Reception

Björn Borg's wife Patricia Östfeldt-Borg withdrew from participating in the show prior to its launch, and the final list of celebrities was described in ''Aftonbladet'' by one critic as unimpressive. In terms of viewership the show was a flop, as whilst the first episode received viewership of 1.2 million, by the middle of the series viewership had already fallen to 322,000. 62% of the readers of the newspaper '' Expressen'' voted the premiere of the show a "disaster".
