These are all the celebrities who will fight in teams for the victory:
– Did not hesitate a second
Abubakar “Abu” Hussain said yes to the stain when the question of whether he wanted to join the “Prisoners at the Fort” came up. The best friend Mayoo Indiran did the same, and with him on the team is the “Sofa” duo NRK presenter Stian Sandø.
They compete against Alexandra Joner, Sebastian Solberg and Lene Orvik.
– I’m a TV guy, and I grew up watching TV. And TV3 with “Prisoners at the fort” at the forefront is something the family always watched together. I loved it. It’s very nostalgic for me. And Mayoo and I had talked about that if it comes back, then we must join, says Abubakar Hussain to Nettavisen.
Mayoo Indiran also grew up with “Prisoners at the Fort”:
– This is very special for me, because I grew up not watching Norwegian TV at home. But we looked at one thing, and that was “The prisoners at the fort.” So when I was asked to join, I did not hesitate for a second. But I demanded to have Abu with me.

On a team with dad and «Lothepus»
Fetisha Williams has brought dad Byron Williams and Leif Einar “Lothepus” Lothe on the team.
– It’s the funniest combination, she laughs.
Williams also tells Nettavisen that she agreed to participate because she wanted to give her father more TV time.
– He did not get enough TV time on “The Voice”, so why not run the obstacle course with his father on an island in France? she asks.
Byron Williams, on the other hand, is grateful to have quality time with his daughter during filming.
– It was fantastic to get the chance to travel outside Norway and experience France. And to be with my daughter. I try to enjoy every time I am with her, he tells Nettavisen.
He did not know his teammate “Lothepus” at all before the recording, but they also became good friends.
– I have only seen him on TV, and thought: “Okay, he is on my team, how will this go?”. But then we met, and I got to know a different side of him than the one presented on TV. So we got a good tone, says Byron Williams.
The Williams duo and “Lothepus” fight against Fritjof Wilborn, Trude Mostue and Egil Andreas Skurdal.
Wilborn makes no secret of the fact that it was a cool experience.
– It was exactly as expected. Very exciting and very fun, he says to Nettavisen.

Trude Mostue adds that she understands well how the casting has got so many celebrities in the concept.
– It’s a legendary show. That’s probably why most of us said yes, it’s something we grew up with, she says.
– Everything is a little scary
Kristin Gjelsvik brought her fiancé Dennis Poppe and VGTV profile Oskar Westerlin on the team.
The former tells Nettavisen that this was an opportunity she could not say no to, although she admits that there were several things she feared before filming in France started.
– It is not possible to say no to “Prisoners at the fort”. It’s a legendary concept, and having the opportunity to experience both Fort Boyard and Paspati and Paspato, it’s absolutely unique. So I had to take part in this, she cheers.
– But I’m a little scared of various things. I’m not a good swimmer, nor am I very strong when it comes to reptiles and such. And heights … Everything is really a little scary.
Still, she was clear that she wanted to challenge herself.
– I have a completely insane competitive instinct, so when I hear competition I am with. But it’s not for the faint of heart here, it’s pretty cool stuff, Kristin Gjelsvik admits.
Gjelsvik, Poppe and Westerlin compete against Chris Robin Omdahl, Emilie Helgesen and Herman Dahl.

Got to choose teams myself
Jan Tore Kjær had to choose which of the guys from Vålerenga Ice Hockey he wanted to take with him to France, and the choice ultimately fell on the ice hockey players Colin Olsen and Jørgen Karterud.
– I was a bit tactical, so I chose the guys who are strong and top trained. So I want to say that we do not shame Norwegian hockey, even with dad present, he says to Nettavisen and adds:
– They are also nice boys who offer themselves.
Kjær makes no secret of the fact that it was great to be a part of it.
– It is a legendary TV program, so in many ways it is an honor to be asked to join, he says.
The hockey trio competes against Emil Meek, Margaret Aase and Lasse Matberg.

TV-comeback
Victoria Tolaas, known from «Norway’s Toughest», is on a team with Rasmus Wold and Genette Våge.
She’s really looking forward to it starting on TV.
– It went very fast, so I’m really looking forward to seeing it again. It will be exciting to see the episodes and what we have actually been involved in. It was very fun, she says to Nettavisen.
Tolaas’ team faces strong competition from Tobias Becs, Solveig Guldbrandsen and Jan Gunnar Solli at Fort Boyard.
– How did I end up here?
Nate Kahungu, Sølje Bergman and Dennis Siva Lie meet Lene Alexandra Øien, Morten Thorsen and Grace Bullen’s team.
The former thus makes a reality comeback after he ended up in second place last year in “Skal vi danse” on TV 2 – something he had not really imagined would happen with the former.
– How did I end up here? I said after “Shall we dance” that maybe it was time for a break from reality, he says.

Kahungu is very happy with his team, but he does not hide that it was tough competition.
– We were a strong team, but it was a strange combo. We also met Morten, Lene and Grace, so when we saw which team we were going to meet, we wondered if we should just go, he says and laughs.
Lene Alexandra Øien, who is well trained, was for her part very happy with her team – which consists of two wrestlers.
– I was lucky and got on the team with two European champions. So I was very happy, she smiles.
Øien has participated in “Prisoners at the fort” before, and was never in doubt whether she should return.
– It is very fun with challenges, and I love meeting new people. It was also very nice this summer to get off to France for a short trip, says Øien.
In addition to the above teams, Maria Sandberg, Mads Torjussen Østberg and Raylee Charlotte Kristiansen will compete against chefs Christer Rødseth, Christopher William Davidsen and Trond Moi. Martine Ek Hagen, Marthe Kristoffersen and Anders Aukland, for their part, will go into battle against Espen Jansen, Jonathan Nordbotten and Lars Berger.
