There is exciting news in the pipeline for fans of the popular reality show
Rokdim Im Kokhavim (Dancing with Stars).
Reshet, one of the two
concessionaires running Channel 2, has just announced that Canadian actress
Pamela Anderson will be a guest judge for a number of episodes in the upcoming
season.
Anderson, 43, is best known for her role on the American TV
series
Baywatch, as well as her appearances in
Playboy magazine.
Based on
a popular British reality TV series
Strictly Come Dancing,
Rokdim Im Kokhavim
began airing in 2005 and has gained momentum among viewers ever since. It
features celebrities partnered with professional dancers for weekly ballroom
dancing competitions. The judges and viewers then vote off the weakest
pairs.
While Anderson will be a judge in her upcoming guest appearances,
she competed as a contestant in the American version of the show,
Dancing with
the Stars, last May. She was voted off in the fifth round, but America’s loss is
Israel’s gain; the former celebrity participant now has some firsthand expertise
as she judges Israeli contestants.
Anderson will not be the only person
generating news for the sixth season of
Rokdim Im Kokhavim.
There are
rumors that news reporter Gili Shem-Tov will be the first gay dancer on the
series. She is to dance with a female partner.
