"Farmen" – Challenges Håkan Pettersson forced TV 2 to sign a special deal: – Maybe they perceived it as a threat

– was shocked

"It was an exciting experience, except that it was mostly idiots, not idiots in that sense, but in this context, I would say that they were." I thought I would meet people sharing the same ideas and I thought that those who were there could use a custom and that they should have some level of knowledge.Instead, I was welcomed by "Roseblogger" and people who had to learn I was shocked, "he told VG.

The 54-year-old had not even asked to join "Farmen" this year.

– But I looked for last year. Just before that started, I received a production phone, which had found my name in the stack of apps from last year. They wanted me this year.

Got the acceptance of the cigarette

Even Håkan, who lives in Eidsvoll, has never seen "Farmen". Therefore, he did not know that there would be strictly illegal goods to bring to the farm. The evening before joining his "new home" with the other three challengers has also become a bit dramatic.

"I was preparing the bag under the supervision of production people and it was said that I was not allowed to bring cigarettes. Then it did not matter either, he thinks.

and:

"I told the production that if I can not bring tobacco, they can find another participant." I threatened to go to Eidsvoll, as far away from home as Farmen Farmen. Without tobacco, I would just go home.

So, then TV 2 and the production company Strix has four on the requirements.

– So it was good for them, but it is possible that they perceived it as a threat. In fact, I wanted to bring with me between 20 and 25 liters of mud too, it was clear when I left home. But it was too much to dribble.

– Honesty goes back and forth

On entering the farm, the Swedes had five packets of tobacco. This corresponds to more than 500 cigarettes.

– How did the other participants react when they found that you had permission to smoke?

– They asked how, everyday, I brought it in the yard.

"Do you really want to go home if the production was alone?"

– Yes It was of course important information that no one had informed me. And when that is not communicated, you just have to miss it. Honesty goes both ways, says Pettersson, carpenter and builder.

In the past, he worked as a masseur and, in the yard, he should have been open to the fact that he was working with Brazilian wax.

TV 2 confirms a special agreement

Alex Iversen, press officer for "Farmen" of TV 2, confirms that Håkon Pettersson brought tobacco to the farm.

"Håkan is an exciting participant that we wanted with" Farmen "and we realized that he would not say yes if he did not bring tobacco. The agreement we have concluded with him was that he would bring a bag of leather tobacco into the yard.But when it was empty, he had to persuade others to buy more tobacco on the market when he was there. wanted more, said VG.

According to Iversen, there were no major reactions from the other participants. TV 2 does not know that Håkan is also planning to introduce mud into the farm.

"No one else has asked to bring tobacco or similar products, in addition to the necessary prescription drugs," he said.
