International model and host Bar Refaeli is stepping into a new role as a panelist on the upcoming season of "The Masked Singer," which premieres this Saturday on Keshet 12. Refaeli expressed her excitement and surprise at the caliber of contestants, describing them as "e list" and "the strongest and most talented people in the country." She noted that the high quality of participants made it difficult for the panel, as they didn't want anyone to be eliminated.
Refaeli shared her initial shock upon seeing the contestants emerge from their masks, particularly the "Botox Mask" revealed on Ophira Assayag's birthday and the "Fire Ant" mask. A new twist this season allows the home audience to know the masked singer's identity while the panel remains in the dark. Refaeli finds this aspect innovative, making the audience "secret partners" with the hosts.
Discussing her fellow panelists, Refaeli described a strong, family-like dynamic. She feels particularly close to Ophira Assayag, whom she likened to a sister or mother, and praised the other panelists for their talent and the opportunity to work with them. She humorously speculated that Moshé Peretz would be the most likely panelist to be hiding under a mask due to his impressive impersonation skills.
Refaeli admitted her biggest concern is that a family member might be among the masked singers. Her immediate suspects were her parents and siblings, Dor and On. She even considered calling her mother, Tzipi, to gauge her reaction but decided against it to preserve the mystery. She has kept her participation a secret from her children and husband, wanting to enjoy the guessing game with them at home.
Refaeli described her intensive research process for guessing the singers' identities, involving hours of analyzing clues and adding details to her notes. She acknowledged being an emotional panelist, prone to crying, but emphasized the fun and game-like nature of the show, which she takes home with her and contemplates even in public.
