HaMerotz LaMillion 7

HaMerotz LaMillion 7 is the seventh season of HaMerotz LaMillion (המירוץ למיליון, lit. The Race to the Million), an Israeli reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. It featured 12 teams of two with a pre-existing relationship in a race around the world to win ₪1,000,000.

The season premiered on 15 July 2019 on Channel 13 with the finale on 22 September 2019 and was hosted by Ron Shahar.

Models Matija "Tia" Galili and Fatima "Fay" Jakite were the winners of this season.

Development and filming
In October 2018, news broke that Reshet would be filming the seventh and eighth seasons of HaMerotz LaMillion back-to-back with filming set to begin in November and into December. This is the first Amazing Race franchise to film two installments during a 54-day production.

Filming for the seventh season began on 4 November 2018, when passersby noticed a crane and Amazing Race flags on the grounds of the Knesset. Speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein later confirmed in a statement that the Knesset was being used as a filming location for HaMerotz LaMillion as part of the seventieth anniversary celebration of the establishment of the legislature. The next day, the teams were spotted at Ben Gurion Airport.

The season visited two continents and eight countries and was the first time that an Amazing Race franchise visited Nepal, a country which has yet to be visited by the original American edition.

This season also included a companion series that aired on ZOOM entitled Zoom in on the Race, which featured comedians Duvdevani and Kovach following the filming of the season.

Casting
At the end of the finale of the previous season, host Ron Shahar announced that casting for the seventh season had begun.

Marketing
Harel Group and Spring returned as sponsors for the season alongside 5 Gum, Hot, Nature Valley, Škoda Auto, Under Armour, James Richardson Corporation, Shufersal, and the Knesset.

Cast
On June 19, 2019, the cast photos were posted on the show's Instagram page with the cast bios released five days later. The cast for this season included former child actresses Noy and Hadar Karako. Tia & Fay were part of the cast of HaMerotz LaMillion 6 but were removed before filming and replaced with another team due to a missing travel visa. Haviv and Itzhak Maman were previously contestants on Eyal Golan Is Calling You. Gili is the mother of Yarden, who raced on the previous and subsequent seasons, and previously appeared on episode twenty-eight of the sixth season during a video chat with her daughter, while she was racing in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
