Celebrity Mole: Yucatán (Season 4) is the American version of The Mole. It aired on ABC from January 7 to February 18, 2004 and had seven episodes. The season was filmed in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, mainly at the Occidental Grand Flamenco Xcaret Resort, in fall 2003. Ahmad Rashad hosted the show, and eight celebrities competed in a series of money-earning missions while one player secretly acted as the saboteur, the Mole.

The eight contestants included Angie Everhart as the Mole and Dennis Rodman as the eventual winner, with Mark Curry as the runner-up. Stephen and Corbin also returned for a second chance but were eliminated early. Throughout the season Angie sabotaged many challenges, and she managed to prevent about $195,000 from being added to the group pot. Dennis won the grand prize of $222,000.

In the final, the three finalists faced locked doors with keys. Dennis’s key opened the door revealing him as the winner; he then handed a key to the Mole’s door, revealing Angie. Mark Curry finished as the runner-up. It was later revealed that Dennis would have been eliminated in Episode 5 if not for an exemption Tracey granted during the Graduate game.

This season had a theme centered on Angie’s favorite number, 7, with clues about the Mole scattered throughout the episodes. After this season, ABC did not renew The Mole, and the show briefly went on hiatus before returning a few years later with another season. Dennis Rodman answered 17 of 20 final quiz questions to win, and the season is remembered for Angie’s ruthless sabotages and the final reveal of the Mole.
