The final episode of "New Love" was the most interesting of the whole season - and also the saddest
Despite some comments about the castings and the team of experts, it was a good season with a fast and good pace.
It's just a pity that the main thing we thought the contestants came out of from the matchmaking reality shows of Network 13 - close friendships with each other - fell apart into small pieces in front of the cameras

Following the success of "Wedding at First Sight", or "Wedding", as we call it, it was decided on Network 13 to jump on the dating bandwagon and invent their own original format in response to the successful program.
In the new format there is no fake wedding, and the married couples do not have to stay together for a long time, for better or worse, until the end of the show.
"New Love" is a lighter and more relevant adaptation to the spirit of things in the fast-paced and app-blowing dating world, while trying to get couples "process" - a word that has been completely taken away from her after a decade of TV frenzy.
The show ended when three out of three couples left the house hand in hand, and until the last episode aired last night, we did not know what happened to these relationships.
It turns out that Ronnie and Eran decided to break up pretty quickly, and even the last two couples didn't really manage to translate the connection and adapt it to the outside world.
According to Noa Yonni and Rona Ne'eman, when the show aired, the need arose to contact Omar and Yotam, and as of the last episode, they are still together.
The final episode that aired yesterday was more interesting and sadder than the whole season.
Yonni suspected Kasif that she wanted Omar, the boat follows Maroni because she "copies" her on Instagram and it is "unpleasant" for her, Roni was offended that she was not invited to the girls' meetings, Kasif was not added to the WhatsApp group that opened without her - and we forgot something.
In short, the main thing we thought the girls came out with from the filming - close friendships with each other - fell apart into small pieces.
But fulfilled.
We are here for a TV critique, not a social critique, and the main question is whether "New Love" perpetuates with its "Three Days Next" format the same romantic superficiality that it seeks to correct, and whether it has a television advantage over its predecessor, since "New Love" entered To huge shoes, and now it's time to decide whether the attempt to walk in them was successful, or came out ridiculous.

The episodes and castings
It is customary to grumble about episodes of reality shows that span an entire week, but this time, not only was each episode of sufficient length, but the season even ended too quickly.
The castings, apart from the fact that the names were too similar, should be more diverse in ages, occupations, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Maybe it's time to stop pretending that all the girls in the world are lawyers / fitness trainers / fashionistas under the age of 35 who weigh a maximum of 53 pounds.
There are other types in the world who are looking for a relationship and will be happy to be represented in these programs, and no disaster will happen if a chubby girl who is looking for a relationship, an unemployed man, or someone who has not found herself and is a waitress, will come.
And speaking of which, why only women?
Let me offer an optimization proposal - two men and two women, and they all live in the compound.
Cool, no?
It is also more diverse, also more balanced in terms of perspectives, one can only benefit from this mix.
There will be more interesting conversations of the participants between matchmaking, also interesting advice that the participants will give to each other, and of course female and male perspectives.
Besides, and this is the icing on the cake - there is a very good chance that a relationship will be formed between a participant who goes through the same experience together.
just saying.

The format
By and large, the structure works.
Those three days were really enough to understand the characters, and it also seemed to be enough for them to develop a desire to continue or know it wasn’t working.
There is something ventilating in the fact that the girls know they are not stuck with anyone they are uncomfortable with and the point of departure is known to them in advance, which takes the pressure off them and us, and also gives us limited space while we can realize our need to critique, express opinion, peek Go to the bedroom and bet whether any relationship will hold or fail.
After all, this is what lies behind the success of the genre - our need to deal with ourselves through watching the failures and efforts of other people and expressing our firm opinion that no one asked for - a sport recognized by devout reality viewers.
Therefore, psychologically, this format works.
It is diverse enough to be interesting to watch and identify with the situations, and we encounter the same dilemmas we encountered in "Wedding at First Sight", only without the feeling of disgust and distress that already attacks the participants on the honeymoon, with which we identify, but between us - who wants?
There was perhaps a place to mingle a bit between matchmaking, to give participants 24 hours alone in between, both to recover and rest and also to solve another format problem.
An element missing in "New Love" is the experts.
Yes, there are three experts.
But what have they already contributed to the season?
It's not that any of them shelled out insights that surprised anyone.
Without underestimating their professionalism, of course, perhaps the final editing just did them no favors.
And here's the idea - in the 24 hours without a match, the participants will have intensive conversations in which the last connection will be discussed, and a more in-depth analysis of the whole story will be made.
It will also benefit them, and will also open up to viewers another layer of the characters in the show, and will contribute to the emotional connection with them.
Still together.

The tasks
An addition that actually works is the tasks. No matter what the couples did, whether it was a costume selection task, a bike ride or a karaoke evening, each task, almost without exception, did the job and flooded the surface with dynamics, problems, frictions and dilemmas, thus helping to promote the short relationship, And sometimes even make him run out. The living arrangements also worked. The shared residence gives the viewer a familiar feeling we know from Melrose Place and of course from "Big Brother", and the fact that the participants know each other and can help, comfort, or advise each other, makes the whole business much easier to digest, especially relative to a cut off from wedding attendees. Also there, one of the most successful episodes of each season is the couples weekend where everyone meets.
There is nothing to do, certain things come out of us when we are alone with a new partner, and completely different things when we open up the marital framework for further interactions. The shared tasks and pastimes are an important step on the path to getting to know each other - it can do damage, but in many cases it will also be helpful, normalizing the intense experience the couples go through, and perhaps helping them imagine this relationship even after the show. That's what they and we really want, isn't it? Going out at the end of the season with new couples, who will hopefully also last, or at least long enough to continue to entertain us over the gossip columns, until next season.
