  • Chef Asaf Granit shared an AI-generated image of himself as a "survivor" on Instagram.
  • The image sparked speculation about Granit's potential involvement in the new "Survivor" season on Reshet 13.
  • Granit reportedly tried to prevent Moshik Roth's departure from "Game of Chefs" after 12 years.
  • The Israeli production of "Survivor" has an estimated budget of 27 million shekels per season.
  • The new season of "Survivor" is set to premiere on Reshet 13 this Saturday.

Chef Asaf Granit, known for his tough demeanor in the kitchen, has sparked curiosity among his followers by posting an AI-generated image of himself as a 'survivor' on a tropical island. The image, shared on his Instagram, shows him in torn survivor attire with a stern look, prompting speculation about his potential involvement with the upcoming season of the reality show "Survivor," which is set to premiere on Reshet 13 this Saturday.

Granit's playful post comes amid behind-the-scenes turmoil at Reshet 13's cooking show, "Game of Chefs." In July, the network decided to part ways with veteran judge Moshik Roth after 12 years. Granit reportedly engaged in lengthy discussions with Reshet 13 CEO Asaf Rappaport in an attempt to reverse the decision, but Roth was ultimately let go.

The new season of "Survivor" is highly anticipated, with viewers eager for the strategic gameplay, alliances, and tribal councils. The production of "Survivor" is known to be one of Israel's most expensive and complex television ventures. While the American version boasts a budget of around $35 million per season, the Israeli production is estimated to cost approximately 27 million shekels. This significant budget is largely allocated to the extensive and complex logistics required for filming overseas for extended periods with a large crew in challenging, isolated conditions.

Although the likelihood of Granit actually competing on "Survivor" in the Philippines is considered very low, his social media activity demonstrates his knack for generating attention and creating buzz.
