RON SHAHAR: Eleven couples left for the biggest TV game in the world, six remain. TONIGHT ON HAMEROTZ LAMILLION.... RON SHAHAR: The competition is getting tough and each of the couples will give everything to reach the final five. INTRO RON SHAHAR: The crews are on their way to Beijing's Beiying Studios, where the next clue awaits them. Skip INNA: To me! BAR: Shit! RON SHAHAR: Two crews are still performing the Detour mission. Bar and Inna in the featherball mission. INNA: Bar, I'm not sure your method is good, we're in a catatonic situation. RON SHAHAR: And Oren and Alon, who were delayed with the U-Turn, are still carrying out their second Detour mission. ALON: Wait, Do. I don't understand him. RON SHAHAR: Currently approaching the next destination are Moti and Pundak and Akiva and Anaelle. ANAELLE: Come on. MOTI: You have to take a taxi to Beiying Studios. C-PUNDAK: We left the Detour mission, we were still number one, first in the "Race for a Million" and I am convinced that I will reach the final. Skip C-MOTI: Don't say things you'll regret. C-PUNDAK: No, I'm convinced I'll make it to the finals. PUNDAK: Here, here, here. C-PUNDAK: Our data to reach the final is much better than everyone else's. Skip C-ANAELLE: Being among the final six couples left is a tremendous privilege, which we just greatly appreciate, and we don’t take it for granted at all that we are going to go to the finals, absolutely not. Skip ANAELLE: How cute she is. C-ANAELLE: We really hope and pray because it's scary, it's scary. You really want to. On the other hand you can not know what will happen. Skip C-AKIVA: It can happen, but just as much it can not happen. C-ANAELLE: Right. C-AKIVA: You have to be focused on every task and not give up at any moment. C-ANAELLE: Really. C-AKIVA: Because one small mistake in some task and that's it. Skip PUNDAK: Ask the cops for a moment. Skip PUNDAK: Let's go in, this is the compound. MOTI: Yes, but it is huge, Idan. Skip C-MOTI: We have reached our destination. C-PUNDAK: Now Moti has found himself two Chinese friends and they tell him like this "go, there". We run after them for a hundred meters. Skip C-PUNDAK: Go there, go there, and he ran after them. MOTI: It’s not this. PUNDAK: It’s not this, yes. MOTI: Everyone is pointing in a different direction. Come, come, Idan. C-PUNDAK: I'm losing my mind already, I'm telling him, Moti just leave these two dummies. MOTI: Where is it? Around. Skip MOTI: Crazy, drove rabbi crazy. Skip C-AKIVA: We reach the area of the studios. C-ANAELLE: Studios, yes. So we stopped two girls, they just suddenly suggested, come with us. C-AKIVA: We'll take you. Skip ANAELLE: What modesty, she really is our GPS. Wow, wow, wow, some more stairs. They don't know that I climbed the Great Wall of China today. God forbid. C-AKIVA: They took us in a way that really locals know, like someone would come to the village of the RA, I would show him the shortcuts, like that. AKIVA: It could open up a gap even more than a mission. Skip ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE ANAELLE: God save, this is your time to decipher what they want from us. Who wants to break the glass? RON SHAHAR: A Roadblock task is a task that only one of the partners can perform. The team members must divide the Roadblock tasks equally throughout the entire race. The next Roadblock task is a tribute to an ancient Chinese custom in which the groom has to prove that he is worthy of marrying the bride. RON SHAHAR: This groom's test is conducted by the bridesmaid, the bride's best friend, since the bride is not allowed to meet. The bridesmaid will task the team member performing the checkpoint with two different tasks that would prove his love for the bride. In the first task he will have to apply red lipstick on his lips and write on a white sheet of paper "I love you". In the second task, the groom will have to brush his teeth with a spicy and burning wasabi toothpaste. Only after the groom has completed the tasks will the bridesmaid meet him with the bride who will give him the next hint. Well, how is he? So-so. ANAELLE: Come on, you do it. AKIVA: I'll do it. C-AKIVA: I love being a groom, but her groom. ANAELLE: Woe is me, where have we come to? Skip ANAELLE: My groom is here. Skip ANAELLE: Lord have mercy. ANAELLE: Wow, how stunning, Shoshi. ANAELLE: I am very troubled about this matter. Show her your ring first. Where is the ring? Ring. AKIVA: Okay. C-ANAELLE: I wasn't worried because he had a ring. And I stood there by the side, I did not move to the right or to the left of the task. Show her the ring first. Then do the task. C-AKIVA: No problem. C-ANAELLE: Just so that things were clear to everyone. ANAELLE: Pull your lips, AKIVA: In red lipstick. ANAELLE: In red lipstick. AKIVA: I thought I'd be able to write it small. ANAELLE: Shoshi, chop-chop. Do it like mwah mwah mwah, fast, fast. Great. C-ANAELLE: It says "I love you". And he had to put on lipstick and write "I love you" in kisses. ANAELLE: Beautiful, Shoshi, you’re a cannon. Skip ANAELLE: You have very beautiful lips. C-ANAELLE: He had a very beautiful red, which died all around. C-AKIVA: You don't mean it. C-ANAELLE: No, it’s... C-AKIVA: Do you really think I'm beautiful? C-ANAELLE: You did it very skillfully. C-AKIVA: Okay. C-ANAELLE: Look, no... C-AKIVA: Politician. C-ANAELLE: Fine, you don't go with red every day. C-AKIVA: Thank God. ANAELLE: You look like the court jester. PUNDAK: Come on, the box. MOTI: Come on, bro. PUNDAK AND MOTI, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE MOTI: Roadblock. Who wants to break the glass? PUNDAK: Come on, I'm doing it. MOTI: Do you want to do it? PUNDAK: Yes, so come on. MOTI: Come on. The house of the Chinese bride. C-PUNDAK: Because I'm a family man, marriage material, and I'm looking to get married... C-MOTI: I can't hear this, I can't. C-PUNDAK: Want to... C-MOTI: Ahhhhhh... MOTI: Come, come, Idan. C-PUNDAK: Wanting three cute little daughters, with pigtails and dressing them up in pink, we decided I'd do it. MOTI: Come on, come on, tick it off, bro. C-PUNDAK: I knocked on a house. A bridesmaid opened for me, stunning by the way. I had to convince my bridesmaid.. that I was worthy of the bride. C-MOTI: Mwah, mwah...Like a dumbass, instead of starting to kiss like... does it like that, mwah. Puts more lipstick. Mwah. C-MOTI: What all of them? What all of them, start flowing. Skip ANAELLE: This idea is actually very beautiful, you know? If someone wants to propose to someone, I'll tell them, it's very beautiful, isn't it? C-ANAELLE: With his lips he says I love you. You don't need to climb some mountain and hang signs, I love you, marry me? Or on some plane with billboards. Something small like that, you writing with kisses, something from you and that, in my opinion, is a very nice investment. ANAELLE: Wow, but that's honestly a great idea, you know? Because it is with all the man's love that he truly tells her that he loves her. C-ANAELLE: I would greatly appreciate it if men did this to the girls of Israel. Skip PUNDAK: Kisser, what “kisses”? C-PUNDAK: I want to confess here that I won the title of Tel Aviv's leading kisser. Skip C-PUNDAK: Now I don't kiss everyone, I don't kiss and tell either. C-MOTI: No... C-PUNDAK: But... C-MOTI: Distribution of SMSes. MOTI: Every girl he sees, he does like... C-PUNDAK: I'm known as the kisser, Idan the kisser, I have phrases, example, did you kiss her all the way? MOTI: Everywhere, yes. C-PUNDAK: But the bridesmaid, she had a second thought because she went, wait, wait, wait, maybe I'll take him for myself, if he kisses so well, I won't give him the bride. There was a dramatic scene. C-MOTI: What to do, she's an amazing girl, beautiful, bombshell, looks great...but clearly blind. Skip CARMIT: Careful. Here’s a taxi. OSNAT: Come, come. Carmit, come on, give me a hand. Come on, I'll help you. Beiying. Beiying. OSNAT: No, let's ask some Chinese to write for us, someone who understands English. Come, come! Maybe he knows this. Skip CARMIT: I will hail a taxi in the meantime. C-CARMIT: When I was young I was a fighter. We also need to reach first place, everyone has already touched first place. Only us that haven’t. OSNAT: But we, we still have to wait an hour. C-OSNAT: We still have the waiting time we have to wait, it's a really unpleasant feeling. OSNAT: Come on, come on. C-OSNAT: But today we will give everything we have. ADELE: You have to get to Beiying Studios. Skip C-ADELE: We have already been to the most classic places, third, fifth, third, sixth. Skip C-ADELE: No, we've been to all the places around, you don't have to be the first ones all the time and go crazy. Now towards the end, we will go up and up. Skip C-ADELE: Right now we don't plan to go down, we only plan to go up. Skip INNA: One, two, three. Skip INNA: Bar, you’re exaggerating as much as you want, calm down. C-BAR: We were stuck in the park for a long, long time, I saw everyone pass us by. C-BAR: And... somewhere I came very close to being a broken vessel. INNA: Bar, listen, you do it fast. BAR: Okay. INNA: You do it fast and you don't jump. Then jump with one or two hands, but not quickly. You bounce it and it gets lost. INNA: One, two, three. INNA: Two. BAR: Sorry. INNA: Bar, more gently. C-BAR: I was at the level of another moment like tears were already falling from so much nerves. BAR: How do we do 25, mother? INNA: It’s alright, relax, we'll do it. C-INNA: We are somewhere every time, at some stage of the day, every time in the same state of stress and mental lock, every day. INNA: Bar, concentrate for a moment. BAR: I’m concentrating. INNA: No face either, but no one’s not dead. C-BAR: When I reach my threshold and I start to lose hope and I start to be so stressed and so stressed and so impulsive that it is very, very difficult to deal with me in these situations. INNA: Listen, I'm giving you a delivery, give it back, I'll take care of it. Okay? Bar, listen. Very slowly. BAR: Okay. INNA: As slow as you can, okay? BAR: Okay, I'll go with the "oho". INNA: Okay, good. Bar, come on, I'm starting. Gentle and slow. INNA: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. C-INNA: Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly. In the end it worked. INNA: Come on, Bar, now we're succeeding. C-BAR: I was on the level of a broken vessel, and Inna was the only one who picked me up and gathered me up. INNA: 25, one last... Very good. C-INNA: We managed to reach 25 counts. Yoo, come on, let's get out of here. C-BAR: I am a person who, no matter what, no matter what I want, I will reach and I will achieve, no matter what. C-INNA: Oho. Skip INNA: Bar, the clue, the clue. Skip BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN LAST PLACE BAR: You have to get to Beiying Studios. INNA: Here, here, here. BAR AND INNA, CURRENTLY IN FIFTH PLACE INNA: Wow, this mission, oh my God. it's like...that you see everyone passing through you. It's just not, it's hard to function. C-BAR: It's a chain of mistakes. You start one mistake, it's very, very hard for you to get out of it. C-INNA: And you are dragged. You are being dragged back. C-BAR: It leads to this, leads to that, leads to that. One mistake leads to a problem of lack of time, leads to crazy pressure, leads to a situation where your head is not functioning, you are unable to perform actions properly. BAR: I'm so furious that all the couples are bypassing us. C-INNA: Time takes on a different perspective here. I mean, you're also behind, literally. Skip ANAELLE: What are we welcoming on this? AKIVA: No welcoming on toothpaste. C-AKIVA: The second step on the way to the heart of the Chinese bride was to brush teeth with wasabi for a full minute. ANAELLE: One minute you need, so wait. Skip MOTI: One minute, okay. ANAELLE: Merde. C-ANAELLE: I know Akiva and I know that if everyone is doing fine, so Akiva will do more than okay. ANAELLE: Not thoroughly Shoshi, it's not Passover. You don't need to remove all the leaven. MOTI: Spicy? C-AKIVA: It's spicy on levels that...wow. ANAELLE: Spicy like the goulash? Less? More? Oh my god. C-AKIVA: Take the soup we drank on the first day in Hungary and triple it and it burns in your mouth. C-PUNDAK: I go to Moti, water! Like, get me water somewhere. I wanted to die, smoke was coming out of my ears, I started to cry. ANAELLE: Two, one, zero. Drink and spit. Woe are you. What, Shoshi, it's so spicy that it's hard for you to speak? Poor thing. ANAELLE: I'm sure you brushed well with your pedantry. Do...like that. Skip C-ANAELLE: And then she appeared. C-AKIVA: The bride came out. ANAELLE: Without touching. Skip C-AKIVA: Anaelle stood very close and... C-ANAELLE: Yes. C-ANAELLE: We didn't stay in that position for too long, it wasn't relevant. PUNDAK: What a thing. Look, what a beauty, Moti. C-PUNDAK: The bridesmaid brought me my beautiful bride. PUNDAK: Thank you, thank you. Agh, your sister, on the head. Thank you very much, let’s give her a kiss, shall we? C-PUNDAK: I wanted to kiss the bride too, I've never kissed... have you ever kissed a Chinese woman? C-MOTI: With a big violin? (contrabass) C-PUNDAK: She didn't have a violin. C-MOTI: Okay. C-PUNDAK: She had something else big. ANAELLE AND AKIVA, CURRENTLY IN FIRST PLACE PUNDAK AND MOTI, CURRENTLY IN SECOND PLACE MOTI: Route Info. AKIVA: You need to take a taxi to the Zhongguancun district. MOTI: An area where Chinese Jews live in a warm and small community. RON SHAHAR: The couples must now come to Zhongguancun, an area where the Chinese Jews live in a small and warm community. Here the couples will make happy as only the Israelis know how to make happy. The couple must collect ten Chinese and teach them to perform in song and dance... Want to learn to dance? RON SHAHAR: “Hava Nagila”. Their goal is to sway the Chinese with songs and dances and make the townspeople happy. Only after they complete the task will they receive the next clue. Skip ANAELLE: Shoshi, the mission’s with you? AKIVA: Yes. Skip AKIVA: Tassels, kippah outside, Jewish Jews, come on, hello, hello. AKIVA: The main thing is to be happy. That's the goal, to make you happy. C-AKIVA: I also say to Anaelle in the taxi, nice, it's Mincha time, we'll stop right by the synagogue, I’ll take the whole crowd outside, come on, dance Hava Nagila between Mincha and Ma’ariv. C-ANAELLE: Who doesn't know agency songs? Like, Hava Nagila, all Jews know the songs of the agency, Hava Nagila. ANAELLE: Show him the kippah, maybe he'll know. Skip ANAELLE: Show him. ANAELLE: Akiva, they think you are Catholic. ALON: Is this the beginning, Oren? OREN: Yes. ALON: Slowly, slowly, I can not, this is the first time. C-OREN; Wow, he spoke fast, doesn't know a word of English. C-ALON: A word. C-OREN: Yes, even yes, I think he didn't know yes. C-ALON: A single word. ALON: Wow, what a bad teacher. ALON: Slowly! OREN: Write mante chunchun.. what's the task... Alon, focus on what the style is. ALON: Right. OREN: Put a nikud, I think. Kuan kuan, write that. ALON: That's how it's written, I don't know how to translate it. I don't know, I don't know. OREN: You don't know how to write? ALON: No. C-ALON: He was upset that I wrote it without a nikud (little dots and lines on the tops and bottoms of the letters that specify exactly which vowel is used, otherwise you just need to sight read and remember which vowels get used in existing words) . I don't know how to dot, so how can I do this. OREN: Hao, write house, write house like...H, O, A, S. It is impossible without such a nikud, it is impossible to do it without a nikud. It is not possible to... ALON: Hao, hao, hao hao? Solfege skip ALON: Three, two, one, and... Skip C-ALON: For us to be stuck on one task for two hours and fifteen minutes at this stage of the competition is not normal. ALON AND OREN, CURRENTLY IN LAST PLACE ALON: You must come to the Chinese bride's house. OREN: War!!! Skip ALON: Anyone who hasn’t had to do a U-Turn mission in this game hasn’t participated in "HaMerotz LaMillion 2" as far as I'm concerned. C-ALON: I left angry, I took it personally. ALON: We did the two tasks and a Yield, Bar and Inna did too, what happened that God forbid and saved you from having to do the same as well? Will you too run a bit? She’s the one I will take care of tomorrow. C-ALON: The knowledge that you get a U-Turn is another task by itself, another Yield, just like that, the couples who say, we are strong enough and it doesn't affect, but it comes at a price, it comes at a mental price, it's a thought that you have some kind of burden on your back. ALON: Wow wow wow...how many tasks have we done today already? AD BREAK ADELE: Ah, here, these are the studios, pay him. TOM: Okay. Skip OSNAT AND CARMIT, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE OSNAT: Yoo, Roadblock. Who wants to break the glass? CARMIT: Okay, come on, come, I'll go for it. OSNAT: Alright? OSNAT: Come here. CARMIT: Come on. TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN FOURTH PLACE TOM: Okay, Roadblock. ADELE: I don't do it, you do it. TOM: I'll do it. She will be a wonderful wife for him and he will be a perfect husband for her How beautiful she is. ADELE: Apply more, apply more, mami, that she won't tell you no. Just fill it with kisses, fill it. TOM: It's OK? ADELE: Make a "V" that will be more and an "I" that will be more. Put full red, put on the lips. TOM: Enough, but you're not helping me! ADELE: What can I help you with? What can I help you with kisses? C-ADELE: Once again, these Chinese are not normal people. C-TOM: I don't think I would do that in my life, even if I grew up in China and don't know what I was, the mother of the Chinese, I wouldn't do such a thing. ADELE: Everything needs to be full, full of kisses. C-TOM: What is this ugly custom? Skip CARMIT: Wah, about the flowers. OSNAT: Here, continue here, you can't see well. C-CARMIT: This task was done on rough concrete steps. CARMIT: Wait. C-CARMIT: The approach was not comfortable, sheet, constantly pulling, constantly filling lipstick. It was just a nightmare. OSNAT: Here, here. What are you doing? CARMIT: The V. OSNAT: Oh, look at the "O". CARMIT: So say "O". OSNAT: I'm telling you, shut her up, you came here. CARMIT: I'm thinking of another "O" altogether. OSNAT: You’ve been here. That’s it, okay. Come on. C-OSNAT: We opened the sheet. Skip C-OSNAT: It turns out that on the other side of the sheet, there is a marking. OSNAT: Ahh... about that, so why didn't they say? CARMIT: Why didn't you tell us? C-CARMIT: It was drawn there in pencil, I love you, which is like in a stencil outline, closed. CARMIT: For an hour she gives us the sheet, instead of telling us like that, she sits, looks. C-OSNAT: We had to start the mission over. CARMIT: Leave me alone, I've had enough. Skip C-TOM: Even before I put the toothpaste, the brush, in my mouth, just by smelling it I already got a fever. ADELE: Brush only in front. C-TOM; I try not to touch my tongue because my tongue burns because I have a sore on my tongue. And I want to die already. ADELE: Tom, don't hold your tongue. Only in front, brush only the front. C-TOM: I don't know how she told me she was eating it. Burning thing. C-ADELE: I don't eat it, I just eat it with sushi. ADELE: Come on, mami, a little more. C-TOM: I can't stand sushi, I can't stand anything to do with China. I started brushing my teeth like a sick person, and she tells me, keep going, keep going, and I'm already dying in another second. ADELE: Okay, that’s it. C-TOM: After a minute and a half of suffering she said to me, you can stop. Thank you. TOM: What, what now? ADELE: Tom, Tom, well what? Skip ADELE: Oh my god. C-TOM: There was a mess, fireworks, craziness, booms. OSNAT: Yes, at your wedding, with God’s help. TOM: With God's help. TOM AND ADELE, CURRENTLY IN THIRD PLACE TOM; Route Info. You have to take a taxi to the district...you have to pick up ten Chinese people to teach them Hava Nagila. COMING UP NEXT... + REALLY LONG AD BREAK AKIVA: On the bridge, Shosha. ANAELLE: Come on, go. AKIVA: But in a hurry, Shosha. Skip ANAELLE: Not simple. C-ANAELLE: On the face of it, it sounds like an easy task. Like, arriving at the Jewish quarter... C-AKIVA: I said, great, I put on a kippah, take out the tassel, walk the street, in the Jewish quarter, and people are attracted to me. C-ANAELLE: What’s the problem? Skip ANAELLE: Please, please, dance with him. We need ten people. Skip C-AKIVA: Let's say that the Jewish quarter or where the Jews live in China, they live in secret. We didn't really see the synagogue... C-ANAELLE: Or they are Jews and that, but because the Chinese all look the same...there aren’t suddenly blond Chinese. ANAELLE: Wow, this is going to be hard. AKIVA: This isn’t simple. Skip C-ANAELLE: Here people are cold and rigid. That's why when we pick them up for a dance, they don't understand what we want from them.... C-AKIVA: It's also awkward, in the middle of the street to start dancing, in the middle of nowhere. They rush to places. It’s... C-ANAELLE: It's not their culture. C-AKIVA: It's really not the culture. C-ANAELLE: It's not their culture or mentality at all. AKIVA: Shosha, we need some group of people. Here we have another one. Mitzvah! C-PUNDAK: We arrived in the Jewish area called.. of Beijing. Skip C-PUNDAK: That task there was a task... C-MOTI: Like a glove. Skip PUNDAK: We have, Moti, come here already! Skip C-PUNDAK: We recruited ten people, nine men and a lady- C-MOTI: A matter of minutes. C-PUNDAK: In a matter of minutes. C-MOTI: She was very professional, knew all the words to the song. C-PUNDAK: She was truly Jewish. She knew, let's face it, we...well, we didn't quite know. C-MOTI: Didn’t know. Skip C-MOTI: You are the dumbest person I know. Really, how do you get into a song?
