Host Heidi Suomi challenges herself in Survivors. He had been asked several times.
Presenter Heidi Finland competes in the new Survivor Finland season. Suomi tells how the mental side and playing influenced him.
– By this age, I have gained such self-awareness that I knew I was capable of playing. However, I thought that I would be more able to put those feelings aside and be a cold gambler. I kept trying to convince myself that this is a game – not real life, and nobody’s dignity is at stake, and it shouldn’t affect personal relationships, Suomi tells Iltalehte about her experiences.
Finland has been asked to participate in Survivors before, but now his schedule finally coincided with the production.

Suomi says that Survivors has been one of her favorite formats. Has the favorite presenter answered the invitations to reality shows in the negative.
– I didn’t join the special forces. It’s so extreme, I wouldn’t have survived there. In this (Survivors) you can get by with so many other than physical aids. Of course, even in Special Forces, the mental side must be in order. Here you can play in another way, Suomi describes.
