TAR ISRAEL 5 SHOW Discussion *spoilers*
BritishTARFan:
I have no idea what people are saying, what's happening or where there going, it's in a completely foreign language that hasn't got a link to a romance or Germanic language :funny:!
Yet there is something about it that I like that's I think are missing from the American Version, the tasks are amazing! :luvya:

IMO, hebrew is a fun language to get into :)
- you can use simple tricks, e.g.
English "I am". If you flip the letters around and replace "m" with an "n" you get "ani"
English "no". If you replace the "n" with an "l", you get the hebrew "lo"
Take the wise "Yoda" from Star Wars. Hebrew "yodea" ("I know"). Now you do know why a Spielberg picked the name "Yoda" for the guy. And during watching season 4, you are now able to figure out, what the frustrated "yodati" means (sisters realize they have mistakenly put the wrong fuel in their car)
Words directly taken from or similar to German e.g. cremeschnitt (German "Kremschnitte") or knedela (German "Knödel")
Words similar to English e.g. afraid => afrid.
Of cause I have no grasp of the hebrew grammatical system. But - I optimistically assume :funny: -I kind of understand what people are saying. Kind of fun to play with hebrew :).
G.B.:
In Episode 4...
-Teams continue with the previously-described human statue task, while Dor & Sapir and Ben & Ori finish up the Detour.
-Some teams are lucky enough to get all 10 Euros from a single tourist
-Ben & Ori have the most difficult time finding a local to cooperate, putting them into last place.
-Teams are told to find the place where White Smoke appears, referring to the Piazza Porta Pia near the Vatican City
-I'm not 100% sure, but I think Lee & Tal actually wandered into the Vatican City itself. Whoops?
-In a carbon copy of the basket-stacking task we've seen on plenty of international editions (Which, again, is not a bad thing - Israeli viewers have not seen this yet), one team member must make a stack of plastic baskets high enough to reach a bowl of Tiramisu hanging six metres above the ground. After succeeding, they are treated to Tiramisu and Italian Coffee before getting the next clue
-Raz tries jumping for his Tiramisu, and ends up smashing his leg on the baskets.
-Monada starts climbing but gets too scared, so Adriano has to do it instead.
-Naomi & Hen arrive amongst the top three, but they continually fail the task, presumably due to their heavier weight. More and more teams pass them until they eventually finish the task all the way in last place.
-Teams are told to travel to Sant'Agnese in Agone, a church in Rome, but we don't see any teams arriving yet.
Maanca:
These 3-part episodes are confusing, I keep forgetting what day the week the Pit Stop part is :funny:
~Goes to check the finishing order of the leg~
Oh right, that's next time.
At least it allows for more tasks, it would be impossible to cram all this into an hour like we're used to in the west!
