Emotions rose to the surface at the Farm when one of the contestants decided to go home.
Farmi Suomen’s opening episode saw a surprising turn right away, when the singer Helena Lindgren decided to give up in the middle of the race. Lindgren justified his decision with the harsh conditions of the farm.
– No matter how much I want to be here with you, my body resists. All those supervised cold nights, hot sun and little food, my body can’t take it, the singer told the contestants sitting around the table.

Lindgren was moved to tears during his speech.
– I thought it was fairer and wiser to leave room for younger people. I have received and experienced so much in my life. Of course, this would have been another new experience, but that’s how things are now.
The participation taxed the singer’s strength, because he collapsed during the qualifying task. He hobbled into the shade, where the singer rested throughout the rest of the competition.
– There was a certain heat stroke or sunstroke. This is what happened, there was no other way, Lindgren stated in the episode.

– I had a terrible headache. I wondered, since I’m not much of a headache person, what it was, and thought I’d go with the guts. When the race started and I started running, I got black in my eyes. I managed to drag myself into the shadows somehow. After that, I don’t remember anything except that I threw up and they took me somewhere to lie down, the singer recalled.
Lindgren’s short Farmi experience was full of emotions. Already at the beginning of the episode, the singer was moved to tears after seeing the farm’s animals.
– Then remember that you don’t curse or shout with animals, he told the other competitors.
Lindgren, who also worked as an actor during his career, admitted that he was nervous about arriving at the farm.
– When you got here (to the farm) and saw the animals and everything, suddenly there was such peace.
