Aurora Hoff, a 27-year-old nurse, won the reality television competition ‘Farmen’ after a final at Odden farm. During the competition, runner-up Helge Nicolaysen Urdal Pihl experienced health complications including vomiting and dizziness, which were later diagnosed as cryptosporidiosis.

Following her participation, Hoff reported experiencing memory loss attributed to the psychological strain and social dynamics of the show. The memory issues began several months after filming ended, requiring her to rely on other participants to recount events. Hoff stated she has since sought help from a psychologist and noted that she does not blame the broadcaster, TV 2, nor does she regret participating.
