Inka Rantanen, a 32-year-old from Helsinki, is one of the stars of Yle's new series 'Manifestoijat'. She was taken aback by how she was presented in the series, feeling that the depiction was somewhat one-sided. The show highlighted glamorous moments such as Inka and her then-partner manifesting beautiful homes in Spain, while she expressed dreams of having children and achieving financial security. However, Rantanen believes that the final edit, which condensed over 11 months of filming into about 35 minutes, did not capture the full breadth of her personality.

In her reflection, Inka noted that she and her partner appeared almost continuously throughout the series, portraying a very feminine and carefree side of herself, which she described as 'silly' at times. She holds a degree in social psychology and is completing her training as a short therapist this spring. Additionally, Rantanen runs her own dating coaching business, which she felt was not accurately represented in the show. She expressed a desire for her professional side to have been shown more prominently, as the portrayal on the show did not reflect her capabilities in managing her coaching and business ventures.

Overall, Rantanen's experience illustrates the challenges of reality television, where complex individuals may be reduced to simplistic narratives, raising questions about authenticity and the responsibilities of producers in accurately reflecting participants' lives. Her call for a more balanced representation emphasizes the importance of portraying the multifaceted nature of people, especially in a format that aims to engage and entertain audiences.
