Farmer Bert isn’t a fan of drama, but that’s exactly what he’s getting on his farm. Can he put an end to it by sending someone home?

In Farmer Wants A Wife this week, each of the five farmers chooses one girl to take back to his farm to spend the first 24 hours with. Bert says he didn’t “overly” have a frontrunner at that point.

“Karli, for sure, caught my eye,” he tells TV WEEK, “but Caitlin and I had some great banter.”

After Bert, 30, takes his chosen girl back to Wamuran, Queensland, sparks fly.

“That was a pretty romantic date,” he remembers with a laugh.

But when the other girls arrive, the battle for Bert’s attention becomes fierce. April volunteers to help Bert demonstrate how to treat a snakebite, saying she’ll do “anything” to stand out.

Tensions rise, with one girl describing another as a “crazy stage-five clinger”. At the dinner where Bert has to choose which potential wife to send home, several girls take him outside for a private chat, with one suggesting that one of the others might not be there for the right reasons.

“I didn’t want to spend the rest of the time having the same drama between people,” Bert explains, “so it definitely impacted my decision.” 

But the drama isn’t over. As the five farmers and their remaining girls meet up at a country show, a woman walks up to the group.

“My heart dropped for a little bit there,” Bert reveals.

Who is she?
