Just like the Real World in the United States, our producers introduced some new characters.
Gabi and Liza arrived on Aug. 24, while Sara is scheduled to come on Aug. 28.
It was almost as if they were written into a television series to replace characters whose contracts ended. For their first weekend in Ramla, Gabi and […]

After we get our bear hugs and welcome hats, we’re off to the Café for Momo’s favorite iced coffee and [middle-eastern style] danishes. We meet Erez and Chavva [our mother] at the arrival […]

Our trip began at JFK International Airport at 11:30am on Sunday August 6th. The eight guys from the group met at the airport to fly together on Israir thanks to the free airfare from Momo. Let me make it clear, Israir sucks. The planes are old and falling apart, and the […]
