They don’t have such celebrities in town.
“The Farm”, season 16
Reality series
Broadcast Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday on TV 2
Hosted by Mads Hansen
Do we really need more “The Farm” after 16 seasons and so many simultaneous reality series? Or to put it another way: are there really enough balanced hot spots in the country with different farming skills that will also be on TV?

Obviously, it depends on two things: the participants and the host. Pro First: Mads Hansen is a naturally toned down authority as the new host. A little fussy when trying to do a bit of humor. To be the first major program for which the multi-talent has sole responsibility, the job is handled with care.
The participants play beautifully against each other. At least the ones you know in the first three shows.

Raymond (36) from Osterøy at least we know well. The mohawk-cut construction worker with a hipster pipe gets tough with some blunt statements that you can’t run a farm without women (“Someone has to cook”).
Do we have it then? Not in any way. Raymond turns out to be a straightforward guy who seems as open and warm as he is arrogant. Don’t be afraid to advertise with expressions of power that make Helge Jordal in “Orion’s Belt” sound like a priest.
Fortunately, “La Granja” also has a priest. Loddefjordingen Thor (26) is afraid of being perceived as a happy Christian, but hopes to appear as a clear enthusiast for Jesus. Thor blesses those who love him at night. Fantastic positive.

Female participants don’t get as much space at the beginning. But Karianne (27) from Fosnavåg is a mood enthusiast who manages to find alternative sources of income. Inger Cecilie (47) from Halden is a horse breeder and associate teacher who can manage a farm. She watches him closely. A suitably good actor, who thinks about games to the end. He’s in “The Farm” to win.
He is also Jostein (58) from Hobbøl. The owner of the kennel darts early to become a great farmer, and he is the one who enters the first great conflict. He quickly gets angry at people who don’t know anything and have wooden conversations about “girls are allowed to stick to pots and pans and milk a cow.”

The program itself seems faster and faster than before. The exhalation of tension level, the intense cutting of faces, overview photos and music on the rise. For example, when building for a duel the parody has long passed. Here, the creators of the show can try something new, even if the form is so ingrained that I’m not sure what.
Production and people as such are independent of high quality and entertainment. Those who think that “The Farm” is now better with celebrities, should reconsider any prejudice against the entertainment value of ordinary people. It is still huge.
The reviewer has seen the first three episodes.
