After harsh criticism, Guy Hochman gets a touching backstage surprise

By שיר לוי
Translated & summarized from Srugim by baba
The story · English

Guy Hochman left the previous episode of "Dancing with the Stars" feeling badly disappointed after earning only 18 points from the judges, including a score of 3 from Medved Dvir. The panel said that while he brought energy, humor, and charisma to the stage, his actual dancing fell short and was not a precise ballroom performance.

A preview for tonight's episode shows that the disappointment gives way to an emotional moment backstage. Right after he finishes his routine and steps off the floor, Hochman is greeted by his two children, Oz and Rom, who run to him and give him a loving hug.

The scene is described as especially moving and as a reminder that some things matter more than a score. Despite the criticism and poor marks, the hug from his children appears to have been the most meaningful part of the evening for him.

Hochman will return to the dance floor tonight in an attempt to improve his score and impress the judges again. His next performance will air on Keshet 12.
