Latest twists in Farmer Wants a Wife and that icy farm farewell confrontation
Just when we thought we were getting to the pointy end of the stick of this season of Farmer Wants a Wife, no, Nat throws a spanner in the works and brings in a fresh bunch of potential wives.
But first, there is much excitement this week, as they prepare for a calendar photoshoot for Rural Aid.
Yes, you read that correctly.
While Farmer Tom wastes no time stripping off to jump in the bathtub naked and in a pile of fleece while the ladies get snapping.
Farmer Thomas modestly announces he is Mr December because he's "a gift".
It's here that we find out Clarette is a little touchy after his date with Ellen the previous night and launches a full-blown investigation into it - who kissed who, did she ask permission to kiss Thomas, was it a good kiss, etc.
Then it's off to the Harvest Festival, where the farmers and their ladies all catch up.
Upon arrival, we see there's a kissing booth, which no doubt Clarette will be watching like a hawk.
Farmer Thomas admits to catching up with his original strongest contender Claire to the other farmers, as a way to find closure on her unexpected departure.
He explains that Clarette was a tad cranky by this decision. So that's two strikes at the moment.
"Yikes," Farmer Corey remarks.
Host Nat arrives and announces she has rounded up a new bunch of potential wives and with no further ado, in the 12 of them stroll clapping and squealing with excitement.
"Here's trouble coming over," the newly liberated Farmer Tom says.
They enjoy a session of dry apple bobbing, where the apples are tied to tree branches on string and the competitors must try and grab them in their mouth.
It's like eating spaghetti on a first date, nobody looks good doing it.
Surely pin the tail on the donkey was next until they were interrupted without warning, by the original ladies who are less than impressed to find their turf has been set upon by a bunch of intruders.
Then Nat tells each farmer they must select only five ladies to accompany them back to the farm, meaning a double farewell is on the cards.
But first, Ellen decides she's going home because she feels like they don't have a strong enough emotional connection.
So she tells Farmer Thomas she is pulling out of the race.
It must be deja vu for him after Claire cited the same reason for her premature departure.
Farmer Tom tells viewers things aren't going to work out with Emma, but Emma remains optimistic and tells us he is going in for another kiss, so it an incredibly awkward watch when he pulls her aside to tell her the bad news.
Then after been given the cold shoulder by Clarette all day at the Harvest Festival, Farmer Thomas pinches some flower decorations off the table and pulls her aside in an attempt to earn her trust again.
He apologises for catching up with Claire, but she takes a while to thaw out.
So he gets down on one knee...and begs her to forgive him.
That does the trick. She's reassured he sees a future with her and they kiss.
"If I screw up, get the cattle prodder out and zap me," he instructs Clarette.
Then it's back to the farms for everyone; the newbies are excited, the originals not so much.
One optimistic new contender arrives at the homestead and announce she "can't wait to raise some kids here".
It's not just hearts breaking on this program, one of Farmer Tom's new arrivals jumps on the bed and swiftly snaps the legs on it.
Hopefully, her farmstay doesn't remain on that plummeting trajectory.
All the farmers take the newbies out on group dates to get to know them better, again the newbies are a bit more enthusiastic about this idea than the originals.
Farmer Tom asks Tijan what she loved the most about the farm so far, and she says "nothing yet".
The writing is on the wall there.
They return to awkward scenes and suspicions are running high among the originals as to what they may have all got up to.
Clarette is most concerned about it, especially after she missed out on a tractor ride earlier in the day while all the other ladies got a go for a spin with Farmer Thomas.
Before we know it there's another farm farewell.

Samantha Armytage's estranged husband Richard Lavender reportedly offered spot on revamped Farmer Wants a Wife
Samantha Armytage's ex-employer Channel 7 is reportedly 'determined' to lock in her estranged husband Richard Lavender for a revamp of Farmer Wants a Wife. Armytage, 48, announced her separation from Lavender, 61, in December just weeks before their fourth wedding anniversary. The split came months after Armytage's equally shocking professional separation from Seven in favour of a plum new gig hosting The Golden Bachelor on rival Channel 9. The Golden Bachelor is a new twist on the popular Bachelor dating franchise and will see a group of older Australians competing for the hearts of Barry 'Bear' Myrden, a widower in his 50s from Manly in Sydney's Northern Beaches. Seven is reportedly planning to revamp the 2026 season of Farmer Wants a Wife Australia – which Armytage previously hosted – to feature older farmers and take on the Golden Bachelor head on. According to a Seven production source who spoke to New Idea magazine on Monday, Armytage's estranged husband is at the top of the casting list. 'Production doesn't want the format becoming stale, and they're desperate to give the show a fresh new look and format in a bid to rival its growing competitors,' the source said. 'Channel Seven is determined to convince former Farmer host Samantha Armytage's ex-husband Richard Lavender to front a Golden Farmer series.' The source claimed that Armytage would likely see the move as an insult, especially after Lavender shunned the spotlight throughout his marriage to the ex-Sunrise host. 'Sam wouldn't love the idea of Richard being involved in Farmer, in fact she would probably see it as a bit of an insult, but she is the one that had him pose for magazine covers and put his name in the spotlight, he's of interest because of his high profile marriage and separation to Sam,' the source said. The split shocked some industry insiders, especially after Armytage herself told Woman's Day that she quit her role hosting breakfast television show Sunrise to live at Lavender's 40-hectare estate in New South Wales' Southern Highlands. Following the break up, sources told Daily Mail Australia that a contributing factor to the split was allegedly tension between Lavender's adult children and Armytage. It is understood the TV star has left the countryside and decamped back to Sydney's eastern suburbs amid her divorce.

Cook Up's Adam Liaw shows off his magic oven
One of the impressive things about this show is how Liaw and the guests can carry on a conversation while cooking. Well, it's impressive to me, anyway. If I'm putting a meal together, I have to focus on that and any potential discussion goes by the wayside. But the guests here - chef Mark Olive and Food Safari's Maeve O'Meara don't seem to have any problems with that at all. As a tie-in with it being SBS's 50th this year, they're making Special Broadcasting Suppers. Because the initials are SBS, geddit? For me, the winner is Liaw's Portugeuse roast chicken rice. Though it is a little jarring to see him put the chicken in the oven and seemingly pull it back out seconds later completely cooked. There's not even a hint of "here's one I prepared earlier". The only explanation is that Liaw has a magic oven. What has happened to this show? It used to be an oasis of wholesomeness in the oft-sleazy world of dating shows (yeah, MAFS, I'm talking about you). But in this season, things have gone really pear-shaped. Two farmers were allegedly axed before the show went to air for hooking up with other women during the production. So, more Farmer Wants a Booty Call than anything else. Now, Farmer Thomas appears to have been texting one of the women who had already left the farm, while the remaining ladies were trying to woo him. That saw him leave his own farm at the end of the last episode. And probably had the producers rubbing their hands with glee about all the plotlines this delivered. In tonight's episode, the farmers and the ladies are all going to a "Country Ball", which sounds like a rural tradition but is really a staged event where they are the only attendees. The big mystery is whether or not Farmer Thomas will come back to the farm or if the ladies will have to bring in the wheat themselves during harvest time. The title of this series about mixed martial arts definitely suggests some nefarious dealings. But that's not the case, at least not in this first episode. The episode deals with a fighter named Kimbo Slice, who became famous on the internet for his videos of illegal bare-knuckle backyard fights. That fame led him to look at becoming an MMA fighter - well, the fame and the fact he could make a lot more money that way compared to punching on with people in a suburban backyard. Once he developed some wrestling skills rather than just relying on his fists, Slice did pretty well in the cage. He did pretty well out of it as well, becoming one of the sport's recognised faces and appearing on plenty of talk shows. But he was facing some serious health problems. It was known that he suffered high blood pressure but what wasn't known is that it was linked to an enlarged heart. At the age of 42, when he was on the list for a heart transplant, Slice was feeling unwell and was admitted to hospital. Three days later he died from congestive heart failure. So this episode is more about the Sad Side of The Cage, rather than the Dark Side. One of the impressive things about this show is how Liaw and the guests can carry on a conversation while cooking.

'Farmer wow': tanties, texts and the 'chills you get walking home alone at night'
Farmer Wow! The 'previously on' package has given me chills down my spine as Farmer Tom tells Georgie in the most monotone, expressionless way that he has "fallen head over heels" for her. And not romantic chills either, more like the chills you get when you're walking home alone at night and you sense someone is following you. I can only hope that his flat affect is setting the scene for another fantastic episode of Farmer Wants a Wife. I am pretty bummed out to realise I missed seeing Farmer Corey's family and friends interrogating those poor, unsuspecting women. I wonder if any of these people have worked for ASIO? Farmer Corey - The lack of self-awareness is astounding as Farmer Corey gloats that his friends and family are the best ones to pick the love of his life because 'they know why my past relationships haven't worked'. Maybe he would know the reason, too, if he were a little more present. - Keeley goes in for the old 'Spiderman-style' upside-down kiss, and then backs it up later with some over-the-shirt action by the fire. Good for you Keeley. - I can't believe we're this far along in the season and Corey still has a shocked look on his face every time a woman reminds him they live in another state and might not be able to move at the drop of an Akubra. - Turns out Corey is behind on his farm chores, so he rallies the women to get the harvest to town. Nothing like a bit of free labour to increase on-farm income, just don't tell the ATO. - Jadee final gets some screentime but all Corey can think about is when she's moving in. He has a mortgage to pay and he's keen to go halvesies ASAP. She signs the tentative shareholder agreement with a snog. Farmer Thomas - Taking a plane ride to get to know someone seems like the best way to deal with rejection if it doesn't work out. - Poor Clarette is begging for old mate to communicate with her, but getting a compliment out of Thomas seems to be harder than finding the bung in an algae-filled trough. - Nothing says romance like tartan and Primo Twiggy Sticks, and Rachel can't help but succumb to Thomas' charms. - Thomas lines the women up and lets them know that he has a 'fun day' planned for them. Which is what my dad used to say to me before he'd leave me down the back paddock to rip out old fence posts. Apparently, his heart needs to know who can change a tractor tyre. - Clarette is sneaking around the side verandah to get Farmer T's attention. The camera does a quick pan to his hand rubbing the bit between her lower back and upper bum before they have a big old smooch. Farmer Jack - Who the hell is this guy? - He's nervous, excited and optimistic: sounds like every farmer who's just seen rain on the BoM radar. - He's looking for a woman who is 'down to earth, has a good sense of humour and someone who loves the outdoors'. I feel like he just described the majority of the alas, let the speed-dating begin! - Gold Coast-based Hayley is ready to play out the 'popular girl falls for the outcast' trope in some sort of Superbad meets Sweet Home Alabama mashup. They admit to ignoring each other in high school, but the uplifting music is making me think she's already won. Only time will tell. - Jack is happy to hear that Monique, the brickie, is no stranger to hard work, and it's starting to feel like these farmers are all just looking for a lackey. - After some consultation with the producer, he chose Sarah, Hayley, Olivia, and Monique. - Sarah gets to go back to the farm before the other women arrive, giving her a 24-hour advantage. - Jack takes Sarah out the back door to let her know that everything the light touches could be hers one day, and generously lets her name a few cows to show how serious he is. They reckon there would be some drama in this episode, and it's about blooming time. Farmer Jack: Back at the farm, new 10-year-old Farmer Jack attempts to master the smoulder as he wanders amongst his cows. Unfortunately, it comes across more as a lost primary school student considering a future of petty crime. - A carload of women yelling 'look at those bulls!' turns up. I just need to note toddler farmer Jack's bull is called Sponge Bob. - He says it's not a deal breaker if they can't work on the farm. He then gives them the crappiest job possible on a dairy - cleaning the milking shed. He makes Hayley shove her arm down a drain and pull out handfuls of poo. - The toddler takes his girls go-karting. GO-KARTING. They pull on hair nets and bore around. Sarah has a meltdown because she drives a go-kart like an 87-year-old woman trying to unwrap a barley sugar. - Meanwhile, the toddler and whoever was in his cart can't hear each other. This is how the conversation went: Him: I'm in primary school. Her: I like you toooo! Him: I look like a hobbit. Her: Thank you. My mum gave it to me. - After her crap driving, Sarah attaches herself to Bilbo Baggins, and incessantly rubs his nipple. - All the girls are staying in his play pen. Farmer Corey: - Corey and his girls go to play touch football - seeing five people attempt to play touch is like watching a goat trying to extract its head from a bucket. - Annie is cranky as a newly-spayed cow, and forces Corey into a conversation where she declares her worth. "I KNOW I'M A CATCHHHHH!'. She is so humble. - The whole of Biloela - so 10 people - turn out to watch them play the local team, who appear to be children. The farmer team shows the practice session earlier did not pay off. Farmer Corey doesn't pass the ball to Annie, so she's filthy. - That night at dinner, Annie chucks a tanty because she reckons Keeley is sneaking off to Corey's bed at night. They hiss at each other over the table, and when he returns to tears and scowls, Detective Corey senses there's drama. Keeley and Corey say nothing went on, Annie runs off crying, decides to break up with Corey before he dumps her, and leaves. Farmer Thomas: - Thomas' girls head to the coast on a perfect beach day - windy and gloomy. Thanks again, BoM. Clarette is sticky as a tick in the tropics, and gets the poos when other girls want to see their boyfriend. - But back at the farm, more poop is brewing than in Farmer Jack's dairy drain. Thomas got a text from Claire - you know the girl who left weeks ago? The girls are fuming like a shearer who turns up to full sheep. Farmer Thomas is very respectful towards Claire. "She's dead to me," he declares. He admits he sent Claire a photo of a tractor. Clarette does not want the tractor compromised. - Thomas sends a text to Claire to tell her to bugger off. He then gets cranky with the cameras following him - on a REALITY TV SHOW. Clarette wants to see the messages - there's more there than EBVs for a top-selling bull. He admits to flirting and Clarette calls him names that we got our mouths washed out with soap for. Thomas has had enough - and does a big burn-out in the dirt in the ute and drives away. We're so glad the production crew thought to include the sound of tyres screeching on bitumen for this scene. Farmer Wow! The 'previously on' package has given me chills down my spine as Farmer Tom tells Georgie in the most monotone, expressionless way that he has "fallen head over heels" for her. And not romantic chills either, more like the chills you get when you're walking home alone at night and you sense someone is following you. I can only hope that his flat affect is setting the scene for another fantastic episode of Farmer Wants a Wife. I am pretty bummed out to realise I missed seeing Farmer Corey's family and friends interrogating those poor, unsuspecting women. I wonder if any of these people have worked for ASIO? Farmer Corey - The lack of self-awareness is astounding as Farmer Corey gloats that his friends and family are the best ones to pick the love of his life because 'they know why my past relationships haven't worked'. Maybe he would know the reason, too, if he were a little more present. - Keeley goes in for the old 'Spiderman-style' upside-down kiss, and then backs it up later with some over-the-shirt action by the fire. Good for you Keeley. - I can't believe we're this far along in the season and Corey still has a shocked look on his face every time a woman reminds him they live in another state and might not be able to move at the drop of an Akubra. - Turns out Corey is behind on his farm chores, so he rallies the women to get the harvest to town. Nothing like a bit of free labour to increase on-farm income, just don't tell the ATO. - Jadee final gets some screentime but all Corey can think about is when she's moving in. He has a mortgage to pay and he's keen to go halvesies ASAP. She signs the tentative shareholder agreement with a snog. Farmer Thomas - Taking a plane ride to get to know someone seems like the best way to deal with rejection if it doesn't work out. - Poor Clarette is begging for old mate to communicate with her, but getting a compliment out of Thomas seems to be harder than finding the bung in an algae-filled trough. - Nothing says romance like tartan and Primo Twiggy Sticks, and Rachel can't help but succumb to Thomas' charms. - Thomas lines the women up and lets them know that he has a 'fun day' planned for them. Which is what my dad used to say to me before he'd leave me down the back paddock to rip out old fence posts. Apparently, his heart needs to know who can change a tractor tyre. - Clarette is sneaking around the side verandah to get Farmer T's attention. The camera does a quick pan to his hand rubbing the bit between her lower back and upper bum before they have a big old smooch. Farmer Jack - Who the hell is this guy? - He's nervous, excited and optimistic: sounds like every farmer who's just seen rain on the BoM radar. - He's looking for a woman who is 'down to earth, has a good sense of humour and someone who loves the outdoors'. I feel like he just described the majority of the alas, let the speed-dating begin! - Gold Coast-based Hayley is ready to play out the 'popular girl falls for the outcast' trope in some sort of Superbad meets Sweet Home Alabama mashup. They admit to ignoring each other in high school, but the uplifting music is making me think she's already won. Only time will tell. - Jack is happy to hear that Monique, the brickie, is no stranger to hard work, and it's starting to feel like these farmers are all just looking for a lackey. - After some consultation with the producer, he chose Sarah, Hayley, Olivia, and Monique. - Sarah gets to go back to the farm before the other women arrive, giving her a 24-hour advantage. - Jack takes Sarah out the back door to let her know that everything the light touches could be hers one day, and generously lets her name a few cows to show how serious he is.
