"Big Brother" and "Dancing with the Stars," Rainbow and Network, 21:15 p.m.
Like a lame, cross-eyed and confused boxer, Network 13 embarked on a life-and-death battle on Tuesday that is shaping up to be the last chance to regain its lost honor and abandoned viewers. And there's no better brand to send to the fateful ratings war than Big Brother, which opened a new season right at the same time as the launch of "Dancing with the Stars" on Rainbow 12.
Ultimately, ratings will determine what the summer will look like, but at least on paper these are two opposing reality formats. "Brother" gives its viewers gossip and digging, fights over cigarettes and strange characters, while "Dancing" provides a Feel Good TV that makes the viewer pleasant, passes the evening with fun and caresses the heart.

Maybe one day I'll be able to understand the human desire to watch other people dance. What does it stem from? Is it from the desire to see them screw up and crash or break their leg in front of the entire nation? Because if she did, the premiere show did provide such a moment - Kim Or Azoulay fell on her head just before the end of the dance, but somehow came out in one piece and as expected received the most points from the judges and finished first in the performance round.
Big Brother, on the other hand, is like a surprise box. The viewer starts a season without knowing what awaits him inside, and as a result opening programs generate constant curiosity and usually satisfactory ratings. "Dear viewers, you must not move from the screen tonight. Tonight you are only with us," declared Guy Zu-Eretz, and within a minute he had delivered the goods. To the tune of the hymn "Our Father is still alive," suddenly the first occupant – a young Hasidic Jew, who tried to focus all his attention on him – suddenly walked along the runway.
Like a surprise box. Big Brother,
As he made his way toward the door, a spectator broke through the sleepy security circle and ran up the stairs, trying to infiltrate the fireplace with two thuggish security guards on behind him. The real occupant with wigs and a kippah waved his hands to the sky, Zu-Earth shouted "forgetful" and in an instant we saw security guards dragging the unruly spectator out of frame. You can go back to behaving accordingly – the provocation worked.
Meanwhile, on the parallel channel, dancers dressed in golden clothes waved their hands to the sides and flames of fire filled the plaza and brought out cries of "wow" from Dana Grotzky. Yes, that guy from Guy Pines dances on reality TV too.
Gia Be'er Gurevich first danced, giving a performance in the style of Cha Cha Cha and in order to complete the self-promotion, she was filmed behind the scenes of the other program in which she participates - Wonderful Land. How did she dance? It doesn't matter when all four judges compete over who is more supportive than the other. Phil-Good is the vibe.
, what does the desire to watch people dance come from?
Rush to "Big Brother": We got to know a character who seemed to have been written for "Wonderful Country". One Yuval transcripts, she speaks from her nose, reads sad books by Noam Horev and analyzes poems by Nurit Galron. She was followed by a model named Nicole, a model survivor of a terror attack, a teacher with a Dalmatian haircut and ingrown nails, Barbie who describes herself as "a woman from heaven, divorced from hell," a criminal with tattoos on her head, a conflicted brother and sister, an Ethiopian who asks not to be labeled "the Ethiopian," and a single mother whose personal story was described by the moderators as "the most moving."
At the same time in Rainbow 12, Rona Li-Shimon was torn up in tears following Didi Harari's dance. Proportions are important. Just before the dispersal, Orly Levy Abekasis, who chose reality TV to whitewash her public image, burst onto the floor. "There are those who take a trip after the army, so for me it's kind of a trip after my politics," she explained, struggling to decide between a step to the right and a step to the left.
The brother's circus ends with the presentation of a large billboard, inside which will live two attention-grabbers who will compete for a final ticket to the new season; The parallel channel promised to show on the next show how the judges praised the dancers, even more than usual, and spoiled with a round and flattering score of 10. Another reality season has begun. This time life or death is on the agenda.
