Each week, the couple that gains the fewest votes from the show's judges and spectators is eliminated. Viewers vote for their favorites, to save them from elimination, via phone, SMS and online.

In a twist in the competition after the fifth elimination, viewers were able to vote to reinstate their favourite of the five couples that had been eliminated. Orly Weinerman won and was reinstated back into the contest, only to be re-eliminated by the public the following week. This twist created controversy, however, when it allegedly emerged that contestants Pnina Rosenblum, Meital Dohan and Gala Kogan had already confirmed they had no plans to return to the programme under any circumstances due to other commitments. Despite this, the phone lines to vote for the three contestants were kept open at the expense of those voting by SMS. The Network responded that they had "operated according to policy", and would not confirm or deny the allegations to respect the "dignity of the stars".[1]
