An Israeli Woman Wins Again

tali-more-to-love

It appears that Israeli women just might be among the most incredible females out there.

Earlier this year, Sports Illustrated featured Israeli model Bar Rafaeli on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue.

Now, another Israeli woman won a major international contest when she triumphed as the winner of Fox’s hit dating show “More to Love” that features a competition between 20 voluptuous women who try to secure the heart of a 300-pound former offensive lineman.

The winner, Tali, is a 26-year old Israeli artist who moved to the United States only four years ago to pursue a career in New York City. Some members of (now former) bachelor Luke Conley’s family expressed concern regarding Tali due to potential future marital difficulties resulting from her Jewish background and the family’s devout Christian beliefs.

Describing Tali in tonight’s season finale, Conley called Israel a “war-torn country,” an aspect of Tali’s background that shaped her personality into your typical Sabra, the endearing pet name Israelis use for themselves as an allusion to the cactus fruit with needles on the outside and a sweet, tender center. Conley astutely described this aspect of Tali, stating “even though she could be calm and reserved, she’s got fire.”

Yeah. That sounds about right.
