A new farmer and a lot of drama

For anyone who is a frequenter of Channel 7, you would have been sick of the ads for this guy because of the absolutely crazy, buck wild, never-done-before decision he makes.

I am no better than Channel 7, so I’m also not going to tell you. For now.

In what felt like a time travel back to episodes one and two, we saw Farmer Jack head on eight dates with eight new women.

It was clear that Sarah and Hayley had his heart.

I was worried a little about having another Jarrad and Bri cousin situation because Jack and Hayley went to the same school, but rest assured, that’s as far as it went.

From several discussions with people about Farmer Jack, the consensus is clear — he’s fine, just a bit intense.

Okay, now I’ll give you the goss — his crazy decision was that he didn’t care for five women on his farm, only four.

After ramping up the drama for the preview, it’s decided he can dump half the ladies, bringing home Sarah, Hayley, Olivia and Monique.

If you cast your mind back to episode one, you may also remember that he can pick one for a 24-hour date, and he picks Sarah.

They had sushi, it was pretty cute.

I guess we should talk about the other two men, but only briefly.

Corey chose Jadee to go on a date because she did the best at farming and said she would move to the farm.

Thomas had a pash with Clarette and confided that he’s still struggling to decide who he wants to pick.

Episode 12 was where the real drama kicked off.

It’s teased throughout the episode, but I have respect for you, my loyal readers, so let’s just rip the band-aid off.

Annie got insecure about her position with Corey, so upped and left the farm.

But before saying goodbye, she decided the pot had been still for too long, so she gave it a bit of a stir.

She accused Keeley of sleeping in Corey’s bed as she wasn’t in the girls’ room, which Keeley denies.

And so did Corey — so case open and shut, I guess?

Annie couldn’t handle the heat so she left the kitchen.

Heading over to Jack’s farm, he’s put the ladies to work; but to not scare them off too soon, they went go-karting the next day.

It’s nice to see one farm not in shambles.

Speaking of shambles, the real drama of the episode came from Thomas’s farm.

Thomas has been flirting with ex-contestant Claire for a while.

Clarette reads the messages and Thomas has a sook and drives off — just fully hops in his ute and leaves.

Dude, it’s your house (allegedly), where are you going?

Clarette’s last words to Thomas before he huffs and puffs were very similar to what I would have said.

“Look how many messages there are, you f**king prick.”

Next time on Farmer Wants A Wife.

We see Clarette work through her feelings with Thomas while he’s still running away.

The truth of his disappearance is revealed to the rest of the cast during a social event.

Chloe pulls Corey for a chat ahead of the next solo date decision, but their lips did more than talking.

Ranking incoming.

I have to give Jack some credit by staying true to what he wants and not wasting time on women he’s not interested in.

The other two caused me to shrink into my shell like an annoyed hermit crab, but one a little more than the other.

I will not be taking criticism at this time.

Country News reporter Djembe Archibald will be keeping a close eye on Farmer Wants A Wife as the romance and drama unfold each week.
