Millions in Fees and Sports Apologies.. A New Season of Ramiz Jalal's Programs Sparks Early Controversy

The controversy began ahead of the airing of the new season of the famous prank show hosted by artist Ramiz Jalal, as the show "Ramiz Level the Beast" topped public discussions before its anticipated launch during Ramadan on MBC.

Huge Numbers Astonish the Audience

Media reports ignited a wide wave of discussion after circulating information about the young artist Yara Al-Sukari receiving around $100,000 for her participation in the show, a figure many considered exaggerated compared to her limited artistic presence.

Al-Sukari gained popularity after her role in the series "Fahd the Hero" alongside artist Ahmed Al-Awadi, while she previously appeared in the film "The Money" with star Tamer Hosny.
Conversely, other reports suggested that the circulated fees are inflated, indicating that the maximum fee for a guest may not exceed $50,000, yet this did not halt the ongoing debate across social media platforms.

Clubs Pressure Their Players to Refuse Participation

Sports sources revealed that several clubs requested their players to apologize for appearing on the show, fearing they might suffer injuries due to the nature of the pranks employed by Ramiz Jalal.
Sources cited the example of Al-Ahly player and Egypt national team member Imam Ashour, who fears a recurrence of a previous shoulder injury if he participates in the show.

Previous Injuries Bring Fears to the Forefront

Concerns heightened after artist Caroline Azmy sustained a physical injury while filming one of the show's episodes, necessitating her to undergo physical therapy sessions and medical examinations in the hospital.

Widespread Anticipation Despite Criticism

Despite repeated criticisms of the controversial nature of the pranks, Ramiz Jalal's show remains one of the most-watched programs during the Ramadan season, attracting high viewership rates annually and sparking extensive debate among its supporters and critics.
