In the finale of "The Singer in the Mask" there was no added value, no significant moment, nothing

The only thing that mentioned last night's final on Keshet 12's flagship program was the announcement of the final advertisement - and here is the whole Torah on one foot.

Maybe it's time to announce the death of the "grand finale", if that's what one of the most watched shows on TV has to offer at the end of its journey

Rina Matzliach is a guest on the "Singer in a Mask" team (Keshet 12)

In the future, apparently, everyone will get 15 seconds where they shout at him from all sides "Who is this? Who is this?".

Then they will discover, and then they will forget, and they will move to shout to the next mysterious figure, and then to the one that follows.

The finale of "The Singer in the Mask" (Rainbow 12) provided three such opportunities, followed by commercials, empty words, and finally solutions.

The game is over.

Amazing how there was nothing else in this broadcast, no added value, no significant moment, nothing, television or human.

What is for some reason called the "grand finale" looks just like any other show in this sequence.

The only thing that mentioned a final last night on the show was the announcement of the final advertisement - and here is the whole Torah on one foot.

Maybe it's time to announce the death of the "grand finale," if that's what one of the most watched shows on TV has to offer at the end of its journey.

For its participants, the singer in the mask offers a deal: humiliation in exchange for exposure.

It hurts to have Shai Gavso, a truly talented artist, required to get into a monkey costume for people to remember how much he has to give.

Oz Zahavi, who has a real career, did not really need this nonsense, and on judging, a puzzling act that for some reason Keshet insists on leaving in the mind over and over again and it is doubtful if he exists without it, there is nothing more to say.

Maybe this is the thing: what can be said about this silly event?

Yes, one can repeatedly point to the casual words spilled over a performance we will not remember;

On the futility and taste of the format, which is based on guesswork but has virtually no effect on it;

On the play of the vague hints from which nothing can be inferred;

On the self-satisfaction in all this happening.

Yes, it can be pointed out - but it's almost obvious.

It is also clear to the king that he is naked - that is, apart from the mask - but no one seems to care.

emptiness.

If there is one word that sticks out nonetheless to describe the end of this saga is emptiness.

So here, we found out who is hiding behind the mask.

We shouted "Who is this? Who is this?", And a solution came.

And now what?

What will be left for viewers of all this?

I'll stay with one moment.

This is the moment when it turned out that the former Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health, Itamar Grotto, was exposed as a pea. This is perhaps the moment of the year on Israeli television, perhaps the moment of the decade News with entertainment, life-threatening with meaningless dance, corona masks with a pea mask - and turns them all into raw material for the next nihilistic amusement.
