I the final part of "Gift at First Sight", both couples decide to continue their romantic journey as married couples.

She was nervous about making the decision, but felt "euphoric" after she and Mattias Cedergren said yes to each other.

For Mattias Cedergren, it was a given that he would continue to be married.

Rosanna Segerstedt Pillay and Christoffer Sundén say that both felt secure in their relationship early on in the experiment.

This year's season has been met with strong reactions after two of the couples who participated in the programme chose to abandon the experiment early. SVT has been criticised, among other things, for the lack of clarity surrounding one of the couples' departure, which has led to speculation and gossip about the participants.

The couples we spoke to have taken part in the criticism levelled at the programme, and think it's a complex issue to discuss.

Christoffer Sundén believes it's "good that people are engaged".

For Mattias Cedergren, the departures were something that took a toll on him during the filming period.

Particularly the programme's experts have been a vital source of support for the participants, both during filming and during the weeks the programme has been broadcast.

The tenth season of SVT's successful programme "Gift at First Sight" has been marked by drama after two of the four couples chose to abandon their participation.

First out are Jimmi Nordqvist and Linnea Alsberg, who leave the programme in the eighth episode. Linnea says among other things that she feels suffocated and doesn't want "someone to take control of me when I don't want it".

In the ninth episode, Torsten Malmgård and Anastasia Exner also abandon their participation, following a heated discussion.

After Jimmi and Linnea's departure, SVT has been criticised for not making it clear what happened between them in the programme, which has led to speculation and gossip.

The programme's responsible editor, Christina Hill, has previously said to TT that no formal accusations have been made against anyone. She also says that SVT had no plans to edit out the couple's participation from the programme.
