Farmer Wants A Wife

I like it but something doesn't add up with this show. There are 4 women left for each farmer and all of them including the farmer keep making remarks about a lack of talking and 1 on 1 time after 3 weeks. How could that be? Are the women just sitting in the house all day while the farmer works. I don't think they are actually living together 24/7. I think the women are in a hotel most of the time and spend limited time with the farmers, which would explain the comments from everyone involved. Show is most likely a fraud but I can't find proof or testimony on the internet either way. Anyone know?

I know, I know everyone see's the title and thinks another version of the Bachelor or Love Island, but it's not. This show has been running for many seasons in Australia now and has 10 successful relationships which are still running strong.

Of course it's about entertainment and some parts can be a bit hard to watch but this show has a real heart, and it is actually trying to build relationships. It's an alternative to the swipe left or right dating scene that's sadly taken over our modern world.

Give it a chance, you might enjoy it, and if you get hooked on the US version you might want to take a peek at the Aussie one :)

I watched Season 1, Episodes 1 &11 (first & last episodes) On Demand of Farmer Wants a Wife. Having grown up in a city surrounded by small farms and stables, I often visited friends on their rustic properties (picking fresh grown corn, beans, etc. In the great outdoors) plus horseback riding on densely wooded trails so I dressed to protect myself from the elements: deer flies, rough hides, sun, rain, mud, muck, dander, dampness, gloves, etc. In "Farmer Wants a Wife", clueless women arrived alluringly exposed, coifed, manicured and dressed for limousines and city dating rather than prepared for the rugged outdoors in pants, boots, long sleeves, neck scarves, hats. Second, the "farmers" are what I'd term RANCHERS as they don't raise crops as farmers do but instead own large livestock (cows, bulls, pigs, etc.). If I were meeting these men, I'd expect them TO TAKE OFF THEIR HATS in my presence. They were all nicely dressed but appeared to be hiding from the women rather than attempting to interact with them like gentlemen, IN A COURTEOUS MANNER. Are they shy or sneaky? Third, I'd be freaked spending time with a guy I don't know on a spread 3 miles from the nearest neighbor. The show is geared for well-established males, not for single women being expected to give up their city lives and careers.

This reality dating show has similarities to "The Bachelor" and other titles in the genre, but there are four bachelors---all farmers. And the five women chosen by each farmer get to live on the farm for the weeks that the series runs. These women are more citified (to use a rural term) but think they are amenable to the farm life.

Of course farm life is not easy, so the women get to try their hands at mucking stalls, feeding cattle, and any of the myriad of tasks that farmers do routinely. Some of the reactions are comical, but the women really try.

There is also time for some group dating and one-on-one dating, when they can explore their compatibilities and ask more personal questions. Or two-step.

Unlike some other shows, everyone gets along remarkably well. No cat fights or backstabbing. That will make the show too tame for some viewers. But I find it mildly entertaining.

I looked forward to watching this show every year. Not watching again.

It has become worse than love island, married at first sight.

This year it went beyond uncomfortable.

Farmers carrying on with 5 different women. In bath tubs, covered in paint kissing everyone Going nude, Who would want to marry Any of these sleazey guys. And the women had no shame they were on the wrong show.

We expected this for married at fist sight but at least it's one on one.

This is not a family show. They need to go back to the farm. No wonder they are on their own.

Only one farmer had the right idea find your girl and get off the show early with his new love.

It would be hard to marry a farmer after watching some of these tv images and think you would have a happy life.

Some ladies to good for this show it is degrading.
