However, he really tried to get her to talk to him over dinner and it seemed like either she was playing 'hard to get' or there might just not be that much to her. That dinner seemed really awkward. She really took a dislike to Joy so I guess we have our drama for the season. I was sorry to hear about McKenzie's dad's health crisis. I liked her and thought she was a good match for her farmer (I obviously don't know names yet). I was really surprised they didn't send another participant to his farm for the 24 hour date since McKenzie cancelled. Oh well, production schedule... The roping team farmer seemed to really like his 24 hour date participant, but then she really didn't participate in the cleaning of the stalls so we shall see how that goes moving forward. And the Nashville farmer seems to have an historic home site. Really interesting.

bunnyface February 9 Share February 9 I could be wrong but I think most of the women would want to keep working in some capacity. A nurse can work anywhere once they get licensed in the state. The dog trainer could work anywhere. The bartender could work anywhere. Some of the jobs are maybe a little more city-specific but they could do something different if they wanted to. Skills are transferrable. (My mother was a nurse and drove an hour to work everyday from the ranch. It can be done.) And with the whole state of farming today, a regular salary would be welcomed. I question the idea of these couples being able to add to the "200 marriages, 500 children" stats. That happened over years, before social media was as prominent and some people weren't just looking for the exposure. I think the women these days are much media savvy and (possibly) looking for more than a farm life. I hope I'm wrong. None of the couples worked out last year and several (men and women) have pretty active social media.

seacliffsal February 16 Share February 16 Wow, Reba sure showed her "authentic" self to Brandon and the other women. If Brandon doesn't send her home at his first opportunity, then he may deserve everything that will be coming his way. She had some nerve calling Joy inauthentic. It may be that I'm a bit like Joy in that I try to be positive and enjoy life (and yes, I have been called a "Pollyanna" before but I choose to take that as a compliment...). Reba did try to backtrack, but she only knew Brandon about a week or so at that point and was really too possessive. It was a no-brainer that Brittany would go home. I always laugh at these shows when the contestants all act sad when someone leaves when, in reality, it's one less person for them to compete with. The farms are lovely and the men seem sweet, but I really hope the women understand how their lives would change should they end up living there permanently. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8287786

seacliffsal February 23 Share February 23 Rachel demonstrated the allure of being on t.v. to me. She wants to travel the world for months at a time-does she have no idea how farming works? Sure, farmers who don't have livestock may be able to leave more during the winter, but livestock requires ongoing work even when crops have been harvested or are dormant. And, Nathan(?) I don't think you need to take advice from someone who last week was going to leave-stayed because she got the one-on-one, and then revealed that she really didn't want to stay on the farm because she "had" to travel the world. I actually think that having only 3 women left is in the best position to actually get to really know them. The 'farmers' that have more women left seem like it would be harder to find the "one." Brooklyn seemed like she didn't understand that she was being let go. Her facial expressions didn't match his or her words. I think Reba may be the next one gone from Brandon's group. I think that Ty's women were very surprised to learn that he doesn't really want more children. I get it-he has a cute daughter and feels like he doesn't want to start another family. But, he probably needed to lead with that. Wanting/not wanting children is a definite deal-breaker. There's something a bit off-putting about Mitchell to me. I don't know quite what.

I don't live on a farm currently but grew up on a farm in a farming community. Family farms are failing in this country and being taken over by corporations. A farmer today has to spend about half a million on a combine to harvest corn, then turnaround and get (today's price) $4 a bushel for that corn. And that's only one piece of equipment needed. And if the crop doesn't make this year for whatever reason (rain, drought, pests, bad thoughts) you're sunk. There aren't a lot of extras. They are not in this way of life for the money. The wife and the kids do the work also, in addition to the wife probably working a full-time job. The kids drive tractors, trucks, help harvest, everything. (I grew up with 9yos driving huge grain trucks into town to deliver at the elevators. It seems crazy to me now but we never questioned it. It was what was done so the family could keep harvesting.) I'm sure there are exceptions in both directions, but it's not generally a cushy life or a barren life. It's a life. A life with hard work. All that being said (sorry for the rant) this is the silliest show I've ever seen and I of course am going to keep watching to the bitter end. 5 1 1 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8294258

bunnyface February 24 Share February 24 I finally got to watch this tonight. Yes, Ty's bio should have stated from the beginning that he did not want more children. Most of these women went into this looking for the "traditional" arrangement of marriage and 2.5 children and are in the child-bearing years. If he didn't want that he should have stated it up front. And I don't like the "maybe, with the right person." That leaves people believing "oh, I can change him" and we know how that generally works out. The one farmer who let the girl go who wanted to see the world. Nathan maybe? They all run together. I would swear I'd never seen another one of those girls he has before tonight. They snuck in. Apparently they haven't been as dramatic as the others because none of them stuck out. My picks are Grace and Joy, mostly Joy because she drives Reba crazy and I don't like Reba. Melody and Megan with Ty. Kiana and Sydney with...Mitchell, maybe? I lose track. I don't have a clue who the other one has left.

seacliffsal March 1 Share March 1 In terms of the farmers successfully ending up with someone, I think Brandon is actually in a better position with only two women left. I think he'll be able to get to know him better, and vice versa, due to having a smaller number of 'contestants' remaining. I think Reba leaving was really a positive for him as she had some major jealousy issues. She's known him for about two weeks? And she already claims him and gets upset when he spends time with someone else? Not good. A few other women also act like if they are not the 'front-runner' then they don't want to be there. How is that even a possibility after about two weeks (I feel the same about the Bachelor Franchise and yet I watch). I wonder just what some of these women thought farm life was all about.

No. Did I understand correctly, Joy saying she has no empathy or emotion? So are the great big wide smiles just fake? That's pretty ironic. And I'd run from that red flag. Yes, that was bizarre. After potato farmer Brandon revealed the emotional story of his mother leaving, he asked Joy what she thought about it. Joy said something like, "Nothing. I don't have any feelings. My sister and I don't have any feelings." I'm thinking psychopath. Psychopaths pretend to have feelings. I had been thinking Reba was just jealous when she was calling Joy fake, but now it's looking like Joy was very perceptive. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8315173
silversage March 16 Share March 16 Skipping a week here and there is not doing this show any favors. You lose interest fast and when it’s back on you realize you didn’t really miss it. I agree the plot twist may be a last ditch effort to keep things exciting. It’s not for me, actually it’s painful to watch. Not even sure I really want to watch anymore. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8315445
seacliffsal March 16 Share March 16 I don't really understand the purpose of bringing someone else into these groups. If they wanted to bring McKenzie (?) back because she had to leave due to her father's health emergency, then just bring her back. But, to introduce someone else to all the farmers? Too much, too late (don't like it in the Bachelor franchise when they have done it and don't like it here). I am with the already on the farm women-if the farmers bring someone else back, then leave. It is a clear indicator that the farmers just aren't into the women they have left. For some reason, Mitchell just seems like he is playing the part of a farmer and really isn't one. Like, his 'farm' is more of a hobby farm (he just brought his first animal in last episode [the horse], aspires to have a farm like his neighbor's [where he took his date this week], etc.). What if he loses interest in having the farm? I think Brandon's farm is the most remote and would the biggest lifestyle change for the women. He seems really sincere though-and I was totally surprised by Joy and her lack of empathy. He even mentioned that it was interesting that she went into nursing without the capacity for empathy. I hope Brandon finds a successful relationship (whether through the show or after the show when he may be contacted by women who are very interested in meeting him. Not sure what to think about Ty. A bit insincere? Nathan seems really nice-and he may have the best set-up in terms of home, access to other cities, etc. (and a pool!).

Kip1 March 16 Share March 16 Not sure what to think about Ty either. It sounds like he wasn't totally up front about having children. When the Miami real estate woman asked about whether he wanted to have more children, he pretty much said no. Then in talking to the camera, I think he said that in his description of himself, he had put he was open to it because he hadn't decided. Later with the teacher, he again said he wasn't interested in having more kids, so he doesn't seem at all open to it. I wonder how many of the women would have selected him if he had known that. 6 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8315591
bunnyface March 16 Share March 16 I finally got to watch. I was in favor of Ty in the beginning but this kid thing has me kinda pissed. If you're serious about not having any more kids, you open with that. You don't dangle a "maybe" in front of women who you know want to have kids. If you're REALLY serious about it, you have a medical procedure done and end the speculation. I liked Joy, mostly because she made Reba pissy and that made me happy, but that was weird. She said she and her sister both lack empathy and emotions. Makes me wonder how traumatic her childhood was. She made it sound rosy but...she has no emotions. Maybe it wasn't rosy after all. It's not a good sign that I can't remember the other farmers names and the ladies. But the one guy was talking to a girl and she was saying how much she liked the outdoor life and fishing and whatever and he immediately said "I don't think this is the life for you." He didn't listen to her at all. So screw him, she needs someone better. Bringing more women into it this late is a crappy thing to do. I agree with the others that said they'd leave. None of them seem overly weird (Joy maybe) and so none of them should be that desperate to stick around for that nonsense. I think they are all in it for the exposure and not a lot else. IF they had these FANTASTIC women hanging around to give to the farmers, why weren't they in the original mix? This is some bull. I will give an okay to the one he chose for a date and then she had to leave. They let the girl come back last season after a family emergency, so I think that's fair. The rest is bull. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8315809
Kiss my mutt March 16 Share March 16 I’d like for one guy to stand up to production and say he wasn’t going to put the women he already has through this. It’s insulting and demeaning. I think Matt was close to it until a producer gave him the “talk”. They should at least have a choice. That would make this mostly boring show more interesting. Ty needs to date women his own age that have either had those kids or don’t want any at this point in life or at all. He and Brandon both look weird to me. Maybe these women need to find how far the closest Botox/filler services are before they waste everyone’s time! 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8315860

kristen111 March 18 Share March 18 Eh .. the first episode was great. Then it went downhill fast. Girls sitting around while the Farmer tests each girl is boring. Plus the oldest guy who said he doesn’t want more children shouldn’t have been picked in the first place. Not right. One by one the girls are leaving. Rightly so. 4 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8316673

Absolutely not...This isn't Farmer wants Kuds. Hee...BUT.....HAVING SAID THAT....he definately should of put that on his "application" or whatever it is. Did he? And the producers ignored it!? Prolly wont ever know. I'm not a fan of Ty anyway. Date women your own age for crying out loud! And quit being wishy washy!! Sheesh! Ok. Rant done!!!

I think this was a total mid-game rules switch because Brandon has two duds. Joy imploded quite dramatically. Even before outing herself as a psychopath, Brandon asked her, "do you have any questions for me, anything you'd like to know?" And she says, "not really, what else would you like to know about me?" Wow. A narcissist too? Time to go bye bye, Joy. Mitchell has a good group to choose from. He does not need to bring another girl back. I'm digging Nathan and Taylor together. They are equal in their awkwardness. The girl they brought back for him seems like she could be a match too but the time has passed. I don't want her to stay. If Ty brings this lady back with him, I wouldn't be surprised if all of his gals walk out. And that's perfectly o.k. They are by far the most mature bunch and aren't going to put up with that. I kind of want to see if happen! I want Brandon to have a match so badly. This chick actually kind of reminded me of Reba personality wise! Yikes! Maybe Reba-lite, minus the crazy. Fingers crossed. He seemed to like her and he obviously has no one at home so it's a no brainer what he's going to do. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/136643-farmer-wants-a-wife-general-discussion/page/5/#findComment-8320880
