Media personality Judi Nir Moses has ignited controversy during the premiere episode of the new season of "HaMisehach HaMefatze'ach VIP" (The Winning Kitchen VIP) on Keshet 12. Moses, participating in the show with her friend Ron Levin, made a remark about people's weight that has drawn criticism.
During the episode, scheduled to air Tuesday, Moses stated that if she saw someone who was overweight, she would suggest they go on a diet after a half-hour waiting period. She clarified her intention was not to offend, but rather to offer gentle advice, saying, "You have beautiful eyes, why don't you go on a diet?" Moses described herself as someone who "comes to do good in the world" and "pokes her nose into things," believing her comments were for the person's own benefit.
Fellow contestant and media personality Avi Gilad criticized Moses's remarks. Gilad, who is participating with his ex-partner Nofer Ilon, commented on Moses's apparent lack of self-judgment, calling it both a potential problem and a great freedom. He added that if one is free from self-judgment, "it would be best to have a lot of money."

Alongside Moses and Levin, the pairs include the celebrity participant and husband Yogev Yiftah, Avi Gilad and ex-partner Nofer Ilon, Itay Turgeman and brother-in-law Eli Mazoze, and Stav Naftali and mother Rachel Oren.
