A second couple jumps out of the season of SVT's "Gift at First Sight".
At the same time, there has been a lot of storming around the program after the previous episode.
Interest in this year's season of "Gift at First Sight" is great, especially now that two of the couples are choosing to end the experiment prematurely.
Last week, Linnea Alsberg and Jimmi Nordqvist went their separate ways and now it's Anastasia Exner and Torsten Malmgård who throw in the towel. The breakup went smoothly, says the couple's psychologist Hana Jamali.
The couple had been struggling with the lack of attraction – and Torsten Malmgård's need to put into words the lack of romantic feelings, which resulted in a tearful discussion in last week's episode.
What viewers didn't get to see was how the psychologist had several conversations with the participants before the final decision was made, says Hana Jamali.
After last week's episode, there has been speculation in columns and podcasts about what happened between Linnea Alsberg and Jimmi Nordqvist. In the podcast "Excuse Me", the claim was spread that an anonymous participant was subjected to an assault.
SVT has chosen to let the participants speak for themselves, and Christina Hill, responsible editor, says that the massive rumor spread started before the program was broadcast.
That the program stirs up so many emotions in viewers may be a good sign. And the program prioritizes the well-being of the participants, says Hana Jamali.
