i am watching the australian version of the mole. though lacking anderson cooper, it is almost as good as the original abc edition, one of the top contenders, i think, for a dead before its time award. it appeals to me mostly because of my soft spot for classic detective fiction/locked-room mysteries, plus it is a much purer game in terms of interpersonal dynamics than, say, survivor (which is probably rigged from start to finish). the greatest pity is that editing 21 days down to 8 hours does not even begin to capture the intricacies of suspicion and strategy that i'm sure must run frighteningly deep as the game progresses.

Fima - Amos Oz
(by the bye, von, i went to read simmel's stranger after you mentioned it to me. it's marvelous.)
