Viewers were shocked when Farmer Tom sent home fan-favourite Emma on Farmer Wants a Wife (FWAW) 2025 during a blunt conversation. However, Emma has told Chattr that she was “relieved” to leave and wished she’d self-eliminated earlier.
She told Chattr that as the show progressed, she felt like her initial connection with Farmer Tom grow more distant.
“He never really made eye contact with me, he never really asked me questions. I felt like he was more interested in the other two girls, but I also didn’t feel like he gave me a proper chance to be honest and really tried to get to know me,” she explained.
“I remember feeling like he got closer to the other girls, basically talking to them more and going for walks with them. I felt excluded, to be honest, I felt a little bit left out. I really tried to be my vulnerable and best self.”
When asked if she wishes she had left Farmer Wants a Wife when she first started to feel distance from Farmer Tom, Emma confirmed she did, adding, “But then they’d be down to the top two.”
She explained that while she flirted with the idea of self-eliminating, she didn’t want to wonder what could have been with Farmer Tom.
“There were moments when I was just like, ‘I don’t know if I want to be here’, but I wanted to make the most of the experience, to try and see if I could form a connection.
“I thought about giving [the relationship] a chance because you don’t know. Maybe he’s awkward and shy in some ways, and I just wanted to see if something could progress.
“But looking back, I do feel like I should have left a bit earlier at the first couple of signs — when I realised he wasn’t making eye contact, and I felt not included. I probably should have left earlier.”
Emma weighs in on Bridget and Emmie’s decision to self-eliminate from FWAW 2025
Episode three of FWAW saw a mass exodus when Bridget and Emmie told Farmer Tom that they were leaving the farm. Reflecting on the Ladies‘ decision to leave on their own accord, Emma said she could see why they made that decision.
“I can understand why they chose to leave. If I’m being honest, I think it’s a really brave move to leave like that.
“I did check up on Bridget that night to see if she was okay after a few things Bridget’s already mentioned a few things herself, and I can kind of see her perspective, if I’m being honest.”
While Emma may not have found love on FWAW, she told Chattr that she’s made some lifelong mates.
“I’ve definitely got amazing friends out of the experience. I’m pretty close to Bridget now. She’s an amazing chick, and I still talk to all of the girls. I get along with all of them.”
FWAW may not have brought Emma love, but it definitely delivered some lasting connections.
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
