A Farmer Wants A Wife (FWAW) production insider has shared some juicy intel about the wholesome reality TV show. One of the most common questions about FWAW is whether it’s scripted, and if producers exert a lot of influence during filming.
A source tells Chattr “it’s not real”, and many of the situations are manipulated.
“They make situations that will bring out a villainous side in people. For example, if a girl says something, producers will go and tell another girl what was said about them,” the insider spills.
“They will then ask contestants to go and confront other women about what was. Everything is played for the camera, and it’s not real.”
The source adds that while the show isn’t exactly scripted, producers are heavy-handed. After all, it’s reality TV.
“You have to expect that producers will have an input, and there’s a storyline. If it’s not entertaining, no one’s going to watch it,” they reveal.
“There are certain things that need to happen on the show.”
Our source also hints at some drama to come. When asked if any of the farmers are on Farmer Wants A Wife for clout or fame, the insider says they believe so.
“I don’t think everyone is necessarily there for the right reasons,” the source spills.
Do producers pressure farmers to keep certain Ladies on the show?
There’s also a rumour that farmers on Farmer Wants A Wife keep certain Ladies around on the farm for good TV.
However, the production source dismisses this.
“If that was the case, they would have kept Miranda on for longer,” the insider says. “If the producers were there to keep particular girls on for more drama and good TV, she wouldn’t have been sent home.”
This makes sense because in the past, we’ve seen couples exit the show early. If producers could exert more pressure to make them stay and pretend their relationship was in jeopardy, they would have done that.
In fact, there’s one couple rumoured to be leaving this weekend. A spoiler shared on Channel 9’s TV Guide revealed that Farmer Alex ends up with Eddy. It’s now been scrubbed from their website, but not before Chattr discovered it.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens!
Farmer Wants A Wife airs at 7pm on Mondays and 7:30pm on Tuesdays on Channel 7 and streams on 7Plus.
