After five intense weeks in 1923, the remaining contestants on the Celebrity Farm are ready for the final week.
In Tuesday’s episode, it was ready for the first elimination competition, namely the well-known obstacle course.
Two of those who managed to win a place in the sub-competition were influencer Sofie Karlstad (25) and entrepreneur Christopher Mørch Husby (33).
For Karlstad, things did not go quite as planned, as she ended up falling already in the first part of the obstacle course.
– I had no idea where it was, says the 25-year-old about the fall that caused the production to gape.

“Don’t do this”
When Karlstad and Husby found out it was the obstacle course they were going to compete in, they were both very happy.
In the obstacle course, three out of four participants would advance; the two who ran the fastest, and the one who answered the most knowledge questions correctly.
The 25-year-old says that before the start she was in conflict with herself about which tactics she should go for.
– I couldn’t decide whether to run as fast as I could, or focus on answering the questions correctly. So of course I did the stupidest thing, namely both.
Before the start, the participants had received introductions about what they should and should not do during the obstacle course.
– The production gave us instructions, and told us “you do this, you don’t do this”, says Karlstad and continues:
– And I remember very well that they said if we were to fall into the water, then we should by all means not try to reach the next obstacle.

Blood Sweat and tears
Since Karlstad couldn’t decide whether to run fast or focus on the questions, she went for both.
This meant that things quickly went awry, already in the first part of the obstacle course.
– When I fell, I thought I should fall in the water. But then I also thought that I am not a regular rider, so I fall on the hurdle.
Karlstad therefore falls flat on his side, and hits large parts of his thigh.
– When I hit the edge, I thought that now I had to get to the questions as quickly as possible. For me, it was blood, sweat and tears. I really gave it everything I had.
Use the arrow to see how Sofie fell in the obstacle course:
The 25-year-old says that it was a synchronous howl from the production, who then stood and watched, that made her aware of how ugly the fall looked.
– I remember the worst thing about the fall was that I had no idea how bad it actually was. I didn’t feel the pain myself because I had so much adrenaline.
Despite the fall, Karlstad completed the obstacle course. Nevertheless, she quickly began to think about how the fall would affect the rest of finals week, should she go on.
– I know myself, and know that I don’t feel the pain here and there. It will come after some time. So all I can say is that I felt it quite well in my leg the following days.
