Television personality Ophira Assayag is gearing up for the new season of the Israeli version of 'The Masked Singer,' set to premiere soon on Keshet 12. In a recent interview, Assayag discussed the competition with new panelists Moshe Peretz and Bar Refaeli, who are joining the show. She explained her decision not to invite them to her recent 53rd birthday party, which was an all-female event attended by 150 friends.
Assayag, who has historically excelled at guessing the identities of the masked celebrities, acknowledged the challenge posed by the new additions. She noted that Peretz, a singer, and Refaeli, with her extensive network in the modeling industry, bring unique perspectives. However, Assayag asserted her own advantage, stemming from twenty years in radio, which she believes gives her an edge in recognizing voices, and her extensive experience in media and sports.
Reflecting on the show's format, Assayag expressed frustration with instances where the audience at home might know a celebrity's identity before the panel does, calling it "international nonsense." She also humorously speculated that fellow panelist Shahar Hason might be trying to deceive them. Assayag emphasized her commitment to the show's secrecy agreements, stating that while she would be disappointed if a friend was hiding behind a mask and she didn't guess it, she understands the necessity of the confidentiality, adding, "I don't fight, I have enough people to fight with."
Assayag anticipates that the upcoming season will feature a high caliber of Israeli celebrities, from childhood acquaintances to well-known figures, making it engaging for the entire family. She hinted that the sheer number of well-known personalities participating would impress viewers.
