About sharing: – Many tears
After a long and difficult final stage, Elisa Rotterode and Thomas Alsgaard finally escaped with the win.
– It was great fun. ‘I think it’s too sad to have done,’ cried Rotterd, when it became clear to her that they had won.
– I think it was exciting. Many cute and varied tasks and challenges. I like that it has passed in that time, not so many rest days and transfer days. Al-Shabd said it was good.
When asked what it was like to be on the team during the residency, he answered the following:
It cuts well
– It was tough, it was tough then, but now we’re here. So it’s good to take a break now.
– It doesn’t mean much
Regarding the victory, Dagbladet spoke to Røtterud, who could say it wasn’t really that important to win.
– I thought I’d be very happy to get first place, but in retrospect it’s the experiences and a lot of friendship that are much appreciated. So the number one spot in ’71’ doesn’t mean much to me, to be perfectly honest, she said, adding:
– The final stage was incredibly long in the widest known world. We were incredibly tired, but then mentally prepared to put a stop to it.
– Did you realize that you will win when you solve the last task?
– Yes we did. I realized that Adam and John were too far away from us, carrying that box was too heavy, and Thomas was ready to win. But when we answered wrongly on one of the tasks, I thought it was very interesting, and I thought that if they caught us, it would be good TV.
– What do you think of the cooperation between you and Thomas?
Our cooperation was fun. He is a former singles athlete and took it very seriously, while I saw more fun and enjoyment in him. Because it was the rules that got changed all the time, and if I won a stage, the team had to wait a quarter of an hour and start at the end. So I took it less and less seriously. But Thomas really wanted to win at all costs.
– You don’t have a connection
From the previous episodes, it happened several times Hot ball between Røtterud and AlsgaardAnd cooperation between them gradually broke off, despite the fact that it started well.
Røtterud now reveals what the weather is like between them today.
– There was a crash
– We don’t have contact today. It stays with us in the group. We had very good contact with the other participants and attended many nice dinners, but need not comment on anything beyond that.
In familiar fashion, the winners of the “71°N” world will receive a car as a prize. Admittedly, it’s not just winning a car together, and Røtterud reveals how it will be distributed.
– I decided to buy Thomas, so I took the car.
Dagbladet has been in contact with Marianne Aambø, Discovery’s chief communications adviser, who reported that Thomas Alsgaard did not want to answer questions about the case.
When Ambo asked her if the production was involved in the award distribution, she replied:
Ended in an accident: – cracked
The winning team gets a Toyota car, then it’s up to them how to manage the prize. We do not indulge in it.
