Yehuda Yitzhakov, Shai Chai

At the end of 2015, a new king was born in Israel: Shai Chai.
The "Big Brother" contestant stood out very much from the moment he entered.
In fact, within a few days, Shai Hai became - not only the undisputed king of the house, but the undisputed star of the season.
Shai Chai owes his rise to greatness to Yoram Zack, the editor and voice of "Big Brother" at the time, after it asked him to publicly evict the occupants of the house.
Thus was born the corner of "the whole truth in the face", which will be remembered forever as one of the most violent catalysts in the history of Israeli television.
The golem stood up on the fireplace
Anyone living in Israel at that time can not forget the difficult corner to watch, where Shai Chai slammed into the rest of the tenants everything he thought of them with the encouragement of "Big Brother", fluently and calmly, in a voice penetrating like a knife.
For quite a few viewers, it was the TV moment of the week, but for Shai Hai's victims it was a nightmare that could not be avoided from his face or cameras.
Simultaneously with the launch of the corner that functioned as a spawn box of TV violence, outside the house he organized the "Army of Truth of Shai Hai" - tens of thousands of devout fans of a star they know a few weeks, who not only save him weekly from dismissal, but also pour thousands of shekels on helicopters to cheer Their new object of admiration, Shemen probably does not get many hugs after giving them insulting and ugly "truths".
He was said to be "Big Brother" himself, that the "Shai Chai" brand is bigger than any reality show, while the reality show starring him has reached new heights of verbal violence on television.
One case of disorderly conduct even forced "Big Brother," unfortunately, to get Shai Chai out of the house.
But the festive departure ball organized for him by his army at the Artist Club 17, which was supposed to be the beginning of a wonderful career, actually marked the beginning of the crash of the new TV brand.
From the fireplace to the tin
"Only outside did I realize how bad my situation was," Shai Hai told me in an interview I conducted with him three years after he became a household name in every home in Israel.
"One day you are the star of the biggest reality show in the country, and the day after, no one wants to hear from you. It was a slap in the face."
He conducted this interview with me ahead of his second entry into the Big Brother house, this time in his calm, conciliatory and apologetic version.
He came out without the million, but with a little more respect.

Back to the right: 38 days have passed since the new season of "Big Brother" aired, and despite a bit of caution, it seems to me that it can already be determined: viewers at home are tired of thugs on screen.
Any tenant who is portrayed as violent or controversial is immediately sent home.
The first was Elimelech Keshti.
The opposition of the viewers and the advertisers to the participation in the reality of the person who is facing an indictment in court for assaulting an elderly person, did its thing, and he left after a few days.
By the way, he acted correctly in my opinion when he went underground, until he faced the charges against him.
Immediately after, he went down the stairs to Ezekiel the Baghdadite, a tenant who was busy stubbornly trying to quarrel, but oops - was sent home before he succeeded.
Eilat rescuer David Dimos insisted on being the alpha of the house, but his racist remarks, including "a white Ashkenazi jumps in the head" and other controversial sayings, sent him back to the lifeguard booth, where at least he would save a life and speak less nonsense.

And that's not all - Moore Lerman also left home much earlier than a "wedding" graduate imagined.
Her lack of sympathy for the popular tenant Gal Gvaram, did not work in her favor and she was sent away crying.
Last and very unkind - the vulgar and blunt Ronit.
One of the older tenants in the house, who was supposed to be a rationale to set an example for her younger ones, generously fulfilled the role assigned to her by the production and quickly became a controversial tenant, to say the least, while tenant Linoy served as her target.
The surfers summed up her stay at home with the words "Baruch Shaftarnu", and I had to agree.

Precede a blow to Mecca
Although this is only a reality show, we are still asked: Is it possible that this sequence of dismissals symbolizes something about us as a society?
Without getting into the worn-out metaphors of "social experimentation on television," is it possible that we are fed up with evil and bullying on our screen, and perhaps at all?
And have we come to understand that we prefer the good over the bad, so much so that even the quiet Ayalon survives any rejection?
According to this theory, Yehuda Yitzhakov is in clear and immediate danger. The first tenant who conquered me at the ID card stage and I bet on him for the final is very disappointing. Week by week he is portrayed as increasingly loud, nervous and annoying. The one we talked about at the beginning of the article, but it seems that what worked then, does not work today.
It's hard to say what's happened since.
A total of about four years have passed since Shai Chai's empire. What is certain is that whether he has anything more to offer or not, if Judah continues to behave in the same way, his expected and quick removal from the house will only be to his advantage There will be a fix, ask Shai Chai.
