Therefore, Sanna had to leave Anders’ farm first in Farmer Seeks a Wife

In “Farmer seeks wife” it became emotional when Anders Mood had to make his first choice among the girls who moved into the farm. Tears came from both Anders and Sanna, who was the one who had to leave.

– It has left its mark in the back of my mind in life, it was tougher than I thought, says Anders to TV4.

– It’s more real than you think, even if it’s just a recording. I understand why people are judgmental about the show. “But how can you sit there and cry”, one thinks. That’s what I thought too. But then you sit there yourself, he continues.

But there was a clear reason why the choice fell on Sanna.

– It was based on the fact that we both have children. There was a gnawing feeling already at Sundbyholm Castle. But I closed my eyes for a long time because I looked at her and thought she was fantastic, says Anders.

– As time went on, a nice bond was created between us, he continues.

“The last thing I want is to take a parent away from a child”

The distance between them in combination with parenthood did not go together, says Anders. He explains that he and Sanna clicked so well, that they spoke the same language. But that both also understood that it would be difficult.

– A potential move would mean difficult circumstances. The last thing I want is to take a parent away from a child. I want her child to meet her father too, and sitting and driving a child for seven hours in between is something I do not agree to. I don’t want to expose a child to that, I don’t even want to drive my own son for a quarter of an hour, he says.

– You have a responsibility as a parent.

But feelings were there, and according to Anders it was better to break up early – so as not to make it worse.

– I thought that it might be best that she be allowed to go home as soon as possible so that even stronger feelings are not created, so that it becomes even more difficult. I tried to be kind but it was tough, since you never know what is right and wrong. It received a lot, feelings are feelings, says Anders.

After the program Anders and Sanna have had some contact via SMS.

– I have asked how she is, given that it is being broadcast now. I’ve said that it’s just to get in touch if there’s something she wants to talk about or air, he says.
