Stange, Norway – Augustโค 22, 2025โข – Fans ofโฃ the popular TVโ 2 program “Fjellhytta” โare voicing โtheir discontent as the newly renovated cabinsโ featured on the show haveโ begun appearing โon the โขrentalโฃ and sales markets before the season finale. The โคsecond season, aโข follow-up to the successfulโ “Summer Hytta,” is currentlyโ airing, documenting participantsโฃ as they compete to โขrefurbish cabins โขin โthe scenicโ Mjรธsli area of Stange.
Early โMarketing Sparks Viewerโ Backlash
The completed cabins are being activelyโค marketed onโค Mjรธsli’s official website and Facebook page, complete with โคimages and descriptions referencing the television program. Marketing materials specifically highlight the cabins as “seen on โคTV 2,” offeringโ a visual preview of the finished projects.Many viewers feel this practice diminishes the โฃsuspense and enjoyment ofโฃ watching the renovation process unfold.
“Why are you โshowing the finished cabins from ‘Fjellhytta’? It takes all the fun โฃout of โขwatching,” one viewerโ commented online. โAnother expressed,”It won’t be the same to โfollow along when we already know what everything looks like.”
Didโ youโข Know?โ The conceptโ of reality television often relies on delayed gratification and the โฃunfolding of aโ narrative. โฃPremature reveals โขcan disrupt this dynamic,impacting viewer engagement.
TVโ 2 Acknowledges Viewer Concerns
Jan-Petter โฃDahl, a press officer for TV 2, confirmed the โคchannelโฃ isโค aware of the situation. “We are aware โthat โthe cabins from this year’s season of ‘Fjellhytta’โฃ are now being marketed for rent. We have not yet โreceived direct reactions from viewers, but โweโ understand that some may experience it as revealing,” Dahl stated to Nettavisen.
The core appeal of the show lies in witnessingโค the participants’ problem-solving skillsโฃ and the challenges they overcome duringโค the renovation process. Releasing images of โthe โคcompleted cabins โฃprematurely can spoilโค this experience for dedicated viewers.
Mjรธsli Defends โขMarketing Strategy
Otto Blix Hulbak, owner and general manager of Mjรธsli, explained that the marketingโ efforts areโฃ in โฃline โขwithโค their agreementโฃ with Strix,โฃ the production company behind “Fjellhytta.”
“we had theโ opportunity to begin renting the cabinsโ onceโข recording was completed. By that point, the participants had removed their belongings, and we furnishedโข and styled theโ cabins for rental purposes. Toโข effectivelyโ market theโ rentals, the use ofโค images is necessary,”โ Hulbak explained.
He added that โthey โhaveโฃ taken steps toโ limit the extent of the disclosures, specifically avoiding theโ publication of images showcasing the kitchens and bathrooms.
Pro Tip: Transparency and communication areโ crucial when balancing marketing needs withโข audience expectations, particularly in theโฃ contextโ of reality television.
Balancing โPromotion and Spoilers
Hulbak believes the marketing does not detract from the viewing experience,โ suggesting it may even increase curiosity. “We believe that how the solutions are assessed and who wins is what moastโ engages viewers. the visibility contributes โฃto increased curiosity and interest.”
he emphasized that all marketing materialsโ were reviewed by Strix, and any images deemedโ overly revealing were promptly removed. Hulbak also noted that feedback has been largely positive, with many expressing interest โin โvisitingโ or renting the cabins. โฃ”Compared to when we hostedโฃ ‘Summer Hytta’ โคin 2021, โฃwe areโ experiencing even greater โattention and commitment now,” he โฃsaid.
