Farmer Wants A Wife viewers have been left seething over the latest season of the smash hit reality show. It’s been an action-packed series of the hit reality series, with four women making their dramatic exit during the latest episode of the beloved show. Chaotic scenes that have seen contestants fainting and tears shed as contestants battle it out in a desperate bid to find love appear to have rubbed viewers the wrong way, with many claiming that show has lost sight of why it became so popular in the first place. Farmer Wants A Wife’s new action-packed season is facing backlash from some fans. Picture: Supplied. In the comments of the show’s latest post on Instagram that featured contestant Miranda, who many fans have claimed is the “mean girl” of the season, viewers lashed out at producers for “pushing” her as a “main character” all for the sake of drama. “While I am the first to admit I do love a bit of drama to keep things interesting, I do hope they don’t start going down the Married At First Sight Australia route,” one fan said. “Well, they are down the MAFS road already,” another added. “Why the drama FWAW? This is becoming a big, steamy Temu turd version of MAFS,” a third said. “Producers please get the show back to its original format when it first started, this is beginning to look more like MAFS each season and after this year I am over MAFS,” commented another. Others slammed the latest season claiming that it felt “scripted” and like “fake” drama for the sake of ratings. “This is a gross play. This show USED to feel rather authentic. It’s now feeling like MAFS, which I now refuse to watch, as its only people looking to up their influencer era. Try staying genuine and authentic without introducing the drama and scripted narrative. This is NOT it.” “It’s really sad that Farmer wants a wife has gone down the drain of the trashy reality TV shows like MAFS that you only sometimes watch as it’s a train wreck,” claimed another. “The earlier seasons were so much better.” Meanwhile, chaotic scenes played out during last night’s episode when Farmer Jason was dumped for the third time on the reality TV show (two in just one episode!) and another leaving Farmer Zac shortly after . One of the contestants shocked viewers when she fainted during a recent episode. Picture: Supplied. Dramatic scenes that aired last week showed one of the contestants needing medical attention after she was sent home packing. Nerves and anticipation ran high as farmers Alex, Dylan, Zac, Jarrad, and Jason wrapped up a whirlwind speed-dating session with seven hopeful ladies. However, the romance quickly took a dramatic turn. Just as 37-year-old Queensland dairy farmer Jason prepared to announce which women he would invite back to his farm, a sudden medical emergency brought the day to a shocking halt. As the two unlucky ladies not chosen, Bene and Britt stood, holding hands as host Natalie Gruzlewski bid them farewell. “Thank you so much ladies, I wish you all the very … oh … oh … are you OK?” Gruzlewski asks a wobbly Bene, who appeared a little off colour. “No,” came the reply from the contestant before she fell to the floor. Gruzlewski is heard calling for a medic on set as Jason also rushed to her aid, confirming poor Bene had fainted.
