Profile[]

Yael and Yosiel are cousins in a large Persian family with 49 cousins.

Yossiel Ne'eman (23), Shmulik's son, was born in Holon and grew up in the area. He works in the family nuts business – "Ne'eman Nuts". All his life he used to be the family's clown and dreamed of becoming an actor, but he decided not to waste his time on acting and went to study at the preparatory school for business administration. Yossiel is full of humor and a passionate fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv in football. Yael Carmon (27), Riki's daughter, was born in Holon and lives in Tel Aviv. Dancer in the "Traram" company and choreographer. She, too, is a fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv and goes to soccer games with Yosiel. Besides being cousins, they are also best friends - their relationship is expressed in spending time together, in their own language, and in the synchronization between them. They both came to devour the world and prove to everyone that blood is stronger than water.[1]

Yael Carmon and Yosiel Ne'eman, the cousins who won the title of "Most Beloved Couple in the Race to the Million", participated in the fifth season and were eliminated in the quarterfinals. Yael and Yosiel come to this season with a great hunger to win this time and claim that the bond between them is stronger than ever, as far as they are concerned, the millionth of the fifth season belongs to them and they come to the eighth season to demand it without seeing it with their own eyes.[2]
