Farmer Wants a Wife contestants ‘asked to leave’ because they weren’t getting enough private time with the farmers – who ‘were always surrounded by women’

But during filming earlier this year, some of the contestants were reportedly less than thrilled to have made it so far into the competition.

Some women were said to be so upset they hadn’t been eliminated from the competition that they asked producers to let them leave.
‘[The women] felt no sparks with the farmers,’ an insider told the publication, adding that they didn’t think it was fair of them to ‘keep all the women there’.
At one point during filming, a handful of contestants apparently confronted the farmers, accusing them of ‘wasting their time’.

The source added that the disgruntled ladies felt they didn’t have a chance to form a meaningful connection because the farmers were always ‘surrounded by women’.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel Seven for comment.
It comes after unconfirmed reports that host Natalie Gruzlewski is on the verge of quitting over the reality show’s focus on drama this year.

The Channel Seven series was once considered a wholesome alternative to the likes of Married At First Sight and The Bachelor; however, the current season has been embroiled in MAFS-style scandals from the get-go.
‘Very conservative Natalie is not happy – she expected it to be like the old days,’ New Idea claimed last week.
‘[She] has also reportedly protested the “tone of the show’s promos and publicity, which replicates Married At First Sight”.’
Despite Natalie’s rumoured grievances, the new season of Farmer Wants a Wife has been a hit with viewers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Farmer Wants a Wife continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Seven
