Well, that was a chapter piece yesterday, wasn 't it?
It's not exactly hard to put your finger on the points that made last night's (Saturday) episode of "Wedding" thousands of times more successful than any other episode so far.
We like in this column to point out the weaknesses of this season, and to present the fact that it is so boring, devoid of flight or developments. It is true that the connections this season have been significantly less successful than in previous seasons (sorry, Einat and Liron. We will get to you later). The interest in this fourth season of "Wedding at First Sight", or its complete absence if we are completely honest, lay in the work that also failed in the facial pairs, as in any reality that long passed the second season line, no matter what - in front of the camera must pass Passon. This awareness meant that even the arguments were not exactly quarrels from the underworld, the preparations were provided sparingly and in general - not much happened. But yesterday's episode was really fascinating, full of happenings and great editing - even cinematic at certain moments, and accurate at the soundtrack level as well.
If one of the episodes at the beginning of this season is called "Leaving Spring" turned out to be one of many threats or false promises this season (what really happened there on Mano and Nitzan's Tinder, we were never really told), this time it did.
A week before the end of the process, and apparently when she was completely shaken from the couples' weekend, Maayan decided she was tired.
Cinemas.
Omri and Maayan,
She has long understood that Omri is not committed to the process in any way. She had already realized a few weeks ago that she was sharing an apartment with a man whose heart was closed just like his nostrils. She knew from the beginning that the man in front of her was not looking to meet her, not really able to open at the moment and the only process he is committed to is what happens in the digestive tract of the pair of dogs he has taken out every morning in the month since entering the show. In the name of God, even these two managed to move Seychelles out of utter boredom (at least for us viewers). Fulfilled that there was never a real spark there, most couples did not have that (and for almost everyone who was he passed within a few hours). Maayan and Omri never had an interest.
The tendency is of course to blame Omri, but that would be pretty unfair to him. Although he did not try so hard to hide the fact that all he gives Maayan is lip service in order to somehow pass with her the few days they still have left together, until all the other boys in the couples meeting came up in seconds for his indifference. Nor did he exactly try to resist in any way when Maayan informed him that she had decided to end this absurd theater called their imaginary relationship, and just let it happen just as he had hoped. Even on the couch in front of Yael it was obvious that he mostly wanted to get out of the strange situation he found himself in in front of an entire country, and while Maayan was talking he was more trying to figure out what extra he wanted on the falafel that would fall on him when he left. Returns to the market soon. But now that we have said all this - it should also be said that it is not that Maayan tried too hard.
Although Omri's hollow smile made most of us want to throw a candlestick on the TV (what do you mean, you do not have a candlestick in the living room?), Maayan's looks, which always moved on the scale between the upset, the accusing or the uninterested, did not exactly help. Which is interesting, because for her alter ego Noa Filter it would not have happened. Even the Spring of the Testimonials, the short interview clips with her, had far more character and insights than the gray version that was in front of Omri. And if there is one clear sign that these two should not have been together, it is probably the fact that Maayan - a girl with a presence, intelligence and a conquering smile, next to Omri simply turned off all of these. Also, about the same smile - Omri's look, left to sigh in front of an entire nation (and the two's dog war was a fantastic moment of room energy that passes to every living creature in the house), said one thing: you owe me for cleaning and teeth whitening.
Alongside them in this episode also starred Liron and Einat, who are upset that none of the other couples' friends asked Einat a question in the infamous wool ball game.
"Could it be that I'm so boring?", Einat wonders in front of the cameras.
Look, it's not exactly that you were the living spirit of this party, but at least you did zero vanity and sometimes that's something too.
It seems that one of the wedding editors tried to confirm her suspicions, because there is really no other way to explain Einat's 18-second yawning scene in the middle of this episode, if not as a video editor's way of having fun with himself, his viewers and the couple he had to experience endless hours of material Raw anesthetic.
Boring?

At one point in the episode Liron asks (in his gentle way, because it's Liron - a man with the presence of a napkin) if his partner is going to be resurrected when the cameras go off, the 42 day show will end and they will have to make the transition to the real world. If it seems to you that I'm going to be interesting now that it's all over, then maybe you should check out your sources, Liron answered him in her own way, revealing to us that she's not going to love dogs all of a sudden either. That means she does not currently like dogs, and that leaves us thinking what she has there instead of a heart.
And in the segment of our favorite couple in the whole world, Mano and Nitzan are returning home and to their natural place, that is, to Mano's smoking balcony.
"Admit it, this is the most fun house in Tel Aviv," Mano confronts her with the fact that she stayed for a month in a stallion apartment saturated with alcohol and cigarette smoke.
Not sure this is exactly what Nitzan was aiming for when she got to the show, but at this point even she has to admit that we got into her heart.
It just comes out to her in a bit of a crooked way in front of Yael, as she tries to explain that she finally sees beyond Mano's stellar humor and manages to see there the vulnerable and complex person he is, while Mano understands from all this sentence that she has so far seen placard.
Just angry, not sad.

Clearly this concerns us on sensitive points, because for the first time he allows himself to be less in the "all is well" approach and shows some anger or frustration at trying to get that person out superficially and without depth.
The two eventually complete, in a beautiful scene in which Nitzan cries only at the thought of hurting her partner for the experience (authentic crying of the one who actually sees in front of her the person he is), and Mano comforts her with a hug and explains that he is just angry, not sad.
That is, there was not much humor this time, because where would you put humor in such a beautiful scene of our favorite pair to win this season, if it were a competition.
Give them a reward, a flight to the Seychelles, a yacht ride, a lifetime supply of OCB papers, anything.
Even cleaning or bleaching will suffice.
