Farmer Wants A Wife

I had hoped the US version would be different than season 10 of the Australian series. The prior seasons on the Australian version were very good.

In prior seasons they picked four women to start with and throughout the series they received a message telling them they had to send one women home. I don't think they should have the option to send one home or not. I feel it is giving some women false hope. They came there, looking for love as well, not to be a group of friends following a farmer around.

They didn't have special one on ones every week. They can have one on ones while they are working on the farm. They don't need to wait for that one special date. They should know after a couple weeks if there's a spark or not.

Also, I would love to see more of the work done on the farm. That gives a real indication if they will be able to handle life on the farm. Maybe show them doing jobs by themselves.

I did NOT like all the drama between all the women especially at group events. I can get this on so many of the other reality shows that I don't even consider watching.

However, I really do like the series.

First of all these guys have some very nice horses!! Love watching this show so much better than bachelor and bachelorette!! Much more realistic not all the producer editing and women just trying to get media attention!! The guys are good ole country boys which I love and very sweet. One might be kind of a player but the other 3 seem to be really set in their goal of finding love. I think this show they might actually find true love. Not all the drama that the have on the bachelor which I won't watch anymore. These guys are taking their time and being a lot more realistic in this show. They value the girls feelings a lot more.

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.
