On the offer from "Survival": "Generous but not enough" • On "The Race for a Million": "Season at High Volume" • And what will happen next season?
• Ron Shachar at the end point
The final of the "Race for a Million" comes to an end tonight (after the news, Network 13) in one of the most difficult and dramatic final tasks broadcast in the history of the race.
As part of the task, the contestants are required to become one body, with one assisted by the hands and the other by the legs, and to walk on a thin rope 30 meters high.
The end of the mission was filmed on Sunday night, when the couples jumped into it at times when they stopped on a mission in Brazil, all to avoid the leak of the winning pair.
"It was a great season that was at a much higher volume than the other seasons, both in the level of friction between the couples, the humor, difficult tasks, and also for those who have already done one season it was difficult and challenging," says presenter Ron Shachar.
In fact, last night you announced to couples for the last time about the position, who won and who lost at the end point. It was hard?
"Yes, it is difficult to come to a couple and tell them that they came in second place and almost earned a million shekels, but only almost."

On the other hand, the moment of announcing the winners is much more fun.
"It's a super-exciting moment. No matter what situation they get into, it's always a Hollywood ending."
In fact, you move from country to country while they run and fight, sounds like a dream job.
"I come to the country as a pioneering force and try to be 24 hours before the couples, and I start filming things I can not photograph while they start running. When they join the country, on the morning of the start, I go out first, photograph an explanation of a first mission and once I finish they start. "To the end point before the first couple. There were situations where I waited ten hours between the first and last couple. I started a work day at six in the morning until midnight, and suddenly I was already at the airport on my way to the next country."

The Corona has changed the rules of the game and a new season will not be filmed soon, which is even before we mentioned the costs.
"Right now it's too early to talk about next season because our whole world has changed in the wake of the corona, but I estimate that when the world gets vaccinated, and not just in Western countries but also in countries where the 'race' reaches, only then will a dialogue begin around next season. We know how to invent patents, and we have a winning team on how to bring the show to profitability and provide the same level of production that the viewer sees on screen. "
The season was great and talked about, but the ratings were not high enough. Do you have an explanation?
"This season we faced 'The Singer in a Mask' which is a new show, and also a third season of 'Ninja' which broke records last year, and yet we managed to maintain a high share of viewers. Add to that that we are also seen on all platforms and not just instantly during broadcast. "A lot of data that doesn't go into this morning's ratings, and there we have a lot of audiences and we reached the exposure of half a million viewers per episode, and that's a very nice statistic."
We reported last week that you were negotiating with "Survival" as a participant, but he was unsuccessful.
"I was very hesitant and the offer was very nice, but if I went it was because I wanted action and also to be on the other side to experience this personal journey. 'Survival' would have challenged me and I her. It was a generous offer but not enough, and it went down well. .
