The show made headlines due to a segment called "the Swedish Nazi-reference championship." The singer and former Expedition Robinson-star was fooled into an interview during which the program leaders made over 50 Nazi-references and observed her reactions. These included jokes such as naming the show they claimed to work for "Treblinka", claiming that Leni Riefenstahl was a modern director of music-videos, that Joseph Goebbels was a DJ whose music resembled Andersson's, and dozens of other references to the Third Reich and the Holocaust.

She later claimed that her reactions were edited out in order to make fun of herPersonal life
