The american participants mention virtually all that the money is a great motivator. Are you not afraid that lack this element?
The american participants comes as the program from another reality, and some from the then straitened circumstances, to gain example, can pay for their children’s education. It is not what is at stake for our performers. We want to focus on the social and mental challenge, it is to be alone with himself, without family, friends, networks. We would like to have the participants engage in this experiment motivated by the own desire and will – and curiosity on themselves, their own limits and to reflect on what is important to them. Not for the sake of money.
– one Could not imagine that the participants would hold out longer, if there was a big cash prize up for grabs?
One could well imagine that some participants would, but it is not the motivation, we are interested in. There has been a big interest to participate in the year – even bigger than last year – which also tells us that the performers are not motivated by money, but by the personal reasons that we care about, and which we hope and expect that many danes can understand and can relate to.

All the participants have a close relation to nature. But, they have to go through in the experiment ’Alone in the Wilderness’, are difficult to prepare. The question is, how long they can commit to themselves to be alone in the Norwegian wilderness. Only company is their own camera, as they film their stay.
It’s going to be about the fight against the forces of nature – and against themselves. The goal is to survive longer than its competitors and thereby win the competition. How long they should be there, determines the self – the one that lasts the longest, wins.
