Big Brother (Swedish TV series) season 8

[2][5] Adrian Boberg and Helle Schunnesson both quit hosting the live show after learning of housemate Sami Jakobsson's background with right-wing extremism and his having tattoos with Nazi symbols before.

[8] After analyzing all the years of the reality show, it has been found that the format has led to people being broken down and that many of the participants mentally felt bad.

TV4 writes in the press release that "Mental illness has been promoted by a game engine that focuses on hunting and conflict, rather than the social and psychological experiment that is the show's original idea."

The former premise has been to make it popular in the house to avoid getting the most number of nomination votes by the other participants.

The press release states: "Not being able to talk about nominations means that you as a nominee live with the knowledge that the majority of participants may not like you or see you as a threat.

[9] Since there won't be nominations for the Qualifying Game Phase, a series of competitions would be held for each week.

For the Final Game Phase, the show switched back to the original format with housemates nominate each other.
