Itay Haefrati (איתי האפרתי) -- his name also appears online as Itay Haephrati, Itai Haefrati, and even Etai -- was a contestant on the second season of הישרדות ("Hisardut", the Israel version of "Survivor"). 23 years old, from Tel Mond, he's a former Navy commando, a fact which helped him in the physical aspects of the contest but hurt him in other ways, according to
this article (which is in English):
Two former Navy commandos, Idan Haviv and Itai Haefrati, dominated the physical aspects of the game. Not only did they stand out as physically superior threats to the other contestants, but the values they brought with them from their esteemed unit, such as integrity, honesty and loyalty, proved to be disadvantages in a game where such values are considered naïve. The "Seals" were eventually easy prey, not for the sharks in the sea but for those on land living with them.
Arik Alper, a 34-year-old pediatrician from Tel Aviv, was the eventual winner of the season. In the fotos below, Itai shows us how former Navy commandos stays in shape:
Oh, hey, it looks like a third season of Hisardut might have already started. I'm off to do some investigating; look for an update sometime soon.
