Unlike most game shows, I think the "celebrity" edition of The Mole is something that can be better that the civilian edition. After all, it is a game of devious deception on the part of the "mole" player in the game, something that a professional actor/actress should be ideally suited for.
Still, though I have been enjoying this current run of the show, I have to agree with a comment that appeared in USA Today during the Celebrity Mole - Hawaii run: "Forget who's the Mole -- who's the celebrity?"

(Too bad the fallout from the first season of Survivor left me disinclined to watch the first Mole series -- I did see the second one, and thought it was quite good.)
