Aleksandra April, winner of 'The Farm': Prize money will go towards renting a farm

Aleksandra April has emerged as the winner of the reality television show "Kmetija" (The Farm), a victory she secured despite not being considered an early favorite. Her fellow contestants, many of whom entered the show with pre-planned strategies, underestimated her. This underestimation, April explained, paved the way for her win and the prize money that will undoubtedly be useful.

Comfort was most missed when sleeping without a mat on hard straw, especially with sore muscles and exhaustion from the daily heat.

April revealed that her initial fear upon entering the show was the lack of running water and electricity. While the kitchen lacked running water, the house had it, providing some relief. The biggest discomforts were sleeping on hard straw without a mattress, especially with sore muscles and exhaustion from the daily heat. She also missed the privacy of a bathroom, as someone was always present, and warm water was a rarity. The absence of a phone and internet also proved challenging, with simple tasks requiring long walks and the inability to quickly share photos or access information.

Contrary to what viewers might assume, April stated that "The Farm" offers no breaks. Work continues daily from start to finish, with the only respite being an early completion of tasks. She described the experience as significantly more difficult than anticipated, highlighting the persistent presence of insects in the straw bedding and the constant exhaustion that aided sleep. Perhaps the most surprising aspect was the behavior of some contestants, which she felt reflected their true nature rather than being a product of the game itself, serving as a mirror to contemporary society and its youth.

When you watch from home, you imagine contestants have two days off a week. In reality, there is no break; work is every day from start to finish.

April did not enter the show with complex strategies, believing she was well-prepared personally. She approached the experience as a challenging working holiday, focusing on adapting quickly to her surroundings and resolving challenges. This straightforward approach, she believes, contributed to her unexpected victory.

These people did not become like this because of the game; they are simply like that by nature. The show only revealed their true face.
