Farmer Wants A Wife fans all have the same issue with this season: 'Disappointed'
We're only two weeks into this year's season of Farmer Wants A Wife, and longtime viewers have already admitted to turning off the reality show. While the first few episodes have featured shock walkouts, emotional breakdowns and plenty of steamy moments, fans are all saying the same thing about the Channel 7 series.
Not only are people complaining that the season is 'boring' and 'rushed', but they've also said they dislike how few episodes there are each week. The show previously aired three episodes a week, but has dropped down this year to only air on Mondays and Tuesdays.

One fan recently took to social media to complain about the new schedule, admitting they were 'very disappointed with Channel 7'.
'You can't get into it when it's only on two nights a week,' another agreed, while a third said, 'By the beginning of the next episode on Monday, I have lost interest'.
'Will be over in two weeks or so what a joke,' someone else replied, followed by a different user who said, 'Yes so disappointing this year not enough farmers and two days a week is not enough. Not good'.
'Not enough farmers, not enough variety in age, not enough nights per week,' one viewer argued. 'MAFS was four and kept you engaged. You can't remember what's happened when you have a five-day gap, and there hasn't been anything interesting enough to remember anyway!'
Many people have speculated that the show no longer airs three nights a week because one of the farmers has been completely edited out, leaving them with footage of only four farmers to work with.
Channel 7 confirmed in a statement to Yahoo Lifestyle last month that there were originally five farmers cast this season, but 26-year-old cattle farmer and professional bull rider Jack Rowlandson's scenes won't be shown on TV.
'Eureka and Seven have decided not to include Jack Rowlandson's storyline in the new season of Farmer Wants A Wife. We will not be providing any further comment,' they said.
Little is known about why Jack was removed from the show, however, there is speculation that it's because he wasn't ready to settle down.

Meanwhile, it's been teased that one of the farmers will leave the show next week after finding love, and an additional farmer will join the show halfway through.
This is similar to last year's season when Farmer Dean Blanckensee left the show early with his chosen lady, Teegan, and Farmer Todd Melbourne was brought in as his replacement.'

Cricket world saddened as rival joins Glenn Maxwell in immediate move for family
Cricket fans have been rocked by the double retirement of Glenn Maxwell and South African rival Heinrich Klaasen within hours of each other. Maxwell announced on Monday afternoon that he was retiring from ODI cricket with immediate effect, but will still continue in the T20 format. Klaasen then dropped a bombshell of his own just a few hours later when the South Africa wicket-keeper announced his retirement from all international cricket to spend more time with his family. The retirement of the 36-year-old Maxwell wasn't a complete surprise, but Klaasen's was. The 33-year-old wrote on social media: "It is a sad day for me as I announce that I have decided to step away from international cricket. It took me a long time to decide what's best for me and my family for the future. It was truly a very difficult decision but also one that I have absolute peace with. "From the first day, it was the biggest privilege representing my country and it was everything that I have worked for and dreamed about as a young boy. I have made great friendships and relationships that I will treasure for life. Playing for the Proteas gave me the opportunity to meet great people that changed my life, and to those people I can't say thank you enough. My road to wearing the Proteas shirt was different than most and there were certain coaches in my career that kept believing in me - to them I will always be grateful. "To have played with the Proteas badge on my chest was and will always be the biggest honour in my career. I look forward to spending more time with my family as this decision will allow me to do so. I will always be a big Proteas supporter and would like to thank everyone that supported me and my teammates during my career." It comes less than a year after he was South Africa's top scorer in their loss to India in the T20 World Cup final. Maxwell (126.70) and Klaasen (117.05) are second and fourth on the all-time list for ODI strike rates, along with Andre Russell (130.22) and Lionel Cann (117.06). View this post on Instagram A post shared by Heinrich Klaasen (@heinie45) As for Maxwell, the Aussie star is being hailed as one of the most influential figures in one-day cricket history. The 36-year-old admitted he realised his body can't hold up to the rigours of the 50-over format anymore, and will instead prioritise T20 cricket. "I started to think if I don't have the perfect conditions in 50-over cricket, my body probably struggles to get through," Maxwell said in an extended interview on the 'Final Word' Podcast. "I realised it was probably a bit far-fetched to to keep I suppose reaching for that next series and try to hold on. "In reality, I think I'd be doing a disservice to the team ... more hoping rather than expecting to get through. I don't think that would be fair to anyone." It comes after Steve Smith also retired from ODI cricket after the Champions Trophy in March. Maxwell holds the records for fastest ODI hundred and only double century by an Australian, after his back-to-back epics against Netherlands and Afghanistan at the World Cup in 2023. Cricket Australia CEO Todd Greenberg said: "Congratulations to Glenn on what has been one of the most exciting and influential one-day international careers in the format's history. Glenn's ballistic batting has lit up the cricket world and been one of the cornerstones of Australia's continued success in the 50 over game, including his heroic role in the 2023 World Cup triumph." Cricket fans flocked to social media to praise Maxwell and Klaasen on their careers. Many were left saddened they'll never see the swashbuckling hitters in the ODI format ever again. What a day. Two explosive stroke makers of our times have called it a day. Klassen had a lot to offer to SA and deserved to win at least one ICC trophy.

The Making of Henry Pollock
By James Toney You'd be forgiven for thinking Henry Pollock was born in Bundaberg rather than Banbury, because in many ways he is a prodigious, swashbuckling talent straight from Aussie central casting. Swaggering confidence and an unstinting self-belief beyond his years combine with a natural flair for getting under the skin of his opponents. Advertisement He even has the makings of a very strong mullet and is every bit the viral baller – the sort you love to play for you but hate to play against. Think David Campese, but with muscles. Pollock's journey from schoolboy rugby to becoming the youngest forward to play for the British & Irish Lions since 1968 may seem meteoric – he's played barely 40 games at senior level – but it comes as no surprise to him or anyone who knows him. 'It's been mad, the last year's just come so fast,' he said. 'It's been crazy and I'm just trying to enjoy every moment of it, take it all in, and just enjoy rugby and enjoy the moment. 'I've got a great family unit around me and I always look to them and friends whenever I'm on my own or in a dark space. Advertisement 'I'm just working hard and giving everything to my rugby now, no distractions. I'm trying to put more muscle on, working on attack and defence, and across my whole game. I'm definitely not the finished article, so there's definitely more to come. 'I'm here to play Test rugby, that's what I'm pushing for, but I'm also trying to enjoy the journey and just take in all the moments that come with being a Lion.' Those who played a part in Pollock's journey universally speak of his single-mindedness to improve, pushing himself in every training session, beyond the limits of most team-mates. Andrew Porter, Pierre Schoeman and Henry Pollock (©INPHO/Ben Brady) His strength and conditioning coach at Northampton, Jason Sivil, has witnessed the 20-year-old's hard work with awe. Advertisement He has bulked up to over 100kg, can squat 230kg for three reps and bench press 140kg. His aerobic capacity means he can cover the lung-burning 'broncho' – a 1200-metre shuttle run dreaded at clubs up and down the country – in just four minutes and 25 seconds. 'He always wants more, always wants another challenge. All Henry wants to do is push himself further and harder,' said Sivil. Pollock's memories of the last Lions tour to Australia in 2013 are sketchy – though in fairness, he'd only just started playing for the minis at Buckingham Swans, where his first coach, Nick Glister, was quick to identify his raw promise. 'I just remember how strong he was, and super-fit too,' he recalls. 'He was confident, a bit cheeky and very local, but a great team-mate. You could see he was a natural leader.' Advertisement Former Northampton player Grant Seely helped take Pollock's game to the next level at rugby institution Stowe School, while he joined the academy at Saints in his early teens, crediting coach Will Parkin as his biggest influence. However, it wasn't until his sixth form that those guiding his career realised his potential to become a generational player for club, country and – though perhaps a little quicker than even they thought – the Lions. Pollock, like the Wallabies' brilliant rugby league convert Joseph Sua'ali'i, will arrive in Australia as one of the most talked-about players in the game, such has been his rapid ascent. Some might label him a 'bolter' – but in truth, when his name was revealed to fans by Andy Farrell at London's O2, there were universal nods of approval and not a single arched eyebrow of surprise. Advertisement His last 12 months have seen him win the Under-20 World Cup and score two tries on his England debut against Wales, quickly glossing over the fact that, with two Scottish parents, he grew up preferring a thistle to a rose. Henry Pollock is the youngeset player in the Lions squad. (©INPHO/Billy Stickland) He has forced his way into Farrell's selection thoughts not just on the strength of his personality, but the power of his play. Players may be tracked to the inch by their GPS data, but Pollock's game is about more than just those cold, hard metrics – which is perhaps why Maro Itoje, when asked to describe him in one word, couldn't decide between 'annoying' and 'pest', while being quick to add it was meant as a compliment. Advertisement 'I'm going to be the nuisance, I'm going to get up in your face because I'm at my best when I'm confrontational, that's just key to my game,' adds Pollock. 'I'm aggressive – it's been that way since my brother and I were in the back garden and we both liked to win. I'm not looking for trouble, but I'm not shying away from it either. I'm still grafting and still really learning my game.' This is more than just fighting talk, as anyone among the 6,000 at the Stoop for his England A debut last November will testify. Towering Aussie flanker Tom Hooper had given the then-teenager a couple of cheeky digs in an attempt to assert some authority, and Pollock wasn't having it. Advertisement Despite the height, weight, age and experience difference, he stood up to the Exeter-bound blindside flanker, hurling his scrum cap across the pitch as a scuffle ensued. Following a stern word from the referee, Pollock jogged back to his team-mates with a broad grin – mission accomplished. And then there are the celebrations: the basketball lob, or now-trademark 'pulse' – two fingers held to the neck as if to check for signs of life. Australian rugby has a proud history of showmen, including current star Nick Frost, arguably the Wallabies' most athletically gifted lock forward since the great John Eales. Pollock might be from half a world away, but he is cut from similar cloth. Advertisement Hard work has got Pollock to this point, but genetics have helped too – he credits his mum, Hester, with instilling his love of sport, with swimming and triathlon taking equal focus alongside rugby in his early teens. 'My brother, sister and I just all lived for sports – there was no pressure on us, we just played without fear or commitment,' he added. Of course, being the youngest tourist brings additional responsibilities. Pollock will have sole guardianship of the stuffed toy Lion, aptly named 'BIL', and there are serious consequences should it go missing – not easy when more experienced hands have been known to steal and hide him at every available opportunity. Pollock will be in charge of mascot BIL. (©INPHO/Billy Stickland) 'I'm thinking of sewing an AirTag in him,' joked Pollock – a very Gen Z solution to a tradition that started in 1950, with now-captain Itoje taking the role eight years ago in New Zealand, a challenge he jokingly described as more stressful than battling the All Blacks. Advertisement Pollock isn't sure he's going to get much support from Northampton team-mates Tommy Freeman, Alex Mitchell and Fin Smith in his quest to keep 'BIL' safe, but there is no doubt about the tight bond between the four Saints. 'It's so nice to have the boys with me – they're some of my best mates,' he added. 'It's so special to do this with them. They're amazing players and they deserve this. I'm just so happy for them and so happy to be there with their journey, and just looking forward to seeing them rip in.' Rip in? He just might be an Aussie after all.

Thanks, Australia! Dasha's Paris dream dashed in Paris
A proud Daria Kasatkina has declared the embrace she's felt from Australia during her first grand slam under its flag at the French Open was like nothing she had ever known before in her tennis career. Kasatkina finally bowed out at Roland Garros on Monday, beaten by the 18-year-old phenom and her fellow Russian-born friend Mirra Andreeva 6-3 7-5 after what the victorious teenager rightly called a "hell of a match" in the fourth round at Roland Garros. Two months since being granted permanent residency, Kasatkina's hopes of becoming the first Australian woman to reach the quarter-finals since Ash Barty's triumphant year of 2019 may have fallen short, but the 28-year-old, who enjoyed being the 'last Aussie standing', smiled: "It's been a good start. "First of all it's been a good result but also, I felt super good to step on the court as an Australian player," said the 17th seed. "To feel the support from the stands so many times. I don't know if everyone who was screaming, 'Aussie', were from Australia, but I felt this support. Also, on social media I'm getting a lot of support from the Australians that they are so happy to welcome me, and they're happy for me. "So this is the kind of support which I honestly didn't have before, it feels like it's something new to me -- but it feels so nice." When asked if everyone was now allowed to call her "an Aussie battler" after she had given the sixth seed a real scare with her second-set counter-attack when she even earned a set point, Kasatkina offered a wry smile and replied: "If you want to..." It was a tremendous match full of variety, like blitz chess between two all-court grandmasters, played in a fabulous spirit by two training partners. Their 94-minute duel on Court Suzanne Lenglen ended with Kasatkina chucking her wristband jokingly at her conqueror at the net, while Andreeva informed the crowd tongue-in-cheek that she only practised with the Aussie because she hated her. Mirra magic ✨#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 2, 2025 All good knockabout stuff, though Kasatkina noted wryly: "Maybe we know each other too good, maybe we have to take a break in practising ... no, I'm kidding." The only other time they'd played a match was in the final of last October's Ningbo Open in China, with Andreeva ending in tears and needing to be comforted by the player 10 years her senior after blowing a 3-0 lead in the final set. Things have clearly changed. Andreeva has grown up. This time, she said it was easy to put friendship aside as she repelled Kasatkina's second-set surge when the world No.17 went from 3-1 down to 5-3 up, with a combination of the most extraordinary defensive resolve and some ferocious attacking shots. All looked lost for Kasatkina at the start of the second, but she lived up to her promise that she was ready to "die on court" as she chased down seemingly impossible causes and even outlasted the youngster to win one remarkable 26-shot rally. And that utter determination did give Andreeva problems as Kasatkina earned a set point on the youngster's delivery at 5-4, only to be deprived by a powerful forehand. Once back level, Andreeva began to dictate. One piece of amazing retrieving also induced a dismal Kasatkina smash into the net, and enabled her to break to love, before she sealed the deal on her second match point when the Aussie hit a forehand long. Andreeva has reached the quarters without dropping a set and is the youngest woman this century to achieve back-to-back last-eight appearances. Martina Hingis last did it in 1998. Asked if her input in practice might have helped Andreeva mature, Kasatkina smiled: "I hope not!" But she did recognise a completely different force to the Ningbo victim. "Well, she grew so much. I feel like she's taller and taller every single week, her serve's improving all the time and her movement is very good."
