The Farmer Wants A People Magazine Centrefold

On Monday night I watched the greatest hour of Australian television broadcast in this country’s history – The Farmer Wants A Wife. Having missed the last series, I wasn’t really familiar with the show, but I somehow stumbled upon the premiere of the latest series and was hooked from the get go.

What’s the appeal, you ask? Oh, I don’t know. Rugged country boys, desperate city girls, charming scenery, amazing one liners… call me crazy, but it all clicked for me. I haven’t been this happy since I accidentally flicked through channels and found late night repeats of Playing It Straight a month or two ago.

And although I had thought the moment bachelor James asked a potential ladyfriend “So what’s your most favourite tucker then?” could be the highlight of the show’s time on our television screens this year, it emerges that one of the country lad lovin’ women appearing on the show once appeared in the hallowed pages of People magazine, as well as starring on a saucy website! Booyah!

Monique, one of farmer Nick Brown’s chosen five on Channel 9’s reality show The Farmer Wants A Wife, features on an X-rated pornographic website, MX is reporting today.

The pictures, taken this year, show the Melbourne resident wearing only runners and knee pads in a bicycle-themed montage.

A sexy tribute to BMX Bandits? I approve!

Monique, 21, who has a boyfriend, also featured in a shoot for adult magazine People three years ago.

Fremantle Media, which produces the reality program, said Monique listed her occupation as “student” on her application.

Wait, are they insinuating that posing for x-rated photos isn’t typical “student” behaviour? Hmmm. You learn something new every day.

Expect plenty of idiotic commentary on The Farmer Wants A Wife in the coming weeks… until I get bored.
