After an intense finals week with several competitions, three contestants had to pack their bags in Wednesday’s episode.
Both Aleksander Sæterstøl (27), Christopher Mørch Husby (33) and Ingrid Vik Lysne (31) had to see themselves beaten by fellow participant Sofie Karlstad (25) at the finish line.
The latter thus enters the semi-finals together with Trond Moi (53) and Ørnulf Høyer (66). Now the eliminated participants talk about the relationship between the two alliances on the farm: the “young” and the “older”.

– Definitely played more
During the stay, several people believe that two alliances have been formed. In one, consisting of the younger participants, we find, among others, Sæterstøl.
He believes that there has been a difference between the young and the elderly. Even have reacted to one thing in particular.
– You notice that the older people are used to bossing around and giving messages. I’m not used to giving notice at all. I’m just used to getting messages. It’s fine like that, but I was quite tired now at the end that the older people decide, says Sæterstøl to TV 2 after the exit.
He believes there has also been a difference in the way the generations have played.
– The older ones have definitely played more. The older people have taken us aside and talked about this and that, and said negative things to influence big farmers, he claims and adds:
– I have played myself, I have. But nothing so obvious.
Doesn’t feel hit
Semi-finalist Moi says that he both agrees and disagrees that the elderly have played more than the young. He highlights some discussions between the elderly.
– The older people may not have been as good at just “chilling” as the young ones. The young people have been impressively good at coping with things, working and persevering, says Moi when TV 2 makes contact.
Nevertheless, he does not feel struck by the claim.
– I don’t feel there has been a barrier there, or that I have experienced a separation. I have experienced that I have had good chemistry with several young people, and that it has not been problematic.
Høyer, on the other hand, says that the older members of the farm were the ones who contributed the most to the tactical game on the farm.
– They were a youth gang that was very close-knit, so I think it will be like throwing stones in a glass house, he says to TV 2 and adds:
– But I have been surprised that people should always talk about each other, and not to each other. Personally, I didn’t have that need at the Farm, and I don’t have it now either, concludes Høyer.

That the older people have decided more, Moi believes, has come naturally, as several of the large farmers have been older. In addition, he points out that there has been a natural dynamic on the farm, where the older people with more experience have taken more control.
– But I don’t think there has been anything bad in it, he points out.
Moi says that he has had a good tone with the young people, and that he has been impressed by the way they have proceeded in various situations.
– One of the best experiences has been getting to know the young people.
Wanted to protect each other
33-year-old Husby believes that there has been little separation between the older and the younger.
– I think that we in the younger group were perhaps a little surprised by how much the older ones played, and how much tactics they had initiated. There has been a lot of whispering, talking and “agreements” out and about, says Husby.
– The older people have certainly contributed to the tactics. I think it was because we also started to play a bit, and that there were some alliances. We younger people probably only had a desire to protect each other.

– Some sneaky people in our group
Lysne herself says that she has been good friends with several of the “older people” on the farm. She does not believe that it has necessarily been “the young against the older”, but points out that the younger people became close during their stay.
– We have been a group that has gone on evening walks together, cheered each other on a little extra, and – as we perceive it – played very little games. We’ve only been here and enjoyed ourselves, and then maybe the older guard have played a little harder, says Lysne.

However, she says that there have also been some in their group who have played the game.
– There have been some sneaky people in our group as well. But at the end, we were a young group who were very happy to have come this far, and who felt that it was okay not to make it to the final. Then I think it took a little more to get over the fact that the older ones, who were a little more concerned with getting far, have played a little harder than we have done.
Watch the finale of The farm celebrity Sunday 19 February on TV 2 Direct at 20 and TV 2 Play.
