Honesty is the best polity. But lying is even better on the Netflix series The Mole. Yes! And for someone like Pranav Patel who often “plays devil’s advocate against my own beliefs,” the show was his playground.
Keep reading this Pranav Patel Bio to learn more about him.
Pranav Patel On Netflix’s The Mole
The reboot of the ABC original, Netflix’s Mole series featured 12 players who were forced to lie and deceive others if they wanted to stay in the game. But unlike a few contestants who were new to the “lying” thing, Pranav was a self-proclaimed “very good liar” who believed speaking and acting with conviction was a great way to dissuade any nonbelievers in his lies.
And for this, many concluded that he was the mole.
His actions at every turn deliberately threw suspicion upon himself. For instance, he purposefully added money to the pot, something a mole would attempt to do.
For those who missed it, his team earned $2,500 in the first challenge and there was nothing suspicious throughout his squad’s jailbreak for mission #2 that got $14,000. But in the end, he didn’t even look into the dossiers with information on his fellow contestants in the hopes that he could cash in $10,000.
However, Pranav did make up for it in the very next round by earning $7,000 in total.
In the very episode, Sandy Ronquillo who was skeptical of him following the bank heist mission then got eliminated. Thus clearing any doubts about him being the mole.
According to Pranav, his strategy was the show was to focus on developing skills that could help him understand players’ motives and actions in real-time so that he could be appropriately reactive. But he knew four eyes were better than two. Given that there was a lot of information to take in, he wanted to ally with a trustworthy person or two.
He believed he could win the show because of his “competitiveness, ability to stay calm in pressure situations, and his ability to stay neutral and maintain beneficial relationships with all players.”
