Season chronology

HaMerotz LaMillion 6 is the sixth season of HaMerotz LaMillion (Hebrew: המירוץ למיליון, lit. The Race to the Million), an Israeli reality competition show based on the American series The Amazing Race. It featured 12 teams of two with a pre-existing relationship in a race around the world to win ₪1,000,000.

This season premiered on 21 October 2017 on Channel 2 until 1 November 2017 when the show moved to Reshet 13, one of two new stations launched following a split of Channel 2, with the finale on 17 March 2018 and was hosted by Ron Shahar.

Married parents Evelin and Tohar Haimovich were the winners of this season.

Production

Development and filming

The sea cliffs of Tzukei Yam overlooking the Mediterranean Sea were the Starting Line for the sixth season of HaMerotz LaMillion.

Unlike the previous two seasons, which featured 14 teams split into two groups of seven teams and eliminated one team per group at the end of the first leg, this season's first leg returned to a single leg format.

This season visited four continents and eight countries including the first visit by an Amazing Race franchise to Kyrgyzstan, a country which has not been visited by the original American edition. The show also featured a special episode in the ninth country of Greece, where eliminated teams competed in challenges while sequestered.

Former New York Jets Flight Crew and The Amazing Race 27 contestant Krista DeBono was the Pit Stop greeter on Leg 2 in New York City.

For the first time in the show's history, the eliminated teams would receive a chance to return to the competition. After the conclusion of Leg 9, all the eliminated teams, with the exception of the team eliminated in Leg 1 and a team medically not cleared to compete, would compete in a leg with the winner being able to return to the competition.

Starting with this season, episodes began with a shortened intro that only featured the show's logo.

Marketing

Harel Group, Spring, Mobileye, and Partner Communications Company served as sponsors for this season.

3. ^ While at the elimination villa, Mor & Mor were removed by the show's medical team due to an injury sustained by Mor Sw. during the competition and were not eligible to compete for the Return Ticket.
4. ^ Honey & Avivit were the last team to arrive at the Tarihbaev Mamytzhan School and were eliminated in the middle part of the leg.
5. ^ Nimrod & Yonatan and Yossi & Udi were unable to finish the leg because they decided to stop completing the final challenge after seeing three teams leave Panfilov Park, thus accepting a tied fourth-place finish.
