More Farmer Wants A Wife News!

2:44PM Jess McGuire | Yesterday, whilst announcing the sad split (yeah, yeah – I know none of us truly care, whatever…) of reality show couple Farmer Ben and his second place filly Sarah, I finished my explosive piece of online journalism with the words “As long as Rob and Jo are still together and in love, I’m happy. They are, aren’t they?” Well, ask and ye shall receive from the gossip gods! Love has come to town – specifically, the South-East – for The Farmer Wants a Wife romeo Rob Hodges. The Mt Gambier farmer is spending more time in Melbourne to be with fiancee Jo Fincham, with whom he found love on the popular dating show. They’re engaged?! Had that already happened on the show?! God, I don’t know. But I’m just stoked they’re still together. They are TOO SWEET. And if the wedding ends up nearer to Melbourne than Mt Gambier, I will sneak in and cry loudly as they exchange vows. More »

The Farmer Still Wants A Wife…

11:38AM Jess McGuire | Quasi-famous couple split alert! Remember reality television show The Farmer Wants A Wife? God, it all seems so long ago, but it’s only really been a couple of months since the show went off the air. Two contestants who had decided to give love a red hot bash once the program concluded were Ben Honey and Sarah Walton, but sadly it appears their once blossoming relationship has now ended. Farmer Wants a Wife pin-up Ben Honey is back on the market just days after a story was published saying how much he was in love with his girlfriend. Honey has split with Sydney nanny Sarah Walton, for whom he fell head over heels on the Channel 9 dating show. More »

The Farmer Is A Little Too Picky For His Own Good

9:23AM Jess McGuire | The break out star of this year’s series of The Farmer Wants A Wife is without a doubt James, who has delighted me for the following reasons. &middot Described by a clearly delusional and desperate potential love interest on the show as “a blonder Patrick Swayze” &middot Has trained his dog to fetch him liquor from the esky. He simply repeats the words “Get me a beer… get me a beer… get me a beer…” over and over until the dog obeys by bringing over a long neck. &middot Chose Cherie to “go back to the farm with him” because “she would keep beer cold”. As she was the only one chugging a schooner of ale during the selection process, he was probably right. His priorities thrill me. &middot While the other fellows cleaned up their houses, put new sheets on the spare beds, and got their mother’s advice before taking two lucky would-be farmer’s wives back to their respective properties, James went to the shops to purchase home brewing gear in anticipation of Cherie drinking him out of house and home. &middot Let’s not forget his reaction to one of the hotter ladies in his pack of wannabe wives stating that she adored horses and would love to have just one on the farm with her if she ever settled down with him – “Go and buy 20 acres and you can do what you like on your own property.” So that’s a no then, James? This may be why you’re single. I’ve missed the last two episodes due to being away at various places, but it seems James hasn’t improved much, calling the two women he picked as his final pair as “rough as guts” and “an aging body clock”. Dissing the women he’s meant to be wooing on Nine’s matchmaker series, The Farmer Wants A Wife, the 36-year-old sheep and wheat man has dipped himself in it by blasting his two “picks”. Suffering from a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease, James first bagged one suitor, Cherie, as being “rough as guts”, then condemned the other, Toni, as no more than an aging “body clock”. James shows remarkable honesty in admitting why he chose these rough, borderline elderly women as potential partners. “I chose Cherie because Ithought she was a character, but once I got to know her she was as rough as guts,” James said in the latest edition of TV Week. “She needed a 44-gallon drum of spit to shine her up! The only reason I picked her was because I didn’t have much choice. Some of the other guys had 200 women apply, but I only had 24,” he said. That’s probably about 24 more than you’re going to have chasing you in the future, James. More »
