Ended up in the 70s and was drunk in front of the mentor

Earlier this year, it emerged that all Farmen production had to stop after several of the participants left the farm and encountered outsiders. This is not only a violation of farm rules, but also of national crown restrictions.

Good evening Norway can reveal today that from the first week, the participants rowed to other huts in the area and were served food and drink. They also borrowed mobile phones so they could call home.

At one point, some of the contestants ended up on a 70-year-old team, where they got drunk. One of the participants must have been drunk when the mentor came with the weekly homework.

– I’m innocent

Up to seven of the participants have participated in the extensive hoax. When Farmen participant Karianne Vilde Wølner (26) visited the Good Evening Norway studio, she claimed her innocence but knew about the rapes.

– We had seen someone go to the cabins and drink alcohol, but we did not know how big the thing had become, says Wølner, who chose to stay on the farm when the others left.

I had to stop Farmen’s recording after violating infection control rules

– So why should I bother meeting other people when I had fun there?

She says that some of the participants ended up at a party in one of the cabins.

– There are those who celebrate 70 years or something like that, so they drink a lot of alcohol, says Wølner.

She goes on to say that one of the participants staggers on the farm and then the production understands what happened. When they understand the scope, the recording stops and all the bosses enter.

– We had to sit on a chair, and everyone is sitting, and they asked us. I remember getting so mad, because he thinks that if that destroys the chances of those who didn’t cheat, think if we had to stop the whole Farm because some fools have gone on a cabin trip, says Wølner in frustration.

– I was so angry, but I sit back and smile because I know I have not done anything. I’m one of the few who have a good conscience, so I feel good about myself, but I’m afraid we have to stop everything, she continues.

Mads Hansen: – Disappointed

Good evening, Norway has contacted host Mads Hansen, who says they called him on a Friday night in August.

– They asked me if I had plans tonight and tomorrow, then I realized it was something. Then they had closed production and were in the process of removing all the stones, says the host.

Hansen went to the farm, and when he realized the magnitude, he began to think about penalties.

– I was a strong advocate for consequences. Me coming over to give them a scolding lecture wasn’t enough, says Hansen, who later started a discussion with the production and TV 2.

He doesn’t hide the fact that it was disappointing, and when he finally approached the participants, it was not with the usual smile at the corner of his mouth.

– I was disappointed, and he was a tighter Mads Hansen than what people are used to seeing. They have been given this opportunity at the Farm, they have also chosen to play the entire season. The production has taken the crown’s rules seriously by wearing a face mask, keeping your distance, and being quarantined. He was upset, reveals Hansen.

Program editor: all were tested

In an email to Good Evening Norway, program editor Kathrine Haldorsen confirms that participants have been in contact with outsiders. On Thursday, August 13, they closed the production and gathered the participants.

– They were strictly told that a prerequisite for getting production back on track was that they put all the cards on the table, so we got the information we needed to assess the risk they had put themselves and the production on. And what measures should we implement, says the program director.

When Farmen-Thor was injured, he found Jesus: – I laughed and realized that God exists.

She confirms that seven of the participants in four different cases broke the rules for infection control. He also confirms that they have received borrowed food, drink and phones.

– Following the advice of the municipal doctor and the implementation of new measures for infection control, production was resumed after 24 hours. At that time there was no contagion in the region, and with the implementation of the reinforced measures, the municipal doctor thought it prudent to start over. All participants were also subjected to corona tests, responses to the tests came back negative on August 19, says Haldorsen.

Has consequences

Haldorsen emphasizes that participating in the Farm is voluntary, and production relies heavily on trust between those who do the program and those who participate.

– Given the situation with Covid-19, we are very disappointed that some participants chose to break the rules for infection control and therefore put all production in danger of shutting down permanently if someone was infected, Haldorsen explains, continuing :

– We perceived this breach of trust as so serious that it had to have consequences for them, in the program. Whatever it will be, viewers will be able to see it on the show airing tomorrow night, says the show’s director.
