Themes

Religion, politics and ethnicity have been among the themes to generate tension between contestants in the Big Brother house during the fourth season.

Yekutiel "Kuti" Sebbag refused to eat food cooked by Avivit Bar-Zohar one Sabbath eve, leading Eran Tartakovsky to call Sebbag a whiny hypocrite but also leading Bar-Zohar to go on a fast on account of preventing a Jew from eating on the Sabbath.[2]

Controversial remarks made by Saar Szekely in reference to Israeli policy in the West Bank drew criticism from the Israeli settlement of Ariel, which issued a statement regretting that Big Brother had offered Szekely a platform for his views.[3] Various Facebook groups called Szekely a traitor and demanded his removal from the show.[4]
