“It was God’s divine plan”- The Mole star Jennifer reveals how she got on the show

The Mole season 2 concluded its run on July 12 this year, and the aftermath has fans contemplating how The Mole, Sean, played his way through the game. Viewers are also still reminiscent of the contestants who got eliminated one after the other after failing the quiz that had them guess the mole.

Jennifer was among the first contestants to get eliminated from the season, at a time when it is hard to gauge people's strategies, let alone guess the mole. She gave it her all in the intruder challenge but was sent home the same night because none of the prospects she guessed to be The Mole were correct.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Jennifer answered questions about her run on the show, who she was rooting for, and her reaction to Sean being The Mole.

She also talked about how a Program Analyst like herself got onto a reality show.

She said while watching the first season of the show, she thought it was the "most amazing show" and asked her cousin to watch it because she thought her cousin would be able to tell who The Mole was. Her cousin instead asked her to be on the show.

When Jennifer googled how one could get on the show, she saw that they were casting. Before applying, she thought she wouldn't be able to go because the nature of her job wouldn't permit her to take it up.

However, after confirming with her supervisors, she applied for it. She thought she wouldn't get selected, yet she did. Talking about this, Jennifer said:

"I will admit like the first video I sent, I'm like, 'this is going to be a silly joke, I'm bored, let me just apply, I'll never get through, everyone wants to be on the show' and it was God's divine plan, clearly for me to be on the show".

The Mole season 2 star Jennifer says the show "should have an All-Star season"

Q. When Sean was revealed as the Mole what was your reaction? Did you expect it?

I was shocked....I just think I remember when we were taking the eliminations after we did the quiz, we were kind of, like, waiting for, you know, the answers and stuff. And I remember seeing Sean and he was, like, shaking.

No one was around him, he was, like, kind of apart from me, so I'm like "he's not doing this for show. No one can see him, he doesn't know I can see him".

And I'm just like, God, like, he's good. He was doing all of that and shaking and he looked like he was going to cry, honestly. I remember doing an interview after I got eliminated, and I was like, "I want Sean to win, like, I feel so bad". And then God damn he had me fooled for sure.

It was really the shaking that for me solidified that he wasn't the mole only because I'm like, "there's no way he knows I'm looking at him because of where he was sitting". And I'm like, "You did all that as a joke?" The man needs to be on the Emmys for his performance honestly.

Q. Who were you rooting for while at it? After you got eliminated who was that one contestant you wanted to win?

Oh my God, I feel like I have four. I mean, obviously, like, Sean was one of them because he just looked so stressed. I know he's a stay-at-home dad, you know, I don't have any kids or anything, I'm like, "the money would go great for him and his family".

Then I'm like, "Tony and Hannah are my allies". Then there's Muna, and I'm like, "She's a black woman," like, I was like, "we don't have much representation". So I'm just like, "one of those needs to take it home".

You know, I liked the entire cast so anyone would be worthy of the money... but although all four of those were there, I feel like Sean because I'm just like, "the money would be so amazing for him and for his family. I don't know, he just seemed so stressed out.

Anybody that stressed out or acting that stressed out, like, really needs it, way more than me".

Q. Are you open to taking up more shows or doing more TV?

I would, I definitely would. The cameras didn't bother me, like, I thought it would. I thought it was gonna, like, really freak me to just have cameras following you, not following you, but recording every single thing that you do.

But the Netflix, the cast, the producers, everybody was so warm, so welcoming. All the staff always made sure that we were okay; made sure that even though the heat was crazy, you know, made sure that we were comfortable and stuff.

So I definitely think I would do another show. I just wouldn't do anything dating wise. I love watching dating shows, I just don't ever find myself going on that. Competition shows... would be amazing. I also think, The Mole should have, like, an All-Star season, where fans can vote. I will do it right this time, no sympathy, no mercy, no friends.

Q. Would you wanna be The Mole though?

I would love to be The Mole. I think I'd be such a good mole. Everything I do is so dramatic in general. I would definitely throw people off. I lie very well, like, in a funny capacity. I think I will be a phenomenal mole. It's the best job in the whole world honestly.
