Farmer Wants a Wife casting furore erupts as Jarrod discovers he may be RELATED to his love interest
A potential Farmer Wants a Wife 'couple' shared an electrifying moment on Monday nights episode when they discovered that there was a chance they might be related.
Farmer Jarrod was having his very first meet up with Brianna when the lady dropped that she was from Coffs Harbour on the NSW mid north coast.
The 22-year-old sheep and hemp farmer from Queensland then mentioned cheerfully that he had a 'lot of family' in the well-known tourist town.
Brianna, who goes by Bri seemed delighted that she might have a common social connection and asked for the family name of Jarrod's relatives.
'The Page family,' Jarrod replied and then came Bri's bombshell: 'I'm a Page!'
For a moment Jarrod appeared devastated that his attractive date might be a distant cousin.
And it turned out that the spelling of Bri's family name is identical to the farmer's relatives.
Jarrod then revealed that he was I'm related to 'Norman Page, John Page, Roger Page' - luckily, none of those names rang a bell with the farmer.
Bri laughed off the cringe worthy moment by telling Jarrod: 'That's so weird.'
Still, after getting past the awkward moment the pair seemed to hit it off and they bantered about the NRL State of Origin - Bri revealed she barracked for NSW.
Jarrod, meanwhile, appeared to be impressed with Bri's desire to have a family.
In his on camera debrief after the meet-up a beaming Jarrod admitted: 'Yeah, I think there's chemistry [with] Bri.'
There was plenty of drama on Farmer Wants A Wife debut on Monday night's episode.
No less than six women lost their chance at finding love in the country.
It was a brutal round of Speed Dates that left Farmer Thomas dumping Sophie, Edwina, and Ashleen before they even really got started.
Thomas failed to bond with the three beauties, who were sent home at the end of the episode.
Sophie, 32, is a teacher who's done with being the 'fifth wheel' in her friendship group – she wanted her forever person.
Edwina, 29, a radiographer from NSW, was drawn to Thomas' serious commitment to love and family.
And then there was Ashleen, 35, a senior event manager who says it's the little things – like sharing life's special moments – that matter most.
All three have been sent packing however, along with three more women rejected by Farmer Corey - Millie, Jamie, and Ellie.
Aged care support worker Millie, 22, says she was instantly drawn to Corey's 'genuine soul' - but it did her no good.
Likewise, 23-year-old Jamie from Victoria, a speech pathologist with a love of family and a strong work ethic, was sent packing.
Ellie, 26, a Queensland educator known for her empathy and resilience, was also ditched.
Farmer Corey has chosen his love interests and was left standing with Jadee, Keeley, Hunter, Rosie and Chelsea.
Farmer Thomas will be looking for love with surviving beauties Clarette, Claire, Rachel, Nat and Ellen.
The men then picked their final five ladies, who will now battle it out to win these country boy's hearts.
The series returned to screens on Monday and is hosted by longtime presenter Natalie Gruzlewski.
Natalie returned this year after being dumped by the network and replaced by former Sunrise presenter Samantha Armytage for the 2023 season.

Farmer Wants A Wife fans spot star's 'uncanny' resemblance to iconic Hollywood celebrity
Eagle-eyed Farmer Wants A Wife fans have noticed a striking resemblance between a woman appearing on this year's series and an iconic Hollywood star. Fans have taken to social media to point out that Farmer Jack's potential match Olivia looks remarkably like former Hollywood child star Mara Wilson. Wilson, 37, had an incredible career as a child star in the early '90s, appearing in Mrs Doubtfire with Robin Williams and Matilda with Danny DeVito. 'Olivia is the adult version of Matilda,' commented one fan. 'For sure! How uncanny,' wrote another before a third added: 'I see this every time she talks.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after one of the country boys faced a major life decision on Tuesday night. The question of whether or not Farmer Jack's love interest Olivia wants children became an important discussion for the pair and their budding romance. Olivia took the opportunity to clarify the conversation she'd previously had with Jack, 26, saying having a family was all about timing. 'I don't want kids right now, but I have seen the possibility of kids in the past with a previous partner, so I know that's possible for me if I'm with someone,' Olivia said. The 27-year-old added that she didn't want to be defined solely as a mother. Jack was pleased to hear Olivia speak about family still being on her radar and asked her outside. The pair shared a one-on-one chat which led to their first kiss. Knowing that Sarah and Olivia were now his top two contenders, Jack asked Hayley outside to break the sad news to her – she would be going home at the end of the night. Hayley was disappointed but understood Jack's decision. FWAW is the romance show known for its slow-burn love stories and genuine connections - but this year's season has taken a dramatic turn. While past seasons have ended with heartwarming updates and countryside lovebirds riding off into the sunset, this year's reunion promises fireworks, behind-the-scenes truths, and a few very awkward catch-ups. In a major spoiler for fans, Daily Mail Australia can reveal that Farmer Jack ends up choosing Sarah – and the couple are already making big plans for their future. An insider close to production spills: 'Jack and Sarah were inseparable by the end. She's planning to move down to Tasmania to live on his farm full time. They're the real deal.' While their romance flew under the radar for much of the season, sources say their chemistry became undeniable behind the scenes.
