It truly was great television. No fakery, no staging.. Just raw footage.. And to anyone thinking it gets quiet and the fighting stops once the cameras goes off.. Think again.
I know this family on a personal level and I know there's a lot of split opinions when it comes to the supposed "Abuse" they had to "Endure".. Take it from me.. Jakob, Filip, Henrik and the oldest one which I prefer not to name.. They're just spoiled, egocentric, narcissist and severely lacking in character. They were never abused during their childhood and they know it. They dumped their father for financial reasons and that's where it ends.. Yeah the father smacked his daugther with a towel because she was acting like a diva and from there the situation escalated. The brothers desperately tried to get this show removed from NRK because the father is the center of attention and their egos doesn't know how to deal with it. It comes down to jealousy and greed, plain and simple.
That being said.. I'm not the biggest fan of the father, I don't think his methods are morally correct but guess what?? They agreed to his terms, he said from the beginning and I quote: "You're either in or you're out. If you're in, sit down, shut up and do as you're told!".. I repeat: They agreed to this.. No one forced them, it was a choice they made. These spoiled brats owe their success to their father alone and they repay him by suing him and trying to make him look like a soulless devil.. The ungratefulness is honestly sickening.
They will be burried in court and they will lose their sponsors in the process.
I truly believe this was great television, some of the finest reality Norway ever had to offer.. It got canceled for completely idiotic reasons and if there's any justice in the world the brothers will pay the consequences.
Cheers!
