Season chronology

The 17th season of the Dutch TV series Wie is de Mol? ("Who is the Mole?") aired in the winter of 2017. Art Rooijakkers returned to host the season. The season took place in the state of Oregon in the United States. The season premiered on January 7, 2017. The Live Finale aired on March 11, 2017 where Sanne Wallis de Vries was declared the winner of the season, earning a grand total of €24,320.-. Wallis de Vries had successfully unmasked Thomas Cammaert as the Mole of 2017, outwitting her runner-up Jochem van Gelder.

Format

Followed the same format as its Belgian predecessor, this was the first season which had ten Dutch celebrities travel to Oregon, United States to complete Assignments to earn money for the group pot. However, one of the ten is the titular Mole (de Mol), the one designated to sabotage the assignments and cause the group to earn the least amount of money for the winner's pot as possible. Every few days, players would take a 20-question multiple choice test about the identity of the Mole. Once the test is complete, the candidates await their results in an Execution ceremony. The candidate with the worst score is executed from the game, while in the event of the tie the candidate who completed their test the slowest is executed. The season plays out until there are three remaining candidates, where they must complete a final test (consisting of 40 questions). The candidate with the highest score, or had completed their test the fastest in a tie, is declared the winner and receives the group's pot.[1]

Notes

The four candidates who received exemptions during the first assignment were approached by Art individually, while watched without their knowing by the remaining 6 in a private theater. If all four candidates handed in their exemptions, the entire group receives a group exemption. The remaining six could take one of the four exemptions out of the game as well. Only Vincent handed in his exemption, but the six had decided to take his exemption away from him, thus no group exemption.
In the event of a tie, the candidate with the lowest score and the slowest time to complete their test is executed from the game. This test had a tie.
During an assignment, Imamuelle won the ability to select two other candidates to skip their results along with her for this execution. She chose Jochem, and Diederik to skip their results, leaving only Sanne, and Thomas to see their screen.
The candidates wrote the test in Episode 8, but the results were only shown in episode 9.
