"New Love" cast a divorced and full band to silence the critics.

And we still got clichés

No matter their weight or marital status, even this season the singles in "New Love" (Network) speak fluent cliché.

They are all looking for their best friend, the other half, the one who will feel comfortable next to him and be able to walk around next to him at home without makeup.

But unfortunately, bachelorhood is the easier problem in the program

New Love |

Interview with Maya Wertheimer (Network 13)

A difficult day went by for Network 13. "VIP Survival" ended with the lowest rating for a final broadcast since the format arrived in Israel (when viewers are underestimated, they point to the sign, who would have believed) and even worse - suspicion of illegal winning by Ella Eibinder.

How do you get out of depression?

It turns out that through "new love", or so they hope.

The second season of the original matchmaking program - and in 'Original' I mean the format was created here, because beyond that you will not find much originality - came up yesterday and brought with it much-needed casting changes, unbearable clichés and a change in the host segment.

Like last season, this time too you will find single women who have everything (but everything) in life except love.

In contrast to the "wedding", which is of course the obvious point of comparison for the show, here the bachelors will not experience a wedding pike.

What is?

The four bachelorettes will be locked together in a camera-networked boutique hotel and will practice living together with changing bachelors for a period of three days.

If the match worked they would be able to leave the 'training camp' but if they decide they see no potential, a new bachelor will reach to their doorstep and the experiment will start again.

To sharpen the feeling of "I ordered a 'wedding at first sight' from Ali Express and that's what I got", here too there is a panel of experts who sit and stare at singles and pass criticism that will make you wonder why they say it is so hard to be accepted to study psychology in Israel.

A good example of interpretation can be found in the psychologist Dor Harari who said: "I feel they are going to be a beautiful couple."

Network 13 opened an investigation after a question spread flammable material on the rope.

How old is she?

One of the justified criticisms against the previous season concerned the casting of bachelorettes - Tel Avivians (sorry, there were also Givatayim), thin and barely thirty years old.

The production seems to have taken the reviews to attention and made an effort to present a diverse cast: yesterday we met the two-year-old 35 who refuses to reveal her age (young!) And thus makes everyone think she is much older than she is.

Oh, and she's also from Datleshit, so you can mark a double V here. Also in the cast are Mariana, who is also divorced, also a mother of a child and also from Be'er Sheva (or as one of the other bachelors said "lovely"), Dana from Miami (she lives on the 34th floor, no It's clear why this is important) which presents a first positive body casting in the format and to the beautiful Frenchwoman who looks like she was pulled straight from the cinema screen and her 'flaw' is that she is only half Jewish.

Unfortunately, when the cast tries so hard to cast stereotypes that will silence the critics they miss the personality.

Because no matter their weight or marital status, even this season the bachelors talk fluently.

They are all looking for their best friend, the other half, the one who will feel comfortable next to him and be able to walk around next to him at home without makeup.

Unfortunately even more so, bachelorettes are the easier problem in the show, the four bachelors who were matched for them (true, they are the ones who chose them from two options presented to them) were some of the less pleasant types seen on screen lately.

Women aside the fact that it is difficult to physically differentiate between them, there is the one with the squares in his stomach and the tattoos he studied medicine in Odessa and next to it the squares but with the least tattoos his dad is solid saw, the amounts of narcissism that flew on screen yesterday were very hard to watch.

Difficult to watch.

Because let's talk about the most overt lie of all these matchmaking programs.

None of these single men and women really need reality to find the love of their life.

These are always nice people, with good jobs who also go through an excellent screen.

Let me guess their tinder is collapsing from so many inquiries they don’t even get to.

Participation in the program is merely a leverage of good looks and temporary bachelorhood in favor of some time in prime time.

If on the way they also find love it's really cool but that's not the purpose for which we came together.

This is how they also find themselves in other reality shows very quickly, just like last season's participant, Noa Yonni, who did not find love but did find her way to the Big Brother house.

After realizing that I had once again fallen for a group of people who even with a lot of hard effort to feel something towards, all that was left was to try and enjoy the benefits of the format.

And by the advantages of the format I mean that unlike the "wedding" (last time for this text) here the stage of the couples meeting comes already in the first episode when they go down to a joint and passionate dinner.

This encounter was not unusually exciting but it did demonstrate once again how much our lack of authenticity (and ‘ours’ I mean humanity) is sharpened in social situations.

All the couples who had known only hours before and barely remembered each other's last name, insisted on presenting a uniform and romantic front in front of their friends just so that they would not know that even sad, anxious and depressed people are just like them.

New facilitator.

And what about the change in the guiding position?

He's mostly good for the program's public relations.

Do not understand otherwise, from the first episode it is clear that Maya Wertheimer is doing a better job than the one Liron Weizmann did, but at its core "New Love" does not really need a facilitator and she is only there to catch a short conversation with the bachelors.

In conclusion, if romance is what you were looking to see on screen this summer, you probably will not find it here.

I just hope the network will not continue its broadcast as they did with "Survival" so by the end of the show Mariana's child will already be enlisted and Dana will learn to say whole sentences in English and not use the word here and there.

Corner of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda: At the beginning of the episode, Wertheimer announced that "this is exactly the time to get to know our four single women who will begin the journey" and caused linguistic editors across the country to pull hairs out of frustration.
