Atle (52) was destroyed by Jakten-Tormod

The coolest farming adventure of autumn is coming to an end after farmers selected their chosen suitors last week the search for love.

In the episode on Monday, however, the real test is expected when the couples have been alone together for several days.

From the farmer Jakten Tormod Bakke Johnsens (61) six promising suitors, it was the dancer Atle Hoff (52) who captured the farmer’s interest the most. After the last electionsthe farmer and suitor left for a romantic vacation in Ålesund to see if a love affair could arise from all this.

But – during the last supper in Sunnmørsbyen – an excited Johnsen said it wasn’t the two of them.

– What I know in my heart is that I have earned a very good friend. But I’m not sure if we’re lovers.

– Don’t fall in love

When TV 2 comes into contact with Hoff following the dumping, the suitor shares that he is still in contact with the farmer.

– We have a good tone and talk clearly about Jakten’s journey we have done together – and otherwise chat about daily life and what we do, he says.

The 52-year-old also claims that the relationship between them has become friendlier.

– I was there to meet Tormod and I was very happy to have been chosen. Feelings build over time, there was good chemistry between us and there still is, but it didn’t turn into infatuation or love, she explains, and continues:

– Maybe we are too different as people? Encounters in love are probably mainly about whether to clap or not.

The suitor also shares that it was a delicate moment when Johnsen turned him down over dinner.

– I was very moved by Tormod’s tears. It was nice to get to know each other better, but the expectations of love hung over both of them in a way. We tried to give each other a chance and see if it could be us, but I felt it had to be more defined as a bonus.

– Good experience

Hoff thinks the stay at Halden’s farm was a great experience and is happy to have met people both in front of and behind the camera.

– It was a great experience in every way – and a little fun to win a reality show, so it must be fair to say even if it wasn’t us, he says.

When asked whether or not he lives the single life, he answers the following:

– I’m open to life and love, so we’ll see who gets in touch.

– Terribly difficult

Johnsen explains to TV 2 that he wasn’t sure of his feelings and that the trip to western Norway made him sure of what he wanted.

– I had to feel from the inside if it was infatuation and love, or if it was friendship, so I gave it a chance by going there. I didn’t want to make hasty decisions until I was absolutely sure. That trip to Ålesund sure was, and then I realized that’s not how it should be for us to build a future together as lovers, she says.

Bonden describes the decision to dump Hoff for dinner as a “cruel trial”.

– The terribly difficult and painful thing is that Atle was so enthusiastic and was looking forward to dinner. Fire on the fireplace, candles – everything was ready for a very romantic evening, and then in my heart I knew it would be the other way around.

His head was paralyzed and his thoughts raced. The 61-year-old wondered how to repel the suitor without hurting him too much.

– He is so handsome. I don’t want to be stupid, ugly or bad in any way, but I didn’t know how to say it. So I sent a prayer to the universe: “Help, help. What should I do?”.

But the words eventually fell into place.

– I was hoping he felt I really tried. That I didn’t do it for fun, or that it was nonsense, she says.

Johnsen doesn’t have a good answer as to why it didn’t work between them.

– It’s a bit difficult. It has to come from somewhere deep in the body, soul, brain and mind – all of these layers have to want it. This is the attraction, perhaps.
