– All this experience of “Bailamos” has been only positive, it’s about me. I’ve loved being involved, but now my body just said enough, said Sophie Elise Isachsen (25) in 2018, midway through the “Let’s Dance” season.
Just hours before tonight’s broadcast, he decided to leave the competition.
She said that she was tired and therefore did not feel so good. Isachsen was also able to tell that he had a pelvic infection, which contributed to his choosing to withdraw.

Guilty
In his new book, “Things I Have Learned”, however, it appears that there was more to the decision than has been known so far. She explains that it was the loss of her former best friend that made her have to go alone.
His last dance in the competition was dedicated to him and his family who sat in the room. It made the 25-year-old feel like she was using her death to get votes.
“Make sure you go with his family and give them a hug as soon as the dance is over, and the camera will take you there,” the production told me just before the broadcast began. Now the votes were to be collected. And when the waltz ended, I went straight to Henrik’s family, crying, with a camera in tow, ”he writes.

Isachsen also writes that he regrets that he did not reply to his friend’s last message and that he was not there for him when he needed it. The bad conscience after the homage dance is said to have caused several sleepless nights.
I’d get sick of falling
The 25-year-old is said to have been so desperate to get out of the television competition that all she wanted was to become visibly ill. She must have gone so far that she called a friend to give her vomiting pills, so the production would know she couldn’t participate.
Punished by Sverre Magnus’ comment (14)
Isachsen further says that she dropped out because she needed to forgive herself and that she felt like the worst person in the world after dancing for him.
“It was the most unpleasant feeling I had ever felt in my entire life. Now I knew what it meant to regret everything I hadn’t done. Everyone thought I was lazy, that I was a coward. I knew that reconciling with Henrik’s death but also with my own bad conscience, it was more important than that.
The influencer also says that she visited three of TV 2’s psychologists before the production agreed that she was allowed to leave.
– embarrassing
She tells Dagbladet how it felt to turn her back on the show.
– Of course, it was horrible and embarrassing and all that to retire. I was afraid that no one would work with me again. But after all, I learned a lot, he says.
You lied about buying an apartment
Isachsen also explains that in the following weeks he had to distance himself from “Skal vi danse”, as it was difficult to stop being part of the bubble.
– But I learned that the most important thing was that my feelings came first. If not, there is no room to do anything else, and I learned that the hard way, he says.
The 25-year-old says she understands that production has long tried to keep it going.
– I don’t feel like I could have done anything differently, but at the same time I had put myself in that situation. It wasn’t like I wanted to check out on Monday, it was Friday afternoon, the day before shipment. I understand very well that they pushed me to do it. I have incredible respect for the production and the work they do, it is incredibly difficult to restructure an entire broadcast, he says, adding:
– At the same time, I was in a situation that was so emotionally difficult, so somehow I couldn’t take a position on the production and what people should think, I just had to listen to myself.
When Isachsen retired, there were four couples left in the competition. In the end, it was the television painter Einar Nilsson who rose to the top of the competition.
– I felt that I deserved it more
TV 2 press manager Jan-Petter Dahl tells Dagbladet that they have routines in place if a participant considers throwing in the towel.
– If a participant wants to withdraw from “Skal vi danse”, it is natural that we do an additional round with the person in question to ensure that this is the correct choice and that they have thought carefully. We also had that conversation with Sophie Elise, and together we agreed that withdrawing from the competition was in the best interest of her, she says.
