Model and TV personality Bar Refaeli is joining the judging panel for the fifth season of the reality show "The Masked Singer," set to premiere this Saturday. She will be joined by singer Moshe Peretz, alongside returning judges Ophira Assayag, Tzadi Tzarfati, and Shahar Hason. Refaeli was reportedly in negotiations to host "The Voice" on a rival channel earlier this year but ultimately chose "The Masked Singer."
In an interview at the show's launch event, Refaeli explained her decision, stating that "The Masked Singer" excited her as one of the "most fun" shows, promising viewers a dynamic they haven't seen on screen. She preferred the panel role over hosting "The Voice" because it allows her to be more "relaxed" and express her personality rather than being constantly "collected and precise."
Refaeli acknowledged comments from Ophira Assayag suggesting the public would see a different Bar Refaeli. Refaeli expressed surprise, noting "this is me," but believes the show provides her with a platform to be her authentic self, comparing the experience to being with friends at home. She admitted that if she had the choice, she would prefer no one to know anything about her, but feels the show allows her true personality to emerge.
When asked about a hypothetical "Masked Singer" costume, Refaeli humorously suggested a large, masculine, non-feminine, non-sexy rhinoceros, the opposite of her modeling image. She confirmed her children will watch the show, a significant factor in her decision, and that they are accustomed to their mother's fame. While she never desired fame, she wanted to be a successful model, which inherently involves celebrity. She expressed hope for her daughters to pursue careers that make them happy, adding that modeling is "the best job in the world, approximately."
Refaeli is enjoying her return to television, admitting she didn't realize how much she missed it. She looks forward to future surprises, stating, "Life doesn't stop surprising me," and wishes for continued surprises.
