How does The Mob work? The Don, the jobs and the whackings, explained
Hulu's celebrity villa game hands one player the power each episode. Here is the rulebook
Hulu's celebrity villa game The Mob delivered another change of power in episodes 5 and 6, and the way that power moves is the whole show, so here is how it works.
What is The Mob?
Us Weekly describes it as a group of celebrity contestants sent to an Italian villa, where they compete for $100,000 and other prizes. Parker Posey hosts, the cast mixes scripted and reality stars, and the show airs Mondays on Hulu.
How does the power work?
Each episode the contestants take on jobs inspired by mob movies to win cash and power, according to Us Weekly. After the challenge, one contestant is chosen as the Don. The Don holds the power over the money and decides who gets whacked.
We covered the first Don's reign when Joe Gorga took the job, and the seat has moved since.
What happened this week?
Spoiler · episode 6. Tap to show
Harry Jowsey took over as Don with the majority vote of the Family, Taste of Reality reports, and used it to whack Joe Gorga and Romeo Miller. Us Weekly notes Joe had saved Harry from a similar fate earlier in the season. Joe told Us: "I don't hold a grudge because I know what he was trying to do. He's just jealous." Harry's answer: "these guys are the biggest threats in the game. So I had to do what I had to do."
Who is next?
Nobody outside the villa knows yet, and Hulu has not said how many contestants remain in the game. The next Don decides.
