Season 1 winner William Richardson reflected on his Netflix's 'The Mole' appearance. He shared a series of photos from the show with his co-players and wrote, "Ask me.. If I could do it all over again would I change a thing?"

William added, "Yes. I'd make sure I realized and appreciated that every moment of this was a gift. Every person made it what it was." Netflix show star also revealed that his only regret was that the viewers get to see only "5% of what we went through together."

He elaborated, "The moments that will live with me forever will never be seen on a television screen."

William Richardson reflects on identifying Kesi Neblett as 'The Mole'

Netflix's 'The Mole' star William Richardson claimed that he suspected Kesi Neblett for being undercover since the beginning of the show. He shared in a Netflix interview, "I remember one of the first questions I answered on the quiz was [the Mole’s birthday], and [I picked her]. It always stuck with me in a weird way."

William further revealed that he was confirmed about 'The Mole' identity during the mountain elimination where Casey went home. He explained, "The giveaway to me was that [I thought] they were going to pick somebody smart, who can have a wealth of knowledge in all aspects."

He elaborated, "Kesi can try [to hide her intelligence] all she wants, but have a conversation with her and you’re like, 'Oh my God, she's brilliant. You're so the Mole.'"
