  • Rosenblum finds that celebrities behave differently when masked on the show.

Ido Rosenblum, host of the popular Israeli reality show "The Masked Singer," shared insights into the upcoming fourth season, highlighting the addition of new panelists Moshe Peretz and Bar Refaeli. Rosenblum expressed satisfaction with the new lineup, noting their quick integration into the show's dynamic, which he described as fun and less pressured than other competition formats.

Despite the show's lighthearted nature, Rosenblum admitted to occasionally trying to guess the identities of the masked celebrities, though he often finds himself unable to pinpoint them. He mentioned that the panelists sometimes miss the mark with their guesses, a situation he finds amusing, especially since he has a slight advantage standing near the masked performers.

Reflecting on past seasons, Rosenblum recalled Haim Cohen's reveal as one of the most surprising and enjoyable moments, as he hadn't expected the chef to participate. He also shared an anecdote about mistakenly believing his friend Leon Rosenberg was behind a mask, only to discover it was someone he didn't know personally, illustrating how celebrities often behave differently when masked.

Rosenblum emphasized that the show's appeal lies in the element of surprise and the unique way celebrities can express themselves under the anonymity of a mask, which allows them to act more freely than they might in public. He stated that the magic of the show culminates in the reveal, where even confident guesses can be proven wrong until the mask is removed.
