We’re at the pointy end of Farmer Wants A Wife 2025, with just two Farmers left to make their decisions: Farmer Corey and Farmer Jack. However, some former contestants have revealed a shock fact about the Ladies — they’re not always paired up with their first choice. Wonder how the Farmers feel about this?!
According to an anonymous contestant from Farmer Wants A Wife 2025, Farmer Tom’s winner Georgie Lavery originally picked another Farmer, but it’s lucky she ended up falling for him anyway.
“It’s so true. The whole farm didn’t pick Tom apart from one person and Georgie picked someone else originally,” the contestant spilled.
Another said she was given her “second pick”, and it happened to a bunch of people who were paired with Farmer Reidy, the banana and avocado farmer who was dropped by the network.
“The casting team try to match people as well as they can. I know of a few people that were matched with Reidy but he was last-minute removed from the cast,” the contestant revealed.
“My whole casting interviews were all about Reidy and his compatibility with me, and then I got put with my second pick without any reason! Obviously, I was happy to, as I still felt we were compatible on paper.”
Farmer Wants A Wife 2024 contestant Ellen Dunger confirmed this casting secret is “definitely true” and shed some more light on what really happens behind the scenes.
“I won’t share names but I know for a fact the producers will ring someone and say ‘We think you would be better suited to…’,” Ellen explained. “When you apply you can select your Farmer and then they have another box which says something to the effect of ‘are there any other Farmers you would be interested in meeting?’.”
Casting applications for Farmer Wants A Wife 2026 have opened
Casting has started for Farmer Wants A Wife 2026 and the application forms give some clue as to what producers are looking for. When it comes to the Farmers, production is pushing the idea of the show being wholesome and that it truly works, by saying “the stats don’t lie”.
“As a result of going on Farmer Wants a Wife, 11 Aussie farmers have found a wife, 9 more have found long-term love, and 27 babies have been born,” the form reads.
They are currently looking for both male and female Farmers, and include questions such as whether or not they have been married in the past and if they have children.
The Ladies application form is vague at the moment, as they haven’t cast their Farmers yet. One thing is for certain — next year is bound to harvest loads of drama!
Farmer Wants a Wife airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 7:30pm on Channel 7 and 7Plus.
