspects” or under investigation, participate. The goal of the game is to find and unmask the saboteur mole who is hiding among the rivals.

The task is entrusted to both the public and the accused themselves. The audience, through television, determines the order of the suspects: the person with the most votes must face a disqualification test or questioning. The group instead makes its own nominations.

In the elimination test, suspects are subjected to 10 questions about the identity and actions of the mole: whoever answers correctly the least number of questions must leave the game.
