QUICK TAKE

RECAP OF FIRST FIVE EPISODES OF "THE MOLE," PLUS NEW MATERIAL WILL AIR AS ONE-HOUR SPECIAL, MONDAY, JULY 14 ON ABC

Regularly Scheduled Episode Follows

A recap of the first five episodes, plus never-before-seen footage will air as a one-hour special, "The Mole: Take Another Look," MONDAY, JULY 14 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), followed by "Episode 506" (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. Jon Kelley ("Extra," "The National Sports Report," "Baseball Today") is host of the show. Note: "The Mole" will be preempted on Monday, July 7.

Here are highlights of the first five episodes:

"Episode 501," Premiere: 12 players met for the first time in Los Angeles, Chile. Their first mission was jumping over the edge of a waterfall, facing their greatest fears, and one player was left stranded on a deserted beach to fend for himself/herself. Marcie Ciscel (Corona, CA) was Executed.

"Episode 502": The players faced a formidable team while playing Chile's most popular sport, soccer. And Bobby traveled in a wheelbarrow while searching for the town's missing pigs. Liz Cain (Whitefish, MT) was Executed.

"Episode 503": The players roamed through the streets of Santiago in their underwear, begging for clothes -- for Ali, Kristen and Victoria, their highlight was getting marriage proposals from whistling workers. And, big surprise, Paul picked a fight at the dinner table. Ali Sonoma (St. Louis, MO), who took a $30,000 bribe to leave the show, and Bobby O'Donnell (Philadelphia, PA) were Executed.

"Episode 504": The eight remaining players traveled to the majestic Andes, where they faced a treacherous trek up a mountain carrying bricks of gold. And a surprising twist pushed one of them to the brink. Victoria Garza (Bishop, TX) was Executed.

"Episode 505" (airs MONDAY, JUNE 30): The players must trust each other in order to be rescued from the freezing cold. And the most loved player becomes the most hated.

The seven remaining players are:

Alex (Haverford, PA)

Clay (Philadelphia, PA)

Craig (San Diego, CA)

Kristen (Santa Monica, CA)

Mark (Mukwonago, WI)

Nicole (Chicago, IL)

Paul (Yonkers, NY)

"The Mole" is broadcast with Spanish subtitles via secondary closed captioning. A TV parental guideline will be posted closer to airdate.
