Channel 7’s Farmer Wants A Wife has taken a turn, and honestly, a lot of people aren’t loving it. In the latest episode, there was a big twist that left fans kinda shocked — and not in a good way. Out of nowhere, the host Natalie Gruzlewski brought in four new women for each farmer — yep, each one of them. So now, guys like Corey, Thomas, and Tom suddenly have a bunch more options… just like that. And yeah, it was supposed to “give them more choice,” but let’s be real — it felt kinda unfair to the original women who were already building strong bonds.
Even Past Contestants Are Speaking Out About It
Clare Hockings, who actually won season 13 and ended up with Farmer Brad (they even have a kid now), spoke up after watching the episode. She told Yahoo Lifestyle that the whole thing just felt off. Like, the show used to be this sweet little story about real people finding love in the country. But now? She says it’s turning into something more like Married At First Sight — more drama, less heart.
Clare said what a lot of fans are thinking: “People liked it when it was wholesome,” she shared. It used to focus on slow, real connections — people working on farms, getting to know each other, not just throwing in more people halfway through. And honestly, she said filming the show was a lot more emotionally intense than it looks on TV. It’s not all sunshine and cute dates — there’s real pressure, and when the format changes like this, it messes with people’s heads.
Fans Are Calling Out the Show for “Ruining” the Vibe
After the episode aired, social media kind of exploded. Tons of viewers were posting their reactions, and let’s just say… most weren’t happy. Some said the whole twist just ruined the vibe of the show. “Why bring in new girls this late?” one fan asked online. “It just doesn’t feel authentic anymore.” Others pointed out that it felt like the show was pushing drama instead of real relationships. A few people even said it felt “demeaning” to the women already there, turning what was supposed to be a love story into a weird competition.
That said, not everyone hated the twist. A few fans thought it added some energy and maybe even helped test how real some of the farmer’s connections were. So, opinions were kinda split — but definitely leaning more toward frustration than excitement.
And then came the part that really hit hard for some fans — Emma’s exit. A lot of people had been rooting for her and Farmer Tom. Just last week, she opened up to him, saying, “I like you a lot, I think you’re amazing.” But this week, he let her go. Instead, he kept the new women around. He told Emma, “I’m just not feeling it,” and said he had stronger connections with others. She handled it with class, but fans? Yeah, they were pretty crushed. Many felt like she deserved better.
Can the Show Get Back to What Made People Love It?
Now the big question is — where does Farmer Wants A Wife go from here? A lot of fans (and even past cast members) are hoping the show pulls back from all this twisty drama stuff and goes back to what made it special. Real relationships, quiet country settings, and those genuine, sometimes awkward moments where two people actually fall for each other. That’s what people miss.
Whether Channel 7 actually listens is anyone’s guess. But right now, it feels like the heart of the show is kind of… slipping. And unless something changes, more viewers might start tuning out — not because they don’t care, but because it doesn’t feel like the same show anymore.
