Farmen 2020 (The Farm 2020) was the sixteenth season of the Norwegian version of The Farm reality television show. This season is the first to be hosted by Mads Hansen after the previous host, Gaute Grøtta Grav, stepped down as host.[1] [2] The show premiered on 22 September 2020 on TV2 and ended on 6 December 2020 when Per Gunvald Haugen won against Daniel Viem Årdal in the final duel to become the first challenger to win The Farm.[3]
Fourteen contestants are chosen from the outside world. Each week one contestant is selected the Farmer of the Week. In the first week, the contestants choose the Farmer. Since week 2, the Farmer is chosen by the contestant evicted in the previous week.
The Farmer of the Week nominates two people (a man and a woman) as the Butlers. The others must decide which Butler is the first to go to the Battle. That person then chooses the second person (from the same sex) for the Battle and also the type of battle (a quiz, extrusion, endurance, sleight). The Battle winner must win two duels. The Battle loser is evicted from the game.
