Would Farmer Wants A Wife's Annie return to the show after the Corey and Keeley drama?

She didn’t get much screentime on Farmer Wants A Wife — seeing as she was an intruder — and she left empty-handed. So, would Annie go back on FWAW if producers came calling?

Annie tells Chattr she’s been thinking about this scenario “a bit” lately, and would return to the Channel Seven show if it were less focused on drama. “I definitely would, I would hope that probably it goes back to its original format where it is really solely focused [on] farm life and falling in, like a true love story,” she explains.

“I felt like that’s what I thought it was going to be, and the filming was that, but what the audience sees, unfortunately, it’s not that. So yeah, if it was the right person and someone a little closer to my age, definitely, I’d do it again.”

She has no regrets about her time on Farmer Wants A Wife, but notes there’s a disadvantage for the intruder Ladies coming in when the original women have made strong connections with the Farmers.

“Coming in a little later was probably not what I was hoping [for]. I had expected to maybe get in there earlier, and I feel like there would have been more of an opportunity to get to know Corey if I had come in earlier, so that, I guess, would be the only thing I would want to change,” she adds.

“For me, I’m not a very open and emotional person, so it was great for me to be able to open up and be vulnerable and talk about those things, so now I can kind of bring those tools from filming into my personal life.”

Annie reveals what she wishes viewers saw on Farmer Wants A Wife

Annie will be forever remembered for the drama between herself, Farmer Corey and Keeley, and she’s “sad” that she wasn’t able to show more depth of character.

“It’s sad that I [was] not shown as much, like we put in a lot of time. I know it’s a TV show and [they] need to edit things and fit it into a time slot, but I am sad that it has been [focused] on this drama,” she explains.

“I was very vulnerable, and I spoke a lot about my upbringing, which was on a farm, and you know my parents went through a lot and lost their farm, so I felt like that part of my story would have been really nice to be shown,” Annie adds. 

“I don’t feel like I had [much] of a voice shown on TV. I almost look like I’m a very quiet person, but in reality, I’m not.”

Annie realised during the Honesty Box challenge there was a “bit of drama”, and it was “taking away from [her] chance of finding love”. “I needed to leave. I have a respect for myself to get out of those [kinds] of situations,” she says.
