TAR ISRAEL 6 - (HaMerotz LaMillion 6) LIVE SHOW DISCUSSION (ongoing)!

<< < (3/50) > >>

Jai Ho:
Just watched the first third of the first episode before my coffee got cold. Ah, those super long Merotz episodes.

So far, my assessment from the first 30-minutes glance(admitted bias towards F/F teams because American TAR could get some casting lessons from Merotz)

Love:
Hanni/Avivit - they seem to be pretty competent and they deal with high-stress situations in their daily lives. Hanni is a little extra, but so far I think it's endearing.
Evelyn/Tohar - the story about losing their baby was a heart breaking one - losing a child is not something unique to them, but they seem to be really genuine and sweet.
Mor/Mor - despite the fact that they have the same name which makes it confusing, I believe that they along with Helen/Regev were the first at the construction task.
Nimrod/Yonatan - they're so nerdy, but I like the fact that they enunciate clearly so I don't have to be constantly reading to keep up with them. I hope they do well.

Like:
Daniel/Eliyahu - They don't seem like the super-alpha-males that dominate so many seasons of American TAR. I like their derpyness. Daniel is the hotter one.
Anne/Yarden - They seem fun. Anne wears WAY too much makeup.
Helen/Regev - They also seem fun, and I like a couple that can make fun of each other and laugh about it.
Adi/Meitar - I thought that they were a gay couple at first, but Adi just has a short-ish hairstyle and kind of a masculine face, but seems to be really down-to-earth. Meitar is gorgeous. Their intro was really cute.
Yossi/Udi - Giving off Tiltil/Mizrahi vibes, lovable dads. Although Udi, in the intro spot - what the **** is wrong with you? You want your children to be proud of you, but then you go on the Amazing Race and the first thing you do is burst into tears and walk off-camera? (Totally joking, but I hope I don't have to watch a whole season of guys crying)

Dislike:
No'a/Ma'ayan - The rare F/F team that I dislike. They seem too into themselves, with Ma'Ayan's description of herself as an Instagram model. No'a seems somewhat tolerable.
Omer/Neta - Omer seems like a giant tool, and Neta comes off as an airhead. They struck me as bratty.
Jessica/Asaf - No. Can't stand Jessica's voice and Asaf's smugness. I know that exes make for "good TV" but that whole ice-skating to Frozen bit...just no.

G.B.:
Are these (Wikipedia's) the spellings we're going with? Are we sure it's Eliyahu? Maybe it's just me, but I swear on the show they're pronouncing it just "Eliya"

(I just ask because if I have to change the spelling of a name later, like I did with Alla's in season 4, it's a lot of tedious wiki work)

Xoruz:
Episode 2 is online; however, when clicked the video says that the "content isn't available in your country" but still plays the audio. There are other ways to watch the episode (I know I can't publicly post links), so here are some thoughts:

Hard not to feel bad for the cops after struggling so much with the first task (even the clue giver comforted them) to losing the face off at the end of the episode.

So weird watching the show do a task at Washington Square Park three weeks after attending the live start. The spot the scale was set up was nearly the same spot where I waited for the TAR 30 teams to arrive.

Was hilarious watching the teams ask tourists and NYU graduates in full robes to volunteer. Also hilarious to see the confusion of the teams when they asked for people's weights in kilos only to get a response in pounds.

During the face off, one of the models (don't know names yet) stepped of the side of the platform as opposed to being pulled of building.  :funny:

No preview at the end and no full intro.

GB, according to a post on the show's Facebook, Eliyahu is the correct spelling. Also, here are the locations so far:

Newark Liberty International
Central Park
Washington Square Park
Bush Terminal in Sunset Park (Face Off and Yield vote)
Élan Flowers (Last clue before episode ended)

Maanca:
I thought the first part of Leg 2 wasn't on until the 28th

Xoruz:
It aired yesterday. Only found out by looking at the show's Facebook.
