Another year, another season of "Survival" comes upon us to crown one person physically and mentally stronger than anyone else (and the intent is entirely to write these lines, which at least says thank you for not having to write about the truly silly "Singer in the Mask").
Just like in the last "Big Brother" season, here too the use of the title "VIP" is done generously, since apart from a small number of celebs and past celebrities, we mostly got leftovers from other reality shows, but mostly old "Survival" dormitories.
How old are you?
Try season 1 of this reality marvel, which came up in 2007 and first introduced us to names like Dan Mano (forever our favorite survivor) and Leah Gil - who came back to us after realizing how much she did not understand the game then, and was even last night reluctantly chosen to be the leader of One of the tribes.
When we met her then she was 32, today she is 45 with two children.
But maybe she really has something to give, after so many seasons she watched them at home, trying to figure out what she was doing wrong.

A good word should be said about the opening of this exposition episode, which is all in the spirit of “Impossible Mission,” spy movies and entertaining sinks on the part of the participants. Jackie Azoulay will tell you that she is not the national mammy, Shira Farber poisons a man, Ohad Buzaglo and Fanny (no longer Buzaglo) are the first divorced couple in the history of the show. And there is also Ella Ivander, who prefers to eat cockroaches over sitting in the office (a proper culinary choice, you would also think if you had eaten in the dining room in the previous work of this columnist).
Lisa Bich is a network star who bought a house from her vogue work, Jonathan Bashan defines himself as "an actor whose last time I played was years ago" and also a non-Dushbag in reality.
They were also joined by Dandan Bolotin, our candidate to win this game, mainly by virtue of being an older, smarter, biologist, experienced adventurer and lover of larvae of snack beetles.
We would also put our chips on Vered Busquila, a world champion and former Olympic cruiser, if she hadn’t lost the task already in the first episode and rewarded crying because of it, which makes us a little less likely to see her as a finalist.
Like her, Maayan Ashkenazi, a fitness trainer and Instagram anchor, who decided to drop her lecturing character at the age of 30, and still insists that there is no reason not to like her.
This is not the way to play this game, Maayan.

What Stress.

And more casting flashbacks: Odelia Suissa, coming out of the show "Let's Eat Me" and "Big Brother," who claims she has not seen a penny of all this dubious publicity;
Gadi Penilov - another "brother" who has apparently not acquired any life skills so far, although he claims to have improved since the program that discovered him and defines himself today as "a neighbor who does shopping" and even presses the washing machine button.
What are the chances of a person with a low survival chance in a civilized world surviving in field conditions?
It is not clear.
At least he has a certain pride in him, unlike Kobi Maor - an actor who claims that the whole country knows him inside (not us, sorry), a number who are approached on the street by all sorts of names, but finds that his favorite name is "shit".
Seriously, you can't invent this thing.

The only three people who really deserve the title of "VIP" (except, of course, the mysterious survivor in a mask - the first gimmick of the season, and one created to give a rival to a competitor from "Keshet 12") are the footballer Dudu Awat ("I stayed the same child of Upper Nazareth"). .
The confused Yuval, who arrived dressed in his confused uniform (and in his famous voice, a question tells of him sounding like a toilet), and Michael Lewis who likes to walk around naked (and about him these, probably the most powerful punch machine this season, says she "remembers his ass more than Face "and offers him to open an Instagram dedicated only to this organ. Charming).
These are Ivander.

But with all due respect to potential survivors, the title "The person with the greatest chance of not surviving the coming week in Israel" goes to Henry David, an actor and man who insisted in the first episode of the season to tell about his aversion to many Orientals.
What's up, Henry?
Are you new here?

In short, the not-really-VIP season of "Survival" is underway, and please, the captains of Network 13, did not air every day of the week or for an entire year, like other seasons.
It is doubtful whether we will survive.
