The promo for tonight’s Farmer Wants a Wife (FWAW) episode shows a devastated Ally packing her bags and storming off the farm after finding out that Farmer Dylan kissed intruder Keeley during their romantic date.
But was Ally’s strong reaction fair? After all, she knowingly signed up for a dating show, and she happily kissed Farmer Dylan while on an earlier two-on-one date with Lily.
Speaking to Chattr, Dylan admitted that as his journey on FWAW progressed, he realised kissing was an important part of figuring out whether there was a genuine romantic connection, and said he didn’t think it was fair for Ally to be so upset by it.
“I found it really difficult [kissing multiple women] at the start, and then I kind of got a bit of a tune-up, and I was like, ‘It’s a dating show, this is what happens’.
“Then from there I understood, I was more or less like, ‘Okay, kissing is somewhat pivotal when going forward, because if you don’t have that spark — which you can tell from kissing someone — it kind of, I suppose, opens up a different side of it emotionally,” he explained. “I think it’s necessary.”
FWAW’s Dylan can also understand why Ally was upset about him kissing Keeley
While Dylan believes kissing his Ladies is an important part of figuring out whether there’s a genuine connection, he admitted he could understand why Ally was upset to learn about his kiss with Keeley, especially given the pair had shared a particularly romantic date just days earlier.
“I can understand why Ally got so upset about it, because it’s obviously at a heightened point of the experience where I’m telling her one thing and doing another,” he told Chattr.
Dylan believes Ally showed a “degree” of double standards by getting upset over his kiss with Keeley after kissing him herself during a two-on-one date with Lily, but he admitted the two situations weren’t directly comparable because of where they were in the experiment.
“I think the circumstances are a lot different at this point, because we are at the pointy end of it all, so I think it is a little bit different, but you can definitely draw a comparison there.”
He added that while he’s sure none of the other Ladies enjoyed hearing he’d kissed someone else, they handled the situation differently than Ally and thought her storming and asking him to chase her was “immature”.
“The other girls, as much as it probably did hurt them when I would go and kiss someone, they understood what was going on, and it was part of the experience. Ally is someone who puts everyone first, and I think in this instance, yeah, she put herself first, which is good, but I think it could have all been solved over a talk,” he said.
Farmer Wants a Wife (FWAW) airs Sundays at 7pm and Mondays at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
