HaMerotz LaMillion 8, also known as HaMerotz LaMillion: All Stars, is the eighth 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. Hosted by Ron Shahar, it featured six new teams of two with a pre-existing relationship and six returning teams of two in a race around the world to win ₪1,000,000. This season visited three continents and seven countries and traveled over 35,000 kilometres (22,000 mi) during twelve legs. Starting in Las Piñas, racers traveled through the Philippines, the Netherlands, Armenia, Chile, Ecuador, Brazil, and Israel before finishing in Tel Aviv. The season premiered on 6 September 2020 on Channel 13 with the finale on 8 December 2020.

Cousins Yael Carmon and Yosiel Neeman from HaMerotz LaMillion 5 were the winners of this season, while childhood friends Asaf Tetro and Netah Merran finished second, and siblings Omer and Neta Barazani from HaMerotz LaMillion 6 finished third.

Production

Development and filming

While the previous season was filming, rumors circulated that teams from previous seasons would be participating on the subsequent season. On 28 November 2018, before the Season 7 finale was filmed, media outlets spotted the six teams returning to the show at Ben Gurion Airport. A few days later, production of the season began in the Philippines directly after the conclusion of the previous season. The second half of the season's first leg was filmed the same day when the tenth leg of The Amazing Race 32, which also finished in Rizal Park, was being filmed in Manila. Principal filming of the season ended on 22 December 2018. The final segment in Israel was filmed in early December 2020 to prevent the final results from leaking.

This season is the first time an Amazing Race franchise filmed a second season directly after the filming of another season. This season marks the fourth Amazing Race franchise that brought back previous contestants to compete following the original American version, The Amazing Race Vietnam, and The Amazing Race China (The Amazing Race Canada 7, which featured a single viewer-voted returning team, aired after HaMerotz LaMillion 8 was filmed but before it aired). This is also the second season, after the second Chinese season (The Amazing Race Australia 4, which also featured an international Starting Line, was filmed after HaMerotz LaMillion 8 but aired before this season), in which the Starting Line did not take place in the show's host country.

Similar the previous season, a companion series aired online entitled To Be Ron Shahar, which featured comedians Duvdevani and Kovach following the filming of the season and learning how to be the show's hosts. In addition, after their elimination Vova & Alla hosted a segment where they provided their commentary about episodes that had just aired.

• From Season 4:
  • Shay Gavriel and Shani Alon, Her Husband's Best Friend, 1st place

• On Jockey Chacara Municipal Park's soccer field, teams had to use a long pole to arrange 16 strips of fabric with Hebrew letters to form a lyric from a familiar Israeli song about Brazil ("País Tropical" by Jorge Ben) to receive their next clue.
• At Sociedade Hipica Paulista, one team member had to walk across a tightrope with their partner on their shoulders to retrieve their next clue.
