Sorry…MORE Reality!

Filed under: TV News

farmerwiferesize.jpg

Premiering April 30th on the CW….Farmer Wants a Wife.

NO JOKE.

It's the 19th Century version of The Bachelor!

Ten big city ladies will compete to be a farmer's leading lady.

How will they win him over? By competing in barn-based challenges! Shoveling crap, rounding up animals…seeing city gals get down and dirty is gonna be 'fun'?! But you gotta love how they're going to send the 'loser' home at the end of each episode…the contestant without an egg under her assigned hen is sent packing.

We're another step closer to seeing every variation of anything that has ever been done on TV.

    The original program is from the Netherlands - it has been on for 2 seasons, last season its ratings went through the roof (4.5 million in a country of 16 million people). Not my cup of tea, though.

  17. Jaimmy says – reply to this


    17

    Horrible show. This is a Dutch format and was able to reach a 50% market share, ridiculous!!

  18. joey says – reply to this


    18

    lmao

  19. inge says – reply to this


    19

    this show is probably based on the dutch tv show boer zoekt vrouw..

    Its been on for about 3 seasons i think and the most popular show in holland.

  20. samantha says – reply to this


    20

    this was also done in England, by the name of Dirty Cows I think

  21. Julie says – reply to this


    21

    omg this is a classic dutch show ("boer zoekt vrouw"), i can't believe it's made it to the states! its a crazy world out there, with some pretty desperate farmers ;)

  22. louis says – reply to this


    22

    so I worked on this show and its interesting because of one of the contestants Josie. She is nuts

  23. Samanth says – reply to this


    23

    One season of this show has been done on Australian TV already, with 1 couple (farmer and city gal) engaged.

    Other than that, I dont think its a very exciting reality show.

  24. Stiefepief says – reply to this


    24

    It originated in the Netherlands. Boer zoekt vrouw! Very succesfull show over here. But i think the 'American version' will be somewhat more glamorous.

  25. paige says – reply to this


    25

    How will they win him over? I think a better question is, why would anyone WANT to win him over?

  26. Bree says – reply to this


    26

    this show is in it's second season in Australia by the way. There was another variety of it - though the farmer picked one of the girls they met in the city and took them out to the farm. Usually the drama is that the personalities clash, just because they are isolated and the change in environment makes it entertaining viewing

  27. pernilla says – reply to this


    27

    In sweden every old bitch watches it, kinda sucks!

  28. . says – reply to this

    this show first started in The Netherlands, it was a huge hit there. dont think a reproduction could be as good as the real thing

    Should be called and the Farmer takes a wife…

  31. Hyde says – reply to this


    31

    Who in the HELL would want to be a farmer's wife? That's fucking hard work. Whoever wins it will have done it to be on TV and will go home the second the TV cameras are gone.

  32. yvi says – reply to this


    32

    first

  33. AJSUCKS says – reply to this


    33

    I'd do that

  34. Angelique says – reply to this


    34

    I agree with a previous comment; Dutch idea!

    Over 4 million viewers in a country of 16 million people is a lot.

  35. Tanja says – reply to this


    35

    Thats nothing new. In germany there is already the 3rd season of it. Its calles "bauer sucht frau" means "farmer serches wife".
    I can tell you thats real bullshit. It is just boring and all the farmer i think look terrible :D .

  36. Candy says – reply to this


    36

    They should have one where hot city girls fight over a nerdy amish boy. haha

  37. Zizo says – reply to this


    37

    Is nowt new……done in the UK a couple of years ago

  38. Lola says – reply to this


    38

    Hi, am from Holland. This is indeed a show from here. The thing is, in Holland it was very tastefully done, not with the object of creating drama, but with the object of letting farmers (in last season also 1 female farmer) find a partner. It was on public tv, not on commercial, and a real honest cute show.
    But I bet it can be made into one ugly commercial show if in the wrong hands….

  39. Sem says – reply to this

    In the Netherlands it's a HUGE hit! I likes it

    They did this in the UK a while back. Not sure how successful it was.

  43. josie says – reply to this


    43

    haha.. that has been going on in Sweden for years.. RIP OFF

  44. Tinneke says – reply to this


    44

    No offence, but I think this show was first broadcasted in Belgium. Three seasons are already over (and were a huge success) and there might be a new one this year.

  45. bella says – reply to this


    45

    why on earth would anyone want to compete to be a FARMER'S wife??????

  46. Mr. Jangles says – reply to this


    46

    Can't wait to see the homely, farmly girls that show up for this cattle call. (Sorry, I just couldn't resist.)

  47. Lela says – reply to this


    47

    Again, they've stolen a program from The Netherlands, C'mon, get some of your own shows- and is it even relevant in The States. The farmers are a dying breed- Europe it's a different story we have farms all over.. This is just sooo sad.

  48. Aileen says – reply to this

  56. Aline says – reply to this

    Um creative huh?
    I would've put the loser to sit on bull shit, then you know it's time for packing.

  61. Shilton says – reply to this


    61

    I worked at the front desk of a hotel this summer which was where all the girls were staying when filming this series. First of all, they were filming a "farmer" from Chesterfield, MO. While Chesterfield may not be a booming metropolitan city, it is far from a bumblefuck hillbilly town, overflowing with farmland, which is what one might expect from this show. Secondly, I had the privilege of speaking to many of the contestants and let me just say…TRASH. Trash and CRAZY. Many of these women were psycho and slutty and I can't wait to see the show. We are talking flavor of love quality. It should make smutty stupid television which will likely be every reality tv addicts guilty pleasure this spring!

  64. sisi says – reply to this


    64

    Nice! I can't wait to see some bitch cry over not having an egg.

    "I thought we were getting along so well. I just knew I'd get an egg tonight. But I lifted my hen's butt. . . and my heart broke! I will never be the same again!"

  65. Ecstasy says – reply to this


    65

    I live in England and they did this show last year - at least with a wealthy UK farmer. It was called "Dirty Cows".

  66. LOL says – reply to this


    66

    All these nationalities claiming their country was first:

    It was originally an English TV show, not Dutch. Check Wikipedia. The first series aired in the UK in 2001. The first series in Holland aired in 2004.

    Germany is officially apologizing for bringing you this crap! ;o)

    Hey, in Germany it was amazingly succesfull! AND very funny!! Don´t take it serious.

    luv u

  69. Jen says – reply to this


    69

    Actually this show started in Norway.
    Think they are on the 6th season here.
    There's already been a farmer wants a wife wedding and baby (the farmer in this coupling is a woman).
    Hey what can I say, it's dark cold and miserable most of the year here and we are a very wholesome people who like churning butter on cold winter nights :p
    The fact its probably the most popular show on Norwegian TV shows what a lame bunch of people we are (or perhaps how many farmer enthusiasts there are in Norway).

  70. EU LOVER says – reply to this

    We had this show ALL over Europe all ready! Just Like Big Brother was something from us dutch people…. Haha, Go be creative America!!

  71. Liniadux says – reply to this

    hahhah
    this has been airing in Sweden for the last two years..been a great success at home

    72

    UGH! Are there women out there who want to get married THAT badly?
    These must be the ugly heiffers that couldn't make it on one of the billion bachelor shows.

  73. renee b says – reply to this


    73

    hehehehe it's true. Our little country called The Netherlands does have that show (3 seasons already i think) and it is hugely popular. Have fun watching it in the US!!

  74. k says – reply to this


    74

    WHAT!? thats weird

  75. THIS IS NOT A DUTCH SHOW says – reply to this


    75

    Honestly, those Dutch are so dumb. Just because something is on their TV they think they invented it. Farmer Wants Wife originated in the UK in 2001 already! Belgium, Norway and Holland did it also in 2004 and then the rest of the world pretty much followed suit. But Holland didn't invent this shit! Stop claiming something that isn't yours! Although, I have to say, the show is soo shite it could've well been invented by the Dutch (but it hasn't). A Belgian outsider who saw it on ITV, Ned1 and VTM.

  76. W says – reply to this


    76

    I saw a show like this on a German channel, like, 3 or 4 years ago!

  77. old news says – reply to this


    77

    they so had this forever ago in sweden! they also have it in france… and probably some other european countries. the US is far behind.

  78. imke says – reply to this


    78

    yay- this was such a big thing in germany! some farmers even married the woman they choose!!!

  79. joey says – reply to this


    79

    No, Big Brother was dutch. not this. If you know your classics you now Boer zoekt vrouw is a copy of Farmer wants a Wife.
    DUtch television has lost its creativity since we've got Flikken Maastricht.

    HOPEFULLY THE FARMER IN THE DELL CAN FIND A WIFE/EWE WITH A SEX DRIVE TO MATCH HIS OWN.

  81. flora says – reply to this


    81

    Not sure who had it first (i just read a holland post) but we have it in denmarks too, it's on it's second or third season here.
    Soooo, not only is it a bad idea, it's also unoriginal.

  82. Boohoo says – reply to this


    82

    its nice to see people in the fly-over states getting exposure…

  83. WHO CARES !!!!! says – reply to this

  84. OzzyOzzyOzzy says – reply to this


    84

    It worked in Australia - a couple are actually getting married! haha

  85. dandanlovesperez says – reply to this


    85

    yeahh this show was on in Germany.
    It's nothing new.
    They also have 'wife exchange', 'I tarzan you Jane'(like the American Idol for musicals)
    and a bunch of other ridiculous shows.
    xox

  86. Hannah says – reply to this


    86

    ahh ! that kind of show already is on TV in france for 2 years now.
    when you watch it for the first time ure like 'what the helle is that shitty program ??', but continue watchin it while eating crisps and think 'i dont noe why im watchin it but thats pretty captivating…'

  87. i hate reality tv says – reply to this


    87

    I HATE REALITY TV!!!!!!!! Enough already!!!!!!!!!!! And all of you idiots who agree to appear on these shows seriously need to get lives. You are pathetic and you make the rest of the world think that America is full of low-intellect, lazy, drama queen, losers. Seriously, it's time for reality tv to die.

  88. sk says – reply to this


    88

    This show was done in Australia last year…. boring concept!!

  89. siobhann says – reply to this


    89

    1st the guy is NOT from Chesterfield MO, he's from a tiny farm community of Portage De Souix near the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. Second, he already has a girlfriend of many years. He's only okay looking and the farm isn't really his. There was a write up in the local free paper last summer. It's been almost a year since the end of taping. I guess the network is getting tres desperate!

  90. We should all be reading Russian novels instead. Tolstoi anyone? says – reply to this


    90

    Re: i hate reality tv – Don't be so hard on yourself. Reality TV was 'officially' invented in Holland who started off with Big Brother (although MTV's The Real Life REALLY came first). But anyhow, you can blame the Dutch for bringing losers, braindeads, prozzies and whatnot to the little screen. You can punch them if you like too. With my blessings.

  91. Sydney says – reply to this

    Hey! They definetly made a show just like that in the UK. I forget what the name was…But England deff played it first!
