- Key
- The candidate saw a Green Screen, in the order stated, and proceeded to the next episode.
- The candidate did not see a Green Screen before the Executed player saw their Red Screen. Thus they proceeded to the next episode.
- The candidate received an Exemption to automatically proceed to the next episode.
- The candidate was Executed from the game and sent home.
For candidates who used Jokers on a quiz, the amount are presented in parentheses.
- Notes
- ^ In episode 1, there was no Execution as no Mole had yet been selected, and therefore the results of the quiz were disregarded.

- Karakteristiek
The group attend a Buddhist blessing ceremony where each candidate is given a letter with general advice for the game, which also states that host Rik van de Westelaken will later inform them of whether or not they "have the chance" to earn a Joker.
Rik then whispers to each candidate whether or not they have the chance to win a Joker. The group then have 15 minutes to select five candidates they believe were told that they had the chance to earn a Joker. For each correct candidate selected, they would lose their chance at a Joker. However, it is mentioned that €1,000 is lost from the pot for each candidate nominated who was told they did not have the chance to earn a Joker.
The group selected Bridget, Nora, Ray, Sam and Teun. It was then revealed that all ten candidates were told that they had the chance to earn a Joker, and as a result, no money was deducted from the pot.
Afterwards, candidates enter a temple one at a time where they must distribute 12 character attributes to the candidate they believe they best match with. Upon exiting the temple, candidates take a surprise Execution test containing only one question: "Who is the Mole?".
At the Execution ceremony, it is revealed that no Mole had yet been selected as part of a twist, and therefore no one was Executed from the game. Additionally, the group had chosen the Mole themselves based certain events leading up to this point. The newly-selected Mole is informed of their new role later in the evening.
- Feestje voor de Mol
The group split themselves into five pairs. Each pair enters a tuk tuk to be driven to two different locations around Phnom Penh to gather items for a party such as musicians, cake and balloons. At each location, pairs must complete a challenge in order to receive an item for the party, then bring it undamaged to a boat along the Mekong River. For each item properly delivered to the boat within the time limit, €300 is added to the pot.
Three items were successfully delivered within the time-limit, meaning €900 was earned for the pot.
