Almost 1/4 of a million smackers went to comedian Kathy Griffin, formerly of "Suddenly Susan" fame. You probably know her as the crazy red headed lady who talks in a loud, whiny voice. While ABC's "Are you hot?" premieres tonight, Frederique doesn't need anyone to tell her she is hot. She spent 10 some odd years modeling for Victoria's Secret and was the first "immaculate" mole. Read more .... That is to say that up until the final quiz (when players have a 50/50 chance) not ONE person ever named her as the mole on the final question of their quiz. Not bad for a "dumb model" I'd say.

I love the Mole concept. The second season was a drag for reasons I won't get into right now. The revival changed the format by making Ahmad Rashad the host instead of the awesome Anderson Cooper (now with CNN) but he did an acceptable job. The players were cut down to 7 since they obviously got paid for their time as "celebrities". It came off as a booming success from my cult fan perspective.

My fiance laughed so hard at Kathy Griffin (who we both hated before CM) that I thought I might have to call 911. That gal needs her own show. Corbin Bernsen as "crazy hockey dad" (Kathy's line) was hysterical. Michael Boatman as the one everyone thought was the mole was great. Kim Coles is annoying, thank heavens she was voted off first.

Stephen Baldwin as the dummy, stud or joker, depending on what you think of him, really worked. The fact that he yelled at Ahmad (deleted scene showed in finale) shows how much of a wild card he was. The kid (don't make me look up his name right now, I'm tired) wound up as the runner-up because he made an alliance with Kathy. He was just window dressing.

I am NOT looking forward to the cast of idiots on Celebrity Survivor err... "I'm a Celebrity...get me out of here!". Do I need to see the jerk who hosted "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous"? Answer: No. Do I need to see Joan Rivers' annoying daughter Melissa? Answer: **** no. Celebrity Mole should have another season if they can put together another great cast. It was cool.

Are you hot? That's what a panel of "people you've heard of" (celebrity is a word that has been misused lately) will be deciding. I think ABC has mysteriously been bought out by Fox. The airing of this show confirms it. I'm done for now ....
