Any hint to come? The Peking Express finale left the network with a particularly important question

 

When Peking Express started, many saw it as a huge potential. Finally something new that the Israelis haven't really come across yet. So how did it happen that in the end we conclude a big reality show with almost no media "buzz"? | Final summary

Let's start from the end. Three pairs reached the Peking Express final. All three are strong, all three are worthy, but only one won first place. So far it sounds like another reality show season finale, doesn't it? So it's not. This time we summarize a big reality show with almost no media "buzz". A rather unusual event in Israel. So what actually happened here? We'll get to tha

, Ram and Tal, Shira and Maor and Ili and Mitar, simply three great and strong castings. I don't think anyone had a doubt that they would be the last three, and even when there were other and weaker couples, the three of them in my mind simply held the show on their shoulders and provided a lot of interest, funny moments, or simply did most of the tasks as they were told. Even when some did some drama, it was dwarfed by the dramas of the eliminated couples before them, who threatened every third task to withdraw from the race.

So for those who missed it, in the final episode we saw the couples compete against each other in a match that is entirely built on the purity of the dragon. Creating a human dragon from dozens of people, meeting the family members of the couples and crying together we'll call it "dragon tears" (because how can a final episode be without some emotion), getting figurines in the shape of a dragon and the last clue that was hidden in one of them. I won't lie that in the last few episodes I had a slight fear of the bias of the competition, such as the sudden solution of some of the tasks by the participants, or one of the couples getting into a taxi when they have no money without the driver telling them that he woul

So let's assume we "slide over" these cases, and say it's okay. I'm still sorry for one thing. It's a shame that the plan's path was crooked. The timing of the broadcast, the spreading of the screen time and the linking of some episodes day after day (as if anyone is comfortable following this way). Many questions arise after the final episode, which will mainly affect the most essential question in the network. Will they be able to develop another season? Or will they also give up on this format after they "gave up" the race for a million? From watching the final episode online, the answer is clear, but it is not clear if it is feasible.

The premise is that the network obviously tried to cover the expenses for filming the episodes, but this desire sometimes conflicted with the desires of the Israeli viewer. The audience is simply tired of heartbreaking stories every quarter of an hour since Kochav was born 5. It is impossible to show so many meaningless fights or whining of the couples when they complain about each other, when the big problems are still at home for many of the viewers and the thoughts are still in Gaz
