  • Ilanit Levi threatened to quit entertainment if her son Liam Golan is "The Tomato" on "The Masked Singer."
  • Guessing panelist Liron Zaid changed his guess for "The Tomato" from Liam Golan to Eliad Nachum.
  • Ilanit Levi's daughter Elin Golan hinted at her brother Liam's participation in the show.
  • Liron Zaid believes Rona Lee Shimon is "The Onion" and Alona Saar or Shahar Tabuch is "The Pepper."
  • Ilanit Levi suggested Michal Ansky is "The Pepper," linking her to other masked contestants.
  • Lior Kalfon was humorously questioned by Liron Zaid about being "The Elephant."

Host Ilanit Levi has vehemently denied rumors that her son, Liam Golan, is participating in the current season of "The Masked Singer" disguised as "The Tomato." Speaking on her show "Galit and Ilanit," Levi stated that if it were indeed her son, she would retire from the entertainment industry entirely. She explained that if Liam were on the show, she wouldn't have been chosen for her "Cotton Candy" costume, suggesting it would be a form of revenge for not sharing her participation with him.

Levi's daughter, Elin Golan, had previously hinted at Liam's involvement by expressing hurt that he hadn't confided in her about his secret role. However, Levi dismissed the possibility, asserting that Liam would not have believed she was "Cotton Candy" if he wasn't also a participant. Meanwhile, guessing panelist Liron Zaid, who arrived with a box of tomatoes to confront Levi, has shifted his own guess for "The Tomato" from Liam Golan to singer Eliad Nachum, citing clues like a guitar with the Beitar Jerusalem logo and Nachum's song "Or" (Light).

Zaid also presented his theories for other masked contestants. He believes Rona Lee Shimon is "The Onion," referencing her past breakup with Static and the lyric "I dance through life." He also suggested Alona Saar as a possibility for "The Pepper," based on a clue about preferring afternoon weddings and the letter 'G' potentially referring to her father, Gideon. For "The Pepper," Zaid considered children's entertainer Shahar Tabuch, linking him to "Kingdom of Children" and "Sky High Festival." Levi, however, proposed that Michal Ansky, daughter of Alex and Sherry Ansky, is "The Pepper," connecting the pepper, tomato, and onion as "children of" the Ansky family.

Later, actor Lior Kalfon joined the show, whom Zaid suspects is "The Elephant" in the "Porcelain Shop" mask. Kalfon humorously denied any involvement, stating he was unaware of the rumors. The segment also touched upon other guesses, including Harel Moyal and Tomer G.
