Farmer Wants A Wife fans slam glaring detail following Thomas' heartfelt apology to Clarette: 'They are just playing the game'
Farmer Wants A Wife fans are up in arms following Monday night's bombshell episode, pointing out a baffling detail in the latest season. The 13th episode saw Thomas, 35, make a dramatic comeback to the show just 24 hours after blindsiding his ladies by abruptly storming off the farm. Clarette, Rachael, Jess and Laura were left visibly stunned when the farmer made a late entrance at the glitzy Country Ball, having had zero contact with them since vanishing in the heat of the moment. 'I'm really sorry about how it all ended,' Thomas said, pulling Clarette aside the moment he arrived. 'I shouldn't be storming out.' 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. Still reeling from their argument, Clarette told Thomas she felt betrayed after discovering he'd been messaging his ex, Claire, despite insisting their connection was over. 'I was so upset because I thought Claire was no longer an issue for us,' she said. But Thomas was quick to shut down any lingering doubts. 'I mean it, I swear. The contact's deleted. No contact at all,' he insisted. His emotional plea seemed to work, with Clarette accepting his apology before the pair sealed their reconciliation with a passionate kiss. However, despite Clarette's 'forgive and forget' attitude, fans aren't so quick to breeze passed a glaring detail. Despite Farmer Thomas' obvious preference towards frontrunner Clarette and the on-and-off screen connection they share, the other three women continue to stick around. Fans flooded social media questioning why the other ladies even bother staying on the show - and why Thomas hasn't put his eggs in one basket and called it a day. Fans flooded social media questioning why the other ladies even bother staying on the show - and why Thomas hasn't put his eggs in one basket and called it a day 'Why are Thomas's ladies even there? Clarette is obviously his one. I, for one, would leave,' one person wrote on Facebook. Another chimed in: 'Totally are all giving Clarette grief, but I think they are having a relationship and they are just playing the game for the show.' Other fans poured into the comment section of the show's Instagram page to share their predictions regarding the pairing. 'Thomas picks Charette and I don't know why the other ladies are still there I feel sorry for the other ladies,' one wrote. 'He is incredibly awkward. I can't watch him anymore, let Clarette have him, gets these other deserving girls off the hook,' another said. 'He and Clarette deserve each other, all the other ladies have all been too good for him,' someone else savagely penned. Thomas' shock reunion sent ripples through the group on Monday night, with Jess later pulling the farmer aside for a serious chat. She admitted she felt like she was wasting her time competing for attention and hinted at a possible exit from the show. Despite the drama, Thomas went on to select Clarette for his next one-on-one date, proving he's all in on making their relationship work. His surprise return, heartfelt apology, and bold decision to double down on Clarette has well and truly reignited the race for love - and thrown the farm doors wide open for more drama.

Farmer Wants A Wife shock twist: Thomas returns after storming off farm during explosive fight with Clarette - and makes a bold move to win her back
Farmer Thomas made a dramatic comeback on Farmer Wants A Wife on Monday night - just 24 hours after blindsiding his ladies by abruptly storming off the farm. Clarette, Rachael, Jess and Laura were left visibly stunned when the farmer made a late entrance at the glitzy Country Ball, having had zero contact with them since vanishing in the heat of the moment. 'I'm really sorry about how it all ended,' Thomas said, pulling Clarette aside the moment he arrived. 'I shouldn't be storming out.'

His surprise return, heartfelt apology, and bold decision to double down on Clarette has well and truly reignited the race for love - and thrown the farm doors wide open for more drama. Thomas was previously caught out in a lie after it came to light that he was still in contact with old flame Claire, who left the show a few weeks ago on account of feeling self-conscious and overwhelmed. When a message popped up on the farmer's phone from Claire, who was dubbed one of Thomas' front-runners after securing the 24-hour date in week one, he decided to be upfront with Clarette and Rachael. However, despite his honesty, all hell broke loose on the farm, with Clarette descending into a jealous rage. 'I believed that a line had been drawn on everything, and there was no contact,' she said. 'Then I find out tonight that there has been contact since that, so I'm really upset.' When Clarette questioned Thomas over whether he wanted to pursue things with Claire, he replied: 'No, she's dead to me.' She then challenged the farmer, who was seemingly backed into a corner, asking why he was still messaging her if that was the case. Thomas stood his ground, assuring her that he didn't want anything to do with her, but Clarette was having none of it. 'You keep doing things all the time and then asking for forgiveness constantly. I'm over it!' she told the farmer. The blow up saw Clarette storm off, slam the door and close the shutters - and Thomas drove away from the farm in a frenzy - as the episode ended in a nail-biting cliffhanger 'I wouldn't put up with this outside of this experience and I'm definitely not going to lower my standards.' Things only escalated from there, when the pair went off camera to discuss the drama and Clarette asked to see Thomas' phone. What she discovered was a slew of messages between him and his former love interest in the weeks since she had left the show. 'So, when you were trying to get with me, you were still flirting with her? 'Everything has been a lie. Everything! Look how many messages there are, you f***ing prick!" she screamed.

Foreman Dan Reilly shares a sneak peak at the set of The Block 2025 and hints new season is coming VERY soon as filming wraps after 'delays'
The Block star Dan Reilly teased that the new season of the blockbuster renovation show will soon be heading to Channel Nine. Dan took to his social media on Sunday to share a gallery of snaps featuring cast and crew from the Daylesford construction site in rural Victoria. In one photo, Dan, who works as a foreman on the ratings winner, can be seen taking a celebratory drink with his partner Dani Wales. Other photos show the happy couple grinning and posing with judges Shaynna Blaze and Marty Fox. While Dan was careful not to show off any of the homes featured in the upcoming season, a glimpse of what appears to be completed structures can be glimpsed in the background of one photo. 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. Aerial photos released in April revealed that the 2025 season will feature some massive homes. The sprawling construction site located in the tiny rural getaway, 112km from Melbourne, features five blocks. All of the two-storey dwellings are built as a 'H' design layout with courtyard spaces in front and back of the home. It comes after claims that the upcoming season allegedly hit a serious snag which has caused production to be delayed. An industry insider exclusively told Daily Mail Australia in January that filming was set to commence in Daylesford that month but was pushed back. Production on the popular Channel Nine reality renovation series was slated to begin in February after being delayed for a month. And the reason for the hold up? Our source revealed that producers are less-than-enamoured with the crop of contestants who applied for the show's 21st season. They claimed casting producers have been in crisis meetings with Nine executives this week because they are so far unhappy with the presented line-up for 2025. 'There are desperate measures being made to get the show right for the next series,' the source said. 'There has been a noticeable absence of what Channel Nine were interested in showcasing later this year.' The source said Nine was interested in attracting 'older and wiser' contestants for 2025, in a bid to move away from on screen drama that has become a fixture on the show in recent seasons. Much of the 2024 season was dominated by the controversial 'flirtgate scandal' involving married couple Brad and Kylie Baker, and their co-star Mimi Belperio. 'The Nine network wants to shift gears from what we have seen in the last few years but the problem has been the 2025 series hasn't attracted the right kind of applicants,' the source said. 'The show has had a toxic culture and what happens when a trend like that forms is that similar people apply. 'There are people wanting to be the next Kylie and Brad and there are people wanting to be the next Kristy and Brett [the 2023 'villains']. 'That is the nature of these reality shows. The people applying seem to look back at what we have just seen and try to emulate that.' The source claimed that the network is now more interested in attracting contestants who are environmentally minded. The source also took time to praise the network for listening to what Block fans really want after the latest drama-packed season divided fans, with some claiming the show was trying to become like Married At First Sight.
