Original subtitles

Previously...

I definitely like you too.

..from the highs of romantic solo dates...

I could get married here.

I'm very, very smitten with this man.

..to the lows... Eugh.

..of saying goodbye.

The experience is gonna end for us.

Dreams were shattered...

My person is out there. Just haven't found them yet.

..and hearts broken.

Our worlds are so different.

Out here on the land, it's not for everyone.

Tonight,

with only two ladies left...

How's it going?

..and a life-changing decision to make,

Farmer Tom turns to his family.

You feeling homesick at all?

You know, WA's a long way from here in Victoria.

And our other farmers... Hello, hello.

..ask for advice from those who know them best.

My friends are very up-front people. What's going on?

Would be good to hear what they've got to say.

Well, which one do you want to marry?

It's not called Farmer Wants a Girlfriend.

Does he want someone that's like a mate

that can hang out with the boys,

or does he want someone that's more feminine?

But with tough questions...

Can you see yourself moving here?

Can you see yourself having a genuine future with him?

..come painful answers.

Do you get vibes of the ex?

Yes, and that's not what we want.

Very confident, but is it overpowering you?

I don't feel that she's the right pick as a wife

and as a mother to your children.

(THEME MUSIC)

When you marry a farmer, you marry into farm life,

and a country community where mateship can mean the world

in an often harsh and isolated reality.

For our ladies, meeting their farmer's friends

is a chance to prove they're the perfect fit.

A day off is a rare thing on the land.

So, today our farmers are introducing their ladies

to the special people in their lives,

their closest friends.

For Farmer Bert, it's a long lunch with mates.

Do you want grated cheese

or are we going to grate it ourselves?

No, I'd just like two little chunks.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

We're going to be meeting Bert's friends,

which is really exciting,

but also nerve-wracking

that we have to prepare a meal

because I don't like to impress people

with my cooking skills, that's for sure.

They'll just like my good personality.

Bring it to the table.

Who was chasing a bowl?

Oh, yes, we do need one. Thank you.

Thanks.

It is important for Bert's friends' approval.

You know, they mean a lot to him,

so, I hope I match up to the standards of his friends.

Should we be nervous to meet them?

No, you shouldn't be nervous.

No, they're all good.

Bert's pretty easy-going,

so, I feel like his friends will be probably the same.

And I feel like that's me, so overall feeling pretty confident.

Today was one big surprise.

So, Karli's probably going to struggle the most getting ready.

You look nice.

Oh, thank you, I just quickly got changed.

Are you going to go get changed...

Yeah. Yeah. ..get ready?

She's always like really concerned about what she looks like.

Whoo, how good!

She puts fake tan on every morning

and straightens her hair before she comes out of the bedroom,

and she stresses out about her outfits

and stuff like that.

I do wonder if that's the kind of person

that Bert wants to be with, like a bit high maintenance.

Or someone that can get in the boat within 10 minutes and go.

I hope Bert's friends get to see the real side of Karli.

# Oh...

# What do you know

# Life doesn't get more beautiful. #

Farmer Todd came into this experience

later than the rest.

And with four ladies,

his mates will offer some much-needed advice.

I'm excited!

(LAUGHTER)

I mean, it's yeah, early days.

A bit of whirlwind situation going on here.

I brought Daisy back on the farm for our first 24-hour date

and I was just blown away.

This is the spot I'd...

If I was to get married on here, this is it.

This is the outlook.

Amazing. I could get married here.

From the start, I couldn't take my eyes off Daisy.

I'm happy that you're all meeting them.

It's a pretty big thing.

It's special. Yeah.

But yeah, I still need to get to know

all the ladies a little bit more

and try and see if there's a connection there.

Here's these four ladies that, you never know,

one of them could be my wife.

Mmm.

At the local footy ground in Bombala,

Farmer Joe and his ladies

are playing a game of touch with his mates.

Go, Claire!

Claire, top try scorer.

A lot of the boys that are here,

we played together through Under 10s

all the way through to first grade footy.

We're pretty tightknit.

You know, we play sport together, we hang out together.

We all give each other a hand on each other's farms.

Whoever I'm with, I really want them to fit into that fold as well.

Hustle!

I'm starting to develop quite strong feelings for three

really amazing women.

Oh!

The main thing I like about Keely is just how she keeps surprising me.

What have we got going on here?

We're getting your kit off. (LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS) Are we?

This is great. (LAUGHS)

Every time I spend any time with Keely,

I like her more and more.

Where's the... Isn't this the line?

Claire's an absolute dream person.

She's great.

I am glad that you're here. Yeah.

I thought she was beautiful right from the start.

She's fun, she's adventurous, she's caring, she's sweet.

We got off to a strong start.

I'll just go in for a snuggle.

But then... (CHUCKLES)

..the chemistry sort of petered out there.

Oh!

Me and Sarah have a lot in common.

We've both got country backgrounds, which is great.

It's easy communication. It's easy flowing.

Yeah, I really like you.

I like you too.

I feel like I can be myself a lot more

and just really be in the moment with Sarah.

Up the side there. Go, Claireso!

So, I'd like to make all the ladies feel at home here,

but I also have a bit of an ace up my sleeve here today.

There's another two very special people

the ladies are going to meet.

I think they'll be very excited about it.

Oh, look who's here.

I think they look familiar.

You know, who it is, do you?

I may have seen them on TV before.

The day just kept getting better.

Andrew rocked up,

so, very unexpected.

A few years ago,

Andrew walked the same path as Joe on Farmer Wants A Wife...

Farmer Andrew!

Find your ride or die,

that's what I'm here for.

..in search of a partner for life.

Oh, my god!

Andrew and Jess

found love with each other.

I'm in love with you.

I'm in love with you too.

Since the series ended.

They've sealed the deal with a ring.

Will you marry me? Yes!

Hi! Hi!

How are ya, guys? This is such a long walk.

(LAUGHTER)

It's huge to have them both here.

What's going on? They've been through this.

They've found love, which is pretty, pretty amazing.

I'm Claire. Lovely to meet you. Hey Claire, how're you going?

Good!

Tell me, mate, what's going on?

Meeting the mates.

What am I doing here then?

(LAUGHTER)

Me and Andrew have been close mates since we were in primary school,

and I've been lucky enough to see the show work firsthand.

We've seen the wedding invite on our fridge...

Yeah. ..so congratulations.

Thank you, maybe Joe will be bringing a plus one.

Who knows? (LAUGHTER)

I'm so excited to meet the girls,

I can't wait to see what they're like

and to see what Joey's been going through

for the last few weeks.

No, they're probably a bit of the driving force behind me

coming on this journey and they obviously made it work.

It's pretty inspiring to see.

It's a pretty daunting experience

having been there, but yeah,

I'm excited to see how Joe's handling it.

I really am looking forward to youse getting to know my mates

and I want to hear your opinions,

but I'll also be very interested in their opinions as well.

You know, try and impress.

Oh, no pressure. (LAUGHTER)

Andrew and Jess,

they're just the ultimate success story.

They've been here, they've done it.

And, you know, I love them dearly as friends,

so, their opinion's really important to me.

Awesome, looking forward to getting to know you all.

Yeah, same. Can't wait.

Wow, what a spot.

At Sandstone Point, just off Bribie Island...

Oh, look who it is!

Hi!

..Farmer Bert has brought his ladies to lunch

with his friends.

Everyone, this is Karli... What's that?

Nice to meet you. Karli. ..that's Caitlin and Brooke.

The mates we're meeting today are a bit of a mixed bunch in there.

I'm Jordan. Jordan, nice to meet you.

Some, you know, I've known since I was in nappies

and others more recently,

but a good spread of them all together.

How good does this look?

Catch those yourself, bro?

Yeah, mate, this morning.

We are very close to the end of this experience.

Obviously, you know, I've got connections

with three pretty incredible women.

My friends are a really big part of my life,

so, I definitely look to all their opinions.

# Oh, I'll be there... #

Who do you think is the fastest prawn peeler,

Bert or Jordan?

Oh! Oh, my god.

Stick to pineapples, mate.

(LAUGHTER)

You know, you do need

to sort of impress the friends,

to a certain extent.

However, it should come naturally.

Totally, something.

(LAUGHS)

I'm feeling confident and strong in my connection with Bert.

It's definitely butterflies when I'm around him.

I honestly just don't want to leave his side.

But there's

three very different girls in the house,

and I don't really know the type of person

that he's interested in.

And it's getting more nerve-wracking

the closer we're getting towards the end.

Is that challenging, coming in later?

Um, I don't think

I'm usually the most sort of outgoing person,

so, that's been a bit of a challenge for me

to sort of step outside of my comfort zone.

I would definitely say Brooke is the least suited.

She doesn't have a farming background

and she's a little bit reserved.

You know, I want to share with my partner,

like, doing the same things.

Like, I love fishing and all that stuff.

Caitlin and Bert get along so well

in the respect that they have a lot of similar interests.

To me it comes across like

they're really close mates

and they go and do the lads things together, like fishing.

Do you feel like you've had enough time with Bert?

I had a solo date

and then I just had a 24-hour date just recently,

so, I've been lucky.

Bert and my connection

has been quite romantic from the start.

I mean, we always want more time with them

but like totally understandable.

Um...

We want more time with him. (LAUGHTER)

Well, sorry we've got to share Bert today.

Haven't seen him for a while.

So, you know, we're getting towards the pointy end of it all,

and does he want someone that's like a mate

that can hang out with the boys,

or does he want someone that's more feminine

and, you know, a partner?

A lady?

Coming up...

Can you see yourself moving here

or have you got any doubts?

..making a good impression...

Anyone been married or anything before?

Oh, OK, we're actually getting straight into it

instead of breaking the ice first.

..becomes even more important.

Farmers, your mates will choose a lady to join you

on the next solo date.

(LAUGHS)

And Farmer Tom takes his quest for love to the next level.

Later on today, I've got my family coming up.

Just gotta work my charm.

I'm Justin. This is my father, Justin.

Krissy, nice to meet you. How are you?

Pleased to meet you.

..ahead of making his final decision.

Is Krissy or Sarah gonna meet your timelines?

I feel like that's probably something

that I should consider, definitely.

This is what you've got to think about.

This is the decision you have to make.

Yeah, like, because that'll probably break a relationship.

# It's OK

# if I'm crazy to love you. #

Our farmers and their ladies are enjoying a day off with friends.

And he's, like, trying to hold a towel up

and pull his wetsuit pants up and they're like, you know, like...

I just didn't want to mix friendship and, you know...

(LAUGHTER)

But Farmer Tom's journey to find love is nearing its end.

# It's OK If I'm crazy to love you. #

Tom is down to his final two ladies.

Morning. Hello.

How are you guys going? We're good.

Not too bad. That's good.

It is just the three of us now,

so, it is getting to the serious stages of it.

Yep. Yeah.

So, later on today I've got my family coming up.

Exciting. So, yeah.

So, we'll have lunch with them and we're all very close,

so, it'll be good to just kind of introduce you guys to them

and you'll be able to get a few ideas off them on

what they think.

It is quite hard knowing that

I am falling for two ladies at the same time.

I can see a good successful future working out with both of them.

Yeah, nice. Looking forward to that.

On one hand, you've got Sarah who's very kind, compassionate,

and a very caring person.

My feelings for Sarah, they are very strong.

The only real concern

is the distance between the two of us.

She's from Western Australia.

It's a good 3,500K from here,

so, we've got to take that into consideration

when it comes to the final decision.

I think it will be good line.

Me and Krissy have just kind of hit it off.

She's just good fun, good to be around.

We always have a good time.

She's also a very strong and independent woman,

and I really appreciate that about her.

But there is quite a large age gap between the two of us.

I'm 22 years old and Krissy's 29,

so, it could be an issue in the future.

Yeah.

It'll be good to meet where you come from.

Mm, we are very close and, you know, like whoever stays

will spend a fair bit of time with them,

and they'll always be hanging around.

I'm coming up to a large decision.

I do have to pick which lady I see myself

spending the rest of my life with.

So, it'll be good to get a bit of input from my family.

# Whoa...

# I will be there for you. #

Here we go.

Look after us, Todd.

(LAUGHS)

You'll be fine.

Meeting the mates today.

It's going to be good to get a bit of feedback from

some people I really trust their opinions

because I know they're coming in with the best intentions for me.

They don't want to see me hurt.

I just want a down to earth country girl.

Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'd like for Toddy.

Because I think that would really suit him.

Absolutely.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

What's going on?

Toddy! How are you?

Good, mate, how you going? Good, good.

Tom. Ellen.

My cousin Matt and his wife Kate.

They've known me my whole life, really.

Good to see you, mate. (LAUGHTER)

They've been with me during the highs and lows

of my previous relationships.

After that relationship, I guess I just sort of shut down

and I was in a down, angry place there for a little while.

And yeah, they had my back through everything.

So, the end result for today is

for my mates to be able to talk to all the ladies

and get a bit of a sense of what they're here for,

where they're at.

# Oh, for you. #

Thanks for coming, guys. We've missed you, mate.

(LAUGHTER)

Why can't you say that with a straight face?

(LAUGHTER)

All these women taking you away from us.

Here's hoping that

I can make a good impression on Todd's friends,

'cause I really do like him

and, yeah,

hopefully they like me too.

Yeah, I've definitely had me hands full the last week.

(LAUGHTER) I hope not.

(LAUGHTER)

Todd's brought us here today

to meet his possible wives,

or future wives,

or wife, I should say.

Without the plural.

Got a couple of insights into Toddy for you girls.

Oh!

Here we go.

You might not know that he's actually previously

had a modelling career.

What?

(LAUGHTER)

Click across, but you girls can see.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, my god, that's so funny!

I was in a calendar shoot with not many clothes on.

Oh, there you go!

I mean, it was good fun, it was for a good cause,

and it was pretty funny, so I wasn't too worried about it.

Told you he was a model.

Cute bum.

Yeah, It's definitely the most skin the girls have seen,

that's for sure.

So, you girls enjoy Narrabri?

It's way bigger than my hometown.

(LAUGHTER) It's huge.

It's like a capital city for me.

(LAUGHS) Yeah, nice.

Hometown for you then is...

Um, so, I'm from a small little, like, country town

like about 1.5 hours north of Perth.

And I'm from Townsville.

Well, I'm originally from Mildura,

then moved to Townsville five years ago so...

That'd be hard, moving from there to here.

Oh, grilling. (LAUGHTER)

I don't know, how would it be hard?

In what way?

Just moving from the beach, it's so pretty.

It's not a great beach, babe. Yeah, but you can't swim there.

It's not too great a beach. It's full of crocs and stuff, so...

Daisy seems quite confident.

Yeah.

Yeah, she shot back pretty quick. Yeah, she did.

I'd like to know that she's here for the right reasons,

that she's here for love and not for social media, I guess.

He's our most remote farmer.

Fellas! What's going on here?

So, the chance for Dustin to catch up with his mates is rare.

How's it going? What's going on?

He and his ladies have made the long drive to Condo

for a spot of bowls.

Lovely to meet you, I'm Belle.

Yeah, super excited to meet Dustin's mates.

How much did you pay him to come today?

A lot of money. (LAUGHTER)

He offered us goats, but we said no.

Yeah, not worth it.

But there have been times throughout this experience

that I have felt like

I've been going under the radar a little bit.

Coming in a little bit later than everybody else,

as Mum's choice,

I feel like I haven't had as much time

with Dustin as the other girls,

and I think I'm feeling more vulnerable now

that it's just the three of us

and knowing that the other two girls

have such strong connections with Dustin.

All five of us here are all farmers. Yeah, right, of course.

So, it's pretty easy-going. Yeah, yeah.

Sophie and Dustin get along really well,

and yeah, you can tell they're very close.

Anna's just had a 24-hour date.

Look at this! Aw!

Look at this eh?

Only 'cause you knocked someone else.

Yeah, it's...

She keeps her cards close to her chest,

but yeah, I think Anna and Dustin have quite a good chemistry.

That's the aim of the game. Knock the competition out.

I do really want

just any one-on-one time with Dustin at the moment.

I'm feeling a little bit anxious about it.

I've just been told from the very start

that it's an Anna and Sophie show.

So, it's important for me

to start upping the ante a little bit.

Not including myself, but I've got some pretty good options.

What are you then?

I don't know, I'm pretty good at... Don't rule yourself out now.

You're already ruling yourself out. I don't want to just...

I don't want to, you know, talk myself up too much.

No, this is your stage.

You pump yourself up. Oh, yeah, yeah, OK.

Yeah, far out. (LAUGHTER)

There's no dirt on me. (LAUGHTER)

What was it that drew you to Todd when you first saw him?

So, when I first saw the profiles,

originally it was just a cute cheeky grin

in that photo in the cowboy hat.

I thought, "OK, he's a genuine bloke."

See, there it is. (LAUGHTER)

His little grin.

Todd's had, like, his ups and downs in relationships.

And look (INDISTINCT) we can fall in someone,

that's in the same position as Todd, like, ready for love.

Just felt that we had quite a lot in common.

A lot of the same values, ambitions, goals,

that sort of thing, as well as upbringing.

You know, you have a good feeling about it,

so, I thought, "Bugger it,

"I'll throw my hat in the ring and have a go."

I really liked Grace,

and I know we've met them for 30 seconds,

but if I had to go pick one right now for Todd,

just on that one, I'd go, "Hey, mate, go, take that one."

But that's just my feeling.

I actually... I could agree with that.

Anyone been married or anything before?

Throwing it out there. Yeah.

I have.

Mm-hm. Yep.

It was a bit of a whirlwind romance.

We were married within 10 months of meeting each other,

so, yeah, sort of fell in love with the fairytale of it,

and that only lasted about 18 months and I was divorced in 2021.

My concern with Daisy,

that she's previously been married and married quickly,

that she may just dive into relationships,

or it could go the other way,

where Todd is looking to start a family

and that she could be hesitant to get married again.

So, just need to dig a little bit deeper

and find out why she's here.

Bit of an unfortunate thing, you know.

You think that something's right for you at the time.

And so, yeah, yeah.

(PHONE CHIMES)

He's on his phone!

Sorry, I just got a message.

(PHONE CHIMES) Ah!

Can you get off your phone, mate? Oh, a text message!

Oh, here we go! Here we go!

Righto, so I got a text from Sam, everybody.

Our favourite text messages.

It says, "I hope you've enjoyed

"introducing the lady to some of your closest friends."

"For a successful relationship,

"it's so important that your future partner

"can fit seamlessly into your life.

"And who better to offer their opinion

"on who this lady might be than your best mates?"

"Farmers, your mates will choose a lady to join you

"on the next important solo date."

"Ladies, that highly sought after alone time with your farmer

"could be yours."

"Sam."

Whoa. Sam!

(LAUGHTER) Oh, no! No.

Watch out.

I was a little bit surprised

that the text came through from Sam.

A one-on-one date can change everything.

Here's hoping that I haven't given his mates the wrong impression...

and I hope that they haven't based their opinions of me

on an ex-relationship,

I want the date really badly.

Today it's critical our ladies make a good impression.

Grace, have you had the chance to have dates with Todd?

You don't get much time one on one with Todd,

so, it's very hard to get to know him on a deeper level.

Any one-on-one time I can get

is so important

to build a connection.

Our farmer's mates

will choose who goes on the next all important solo date.

My heart's racing.

The pressure's on now.

I didn't realise there was

quite this much pressure

on meeting the friends.

Can you see yourself on the farm?

Like do you like it out there. It's a good spot?

Yeah, no, I think, yeah, the farm's great.

I come from a farm myself

and I've always wanted to go back to the farm.

(LAUGHTER)

How are we all friends with Bert?

I was forced to meet Bert.

30 years ago, in nappies.

We kind of reconnected through spearfishing after school.

Fishing.

Fishing brings people together.

It always comes back to fishing.

You were a bit of a slow burn, Bert.

You took a little while to come around to us, I feel like.

We had to catch up with you... If I hear that word one more time.

(LAUGHTER)

Yeah, Bert's a little bit hard to read sometimes.

Really? No.

Yeah, do you reckon? Nah.

Seeing Bert with his friends, he comes out of his shell so much.

It does have like

a really good reflection on

who he is as a person.

Do you have any tips for us?

Persevere.

(LAUGHTER)

That's right. Nice.

Keep trying with him. Like he will open up.

That was quick.

Yeah, that was a bit... That was a bit too quick.

We'll just go straight in.

Someone ask me that question, please.

I definitely can see myself fitting in here.

All of Bert's friends are amazing.

So, far, so good.

And, yeah, I feel like I tick a lot of boxes.

So, yeah, I feel like I'm on the right track.

I'm definitely grateful for the opportunity

to be able to meet all of Bert's close friends.

I think Karli's behaviour is a little bit different today.

It's not as intense.

I do feel like that Karli does try and change

to be well-suited to Bert.

I actually really want to go spearfishing.

I'm just being me for me.

I'm not trying to be anyone that I'm not

to fit in with them or to please them.

Do you think that I'd be like Bert's type?

I don't see why not.

You're really good with your banter, which I think Bert needs.

But I also don't know

if he likes someone that's like really high maintenance

or just easy-going

'cause like, I haven't really asked the question.

Mm.

He's definitely low maintenance. Yeah.

I consider myself as just like so easy going.

Just like, whatever. I don't care if I have makeup on.

But Karli would always take so long

to get ready and be straightening her hair

and doing her makeup.

She'd have to put fake tan on every night,

and I feel like I would get frustrated by that.

Just, you know, and I don't know if Bert likes that type of person

or if he likes more of an easy-going person.

I guess that's up to him to decide.

Like, has he raised any flags about her?

He did make like a comment of like, "Oh, Karli's been taking...

"still getting ready," like.

Yeah. Um, but yeah.

If he's gonna put the boat in that day,

he is not worried about you putting on makeup

and doing Instagram photos or anything like that.

He just wants to get out

and enjoy the time that he has, so...

Yeah, definitely.

I feel like I got some answers from them.

Good banter, someone easy going.

I did mention Karli in my chat.

I don't want to throw anyone under the bus,

but if Bert picks Karli up,

then he's going to work out who she is.

And that's completely fine, and if he likes that, he likes that.

Did you come in here today ready to like sort us all out?

Ooh, yeah.

Figure out who the good eggs are in the batch.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER) (LAUGHTER)

Daisy, would you like to come and have a talk with Matt and I?

Yeah.

Daisy and I sort of started off really strong

and are still continuing that way.

Everything seems just that little bit easier,

I guess, around you.

That means a lot.

I hope that Matt and Kate like her.

We're definitely all very close,

all of us.

Yeah, we see him like all the time.

We have a strong bond and look out for each other.

Hey, thanks for coming out with us.

No, worries. Yeah.

Ready for some questions? Yeah.

Fire away, I'm ready. OK.

We just want to see if we can find someone,

you know, that's in the same position

as Todd and um, you know...

At the same stage in life, looking to settle down.

He's definitely ready for love.

I'm just going to cut to the chase.

You've been married. Yeah.

And it was quite a quick turn of marriage.

Yeah.

How do you think

that would affect your relationships moving forward?

Well, it hasn't.

Oh, OK, like,

we're here, we're actually getting straight into it,

you know, instead of, like, breaking the ice first.

After I was divorced, that was the end of it.

There's no point being sad over a relationship that failed.

I learned a lot about myself at that time

and I was young and, you know...

How long ago was that relationship?

So, I divorced in 2021.

Yes, so like two years back. Yeah, yeah.

They say that it takes 10 seconds

for people to get a first impression of you.

And obviously there was a bombshell dropped

that I was in a marriage.

You know, from a friend point of view,

they want to know if I'm here for the right reasons.

It took a long time for me to learn exactly who I was

and what I needed out of a relationship.

I have been through a tumultuous path of relationships,

you know, and it's just no-one has met my expectations.

What are you looking for?

Someone who has enough of a backbone

to handle who I am because I'm not an easy person.

What do you mean by when you say "I'm not an easy person"?

I'm not a yes girl.

I don't need a man at this point in my life

to, say, "Oh, yeah, OK, no worries."

I need someone that's gonna like push back,

you know, "Tell me, let's talk about it.

Let's communicate."

You know, that open communication in a relationship is everything.

I think I got my hackles up a little bit.

I'm not here to stuff around. I am here for Todd.

When I first met you, I found your persona to be quite,

like, a hard persona.

Is there any reason for that?

Obviously, no rudeness was meant to come out,

and that was not my intention at all.

Oh, no, I don't mean that.

I might have a resting bitch face, maybe, but...

(LAUGHS)

Say you end up at the start

in the whirlwind of, like, a love bubble.

How do you reckon you're going to fair

in the everyday monotony of, like, life?

I'm very big on communication.

If something's annoying me,

I'll let someone know if something's pissing me off, so...

Do you think though, like, sort of what Matt was saying,

in the everyday life,

if you and Todd, like, you know, have a bicker over something,

are you going to shoot back to Townsville?

I have never run away from a relationship.

If I'm in something, I'm committed to it.

So, like, if I'm there at the end, I'm there for a genuine reason.

I am here for Todd.

Coming up...

(SQUEALS)

..on the surface,

it's all fun and games.

I'm pretty good. Yeah, the pressure's on now.

(LAUGHTER)

But with mates picking the dates...

I would love that time, and we... you know, time is running out.

..the ladies can't put a foot wrong.

It's always helpful if you have...

You don't have to, but it is helpful

if you have an understanding of how farming works.

Really improved my listening skills, talking to Anna.

Ah, should we have a bowl?

There's a solo date up for grabs,

so, our ladies are going all out

to impress their farmers' mates.

First one to drop does laps. Oh, god, OK.

Oh, it's safe as a house.

I hope I made a good impression.

I tried to be myself.

Um, it's all I can do.

Let's go, girls.

I didn't expect to sort of get feelings so quickly,

but I have, so I'm enjoying that.

Wow! Yeah. (CHUCKLES)

For Farmer Dustin and his mates,

it's been a day of fierce competition,

not just on the bowling green

but also between ladies who are vying for the solo date.

I'm going to hit that. Ooh, wah!

That's tidy.

Watch and learn, boys.

Shut it! You know, I's good!

(LAUGHS)

Oh, god, look at the head on it. It's growing.

Soph is genuinely

into Dustin, I think.

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about? Ooh, look at this!

She's not here to muck around.

Yeah, just drive forklifts for containers on a boat.

Yeah, wow. Yeah, right.

Yeah. Lucky guy.

I today got on really well with Belle.

She'd fit in with the group

extremely well.

She's very easy going,

very up for a laugh.

That's all you really need to get along with Dustin,

and especially us boys, we're very non-serious people.

If you marry into the farming family,

it's always helpful if you have...

You don't have to, but it is helpful

if you have an understanding of how farming works

or how life looks like on the land.

I think Anna is really out there

and she's very forthgoing.

They've made it very clear, obviously, like,

they're a very tightknit family and very family orientated

and making sure the girl that does come into Dustin's life

is here for the right reasons,

you know, he wants to get in, have a crack.

Really improved my listening skills talking to Anna.

I didn't get many words in.

But it shows that she's very passionate

and she's very interested in Dustin.

Now, the ball's in our court.

We've got a big decision now to make leading towards.

Who Dustin's gonna take on his date.

That's it.

Go home.

Put your butter on your bread, mate.

See if we can sneak off.

Tasked with awarding the solo date,

Andrew and Jess are digging deeper with Farmer Joe's ladies.

So, tell me, how are you going?

It's... it has been a little bit tough.

As you would know. Yeah, yeah.

It's definitely getting harder now.

Is it? Yeah.

I'm not really sure his connection with the other ladies.

I really am just trying to focus on myself at this point.

I do struggle to open up a little bit.

I'm a bit of a slow burn, if that makes sense.

Yeah, totally.

And how do you think he feels about you?

Um, I think he likes...

yeah, well he told me, you know, he told me,

you know, he's really starting to like me back.

Oh, good. So, far so good.

Touch wood. Yeah, that's, no, that's awesome.

I'm really happy for you.

Sarah just seems

super down to earth and genuine

and on paper, Sarah and Joe

are a match made in heaven.

I completely understand that she can't be on all the time

and out to impress when she's competing

with two other beautiful women that are doing the same.

Yeah, so how's the experience been so far?

I'm really enjoying it. It's...

I mean, yeah, it's been tough, don't get me wrong.

Yeah, definitely like a lot of up and downs,

so, I'm sure you can appreciate.

I know all about that, yep.

Talking to Joe, he did say

that he was a little bit concerned.

They've got a lot of chemistry, but yeah, whether that,

you know, further develops into something,

he's not too sure.

I think he's definitely ready to settle down.

Can you see yourself moving here or see a future with Joe

or have you got any doubts?

Like I can definitely see like a life here.

I mean, I've already quit my job.

Yeah, I left my house,

so, pretty much put everything on the line.

I think he... He quite likes you.

So, he said that he likes us, eh?

Oh, no, I don't know. I'm just reading between the lines.

Not giving too much away.

After having that conversation with her,

I've got no questions

that she's here for the right reasons.

I'm really looking forward to speaking with Claire.

She had a great 24-hour date with Joey at the very start,

but it doesn't sound like

they've had much time together since then,

so, I just want to get an understanding of where she's at.

We were able to get pretty deep pretty quickly

and have some really good chats

and yeah, I suppose where I probably struggled

was in that loss of momentum.

I said to him, "It's just I think that time

"that we need to sort of be able to build that.

"And see what's there." Yep.

I have tried to put myself forward now.

It's difficult finding that balance of putting yourself out there

but also just being genuine and authentic to who you are.

So, that's tricky. Yeah.

What do you feel like you need from Joey

to feel more at ease at the moment?

You know, I do see connections with the other girls,

so, you know, for me, it's, do we still have that?

Like, at the end of the day, I'm here for me, I'm here for him.

So, it's just, you know, I just, I would love that time.

And we just, you know, time is running out.

It does feel like her energy's a little bit low

when she doesn't really know

where she's standing with Joey at the moment.

So, I think maybe I need to remind Joey

to pay Claire a bit more attention.

Maybe she needs that right now.

Next date could be a real gamechanger

before he makes a decision for who his top two will be.

Up next,

it's a family affair for Farmer Tom.

Sarah, hi. Nice to meet you, Sarah.

This is Krissy. Hi, Krissy.

I do have a hard decision coming up.

I've got to pick which future I see working the best.

Farmer Joe gets a grilling.

Which one do you want to marry?

(JOE LAUGHS)

Come on, Joe. Yikes.

And one lady rings alarm bells.

Do you get vibes of the ex?

I do. Yes, I do.

Straight away. And that's not what we want.

Yeah, I know. Didn't work. Because we've been there.

We don't want to go back there.

Our ladies have been getting fresh insights

into their farmers

through the eyes of their best mates.

I think you've probably discovered Bert's not a huge person

for verbally expressing how he feels.

So, if you're looking for how he expresses himself,

it'd be in acts of service.

The mates have the power to pick who goes on the next solo date.

Find out about Dusto. See what you reckon about him.

The most emotion we got off him was when he like, got his new ute.

And I was like, "Wow, that's so good on you mate, that's cool."

That's how life's gonna go. (LAUGHS)

For our ladies, it's a final opportunity to impress

before the mates make their decision.

Is that how you all know Joe through footy or...

Pretty small town. He's pretty hard to avoid.

(LAUGHTER)

If you're both a little bit like reserved and stuff,

do you feel like that's going to be an issue for you guys, or...

Like I'm a little bit more reassured today

after you all saying that

he is a little bit of a slow burn

and it takes, you know, a bit of time for him

to sort of warm up.

The more time that I do get to spend with him,

the more comfortable I am around him and I can feel that with him too.

Yeah. So, that's like, really nice.

I want to see him with just a genuine,

really down to earth country girl

because I know that she'll be fit for the land.

She'll know how to get her hands dirty.

Pull that calf out, yep.

That's right, and help him out.

Just want him to find a genuine girl

that he's going to live his life with and be happy.

Who's going to fit into his family life

and with his friends.

The further into this experience

we go, the better I am getting at opening up, I think.

I don't want to walk away from this experience

having not given myself to Todd and showing him everything I am.

I can see Grace with Todd.

She might not be his first pick

as far as what he normally goes for,

but I think she may be the best suited for him.

Yeah.

Farmer Tom has only two ladies left,

and with his final decision just around the corner,

Tom is turning to his family for guidance about his future.

This definitely is the hardest decision

I've had to make.

Like, I do really care about these ladies.

I'm quite excited to see the ladies meet my family today.

It'll be good to just kind of see how they interact with them

and how the day goes.

Hi, everyone.

Hi. Hi, I'm Andrea.

Sarah, hi. Nice to meet you, Sarah.

This is Sarah. This is Krissy. Hi, Krissy, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Justin.

My father, Justin. Krissy, nice to meet you.

I think I do pretty well with mums and dads,

so, I've just got to work my charm

and I'm sure it'll be a good impression.

This is my sister Rebecca. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, Krissy, nice to meet you as well.

Hi.

It's incredibly important that,

like, I make a good impression

with Tom's family in that

they feel like they could accept me as part of the family.

And this is a good friend of mine, Chloe.

Hi, Chloe, Krissy, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. Hi. Sarah.

Hello.

Alright, well, do you want to go inside

and have some lunch?

Mm-hm, we can do that. I'm starving. Sounds great.

Sounds good. Alright, let's go.

You girls have been busy. Yes.

You've done very well, thank you.

So, you work in the cattle yards. You make lunch.

Mm-hm. Tick, tick. Done very well.

Yeah. Dig in.

Yeah, have a little bit.

So, Sarah, were you born in Perth?

I am. Yeah, I am. Born and raised.

Are you feeling homesick at all?

You know, WA is a long way from here in Victoria.

You know, I live with my parents,

so, like, I miss being able to just walk into the living room

and have a chat with Mum and Dad.

But I don't feel that real homesickness.

So, I'm doing OK, yeah.

What about yourself, Krissy?

You know, what, like, I see how beautiful this lifestyle can be

and it's absolutely something I want more of.

It's not something that I've gone, "Oh, I miss back home."

I haven't missed home at all.

How do you feel like you've like,

slotted into Tom's life at the moment?

I think like,

it's probably a bit of a different situation

than your normal everyday life.

But I think I love being on the farm.

I'm like a country girl at heart, even though I'm from the city,

but we kind of settle in alright and I like being out here.

I feel really lucky to be here.

I think the challenges are enormous

when you're moving

from one state to another,

particularly when you're in a new relationship

and sometimes there's challenges that you face inside of that

and just be a point that I think really needs to be discussed

in depth before making such an important decision.

Won't be a sec, everyone. Do you need a hand?

We'll host you guys in your house. Yeah, we'll do it.

Like, yeah, I do have a hard decision coming up.

I've got to kind of pick which future I see working the best.

So, yeah, it'll just be good to kind of get some input.

So, when you're thinking about making that decision,

what is it in particular that draws you maybe

to one of the girls more than the other?

I think they both have good qualities,

so, I'm probably not looking at it like that.

Just kind of who I'd probably be better off

with is how I'll kind of have to make the decision.

And have you had that conversation about moving over to Victoria?

Because WA obviously is a long way away.

Like they both kind of said they'd be happy to make that move.

Both of them were kind of coming

with the intentions to continue their career.

Like there was kind of no plan of them

like coming to work on the farm.

Like that was kind of very clear from the start.

Because obviously you've got

majority of your future kind of plans, set timelines.

Krissy is about 29.

The age gap between her and Thomas

is obviously a little bit varied.

So, just getting an understanding

of what he's trying to build and produce for his future life.

I guess you've got to figure out,

is Krissy or Sarah going to meet your timelines?

Yeah, like, 'cause that'll probably break a relationship

if like, like if one of them said "I want to have a baby really soon,"

I'll be like, "Maybe I don't."

And have you had that conversation with them?

To an extent, mm.

Yeah, like that's probably something I should consider definitely.

This is what you got to think about. This is a decision you have to make.

Mmm.

I'm quite torn about

who I see it working out the best with.

I'll definitely take everything they say into consideration.

I'd like to thank you girls for preparing lunch.

It was great.

Thank you everyone for coming.

It's been a pleasure to meet you both.

Lovely to meet you guys as well.

It's been an honour to meet everyone as well.

Thank you very much. Righto. Thank you.

I think I've just kind of got to go with what feels right.

Well, I'm glad it's your decision.

Aren't you going to give your brother a hug now?

No, I'm all good, thank you.

Nuh? Alright. See ya, buddy.

There you go. Good to see ya.

He just needs to be pretty straight up

and honest and transparent with it all.

I do have my final two ladies and I do care about them a lot.

So, yeah, I'll just have to focus on that

and try and work out

who I see a future working out the best with.

Still to come,

the moment of truth for our farmers

and their ladies.

This could potentially be

the woman that Dustin ends up with for the rest of his life.

The person that we've decided to go on the date

with Bert today is...

And a surprise intervention.

There's actually something that we need to speak to Todd about.

What could they be chatting about?

It's so nerve wracking. Yeah.

It's time for our farmers' friends

to make their big decision.

Are you all feeling like you know us a little bit better?

We didn't know you at all prior, so...

There you go! (LAUGHTER)

Definitely know us now. You've come a long way.

(LAUGHTER)

..choosing who will go on the next crucial solo date.

Alright, here we go.

Whipped with a fork.

I actually don't mind the fact

that my mates get to pick the next date.

Just remember who made the pavlova.

(LAUGHTER)

It takes a little bit of pressure off me

and them picking sort of gives me an idea

of sort of where they're leaning towards.

So, that's what they're here for today

is to give their insight and opinion

on who they think is a good match for me.

So, obviously Bert and I are living like so close to each other

and having like a heap of interests and qualities of the same

and want to get to know him more

and feel like I want to continue seeing where this can go.

An excellent case has been made.

Being, you know, lucky enough to be able to meet Bert,

I'm very grateful for.

And, yeah, the time now is obviously very valuable.

We're sort of getting towards the end of it all

and, yeah, like I would obviously love

to spend more time with you.

Obviously I've come in a little bit later,

so, I would really appreciate any time I get with Bert.

I'd love the time with him,

but I'd love it even more if you thought we'd be a good match.

I've loved getting to know you all.

Yeah, we've all had a bit of an opportunity

to speak to you guys a little bit,

which has been nice.

The reason that we've chosen this person is

we just feel like

maybe she'll be able to come out of her shell a bit more

with a little bit more time.

So, the person that we've decided to go on the date

with Bert today is...

Karli.

So, yeah.

Oh, thanks, guys. Yeah, that means a lot.

I'm very much looking forward

to the date and I'm very humbled

that his friends chose me.

I mean, you know, we're getting towards

the pointy end of it all

and I feel that special one on one moments are most,

you know, invaluable.

Yeah, it was really special today, meeting you all.

Thank you.

Kind of was expecting Brooke's name to be called,

but then when they called Karli,

I was a little bit like,

"Oh, interesting, OK."

Yeah, she might show her true colours,

but at the same time I do feel like

Kylie does try and change to be well suited to Bert.

She says to us one thing,

but then in front of Bert she says another thing,

so, that's how she's going with it,

and I'm not going to throw her under the bus.

Like, she's just going to be her,

and I'm sure, hopefully, maybe before it's too late,

Bert can work that out.

Yeah, I had a good chat to Keely, mate.

She's alright. She's a good sport.

Yeah. No, I like Keely.

It seems like she's here for the...for the right reasons.

Hey. Hey.

How are you? Good.

How's it going? Good.

Ah, just cooking up a storm here.

Oh, nice. You right with this?

This isn't out of your realm of expertise.

You are kidding yourself, my babe.

How'd your...How'd your chats go? Yeah.

Yeah, good, good.

Claire is super lovely.

She is lovely, yeah. Really, really nice girl.

I think that she was a little bit concerned

that you guys had a really strong 24-hour date initially.

Yeah.

And then maybe nothing's really progressed

other than a few good chats and she's a bit worried.

We did. We got off to a great start. Yeah.

Good to see a different side of Claire straight off.

I do think that, you know, a bit more one on one time

at some point would be needed there,

like, before I can make a real informed decision.

Yep.

What'd you think of Sarah? Sarah, she's great.

She said she definitely really likes you.

Oh, that's good to know.

She thinks that you like her, so that's nice.

Yeah. No... Oh, well.

Like, they're all really cool. Yeah.

You're very lucky.

Nah, I definitely feel very lucky. That's for sure.

Which one do you want to marry?

(LAUGHTER)

It's called Farmer Wants A Wife. Yikes.

She's putting the bloody pressure on me.

A real stitch-up, eh?

It's not called a Farmer Wants A Girlfriend.

No, that's true, that's true.

Andrew and Jess, yeah, their advice and, you know, their comments were,

you know, they're fantastic.

I want them to come up with their pure, honest opinion

on who I should spend a date with.

It was so awesome meeting you guys today

and I think that Joey is extremely lucky

that you're all here.

So, thank you, guys, honestly.

I think you're all legends

and I want to be best friends with all of you.

So, thank you so much.

We just thought that the lady we were going to pick...

she hasn't spent as much time with Joe.

And that's Claire.

Oh, my god.

Whoo!

Who do I give a hug to?

Andrew and Jess could see that Claire really wants to be here

and she's really trying, but we may have just got

a bit lost in everything that's happened,

so, this could be the exact thing

that catalysts me and Claire back on the right track.

Alright, we're going! We're gonna head off.

Alright, thanks, guys.

Jess and Andrew obviously saw something in me

and they saw that Joe and I needed to spend more time together.

I need to focus on,

you know, making it the best date I've ever had.

Coming up...

Now, the ball's in our court

to pick a girl for Dustin

to spend more time with.

..who will get the thumbs up?

We just think that one person is probably a little bit deserving.

And then, Todd hears the hard truth.

I don't feel that she's the right pick for you

as a wife and as a mother to your children.

My friends do mean so much to me.

It is a shock to the system.

# 'Cause you've been my Heart-shaped lover... #

Our ladies have spent the day with their farmer's closest mates,

who are choosing which lady will go on the next solo date.

I think I'd really struggle

if one of the other girls got

this date.

I think it's towards the pointy end

and I just feel just a bit behind.

There's not a lot of confidence at the moment I think

and I'm struggling with that a bit.

The ball's in our court

to pick a girl for Dustin

to spend more time with.

So, how'd youse go with your chat?

Pretty good. It was interesting.

Definitely found out how Dustin has a good bit of

a softer side to him that no-one ever knew about.

This could potentially be, you know,

the woman that Dustin ends up

with for the rest of his life,

and we get to make

a big decision for him.

They're all definitely keen.

They're all very keen. They're all very keen.

They all want a fair bit of time,

so, I suppose a date would be pretty big for them.

Be a bit of a big deal.

I certainly think that

Belle probably deserves a bit more of a chance,

but she doesn't quite fit Dustin's mould.

Me personally, I reckon Anna should have another date

'cause it seems like her values line up

with what he wants, you know.

Hook in, get a family,

and sort of do all that kind of thing.

I think Anna had a date, a hot date last week,

so, I think Sophie deserves a bit more time.

You know, they're all that keen on him

and ready to move in

and they all want a heap of time with him.

Do you go with someone he's already pretty strong towards

and he told us that he's very keen on both Soph and Anna already,

or do you give it to Belle

and just, you know, there you go, even it all up.

Then it's just all a level playing field,

but yeah, pretty tough one.

I'd be happy if any of the girls would actually be on this next date.

What's going on? How we going? Hello.

Good, good, good.

No, I'm pretty keen to find out.

Yeah, you've definitely got a tough road ahead of you,

that's for sure, mate.

Good luck to you.

Did you all agree on a certain girl for this date,

or a few different opinions?

Ah, yeah, it was a very, very hard decision to make.

All three of you, very well deserving.

You're all very keen on Dusto,

obviously, and I know how important one on one time is.

We just think that, yeah, there's one person

that's probably a little bit deserving.

Belle.

Oh!

You got the date. Yeah!

Come in a bit late

and deserve an extra bit of a chance.

Oh, that's awesome. Thank you.

Make it a bit more of a level playing field,

you know, between the three of you girls.

The date could be a gamechanger.

I really have to make the most of it

and just see where Dustin and my relationship can grow.

Aw, thanks, guys, that's awesome.

Mum's picked me

and the mates have picked me.

I mean, now I just need Dustin to pick me.

Cheers!

ALL: Cheers!

Thank you.

Today was awesome.

The girls are all beautiful,

intelligent and genuine ladies.

Yeah, let's go and, um,

see if we can get to the bottom of this.

It's definitely hard to tell who has impressed my mates the most.

This date is very important, as all one-on-one dates are,

because you do get that,

I guess, connection time with one another.

It'd be nice for all of them to have a date.

At the end of the day, you have to choose one.

This is really hard! We have to choose one.

I think there is two confident people.

And two non-confident people. Definitely.

So, I think the two dominant ones are overpowering in a way.

Toddy's not the loudest one at a table either.

No, he has had sort of overpowering women in the past.

So, what's the go? Like, what about Grace?

Grace is our quiet one, I reckon.

We both found Grace bubbly but shy.

Yeah. But just very genuine.

Yeah, seemed genuine.

Sounded very genuine and down to earth.

You could sit down

and have a Sunday lunch with Grace anytime.

How'd your chat with Daisy go?

I was surprised by Daisy a little bit.

Out there I was thinking,

"Oh, she might be a bit wild, like she's pretty wild."

Yeah, she came across overpowering, mate.

She divulged to us a lot about the previous husband.

Like, it all happened really quick and like didn't really work out.

She doesn't seem as if that's going to hold her back.

She seems quite happy to move forward with things.

She said she doesn't want anything to hold her back.

Can I say, do you get vibes of the ex?

I do.

Yes, I do and that's what put me off.

And that's not what we want because we've been there,

and we don't want to go back there.

And that's what he's drawn to.

There was some decisions made by the group

that Daisy was similar to his previous relationships

and we weren't sure whether that's going

to be in the best interest of Todd long term.

Given that the previous relationships hadn't worked out,

it's really hard.

Yeah, it is hard.

Hey, mate.

Back again.

I think Todd will take our opinion on.

Hopefully he goes on his next date,

and, you know, just go day by day,

like he has been,

and it all works out for him.

How'd you guys go?

Very well. It was tough.

Yeah, it was very hard.

I am starting to develop

really strong feelings for Todd,

so, I want it really badly.

We did have to sit down and debate

and to try and pick a lady because you're all beautiful girls.

We had a vote. Everyone got a vote. It was tough.

But at the end of the day, we've got to find one girl

that we would like to send Farmer Todd on a date with.

The girl that we want to see Todd

go on a date with to get to know her a little bit better is...

Grace. Thank you.

Good one, Gracie.

(SINGS) I'm going on a date.

I'm going on a date. (LAUGHTER)

Cool.

Well, thank you very much, ladies.

But if you don't mind, we're going to take a minute

because there's actually something that we need to speak to Todd about.

So, we're going to take Todd, and we're going to go off with Todd.

Oh, that's alright. Come on, Toddie.

What could they be chatting about?

It's like nerve-wracking. Yeah.

Yeah

I didn't really know what to think

when Todd's friends asked him for a chat at the end, you know?

I just hope that whatever they're saying about me, it's always good.

(LAUGHS)

Toddy. Alright, Toddy.

Well, when we were deliberating about the dates,

coming to a decision...

Yes.

..a few things were raised between us all.

Yes.

We were all a little bit concerned in regards to Daisy.

As in...

We see some similarities there to your previous relationships

and those relationships haven't worked out.

It wouldn't be right if we didn't say something.

Yeah.

Like she has a very big presence.

Yeah.

And not that it's a bad thing in a person,

but it probably makes it hard on the other girls

to stand out as much, I suppose.

And is it overpowering you?

From the start I couldn't take my eyes off Daisy,

and yeah, I guess a bit smitten by that sort of thing.

So, yeah, there's obviously something there

because we have had that time...

so, much time together and that.

Like on our speed date,

we just talked, and it was easy and that.

And then, yeah, I felt there was something there.

So, that's why I'd formed a bit more of a connection

with her than the other girls, just from the instant.

And then having the day with her.

I feel like she might be like fun for now

but not long term.

I don't feel that she's the right pick for you as a wife

and as a mother to your children.

I just, I find her very, very strong, feisty...

Yeah.

..clash heads with kind of girl, like, don't mess with her.

Not in a bad way but has that masculine vibe.

It was a bit confronting for him.

You know, it would be unjust of us not to mention it to him.

But the heart wants what it wants, so.

Yep.

(SIGHS)

More to think about. Yep.

Yep.

I guess it's a bit hard to hear, but they're my friends

because they're not afraid to say shit to me like that, which is good.

It's, yeah, what you need in a friend.

All very good points.

You got this.

They're all good girls. They're really good girls.

They're good girls.

They're cool. They're cool.

Ah, no, I just, yeah, my friends do mean so much to me.

That's... That's all it is.

Poor little fella.

Today's been really tough.

It is a bit of a shock to the system 'cause I was liking...

like I do...I do like Daisy.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know,

a few things to go back and think about now, I guess.
