Guest blogger John-John Williams IV reports:

The show that features treachery at its finest is back.

But will it be as good without former host Anderson Cooper? We’ll find out tonight at 10 when the new season of The Mole kicks off.

For those of you unfamiliar with the show, it works like this: A group of contestants completes a series of challenges similar to those on The Amazing Race. The one catch is that one of the contestants has been hired by the show’s producers to sabotage the rest of the competitors. A the end of each episode, the competitors vote on a series of questions linked to the identity of the Mole. The contestant with the lowest score on the quiz is eliminated. (Got all that?)

Check out the contestants here.

I’ll fill you in later on what happens.
