Two of Israel's most anticipated reality television shows, "Survivor" and "Goulstar," will not premiere head-to-head as initially feared. "Survivor," a flagship program for Reshet 13, aims to boost the channel's ratings amidst ownership changes and a renewed bid for dominance against rival Keshet 12. The new season, hosted by Guy Zuarz, will feature 10 anonymous contestants alongside 10 celebrities, including former "Big Brother" stars Shi Hay and Linor Sbinik, "Love New" contestant Lir Oz, Stefan Lager, and "The Patriots" panelist Avi Shoshan.
Reports of a potential romance between Shi Hay and Linor Sbinik during filming were denied. Avi Shoshan's casting and TikTok star Gal Tamam's participation are also expected to generate buzz. "Goulstar," a popular show from HOT produced by ADD, had reportedly caused pressure from Reshet 13 to avoid a direct scheduling conflict. This new season of "Goulstar" is considered by some to be its best yet, with a cast including Erez Isakov, Ron Nesher, Liam Golan, "Survivor" contestant Itay Regev, Liran Strauber, Liron Berkovich, Giovanni Rosso, and Itay Shechter.
Erez Isakov, leveraging his "Big Brother" success, is also set to star in a "Goulstar" film in Las Vegas alongside Hollywood actor Ian Zering, known from "Beverly Hills, 90210." To prevent a ratings battle, HOT has decided to postpone the "Goulstar" premiere by several weeks. Originally slated for October-November, the show will now air in November-December, a move anticipated to be a win-win situation for both networks and a relief for Reshet 13.
