Australian Actor Nate Buzzolic Eliminated from Israel's Dancing with the Stars

Australian actor Nate Buzzolic, known for his vocal support of Israel since October 7, was eliminated from the Israeli reality show "Dancing with the Stars" on July 25. Performing alongside his mentor and dance partner Julia Shahar, Buzzolic surprised the audience by dancing with former captive Daniela Gelboa, who sang and danced with them on stage. Despite the emotional atmosphere and strong support, Buzzolic was unable to advance to the live broadcast stage of the competition.

During the judges' critiques, Buzzolic expressed feeling out of place among the other contestants, saying, "The other couples here are so amazing at this stage, I feel like I don't belong here." He thanked the judges and his dance partners tearfully, highlighting the personal growth and motivation he gained throughout the competition. Buzzolic emphasized his deep connection to Israel, stating his commitment to continue advocating for the country and its people.

Julia Shahar also shared heartfelt words, praising Buzzolic's hard work and dedication, calling him an amazing person and lifelong friend. The couple has a chance to return to the competition through the upcoming "save round" scheduled for Monday after the news broadcast on Keshet 12.

The contestants advancing to the live shows include Eden Golan and Artyom Liaskovski, Shiri Maimon and Rafael Fleishman, Avishag Samberg and Ivan Denisov, Tzachi Halevi and Nina Sol, Bar Brimer and Sena Sokol, Amir Banai and Romi Nof, Dian Schwartz and Lotem Madmoni, and Noa Cohen with Eitan Krips.
