Reality television contestant Judy Nir Moses stated that she would tell an overweight person they are fat, but only after a delay of half an hour, and would preface the remark by complimenting their face and suggesting a diet. Moses, who is set to appear on the new season of "MKR The Winning Kitchen" on Keshet 12, explained her approach to criticism and judgment during a meal with other contestants. She claimed she tries to be subtle, saying, "I don't want to hurt people." Moses elaborated that she would wait 30 minutes before telling someone they are fat, adding, "You have a beautiful face, why don't you go on a diet? Gently."

Other contestants reacted strongly to her comments. Rachel, mother of Stav Neftali, questioned Moses's right to make such pronouncements to a stranger. Moses responded that she sees herself as someone who "comes to do good in the world" and is therefore entitled to interfere. When another participant argued that commenting on someone's appearance is inherently judgmental and exclusionary, Moses insisted it was "for his own good."

The exchange highlights the tense dynamics expected in the upcoming season of the show, which features diverse couples competing both in cooking and in interpersonal interactions around the table.
