Power Couple Finale Deemed 'Garbage' by Critic

The final episode of the reality show "Power Couple" has been heavily criticized, with one reviewer describing it as "garbage." The show featured three couples competing in its final council: Asi and Adi Buzaglo, who have been together for 23 years and have four children; Uri and Ana (Gofman) Banai, married for 12 years with four children; and Omri and Dorin Kanda, married for four years, with one child together and another from Omri's previous marriage. Omri Kanda, a former Hapoel Tel Aviv soccer player, was highlighted for his emotional moments during the competition.

The article also noted a trend of non-Hebrew names among the children of the contestants, with names like Leo, Milan, and Ryan appearing, contrasting with the show's original Hebrew title, "Winning Couple." The Buzaglos, despite their strong performance and self-perception as winners, did not win the competition. Their behavior, particularly Adi Buzaglo's, was described as akin to a "crime family" by commentator Sharon Haziz.

The Banai couple ultimately won the competition, earning 399,000 shekels in addition to their participation fee. The reviewer questioned the show's focus on wealth and influence, particularly from social media, suggesting it might encourage a disregard for education and traditional values. The article concluded with a strong sense of disgust, with the reviewer feeling the need to "scrub myself clean" after watching the finale, likening the experience to Sartre's concept of hell being other people.
