As in previous editions of the series, each of the eight celebrities will try to figure out who among them is The Mole, a person planted by the producers to sabotage their efforts to win money. The celebrities will use all their guile to uncover clues that could lead the winner to a pot of up to $250,000, which the winner gets to keep. In Celebrity Mole Hawaii, the winner, comedienne Kathy Griffin, took home $233,000.
"We learned from Celebrity Mole Hawaii that performers play this game very, very well because their acting abilities raise their level of deception," said Scott A. Stone, executive producer of the series .
Celebrity Mole Yucatan is produced by Stone Stanley Entertainment. David G. Stanley, Scott A. Stone and Clay Newbill are executive producers.
