On day six of the RTL show "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!", Gil Ofarim, Ariel, and Eva Benetatou battled nausea in a tough eating challenge. The menu featured water buffalo kidneys, crocodile eyes, camel brain, and cow urine in frog blood jelly. Only Ofarim managed to earn three stars.
In Murwillumbah, Australia, the persistent rain that nearly drove some campers to quit finally ended, giving way to a new challenge: the disgust trial. The three participants—musician Gil Ofarim (43), reality star Ariel (22), and Eva Benetatou—were served a four-course menu with exotic and repulsive ingredients.
Eva Benetatou, a former "Bachelor" candidate, advised beforehand: "Just chew, chew, chew." Yet she spat out all four courses. Ariel gagged continuously and exclaimed: "I must puke." Ofarim, distracted by the noises, remarked: "It's hard to eat when gagging sounds come from right and left." Still, he consumed enough to secure three stars—his first sympathy points in the show.
Ariel reluctantly praised him: "I have the greatest respect for swallowing the innards, even though I don't like Gil." Ofarim, infamous for fabricating an antisemitism accusation in the 2021 Star of David affair, remained silent on the matter in camp. He cited a non-disclosure agreement, which also protected the involved hotel employee.
Actress Nicole Belstler-Boettcher (62, "Marienhof") confronted him: "You can't be touched here, but you can rehabilitate yourself. But what about that man?" Ofarim responded: "I would love to talk about it, but my silence also protects the hotel man, who doesn't want me to talk about it either."
That evening, the campers finally enjoyed meat and vegetables after days of beans and rice. Ariel continued criticizing her fellow campers: "Shit, what's wrong with humanity?"
