Rokdim Im Kokhavim (Hebrew: רוקדים עם כוכבים, "Dancing with Stars") is the Isreali version of the British reality TV competition Strictly Come Dancing and is part of the Dancing with the Stars franchise. The show features local celebrities partnered with professional ballroom dancers, competing to be the most successful dancers in the contest. 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. Over 350,000 votes were cast on the show's 3rd-season finale.

Partners Lucy Dubinchik & Dennis Belochrekovski were forced to retire from the contest when Dennis suffered a herniated disk injury.

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]

Partners Ilanit & Haim Pershtein were forced to retire from the contest when Ilanit had a problem with her leg.

Partners Bar Zomer & Matanel Kovansky were forced to retire from the contest due to Bar's injury.

Dana's partner Ilia withdrew from the competition for personal reasons and was replaced by Sergei Volkov as Dana's partner after her return to the competition. However, Nasrin and Sergei were forced to retire from the contest when they had a severe injury, and therefore, Rafael, Nasrin's partner, became Dana's official new partner.

Adi's partner Artem was forced to retire from the contest when he had a severe injury only one night before the second semi-final. Matanel, Ella-Lee's partner, was hired to become Adi's official new partner.
