My neighbor made it into the finals of the first season- he loved it, his whole family was campaigning for him, and I thought it was shticky and corny, but okay, if there’s an audience.
Then I watched an episode of the newer season, and I was in utter shock. Doesn’t “hamalbin pnei chaveiro berabim” lose his portion in olam haba? I’ve seen episodes of the real shows, and you could so tell that they were directly modeling it after one of them. Come on people, so they do it- don’t you want to be better than them? It was absolutely horrifying.
NEVER watching that again.
