Someone like Harry deliberately sabotaging a challenge would stick out like a sore thumb. It’s great that The Mole has a format point that works for them - that doesn’t mean every other show has to adopt it.
That is absolutely fair enough - and is probably a result of me itching for a bit more gameplay or something like The Mole UK to come back along.
I thought it might be an interesting element to introduce - they’re wanting a steal aspect I suppose (i.e. Harry being offered £7K) but I think this game is a bit too nice for that and the last two series when a player has been offered money to take home (and honestly the amounts offered have been a bit meh) the result is always the player going “No thanks I’m part of a team ”.
I just crave something a smidge more exciting game wise - the format is great but as someone that’s used to gameplay formats like these it’s a little paint by numbers I suppose. I do think it’s a great show to introduce the UK public to more gameplay oriented formats though.
