With the sun rising on the final day of the farm stays, only two ladies remain at each farm, meaning our farmers are closer to finding their forever person. And if the preview for episode 12 of Farmer Wants a Wife Australia 2023 are anything to go by, there’s drama afoot.

While the Farmers tell us they all have “big decisions” to make, on Farmer Brenton’s farm, Rachel and Sophie are talking to their collective bae about Jemma’s exit.

Sophie questions Rachel about Jemma pulling her aside for “a chat”, which Rachel said was “tough to talk about”. Sophie, meanwhile, felt awkies about it, knowing that Jemma was talking about her.

“I don’t know where it came from,” Rachel said, adding that she was “protecting” Sophie about what was really said and also herself.

“I don’t know why Soph is acting so confident,” she told the cameras.

Over in Cootamundra on Farmer Brad’s farm, he admits the “connection” he shares with both Morgan and Clare are strong, but his only doubt with Morgan is that she’s a “city slicker”.

Morgan admits that she like Brad “more and more” and he tells her that “things between us are pretty strong”.

Meanwhile, in Poizieres on Farmer David’s farm, he says that Lorelei is “incredible” but wants her to open up more. He takes her berry picking and they talk about their future.

“I think you’re pretty amazing,” she tells him but later, to the cameras, she says she’s afraid of “getting hurt”.

She then tells him that it has taken her awhile to open up and he admits that it might be “too much” for her.

Farmer Brenton and Rachel spend some QT together and he asks her if she has “enjoyed” her time. He said that his family and friends “loved Rach”, but he’s worried that she’s not ready to pack up her life.

She reassures him that she really likes him and is ready but his connection with Sophie is “holding me back a little bit”.

Farmer Matt reveals he has some “life-changing” news to share

On Farmer Matt’s farm in Bookham, he says that he can see a future with both Annabelle and Olivia and Annabelle says that Matt and the farm is like a “fairytale”. Olivia, on the other hand, hopes that she’s found her “forever partner”.

Then… Farmer Matt drops a bombshell. He has some “fairly life-changing news to share”.

After an agonising ad break, Farmer Matt reveals that his dad has suggested he have a “fallback” for him away from the farm.

“I’ve recently been looking at jobs in the Department of Ag [Agriculture] in Canberra. I will be leaving the farm and moving to Canberra with the eventuality of coming back onto the farm.

“I plan to one day take over the farm, just not yet.” Bro. This is not Canberrian Wants a Wife.

Annabelle calls it a “shock”, but says she is prepared to work in Canberra because she works in “hotels”; however, Olivia is a little quiet and it worries Farmer Matt.

Farmer Brenton and Annabelle spend some time together and she says she wants someone “who loves me”.

“You’ll find someone like that, Soph,” he says and what a male response!

He worries that the farm won’t be enough for her.

Clare and Farmer Brenton talk about how they’re “going” but he says it’s pretty clear that their “vibe” when they’re together is great, but admits he knows she’s struggled with the whole experience.

She says she wants “this to work more than anything in my life”.

Farmer David and Emily also spend some final one-on-one time together and Emily admits it feels “very real”. She says she can picture herself being with David and living on the farm.

Farmer Matt chats to Olivia on his grandfather’s swing, worried about the bombshell he dropped.

She said it wasn’t what she was “expecting”.

“I feel at peace on the farm but I feel like the main source of my peace is just you,” she tells him. Awww!

The farmstays draw to a close and the Farmers and the Ladies head to the “big smoke”

The Ladies and Farmers start packing to leave the farm.

“Everything would be complete if I got my love story from this experience,” Morgan says as she farewells Farmer Brad’s farm.

Lorelei breaks down in tears thinking she may never see Farmer David’s farm again.

Once in Sydney, it’s a change of pace for the Farmers and the Ladies meet for a rooftop bevvy.

Olivia and Sophie find solace in one another and Olivia reveals she has time in the mornings with Farmer Matt, having a cup of tea together. But what’s this? She also admits that when everyone else is in bed, they talk together on the couch…

Annabelle talks to Rachel and Morgan and says that she thinks Olivia is “two faced”. She also says that Olivia threw a tantrum when Annabelle kissed Matt.

“She saying one thing to Matt and it’s completely different to us girls,” Annabelle says, saying that she will tell Farmer Matt that night.

The Black Tie Dinner begins and so do the hard questions

Once the Farmers are “dressed up to the nines”, they walk into the dinner like the boys from The Hangover decided on a Bond theme.

The ladies are also wearing their Sunday best, and the guys are thrilled.

“Bloody hell,” Farmer Brad says while Farmer Matt calls them “breathtaking”.

Rachel doesn’t know if the Farmers are “comfortable in these clothes” before host Samantha Armytage makes an appearance.

When they sit down to dinner, Farmer Brenton says he feels like “Crocodile Dundee“.

“I’m a bit out of my depth, I reckon,” he says.

Annabelle tells Farmer Matt and Olivia that she has some “fiery questions” to ask after they eat and is continuing to spiral about Olivia.

Farmer Brad reassures Clare and Morgan that he will give honest answers and says “hit me with it”.

Clare asks if he could see one of them being the mother of his kids.

“It’s awkward addressing you both at the same time,” he says while adding that he can see both of them being that person.

Morgan calls it a “valid question” because she’s ready for that stage.

On Farmer David’s table, he and his Ladies “cheers to honesty” before David says that there are “no wrong answers.” Obviously, this is wrong, because there are only right answers…

“What are your concerns for after this experience,” Lorelei asks him.

Emily is nervous about his response.

“There’s a side of farming that’s tricky,” he says. “I think we’ve had this really nice moment on this farm and you’re going to become a part of this situation… This is not a salary style job.”

Both women took a deep breath before responding and reassure him they are both ready to “jump in and give anything a go.”

Sophie asks Rachel what Jemma told her…again and in front of Farmer Brenton…again

Clare asks Farmer Brad how he knows the difference between “lust and love” and Brad wishes he could be anywhere than in that seat.

He admits that lust comes first and then “love comes when you really feel it.” Dah!

On Farmer Brenton’s table, Sophie asks Rachel once again about what Jemma spoke to her.

Rachel said that “maybe you were kind of telling me things to push me away from Brenton,” she tells Sophie. Ooft. “Like when your around us girls, you talk up yours and Brenton’s connection to make me take a step back and kind of feel guilty about my own connection with him…

“I think she was just looking out for me but I know that I can hold my own I’m not going to let people walk all over me.”

“Do you feel like that though?” Rachel asked. “I feel like what you just said kind of makes me feel like you feel that though.”

Brenton:

Sophie then says she’s conscious of that and is still “respectful”, before saying to the cameras that what Rachel said was a “shock”.

“I’d love to marry both of you girls,” Farmer Brenton says, but Rachel puts him in his place. Lol.

Annabelle questions Olivia about her alone time with Farmer Matt and it doesn’t end well

Morgan asks Clare if it’s “just her personality” or if she really struggles with her feelings before Annabelle asks Olivia to describe her feelings for Matt.

“The feelings I have for you feel like they’re purely coming from my heart,” Olivia says.

Annabelle then drops a bombshell.

“Do you feel like you lied about spending alone time with Matt?” HOLY SH**. HOOOOLY SH*******T!

“Sorry, I’m choking on water,” Olivia says, before Annabelle says: “Have you, Olivia?”

She continued: “I personally have been true to the experience and I haven’t spent alone time with Matt. So, have you Olivia?”

Olivia admits that they “wake up early and watch news in the evening”, which 100% sounds like what a couple in love would do.

Annabelle grills her further.

“So, it’s like a deeper chat?” she asks.

“I wouldn’t say it’s deep,” Farmer Matt says as does Olivia with an awkward giggle.

Annabelle, meanwhile, is FUMING and says that she knew that they were having tea when the lights were out.

“It hurts my feelings…I want that time too,” she says, leaving the table.

Meanwhile, Farmer David is ignorant bliss because his Ladies aren’t fighting.

“I think love is like that feeling you can’t explain but it just feels right,” Emily tells Lorelei after she asks if she’s had enough long-term relationship experience, knowing full well she doesn’t.

“Sometimes the past doesn’t have to define what you’re feeling now,” she says.

Lorelei then asks if Emily values her friendships on the farm more than Farmer David and what kind of question is that, babes?

“We know what we’re here for,” Emily answers. God, give these girls some wine and this happens.

Back in Farmer Matt’s hell, Annabelle has done exactly what she didn’t want. Left him alone with Olivia.

“I would never do that to someone,” she says through tears. “If she wanted honesty, she would have done it in a friendly way.”

Annabelle comes back to the table…. but then we have to talk to Morgan, Clare and Brad. Ugh.

Morgan asks Clare why she’s more suited to Farmer Brad and Clare says it’s because of her “country background”.

Morgan reveals she’s falling for Farmer Brad and was upset that she had to say it at the table.

“I want her to be happy but I don’t want to be heartbroken either,” Clare admits before walking off and Farmer Brad follows.

Lorelei then comes over to comfort her.

They give each other advice that they need to tell their Farmers how they’re feeling because “it’s crunch time”.

Annabelle and Olivia are still at each other’s throats… in front of Farmer Matt. She then has a go at Farmer Matt for consoling Olivia after she got upset when he kissed Annabelle.

“That makes me feel really sh**,” he says before apologising, because he is too pure for this world.

Annabelle cries. Again. And, honestly this needs to be over.

“I don’t know whether I’ll be able to express my feelings for both you and Annabelle,” he says.

Olivia get sad and Annabelle is pissed. Again.

“It’s all about her. Again.”

Olivia then walks off.

“I feel like I’m at the point of now, if I don’t do something, I will lose two relationships,” Farmer Matt says.

Lorelei admits her true feelings and Annabelle and Olivia HATE each other

Farmer Brenton says that “there’s no major problems with the ladies” and can go home and put up his boots and sleep well tonight. LOL. Brenton.

Lorelei calls the night “confronting” and wants to tell Farmer David how she’s feeling. She steals him for a chat.

“I think you’re this most incredible man,” she says. “And I think it is time to let you know that I am falling for you.”

Farmer David:

Farmer David reassures her that “there’s so much there”.

“Thank you for letting your walls down,” he says.

Farmer Matt goes to find Olivia and admits he is trying to “make both parties feel at ease”.

“I can’t imagine losing you at this point,” he tells her.

“This is breaking me,” Olivia says.

Meanwhile, Annabelle can see EVERYTHING and she is NOT HAPPY, JAN!

“I just hope tonight hasn’t put a nail in the coffin in both relationships at the same time.”

“This is too much. I can’t do it and I don’t want to do it,” Annabelle says as dhe walks away from the restaurant.

OH. MY. GOD.

It’s Farmer Wants a Wife Australia 2023 episode 11 and tonight, the magical final 24-hour solo dates get underway and this time together “will change everything”.

First up, we’re catching up with Farmer Brenton and “Soph”. In the most random of dates, Brenton takes his Lady on a camel-ride on the beach. Yes, a camel ride.

Brenton calls it “the best date so far”.

Sophie tells Brenton that she’d like to go travelling and he reveals that farming is “seasonal”.

Meanwhile, Farmer David and Lorelei are making pizzas, which seems much more respectable.

David thinks it’s important to spend time with her because in the past, his exes hadn’t wanted to move to the farm and that’s a concern he has with her.

He asks her what her timeframe is if she were to pack things up and she reveals she has “nothing tying” her down.

Farmer Brad says his connection with Clare feels “right” and wants to ask her how they will “make it work” if he chooses her. He takes her to a stunning cabin with a hot tub.

Wasting zero time, the pair hop in for a bevvy and a deep chat. Brad admits he was “heartbroken” by his last relationship. He asks Clare if she would consider “six months…four months…three months” long-distance and Clare says that it would put “a strain” on their blossoming romance.

Brad is thinking about “outside in the real world” and doesn’t want to rush it.

“Six months is too long for me,” she says. “I’ll tell you that right now, to make that work long-distance.”

Farmer Matt admits he “can see a future with Annabelle”

Farmer Matt and Annabelle head off on a trail ride. He’s really happy that his parents chose her for the date and loves how career-driven she is.

“I want to see more depth,” he says, after saying that their relationship has always been “flirty”.

Annabelle calls it “the most important date” of the experience so far.

Annabelle tells him she came in “looking for something” and “it’s happening”.

“My heart is telling me that,” she says.

They couple kiss. Aggressively. And Farmer Matt admits he “can definitely see a future with Annabelle”.

Meanwhile, Lorelei has convinced Farmer David she’s keen to move to the farm, but he still needs reassurance his “feelings” are reciprocated.

He admits that it’s “hugely confusing” at the moment.

“I want to end up with a future partner,” he says. “I adore you, I like being in your company. Me as a potential partner, how do you see that?”

Lorelei says that when it’s just the two of them, “this feeling I have, I’ve never experienced”.

“Although it’s scary, it makes me really happy…as a partner, I’m all in.”

Farmer David feels even more conflicted.

Farmer Brenton wonders if Sophie feels like the farm is “enough”

Back with Annabelle and Farmer Matt, they got the chance to get “a little more intimate” by having deeper conversations.

Annabelle talks about the lunch with Matt’s parents and how she inadvertently took his attention away from the other girls. However, a testament to him, he checked on her because he was there to look after “all the girls”.

Once again, she looks up at him like a smitten kitten and tells him that she “wants him”. But like, in a cute way, not a sexy way…

Farmer Matt then asks her what a future would look like.

“It would have to be long-distance for a little bit,” she admits, saying she still has her life on the Central Coast. She gives him a time-frame of six months.

“I want you to know that I am developing those feelings, that I am starting to fall for you,” she says. “It just feels so right with you.”

He then calls her “perfect in every sense of the word”. They mack on again.

Farmer Matt admits that no one has ever told him that they’re falling in love with him, which is weird, because have they met him?!

Meanwhile at the stunning Darriman Glamping Escape by Under Sky, Farmer Brenton and Sophie hop off their camels to glamp. Sophie loves it. We also love how these women pretend like the Farmers choose their dates…”He’s so romantic!” Yeh…and so are the producers.

It is romantic AF and Sophie calls the date “incredible”. She admits she hasn’t missed the city and even though she’s a social person, she can do that “here”.

She admits she’s keen to host dinners and Farmer Brenton says he likes things “planned out”. He’s not spontaneous like she is, which she “keeps noted”.

Brenton tells the cameras that he’s worried whether the farm is “enough” for her and talks about how she’d like to travel for six weeks. He says that it’s hard to leave a cattle farm, when ya know, there are live animals etc.

Sophie’s answers “throw a spanner in the works” and feels “rattly” at the moment.

Continuing with the “enough” trend, Olivia doesn’t feel like she’s enough for Farmer Matt

It’s morning and the dates are drawing to a close. Back at the homesteads, everybody is freaking out.

Shelby and Morgan are worried that Farmer Brad and Clare have done something romantic and once again, Shelby hates Clare.

She is worried that she hasn’t had enough time with her mans and that Clare drains her “glass half empty” cup. Cool.

Farmer Brad and Clare arrive back home and the Ladies pretend to be happy for them.

Over on Farmer Matt’s farm, Chelsea and Olivia are also freaking the eff out.

When the pair arrive home, the Ladies say that they are “livin’ the dream” by being stuck at home by themselves and Olivia continues her downward spiral.

“Jealousy is not necessarily what I was feeling,” she says before adding that horses make her feel calm and so it was absolute sh** that Annabelle went riding with Matt…. but she’s not jealous, guys.

Annabelle throws in the fact that there were blankets which really rubs it in and Olivia wants to scream with rage.

“I just don’t know if I’m enough,” she tells the cameras afterwards. She walks away crying and says she thinks she wants to go home.

On Farmer Brenton’s farm, Rachel and Jemma are also worried about the 24-hour date.

Rachel says she’s “confident that nothing has changed” between her and Brenton and when Sophie and their collective boyfriend arrive back home, it’s awkies AF.

The Ladies notice a weird energy shift and while they want Farmer Brenton to themselves, they feel bad for Sophie, because something clearly went wrong.

Rachel admits that she compares herself to Sophie and Jemma tells her she is “amazing”, which we love.

Twin sister Sophie is contemplating where she stands with Farmer Matt and feels their relationship is at a “standstill”.

Olivia is still spiralling, and cries in front of Matt.

“It’s just getting more tough seeing this kind of stuff play out,” she tells him. “The little person in me…is saying run for it but the other part of it is saying stay.”

Matt calls it a “little speed bump”.

Emily and Alyssa (who get precisely zero airtime) are waiting for Farmer David and Lorelei to return home.

Alyssa can tell that Emily and Lorelei’s connections are further along and she and Emily try to hold it together, pretending they are A-OK.

Shelby pulls Farmer Brad for a chat during the final Farm Farewell Dinner

Farmer Matt is conflicted going into the Farm Farewell and so is Farmer Brad. And so is Farmer David…and Farmer Brenton.

“This is easily at the point now where I can send the wrong lady home,” Farmer Brenton says.

There’s tension on Farmer Brad’s farm and he asks the Ladies what their “highs and lows are”.

Shelby says that she wishes she hadn’t come into the experience so late and pulls him for a chat. She then reads out a letter which says: “I wish I hadn’t come in late so that I could have LOVED you sooner.” WOAH.

“I came here for you and I came here to find love,” she tells him before admitting that doesn’t want to go home “with regrets”.

“I am the girl that you met on our date,” she says barely holding it together. As per usual, Farmer Brad gives no reassurance.

“I’ve got a decision to make and I hope I make the right one,” he tells the cameras.

At Farmer Brenton’s dinner, he has three girls he “can see a future with”.

Chelsea and Brenton move away from the table to talk about their relationship and he tells her that he really likes her.

“I’ve never been so sure about someone,” she says.

The Farmers each send home one Lady

Back at the table, Farmer Brenton sends Jemma home.

While she handles it graciously, she pulls Rachel for a chat and says that Sophie was “foreshadowing my exit”. She also tells her not to let Sophie overshadow her.

In Bookham, Farmer Matt says he feels like he’s given a piece of his heart to all of his girlfriends. He also doesn’t feel like his heart is secure with “just one of them”. He then pulls Olivia for a chat.

“God, this is so hard,” Annabelle says, crying.

Farmer Matt and Olivia talk and he’s concerned that she wanted to leave.

“I need to choose between a relationship that feels right and one I don’t want to let go of,” he tells her.

Over at Farmer David’s gathering of womens, he looks like the Godfather deciding who to kill off.

He says he bases his decisions off how he’s feeling and then abruptly says: “Alyssa, yeh we’ll be ending the adventure here.” K bye.

In Cootamundra, Farmer Brad says the experience is “upsetting”.

“That lady I’m going to send home tonight…Shelby, I’m really sorry. It just hasn’t been long enough,” he says.

Before leaving, Shelby b**ches about Clare one last time.

“I do want to tell you one thing before I go. I feel like you need to know. There are things that you don’t see. I think there’s one person here that genuinely wants your heart and I feel like there’s one person that’s not being genuine to you.” Go off, sis!

She says other stuff about ye olde’ Clare and he says he “appreciates it”, but really, he just wants her to leave.

Finally, Farmer Matt is left to face his decision.

He says the relationship he needs to let go of, is the one he’s “struggling to see how to make it work going forward”.

“I’m really sorry Chelsea, but I think this is the end of our relationship.”

Wow. Shocker.

Farmer Wants a Wife continues on Monday at 7.30 pm.
