Scarlett and Ally may have competed for Farmer Dylan’s heart on Farmer Wants A Wife but they ended up being close friends. So, did their friendship survive the fact that Farmer Dylan picked Ally?
Though the pair seemed to form a strong bond at the start of the season, things turned sour towards the tail end when Ally stormed out and temporarily quit FWAW after Farmer Dylan kissing Keeley on a date. Farmer Dylan chased after her, which didn’t sit right with Scarlett, who’d formed a strong connection with him.
Then, things got worse for Scarlett and Ally’s friendship with Ally returned for the Black Tie dinner and made out with Farmer Dylan in front of her and Keeley.
So, now that over six months have passed since the season was filmed, have Scarlett and Ally made amends? Read on to find out everything we know.
Farmer Wants A Wife’s Scarlett and Ally on whether they’re still friends
Ally and Scarlett became fast friends from the moment they were selected to go to Farmer Dylan’s farm, and despite competing as Dylan’s two clear frontrunners, they remained close.
And, it seems that the pair haven’t let the Black Tie dinner feud get in the way of their friendship, with both women telling Chattr that they’re as close as ever.
“Scarlett and I are best friends. We’re practically joined at the hip,” Ally said. “She’s an amazing human being.”
“With the situation with the girls, we weren’t just contestants competing for the same person. We’ve lived together, supported each other, and built genuine friendships. And looking back, I can understand how seeing what unfolded that night for Keeley and Scarlett would have been hurtful and difficult, and I feel sad knowing that. I can’t change what happened, but I can learn from it.”
“Ally is one of my bestest friends,” Scarlett told Chattr, adding that she speaks to her and Dylan “every day”.
“I was literally talking to them just before,” she said, adding: “Dylan is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. I have no hard feelings towards him. He is one of my best friend still. He and Ally have helped me through my most recent breakup.”
What happened at the Black Tie dinner fall-out on FWAW?
On the FWAW episode that aired on July 12, Ally made a dramatic return to Farmer Wants A Wife (FWAW) at the black-tie dinner after previously walking out on Dylan’s farm.
Ally explained that she had returned ‘in a place of clarity’, having realised her feelings for Dylan remained strong. Dylan was visibly shaken to see Ally return and despite initial hesitations in welcoming her back, the pair shared a passionate pash… but awkwardly, the kiss was in full view of several contestants.
This included one of Dylan’s finalists Keeley, who then informed his frontrunner, Scarlett, what had happened. When Scarlett learned about the kiss, she confronted both Dylan and Ally, making it clear she felt their behaviour had been ‘disrespectful’ to her and Keeley.
What followed was a tense exchange as Scarlett told Ally she did not believe it was fair for her to return after walking away, particularly so late in the process. Scarlett saved her harshest scolding for Dylan (it was iconic!), but this moment no doubt affected her friendship with Ally.
Chattr spoke to Ally about the controversial kiss and she maintains that she had no clue the other contestants were watching. “In that moment, I wasn’t thinking about the cameras or anyone watching. I had my back turned to where everyone was, but all I could think about was the fact that I followed my heart, and he was standing there and choosing me too,” Ally said.
“It was a moment of relief and vulnerability and happiness all at once. The kiss wasn’t about making a statement — it was genuinely an expression of how we both felt.”
That said, Ally can see how some would consider the kiss hypocritical, as she literally left the show after Dylan kissed intruder Keeley… and not in front of her face.
“I completely understand how people would see that as hypocritical. I wish that the kiss had been in private. I don’t regret the kiss, but I regret the fact that it happened in front of others and that it was hurtful to others,” she said.
Ally doesn’t regret the kiss but does regret the timing of it. “You can follow your heart and still be considerate of other people around you. I don’t expect to get everything right, and I certainly didn’t get anything right in that moment,” she admitted.
“We did get swept up in the moment. We forgot about the cameras. We forgot about the fact that people could actually see, and I definitely think that with this show it’s a good opportunity to reflect on yourself and your behaviour, and admit to your mistakes… I don’t feel the need to defend myself because I can see my faults.”
Farmer Wants A Wife (FWAW) airs Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
