Line 50:
The program's fourth season, in 2003, was set on the Pacific island nation of [[New Caledonia]] and entitled ''The Mole: in Paradise''. In an attempt to steer any suspicion from her the mole, Petrina, was eliminated in one episode but returned on the next episode after accepting an offer from the host to buy her way back into the game. While this worked for a short time it was not as successful as had been hoped with some of the other contestants even more convinced that she was the mole.
Poor ratings resulted in there being no 2004 season but in July 2005 ''The Mole'' returned to Australian TV for its fifth season, subtitled as ''The Amazing Game''. [[Tom Williams (television)|Tom Williams]] (winner of the Australian edition of ''[[Dancing with the Stars (Australia)|Dancing with the Stars]]'') was chosen to take over as host from Bowler, as he was not available for the project due to family commitments. This was met with mixed reaction from fans. This season also introduced a new concept to the show - live eliminations. The contestants spent the weekend in New Zealand working on various challenges, and then their actions were broadcast on TV the following Thursday night, with a live elimination following directly after.
