On Wednesday night, Wednesday’s “The Farm” was released on TV 2 Play. The “Torpet” final also takes place there, where Daniel Godø (29), Mohammed Sarmadawy (28) and Amalie Lund (23) make up their minds as to which of them will eventually get into “The Farm” as a full member of the farm.
But there were still more tears than cheers that broke out after the decision was made – at least for the winner himself, who during parts of the competition was a little behind.

– Ble stress
At one point, Sarmadawy was ahead with 6-5, but it ended up 8-6 in favor of Godø.
– I got tired and worried so quickly. I felt that this is a competition that is really very fun and suited me well, but when we got started, Mohammed answered right first and will return to the next question in front of me. I was behind from the start, was stressed and thought that this was much heavier than I had ever thought, the “Torpet” winner tells Dagbladet.
– Mohammed was completely wild, and when he led 6-5 I thought I would treat him to a victory. At the same time, I wanted to win myself, but feared that this would not work.
Took to tears
After just over two months on the small side yard, the 29-year-old does not hide that everything felt like a dream, something that was not real.
– I could not take it inwards, I felt completely empty. We had been in “Torpet” for so long, so winning just felt completely unreal. I was happy, but also felt so alone – and afraid that the others would push me out a little. And I understand very well that they did not want a new participant at all.
Therefore, tears also flowed when it became clear that Godø was ready for “The Farm” – for the second time.
– Yes, I started crying. And I cried a lot, he says.
– Do you find it uncomfortable, that is, to cry on TV in front of hundreds of thousands of TV viewers?
– No, it’s fine, and I have learned that everyone who cries on TV does so for a real reason. I’m not one to cry often, but after eight weeks in there with it struggling … I kind of felt like I was now starting something new.

What surprised him most was that Sarmadawy and Lund disappeared so quickly from the battlefield.
Suddenly I was standing there quite alone. And I really needed a pat on the back, a “stand on, Daniel.” I was almost afraid that the others would not want me there. But I was quickly disproved, because they were absolutely fantastic – and received me very well. It only took one day, then I was in the heat too full.
He is very happy that the other participants included him and praised him in the way they did after the victory that secured him a place on the farm.
– I had no reason to fear anything. It was a dream to win this final. But completely unreal at the same time. And it became so strong when Mohammed and Amalie were gone with a flick. It was so weird the whole thing. I gave them a hug, but it was not so much more. And I was left there with a big lump in my throat.
– So how were the days that followed?
– In the beginning, I was mostly quite stressed. I thought a lot, and was willing to go to battle. I got a little paranoid. But I did not have to be. I may have made myself a little shocked, but I almost felt I had to. Fortunately, it went quickly, because the gang there is just so good and nice. It is clear that you get a little humbled by coming in as an intruder in week 9, the “Torpet” winner tells Dagbladet.
