– “Kompani Lauritzen” is the credit for Dag Otto Lauritzen, Kristian Ødegård and the production. My contribution is to participate and that I was involved in creating a story, says winner Mehl to Dagbladet after the award ceremony.

– Not prepared
Some have reacted to the fact that the 28-year-old was on the reality show at all, considering his role as minister. However, she did not get this role until after the recording of the program had ended.
Critical voices have also pointed out that Mehl at the beginning of “Kompani Lauritzen” showed a lack of respect for the commander. To Dagbladet, she makes no secret of the fact that her own behavior came as a surprise to herself as well.
– Yes, I reacted, for my own part, in a surprising way – and was not prepared for my own reaction. It took a while before I got control of it and before I understood why it happened.
She continues:
– Exactly something hit me that was quite unpleasant. Eventually I got to talk to the ensign about it, and it was very good, says Mehl.
– I will not go into that. There were things that were harder for me than I was prepared for. I reacted completely uncontrollably sometimes. And it was quite instructive to take control.
According to the Minister of Justice and Emergency Preparedness, this is perhaps the very best experience she brings with her from the “Kompani Lauritzen” recording.
– To struggle, lie in a tent, carry heavy – all those things are something I also like to do in my spare time. But the mental challenge between me and the ensign in the beginning, I really learned from that.
At the same time, she had little idea about how the program would be sewn together.
– This was only a small part of what happened in the first weeks. I knew nothing about how this was to be presented.
– No, there have been few reactions to me, really. But I’ve gotten a ton on the total of it, and the vast majority are positive. It is a personal journey, and it is important to remember that no one is superhuman – at least not superhuman. Everyone has some weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and if you understand the ones you have, it will be easier to do something about it. Or just accept that you are who you are.

– Would you say “yes” to participate if you were a minister at the time?
– It is a hypothetical question. Basically, I would not have time for that. I had, however Certainly that I should be, I will say that I do not regret anything. It has been a great experience for which I am very grateful. You make yourself vulnerable when you share these sides of yourself, but I am glad that it went as it went, she says to Dagbladet.
