Fans have been enjoying Netflix’s new competition series, The Mole, and they are loving Avori Henderson and Pranav Patel’s partnership. On the show, twelve contestants need to decide which of their fellow cast members they can really trust. As they make their way through high-adrenaline challenges, the players work together to earn money for their prize pot. However, one of them is “the mole.” That person is working to sabotage the competitions, so there is less prize money. At the end of each challenge, players must complete a quiz about who they believe the mole is. The player with the lowest quiz score is eliminated, until there is only one person standing, and the saboteur has been revealed. A reboot of the beloved ABC series from 2001, Netflix’s update has fans buzzing. They want to identify the mole, as they wait impatiently for the final two episodes of the season.
Viewers have been interested in Avori, a professional XSET gamer, since the start of the series. However, her partnership with Pranav, a digital content creator from New York, developed as the series progressed, and really surprised fans. While contestants do need to trust one another within the game, The Mole is a show that typically does not push for alliances between its players. Seeing Avori and Pranav form a partnership has been exciting for viewers, as they are both highly intelligent players who understand the game. It is unclear who the mole is at this stage in the competition, but it is clear that Avori and Pranav are both smart enough to play that role.
Avori & Pranav Trust Each Other (But Not Too Much)
Within the structure of The Mole, which is similar to Survivor or The Amazing Race, players are required to observe each other. Every few days, they must try to deduce who the mole is. Typically, players are left to their own devices, so they gather information, and base their guesses on their perceptions. Avori and Pranav have chosen to work together within the game, and this requires a level of trust that fans enjoy seeing, in a competition where trust is traded like currency.
Pranav & Avori Are Both Strong Players
As a gamer, Avori has obvious strengths as a player. She is quick, calculating, and strategic in her gameplay. Her fitness and mental agility can work to her advantage, but sometimes these traits don’t help her. Pranav has a similar skill set, although he seems to be more of an analytical thinker. What she lacks in terms of physical strength, Pranav makes up for with his own. Overall, they both have a lot of abilities that they can use to get ahead on the show.
Avori Showed True Emotion When Pranav Was Eliminated
The Mole has a format that features twists, and the series delivered an upsetting surprise in episode 6, when Pranav was unexpectedly eliminated after the quiz was taken. Having the lowest results, his elimination was quick, and shocked his fellow contestants. Avori, whom the group knew was incredibly close to Pranav, was visibly upset. However, she tried to rein her emotions in. As tears rolled down her cheeks, she was unable to stay calm, showing her fellow players and viewers just how much her alliance with Pranav meant to her.
The Mole streams on Netflix, with new episodes dropping Fridays.
