The first episode of the reality series that Thor participates in, "Heia, Tufte!" ("Go, Tufte!") was aired last Monday.
Way to go, Thor! I was quite surprised to see you in it, because although I know you've mentioned your participation in a reality series, I had no idea this was it. I sat down to watch primarily because I've read some of the pre-release hype and it seemed like a fun concept - namely that a group of... well, nerds, who, um... haven't given top priority to physical exercise or active sports, are to be trained as a soccer team. Their coach is Thorstvedt, and in the final episode there will be a match between Tufte (as the team is called) and Vålerenga, one of Norway's Premier League teams.
I must say, though, that Thor seems to be the least nerdy and probably best-trained of the bunch - he's even played soccer before!
It looks like there's going to be a 'Lifestyles of the Nerds'  segment in each episode. So, Thor... any chance we'll see your film music collection on TV soon?

Why thanks, Nils, but my singing was awfully off-tune, at least in the beginning. I had a cold and also didn't hear what pitch the song was in. Watch out for the music video!
Well, if I were to sing before a million people, I would have been a drooling vegetable, so what you did sure was impressive to me!
Cool that people are asking for your autograph!
I think reality TV is a plague upon this earth but this particular show is very good-spirited and fun, and lacks the speculative cynicism of other shows. Just a feel-good type of thing
Exactly, Jostein, that's just why I like this show too - it's about people working together to reach a common goal, not about plotting against fellow participants to get them off the show, which I find completely uninteresting.
