A minute and a half was enough.
It was the longest foreplay in history, ending the most tiring season in the history of "VIP Survival" with a tense firefight duel between Ella and Jackie.
Half a year of plans and strategies drained into a one-and-a-half-minute intense live scene, which Guy Zo-Eretz tried to define as a "piece of history," while trying to make sure no excited celeb accidentally lit the flames lit in the studio.
Still, since the divorce Odelia and the fire department are no longer a love story.
This season was so staged and embarrassing that it was impossible to hide the farce.
"For the past two weeks there have been rumors that there is a draw in the vote, so I have trained a lot and all my hands are warts," Ella Eibinder admitted a minute after snatching the check.
Loser Jackie Azoulay explained that she was not preparing for battle and left the decision in the hands of a world creator.
I mean, the production.
Although Network 13 branded the event as a “historic finale” thanks to female dominance, there is no doubt that in the history books it will be listed as the worst season in the show’s history.
Less due to the happenings and intrigues between the characters, and more due to the ongoing chewing of the never-ending story.
It was very difficult for this country to take over the three finalists, whom he stubbornly kept calling "girls."
At the last Tribal Council they were dragged into debates over who is a better mother, who is more loyal, etc., then ruined the facilitator's construction of the tension when they glanced at the note and revealed to viewers that it would end in a draw, but that's the case with history in the making.
As the season spread, the final was also brutally stretched until the winner was revealed, a few minutes before midnight.
Like a gun that appears in the first act, the veto bracelet was pulled out at the beginning of the broadcast and blocked the possibility of an odd number of voters.
Eight ballots were buried in the ballot box, and they were gradually tediously exposed throughout the evening.
Ella, Jackie and Odelia - never have reality viewers had to suffer so much for such an inflated trio that it is not clear what it stands for.
feminism?
Egoism?
Pursuit of honor and wealth?
"Income tax is an asshole," Ella summed up her agenda in the winning interview.
VIP Survival Final,
The narrative of female power was eventually used as a mask for banal intrigue between a bunch of privileged celebrities trying to survive on a secluded island.
It is therefore excessive to delve into the futile debate of the final episode - whether to give a million shekels to a character who is agreed to have the most influence on moves and strategies (Jackie), but for that purpose, in the West Bank, conspiracy and manipulation,
Or take revenge on her and give victory to the sub-character trailed after her (these).
Again we went back to the same basic discussion about the essence of the game.
Do we have to lie and stab knives in order to advance and survive?
Every season in every country ends in the same unresolved human dilemma, between maintaining values and blindly pursuing a strategy.
What exactly is a historical finale in this?
And it ended in a draw.
"Survival" next season will be different.
She has no choice.
The original format was destroyed on the altar of ratings, and to restore the golden age will not only be enough to change the production house ("Endemol Shine" is supposed to replace "Abbott Hameiri" next season) but must actually rebuild everything.
For example, significantly shorten the length of the season, cast unknown survivors, simplify the rules and eliminate the complicated additions (veto bracelets, double votes, cabins, etc.), allow characters to initiate moves without production intervention, not allow Guy Zo-Eretz to stir tribes, and especially not Underestimate the intelligence of the viewer.
In short, do the opposite of everything that has been done in recent seasons of Israeli "survival."
The lock-in of "Survival" was heard yesterday on its daughter show, "Jury Villa."
As you may recall, this is an unnecessary plan built on the remnants of raw materials of the ousted survivors who wait in vain to be brought back home.
To warm up the area for the final, we were given a celebratory episode from the villa on Saturday night, which documented the venerable jury before their vote.
In order to put together an episode of Nothing, the editors had to dig deep, and so we got the following scene: "I have a fart," declared Leah Gil, who was lying on a blanket on the beach, with a very confused Yuval sitting next to her.
And really, the warning came true, the confused was impressed by the effect, and also updated the rest of the bored celebs.
In conclusion he contributed a fart of his own, explaining: "Such, but twice she did."
The season of "VIP Survival" was so stinking that it was clear it would end in bloating.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
