## Summary

Hulu’s reality competition *The Mob* puts contestants from several reality shows and *The Sopranos* in an Italian villa, where they compete to become its “don” and win up to $250,000. Hosted by *The White Lotus* Emmy nominee Parker Posey, the eight-episode series offers a rival to *The Traitors*, using challenges inspired by classic mob films and decisions about money, loyalty and eliminations.

A preview pairs *The Bachelor* alum Maria Georgas with *Too Hot to Handle* alum Harry Jowsey in a cooking challenge: making eggplant caponata and rosemary crackers, despite neither knowing the dish. Georgas takes the lead, while Jowsey admits the kitchen is not their natural habitat. The first four episodes have already seen contestants leave, with four episodes still to come; the cast also includes Aida Turturro, Joe Gorga, Bruno Tonioli and Willam Belli.
