The Blue team was accused of being "Producer's Pets", with someone claiming to be from production saying that producers fed them answers and solutions to tasks and worked behind the scenes to keep them in the race. When they finished in last place on a leg, the host said they were eliminated. Then later that night in their hotel room, someone (I think it was the host?) knocked on their door and gave them the next clue, saying they actually were still in the race and that the next leg started right now. They called it a twist, but audiences saw it as them keeping in the popular team by changing the rules. This was not helped by the fact that they won like seven legs in a row immediately following this. On the flip side, they DID finish in Show content4th
Me, however, I don't buy that. THEIR luck seems believable, and there really didn't seem to be any evidence that could be seen of producer meddling. When they showed up in 1st over and over again, they didn't MAGICALLY poof into 1st place like Regev does.

Maybe they edited it out of order? Maybe Regev and Helen really did finish the task first, but they made it look like they didn’t to create drama. But like you said, that’s manipulative editing, which is stupid and pointless. In fact, let’s talk about HaMerotz editing, because some things bother me. For example, they’ll show teams doing tasks at the same time (like the trivia challenge) even though there’s clearly only one station. Why not establish that there’s a queue and show teams waiting for their next turn? (I think I know why: that’s when teams film themselves, like we saw in the recent recap episode.) And as for pitstops, despite showing simultaneous footage of two teams racing there, we almost never see two teams on the mat at the same time. There are some exceptions, but it’s very rare. The one that stood out to me the most was in Russia. Regev and Helen arrived at the Yield about 8 seconds after Daniel and Eliyahu, so it seems logical that they’d arrive at the pitstop around the same time. But they arrive at the pitstop separately. Do they make teams wait for one team to leave the mat before letting another team on? And if so, why do that some times but not others? I just want some transparency, that’s all.
G.B.:
To be fair, this version likes to do more one-on-one discussion at the mat so they like to have only one team there at a time if it doesn't affect the results. I don't really mind that.

Yeah, that’s true.
Also I was going through international threads earlier and I found a Q&A with Talia and Koby after Hamerotz 3 ended. I wonder if we could try to get a Q&A from a team on this season.
