History[edit]
The show is hosted by Galit Gutmann, one of Israel's leading models. The biggest difference between HaDugmaniyot and ANTM is the live finale aired as the end of each season where the already eliminated contestants get voted back into the final. Season 1 contestant that was voted back was Evelin Piotrowska. Season 2 were Christin Fridman and Natali Sabag. Season 3 was Tslil Sela and Rita Os. Another difference is the audience choosing the winner of the show unlike in former eliminations, which are all based solely on the panel of judges' decision.
Arab-Israeli Niral Karantinaji won the second installment of the show.[2] During the show, Karantinaji argued with a fellow competitor, Ethiopian-Israeli Mimi Tadesa, who called her "a terrorist."[3] In the end, the audience choose Karantinaji as the winner of the series, while Tadesa achieved the second runner-up position.
