I have been watching the show since the beginning, and this is the first time I really enjoy a reality show, because the characters give one the idea of how to get along (or not), under closed conditions.
However last night, I was so disgusted that Shachar was still on. His behavior is sick, rude, loud and an embarrassmentg. When I saw that the entire group was helping Einav during her sickness, and he sat there eating, no stuffing his huge body again, with a big kitchen knife, as if he took special joy in the happenings around him, he deserved not to be voted out, but thrown out. Shifra and Ranin seem two very fine and educated women, whose example the others don’t appreciate. They should make it to the end of the show, as well as Leon, whose behavior is always correct. Itai is a very nice and fine person, who took over for Einav’s medical needs, while her father continued to behave like a gorilla, as always. He didn’t seem to care, just grumble, complain and distribute his own stupid philosophies, to anyone who would listen.
I still have hopes for Shifra, Ranin, Leon and Itai, because they will play the game fairly, the others should go home.
