Miranda Chopping has been at the centre of the drama this season, with Farmer Wants a Wife fans questioning whether she’s genuinely interested in Farmer Zac or if she’s just on the show for fame.
The 21-year-old real estate agent has already admitted that she’d be interested in going on MAFS, which only fuelled speculation about her motivations for signing up to FWAW. However, Miranda’s on-screen nemesis Maya told Chattr that she believes Miranda had genuine feelings for Farmer Zac.
“Everyone [has their] reasons for being on the show, and there’s not a doubt in my mind to this day that she liked Farmer Zac. I think that she loves the drama, and the drama tends to follow her a little bit, but I do think that she had feelings for Zac.”
“I think that she did like Zac,” Maya continued. “I think that she also you know, engaged a lot with the drama throughout the season, which doesn’t really align with me… We’re two different people.”
Maya went on to say that she believes Miranda’s feelings for Zac were reciprocated, and that she thinks he got a bit swept away with the exciting energy she has.
“I think Zach… he’s a shy boy around pretty girls. I think that Miranda is very confident and sure of herself, and I think that that’s a quality that Zach’s attracted to,” she explained.
Maya reveals if Miranda got a bad edit on Farmer Wants a Wife
Miranda has unofficially been dubbed the villain of FWAW 2026, with one fan claiming “she’s not a nice person at all”. And, Maya has revealed what Miranda was like in person, and whether she copped a bad edit on the show.
“I think that an edit can definitely exaggerate a personality,” Maya pointed out diplomatically, adding: “Did she say all of these things in the first place? I guess so, but I do think that a bad edit, can make everything look 10 times worse.”
Maya admitted that she didn’t know half the mean things Miranda said about her behind her back until she watched it back on TV.
“I didn’t realise that what she had said about me to that extent, I’m still watching it, and it’s not nice, it’s not something that I align with, but it’s who she is.”
Miranda responds to getting the ‘villain edit’ on Farmer Wants a Wife 2026
In an interview with Chattr, Miranda acknowledged that she’s been knows she’s been presented as a ‘villain’ this season and said she wasn’t surprised that her confidence to be perceived that way.
“I was definitely aware that confidence can sometimes be misunderstood, especially when condensed into a TV show where people only see small parts of who you are… I’d rather be confident in who I am than pretend to be someone else,” Miranda continued.
“I think I’m just straight up and direct, and there’s nothing wrong with that… but anyone who knows me, knows what I’m actually like.”
Miranda added that she just tells it like it is, which is a trait that isn’t always received well.
“I just completely agree with being straight up. I think it’s better to be saying how it is completely rather than beating around the bush, or talking about something behind someone else’s back. If you have an issue, say it to that person’s face directly and get it sorted out, what’s the point of being fake?”
Farmer Wants a Wife airs Sunday – Tuesday on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
