At this point, as we delve deep into the dull fourth season of "Wedding at First Sight," it is inevitable to state that when it comes to commitment to the process - it is evident that women are the ones creating the difficulty.
It does produce great material for this column ('
Khatunami
', for those who just joined), which would
hardly
have justified its existence if we had watched twice a week in a functioning operation, and not in the hit-and-run accident that were Ben and Manor, let's say.
And yet, except for perhaps one or two of them (Einat, a pleasant surprise; Nitzan - we'll get to you later), we anticipate what appear to be honest attempts on the male side of the "wedding" relationship equation, while the women, well, they mostly pile up difficulties.
That it's crazy, because what do you require of them?
A total dedication to a completely absurd format, which places them dealing with a stranger whose presence has been forced upon them, at the heart of the peak viewing hours of the successful commercial channel in Israel?
come on.

In everything guilt, of course, springs. She is the one who created the momentum of relationships that do not actually happen. Ever since she boarded the plane with Omri to the Seychelles, all her conduct feels like the joy of life, the willingness to fall in love and of course the naivety drawn from her, in favor of a face full of melancholy and Wanzi dinosaur she refuses to remove. Where is she and where is she who mumbled to herself throughout the first few episodes of the season "I can not believe I'm going to get married tomorrow", as if trying to convince herself of something that is not tangible at all and yet is going to happen. Just as the writer's niece did, only in her case it's a wait for a tablet, and she's five. Something has changed since those two where the honeymoon in the Seychelles, tell us in this episode, and we answer - calm down, already in the Seychelles watching them felt like staring at a paint drying on a wall.
At the end of the episode she will tell Omri that she actually wants "it".
Omri will be blown away because he finally managed to extract a minimal statement of intent from the foreigner who came with him and also because he managed to convince all of us that he is a dentist, when in fact he spends most of his time in tattoo parlors and staring at the screen.
Why do you sit at the computer all the time, Omri?
Does your drive have gingivitis?
He has an empty house.
Manu and Nitzan,
And this brings us to Karin, which is her 433rd day under a heavy make-up coat, which she refuses to remove, at least until the offspring she brings with Itamar (she does not) reach the age of observance, or until the cover of the magazine article she receives. This time he was actually the lead singer of Hope 6. At the beginning of the episode she rattles something about a suitcase she still holds in the car, as any fresh wife actually does, in case she wants to run away from her husband's house in the middle of the night, the fifth time he hears "Sigpo" repeat.
Along the way she gets mad at boyfriend Lieberman, who got off her attire and pointed out a detail we’ve all noticed long ago - and that is the fact that Karin, well, does nothing at home.
As usual, she will try to create a quarrel from the matter, Itamar will go take a shower and then photograph himself sad out of what appears to be a dark prison cell.
A fascinating human document.

Itamar,
By the way, a dark prison cell, it is obvious that this is how Nitzan sees Mano's house, to which she moved, but only yesterday and has not stopped complaining about the peeling ceiling and that it is a "boys' apartment." Mano, a man who mumbles to himself "everything is fine" even in front of World War II archive footage, says he does not care that she will hang flower pots or the demon knows what it is she wants from him, and tries to arrange a thrashing with the guys for Thursday night. Nitzan, of course, is less attached to the concept of "pizza and smoking meetings," and Mano exhibits a rare distribution of attention, between completely ignoring Nitzan's allusion and sliding right and left on Tinder. Too bad, Manor was actually flowing.
But not everything is black in the "wedding at first sight" realm.
Because in the tangle of failing relationships at varying levels, he hides one couple who meanwhile are showing positive signs.
We are of course talking about Liron and Einat, a duo who behaves, what do you know, like two normative people trying to get to know each other.
What a concept!
The thing is, there's really nothing to write about and it's less good for us.
Good luck to you, a couple of people just fine that you are.
Next time you try harder, you may get more reading time.
You're fine.
Liron and Einat, from "Wedding at First Sight"
