On Sunday, not only one, but two contestants were eliminated.
In the end, Ida Elise Bruch (36 years old) and Hermann Dahl (21 years old) had to leave the villa.
Shortly before Sunday's elimination, there were a lot of emotions when the Basement team decided to reveal their secret.
Now the upstairs team knows that the downstairs team knows which of them voted for the other participants during the previous eliminations.
– Zero percent remorse at all
Ida Elise Broch chose to vote for herself and encouraged other participants to do the same.
“This is also a choice I made for myself, and I know I will not burn myself over it, and I am completely at peace with it,” she says.
In an email to VG, Broch wrote that she comes from a family that loves board games and plays a lot. However, she had never played anything as complicated as “the game.”
-It was a very exciting experience! “I have absolutely zero percent regret,” she continued.
She adds:
– I played as I thought then and there.
what is the game”?
The “game” originated from a South Korean television format, and is broadcast in Norway on TV 2. The game is led by a voice called a cube. The concept is as follows:
- 12 participants move into a large villa, not knowing who the other participants are, what they will do, or what rules will apply.
- Every day, the contestants face a new game and a new elimination. The participants themselves decide who will be eliminated.
- In the end there will be a winner. The person receives the cash prize he obtained through various competitions during the program.
The situation at home escalated over the weeks, and the tone among some participants became more and more tense.
In Sunday's episode, this was clearly expressed.

When Bruch revealed to other participants on Sunday's episode that she was the one who voted for influencer Martine Lund, 28, Annette Hof, 62, responded:
-You say I feel Ida like a loose cannon on the deck of a ship, and I don't know if she's your best soldier in the war.
During a press conference after the taping, Bruch told VG that Hof's statement, that she was a loose cannon, was “absolutely true.”
– I didn't have certain tactics. I'm not good at this. I have learned now, because I now have experience. I would like to try again, because then I think I would have played differently.
“The Game” was nominated for Best Competition-Based Reality during this year’s Gullruten. Bruch thinks it's fun to be involved in something “at such a high level.”
– There are a lot of feathers that can be put in your cap, but the best are the group of quality people you have become friends with, you write more in an email.
I expected the result
Hermann Dahl, like Bruch, visited the cellar, but admittedly a little longer than she did.
After Sunday's elimination round, Dahl said the following with tears in his eyes:
– It was as expected, but at the same time it was a little painful. I haven't decided yet who Herman is. It bothered me a little there.
Dahl explains to VG that he struggled to find his role among the gang in the villa, and wishes he had spoken up and contributed more.
– But when I got downstairs and became part of this team, I felt a greater sense of mastery and gradually discovered more about my identity.
Furthermore, Dahl says he did not know what he was agreeing to, or who would be involved, before the recording began.
-It felt like a bubble burst. It was a mix of emotions. Finally, I was able to lower my shoulders, which says more about the result.
The 21-year-old says he is nonetheless very grateful to have experienced this, and to have gotten to know the Split gang.
