Sometimes there comes a moment in a television viewer's life when he has to look (reality show) in the eye and ask himself: "Why?".
Why does he continue to watch something that may already be of less interest to him or in general?
Is it a compromise based on the leg, or perhaps the result of an inertia force too strong to resist?
A kind of powerful force of nature from him, who decides for him that a routine is a routine, a world as his custom is and there are things that just do not change?
This moment may have occurred last night (Tuesday) in the minds of quite a few "Wedding at First Sight" viewers, a matchmaking reality (do yourself a favor, it's not docu) that started four seasons ago with a bang, gained record popularity during the first Corona closure, and has since refused to produce The degree of interest generated by his early seasons.
And this is not a matter of Corona or of erosion of the format.
The new season has been approached by veteran viewers with the joy reserved for those who trust and express full confidence in a successful format.
The ratings of the first few episodes will testify to that.
But what was really supposed to interest in yesterday's episode, which featured a collection of dull to unnecessary scenes, and a sort of fake idyll of three couples asking for “I wish it would work between us” after two days of dating?
What exactly is supposed to intrigue us about Guy and Matan, the heteronormative gays in the history of Israeli television?
A couple of strangers trying to shoot a bow and arrow, making fried eggplant together and launching glasses of wine in every second scene is supposed to be a whole TV?
Does it make sense for someone to introduce Ben and a kind of dialogue dialogue centered on mashed potatoes and their great love for him?
"Listen, I've sick of mashed potatoes," Maayan confesses, in a fascinating documentary moment.
"It's the best puree I've ever eaten."
Really, if these are the materials that managed to find themselves part of the episode, then what the hell is left on the editing floor?
Have the dialogues at my wedding always been so dull?
Maybe it's the unexciting casting of the current season that makes each episode feel like an eternity of three hours?

So in the boredom that was yesterday's episode we discovered that Shamai and Moshe are actually a "pee couple", as they define themselves.
This is, of course, because both have to go to the bathroom at parallel times.
Based on this figure, Mai and Moshe declare that they are "the best match they will have in life."
But how, how will they overcome the huge conflict that has arisen between them, around Moshe's love of shopping and May's intense fondness for kissing dogs on the mouth?
Yes, there was also a drama around May's dog, and it was resolved within 30 seconds.
But the main thing was that they included dramatic music.
And there are also Ben and Maayan, who arrive at Yoram's couch in what appears to be a mild but graceful state of intoxication.
These two get along well since the wedding, maybe too well, and decide to move to a prestigious area in Jaffa.
Or as they say: "A perfect area is an area that has a Druze pita."
Shortly after we contract them arranging deodorants and cosmetics in closets (another important TV document), the romantic in Ben gets hurt and he declares, "I have no sentiments for anything."
Which is something every man should tell his new wife on the day they move into a shared apartment.
Maayan, for her part, insists on falling for another Kitbag question that she's not sure she wants to hear about, and wonders if for Ben, a man who stated a moment ago that he and sentiments is like interesting and signature content, their first night together in an apartment other than theirs carries some meaning.
But at this point Ben Kabor learns of the mishaps, and he engraves something on the importance of sharing a space with her, no matter what kind.
From there they, like all the couples in this episode, mostly eat and fake an instant connection.
exciting.
Were we wrong?
