Spoiler: As previously noted, Nine launches Season 7 of The Farmer Wants a Wife next Monday night in a 90 minute episode at 7pm -a chance to re-capture The Block audience perhaps.
From there the show will continue on Wednesday night (timeslot is TBA).
Curiously, Nine’s Press Release has also detailed its series twist described as “a seventh speed date with a potential wife selected by the farmer’s nearest and dearest.”
Six handsome new bush bachelors join Australia’s greatest search for love as The Farmer Wants a Wife returns for its seventh series with a 90-minute premiere on Monday, August 22, at 7.00pm on Channel Nine – and this year there is a big twist.
In true farmer tradition our lovelorn boys first come face-to-face with 36 eager, potential wives. They are each given five minutes to get to know their six chosen girls and make the decision that will bring them one step closer to finding true love: selecting the three who will join them on the farm for a 10-day stay and sorting out who is indeed cracked up for life as a farmer’s wife.
In this series, the farmers’ Cupid and host Natalie Gruzlewski will send the boys into a spin with the biggest twist yet: a SEVENTH speed date with a potential wife selected by the farmer’s nearest and dearest.
The Farmer Wants a Wife is all about second chances – our farmers have loved and lost before and now they are turning to Natalie in an attempt to find the one for them to settle down with.
Farmer John from Merriwa, NSW, is the oldest farmer-bachelor, a father of two who’s been a widower for 14 years. He is on the search for love once more to fulfil his wife’s dying wish to find happiness for the rest of his life.
Joining John is gentle giant Will, a former Queensland Reds player who retired from the game two years ago after injury. He returned to the farm, which meant letting the love in his life go as she was not cut out for life on the farm.
And if one night of love is not enough, in our premiere week we see double the dose of Farmer continuing Wednesday, August 24, as our farmers open their homes and hearts to their three favourites. These potential wives are thrown headfirst into the reality of country life. Are they ready for life on the land? And by the end of the first night will we start to see the first signs of love down on the farm?
Meet the Farmers:
Farmer Kev, VIC, 33: Sheep, Cattle and Cropping
Farmer Will, NSW, 25: Cattle and Crops
Farmer John, NSW, 58: Horses and Cattle
Farmer Frank, QLD, 30: Cattle
Farmer Tim, VIC, 29: Wheat and Barley Crop, Sheep and Cattle
Farmer Trent, SA, 24: Crops, Cattle and Sheep
With five marriages, three babies and one on the way from the first six series, will the next batch of eligible bachelors continue the success of Australia’s most successful search for love?
7pm Monday August 22nd on Nine.

I wish they would introduce a gay/lesbian farmer wants a wife because it would show there is a lot of gay and lesbian farmers who would like to meet their special one just like everyone else. What do other people think? Should they do a survey to find out who would be interested in haveing ” a farmer wants a wife gay/lesbian show?????
Eh. You know what would be fun? A gay farmer one season.
Is It Me or has Nine’s 7pm line up got with the exception of the Block Increasingly Bogan since Temptation got the axe in 2009?2.5 men,Big Bang Theory and Now This.
A Karl and Leila News/Chat Show or another Non Eddie Hosted Game Show would be a better choice at that hour nine.
Not many farmers are making a profit at the moment.
Good luck to anyone who wants to marry into financial stress…..
Hands down the most boring and uninspired plot “twist” ever.
Kev, the farmers may all be white but that doesn’t explain why all the women have to be
@Chris a gay/lesbian farmer and contestants would be awesome!! I just tried applying for Dinner Date series two… I’m gay and clicking the “male” option is the only thing to do… I guess they’re just assuming all applicants are straight males and straight females…
Kev, they could go to Griffith…
Farmer Mario, NSW, 34: Hemp, extortion, money laundering
Alf, you don’t get out to rural Australia much, do you?
I thought the twist was going to be gay/lesbian farmers. The actual twist is sooo lame.
This crap should be called ‘Whitey wants a wife’ or something similar, given that almost all contestants on Channel 9 shows of this type are caucasian.
Oh i thought the twist was going to be female farmers want a hubby.
ohyeah will love this. Many shirtless farming men. Absolutely fantastic
the farmer in the pic is really hot! what’s his name??
Farmer Trent.
“a Seventh speed date with a potential wife selected by the farmer’s nearest and dearest” – I don’t quite understand what that means!! So a friend or family member of each farmer will choose them a potential wife?!
The farmers have a speed date with six singles each with a plan to invite three of them to their farms to get to know them more. This year their families choose a seventh single into the speed dating. Not sure it’s quite worthy of what we usually expect from a twist, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
