The 17th season of “The Farm” is now underway. We see how a bunch of new participants occupy the farm Norra Brandstorp – and it doesn’t take long before friction starts between them. After only one night in the house, the first discussion of the season arises, which is about some of them snoring – and disturbing.
Per Eriksson, who is one of the participants whose snoring disturbs other participants, is asked to move down to the kitchen to sleep there instead. But the way things are handled makes Per Renström see red.
– I will get free play at breakfast, he warns.

And when he later also receives information that there was activity downstairs during the night from those who asked Per to sleep in the kitchen, Per’s mood does not improve.
– Was it a hell of a life down here last night? It pisses me off even more, he says.
– Respect doesn’t seem to exist in this group, or many in this group don’t have this usual that you should be quiet when you get home or that you should let people sleep or let people be as they are, he continues.
At breakfast, the so-called free play comes from Per.
– This has pissed me off several times, I talk about this with snoring. I think it’s too damned to throw Per out, put him on the couch down here and then sit and babble all damn night. I think it sucks. If it’s someone you force to sleep here, then everyone can go to bed…, he says in front of the group before being interrupted.
“Won’t take any shit that ain’t true”
It is Desirée Nilsson who stops him, and says that it did not happen at all as he claims.
– I was irritated. He said we had forced Per out, it all sounded so bloody dramatic and horrible – and it really wasn’t. I won’t take any crap that isn’t true. If something is to be brought up, it must be correct information, she says.
Per Eriksson, in turn, says that he is okay with sleeping in the kitchen, as long as the other participants show respect. But he has mixed feelings about the discussion that arose, which was mainly about him.
– I think it’s nice that Perre brought up this discussion about snoring, it’s not something I can do much about. But it obviously feels awkward when there is such a discussion, I don’t know what to say or what to do. It will be as if Perre is speaking for me and then it will be wrong, because I still want to be able to say it myself and be able to stand for it myself, he says.
Stream The Farm
Far from modernities, the participants live as farmers did in the 19th century. At the same time, they fight in a fierce competition with tactics and rascally games.
