Network 13 last night (Tuesday) abruptly announced that an episode of "Survival" would not air as planned.
It happened shortly after the episode was supposed to be aired, and it is estimated that the franchise feared competition from "The Singer in a Mask" which aired concurrently with Rainbow 12. Instead of the episode of "Survival" an episode of the "Don't Pray the Million" show aired.
This move drew a lot of criticism on the net.
Viewers are furious at the many changes to the new season's broadcast schedule and the confusing inconsistency in the episode airing.

"This is wrong and very disappointing," a devout viewer wrote on Facebook.
"I wait all day. All day long they broadcast a promo, until an hour ago they showed what would happen in the episode and suddenly canceled? What is so urgent in the program 'Do not pray the million'?"
Another viewer wrote: "At least replace it with a good movie, you bad ones."
Other responses were "Dear Scouts, Spread Yourself Again";
"All day you advertise and suddenly cancel… not to the point. Contempt for viewers," or "Contempt has always been their strong suit. Do what they want."
It was written on Twitter: "I did not understand, there is no survival today? This is really an abuse of your captive viewers."
Many tweets have addressed the hypothesis that the postponement of the episode is related to the parallel broadcast of "The Singer in a Mask" which significantly impairs the viewing percentages of the current season of "Survival."
Thus, for example, it was written: "The hand-bending game of Network and Rainbow, which culminated today with the network's last-minute announcement of postponing 'survival' is perhaps a war of money and ego, but also and especially contempt for viewers."
And among all these, there are also those who chose to humorously refer to the change in the broadcast panel, and tweeted: Pay attention!
'VIP Survival' will not air tonight.
In its place will be broadcast the opera "La Marmor" by Perlesh, "referring to the mythical sketch of the Lul group, which included Uri Zohar and Arik Einstein.
