Two promising shows launched their new season last night (Saturday), and competed for the victory in the ratings. “The Masked Singer” of Keshet 12 and “Survival” of Network 13 were broadcast in prime time after the news, and the opening episode of Keshet managed to overtake the season opener on the competitor channel.
The masked singer achieved 18.9% ratings (496 thousand viewers), compared to the new season of survival which achieved only 15.2%. (428 thousand viewers).
The big battle for the ratings is particularly significant in the opening episode of the season, which usually predicts the success of the programs later on. Keshet 12 did beat Network 13, but the figures for the opening episode of the season (18.9%) were lower than the figures for the previous launch, so the masked singer achieved 19.4%.
In the opening episode of “The Masked Singer” viewers first met the spider, the snail, the cat, the pineapple, the cotton candy and the frog. After the panel members almost unanimously agreed on the identity of the frog as Tobiah Tsefir, they were surprised to find out that it was Yoram Arbel, one of the top sports broadcasters in Israel.

Survival is back in a new season hosted by Guy Zo Eretz, with 18 anonymous contestants who arrive on a deserted island and compete among themselves for the coveted title – the last survivor, and of course, a million shekels.
The two prime time programs were launched against the background of the end of the World Cup that diverted the viewers here 11, which broke ratings records in the last month thanks to the broadcasts of the games, and even twice overtook the news edition of Keshet 12. The grand final will take place today, after which the major channels will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and broadcast more expensive and promising programs , after last month the competition was impossible.
