This Show Is The Bachelor But With 4 Farmers & It’s ACTUALLY Successful - Farmer Wants A Wife US 

Looking forward to spinoffs like Plumber Wants A Wife, Accountant Wants A Wife and Underwater Welder Wants A Wife.

The Norwegian version of this has been going for 15 + years, in it they show us who the farmers are on tv like six months before and then people can send letters to the ones they like and then the farmers choose based on the letters. It has a wild success rate compared to the bachelor

I had no idea this show was so popular in other countries. Reading the comments has been fascinating.

The French version of this show has had 19 season since 2005.

Fun fact. The Swedish version of Farmer wants a wife is huge in Sweden. And has been for years. (Number 1 show in Sweden is a quiz about geography and culture btw) In Sweden they show short clips about each farmer on TV in mars and then people sent letters to the farmer they like. Yes, email works to but the producers print them. Then we get to see the farmers reading the letters and choose 10 for speed dating. 6 go on a group date and four of them travel to the farms. After the final pic (I think this is in july, but shown in october) the couple travel together and just before christmas we find out what couples are still togehter.

I SCREAMED “ITS THE BARBIE MOVIE” when Mitchell started singing. Thank you for making that reference 😂

Its missing the appeal of german farmer wants a wife Imagine you just want to bake something and his grandma comes in utters something completly inaudible and than corrects you to use more flour

how loud I screamed yes when I saw you found this show...amazing

You should watch season 12 of Farmer Wants A Wife Australia - a lot of drama comparatively but some good matches and one of the farmers is a woman.

The Quebec version, L'amour est dans le pré, has done 12 seasons so far and I see that they've had 16 successful couples with 34 babies. Definitely better stats than Bachelor. I've never watched it, but my sister and brother-in-law, who are usually not big into reality TV, have loved watching this show.

The Canadian version of this is “Farming for Love” available on CBC and Crave 🐄

nathan was such a sweet dude the whole show, I hope he finds happiness

The 42 year old farmer needs to look for women his own age, not wanting children is high on a list of what someone is looking for 🙄 Also a lot of these women (eg. JOY) looked fake & looking for celebrity status, fake hair, nails etc as if they are looking to work on a farm

The South African version has been running since 2005 and is huge amongst the Afrikaans south African community.

The clip of Bilbo and the ring took me OUT 😂😂

SOOOO STINKIN HAPPY you covered this show -- it's so much more authentic than the Bachelor!! 💗💗 although I do think they did Farmer Ty a disservice not giving him women that fit his lifestyles and preferences he said he was very vocal about during the interview process.

I’ve been watching the Australian version of this show and was super excited when they started a US one! I love that they don’t go for engagements at the end like the Bachelor. But I knew from the beginning that Ty would leave alone. He was never super into any of them and had so many doubts. I agree that they should have picked women who also didn’t want kids so that maybe he could have been successful.

Love it! So happy you’re covering it Fantake! Ye Haw!

There is a Canadian version called Farming for love! The second season is releasing this month.

Can‘t believe it‘s taken this long for the US to get their own version of this 😂 The German one is heavy on alliterations (hardworking homebody Harold, whimsical William etc., just Imagine way meaner). Once a literal Neo-N*zi participated, and once a chicken was uhmmm molested on camera. We‘re doing great, thanks for asking!

I don’t think anyone whose frontal lobe isn’t fully formed should be allowed on these shows…

Omgggg I know I was one of the people who asked for this so THANK YOU for covering it!! This show is so juicy I hope they do another season

I’ve been watching this with Whitney Port and her husband Tim! I really like it. I like how they have a more real life exposure (like visiting home towns and staying locally). I also like how they acknowledge the ladies should have a choice too in staying or going. They’ve done a good job!

Seriously, not even this show can escape wannabe influencers. Why the hell city girls and models would go on knowing they do not want to live on a farm. And why dudes are dumb enough to drag them along knowing it won't work. And also oldest one is the most immature. You know you don't want kids say it bluntly right away, what a waste of time his entire storyline was.

I really like this show. Glad to see you cover it.

Too bad former Bachelor from Iowa, Chris, isn't on the show. Maybe next season.

Man, so glad you did this I have been wanting you to even last season

Joy was like the wicked witch on wizard of oz and Ty was suspiciously looking like a verbal abuser so Megan likely dodged a bullet.

I'm really happy to have you cover this season! I actually thought Mitchell and Sydney had the strongest connection of all the couples so it was interesting hearing your take. Can't wait for the reunion episode!

Will you do a follow-up next week when we find out if the couples are still together?

I started watching the Australian episodes streaming last year and was excited for a US run but then season 1 pretty much stunk. But this season 2 has been great! I just finished the most recent episode and I’m glad with all their choices (even Ty not picking either). I suspect what makes this a more successful model is that there are less women and more opportunities for everyone to get to really know each other since they’re all living on the farm together and also doing some of the actual things that life would entail. On the bach/bachelorette, they don’t even see where the lead lives for real and their times together are mostly limited. There is something more wholesome about the way things move so slowly on Farmer Wants a Wife and the pressure of only needing to pick a person at the end to date vs get engaged to right away is better too. The group socials they have with everyone must be fun and I always like the friendships between the guys and the farmers usually seem sweet and upstanding men. I’m interested to see the next episode to find out the updates. I hope no one has broken up because I like all of the final couples. Thanks for doing a recap here. I think a lot of us subscribers are watching this show. 👍

Thanks for covering this! I’ve enjoyed watching it.

you have NO IDEA how ecstatic I was to see you recapped this show🤣 I feel like I've been watching it in a vacuum lmao

Thanks for the recap! I also think Nathan and Taylor might be the one couple who makes it. ❤️🤞

I watch this already!! This season wasn't as fun as last year, but it's so nice to actually be closer to reality than the over the top crazy of most of these dating shows!

As a German I can see no similarities between the german and the american version. And I think differences are so important for the couples success.

Hi! I have watched both seasons within the past few months. I grew up on a dairy farm, so I find this interesting. Though unsure a first season farmer is a farmer? Either way, the show needs to do much better at matching young ladies with farmers. it was not even geographical. Ty should have been presented with women that were similarly aged, or at least not wanting children. That was unfair to all involved. I love to see the farm/agriculture exposure as so many are aware of it, but the show needs to do better. Brandon saying "would not date five women again" - lol. yeah, i can see this.

that was fun... thank you bachelor Fantake :):)

There's an Italian version of the show too, and it's been going for a few seasons. One of the most dramatic moments was when a farmer, during one of the first dinners with all the girls, disappeared with a contestant with the excuse of "picking rosemary for dinner". He came back THE MORNING AFTER saying he was sorry and everything. Of course, the other girls decided to leave and the rest of their screentime was just them going on dates. Just nasty

Thank you so much for doing a video on Farmer Wants A Wife. I hope that you get enough of a response to continue doing more videos on them. I’ve switched from watching the whole season of the Bachelor to Farmer Wants A Wife because of all the drama. However, I love your recaps so much that I still watch them each week. I’d love to be able to see a weekly recap of Farmer Wants A Wife too. Thanks!

idec if i’ve seen the show or not i will always watch every single one of ur videos

Show Me state! There is actually a restaurant near me that the concept is a meat lover and a vegan fell in love and started a restaurant.

I love that you did this! I graduated with Emerson and have been investing in this season because of it! Still happy for Grace, but the tea is I don't think the girls have much of a choice in the farmer they get (at least that's what she said) so I doubt any of Ty's girls had an idea of who or what their farmer was going to want. Appreciate your take, thank you!

I’ve been watching the French Canadian version for a couple of years. Will check out this one

I am glad you are recapping this. I hope it's renewed, and if so, that you will recap it. I love this show. I watched last season too. I wish it was 2 hours.

Ohh I see, in Finland we have a version of this as well. it's called "Maajussille morsian" (translation: a bride for the farmer) and according to Wikipedia it's based on the UK version of this show (Farmer Wants a Wife). We're currently on season 17, I believe. The show started running in 2006. And it's still a very popular show to watch (on tv/online) and some of the couples do seem to last. There's also many people who still apply to be in the show, which is quite impressive, when you think of how long that show has been running.

In Quebec, there is a show similar to this called ''L'amour est dans le pré''. It's super popular and has generated numerous long term couples with kids

So the quiverfull movement has another tv show. Great.

Oh this is really popular in my country and had a couple of seasons, and I remember seeing that our neighbouring coutry also has their own series

There is a South African version as well, Boer soek na n vrou, its on 14 seasons.

Tye is the embodiment of Kevin Costners character in Yellowstone....yikes and bluntness included but somewhat endearing groaning

A wife wants a Farmer, the bunkhouse, cows lots of cows 😂❤.. beautiful wood fencing for miles and miles!

For info, this is a spin off of a French TV show called l'amour dans le pré! It's really nice! I love this! I think this would take off better than the Bachelor Franchise

I have been DVRing this season but have not yet watched it. Love your take on this, so now I will!

As someone in a relationship with an actual farmer, this was a fun watch... A few of these guys were clearly picked for their looks 🤣 Ty, I'm looking at you

Wow, low-pressure tv is on it’s way!

You should do recaps on every episode next season!!

“Does he love God and murdering animals?” 😂

"Farmer Wants a Sexy Farmhand" Farmer Wants a Wife was a show in the early 2000's in America, too. They must have rebooted because the other countries were putting up good numbers. This show is literally all the worst parts of The Bachelor.. The group "dates" are all farm tasks and the girls have NO interest in living in the middle of nowhere, they just want to be on tv.

after watching your videos for years I just realized you have a canadian accent. lolol

This is so much better than the bachelor in so many ways! Love it. I even watched the Australian series. Yes, it’s that good!

Whit and Tim did it first but excited to see your take on it!

Thanks for covering this!! I love this show compared to the bachelor. I am not in my 20s anymore and need something more on the chill side.

I watched several seasons of the Australian version during the pandemic. Like all concepts, American producers find a way to mess it up. They're on a farm - those girls don't need full hair and makeup every day. Also, they're on a farm - their club clothes, fancy manicures, and hair extensions are useless there. It's still better than what the Bachelor franchise has been doing for forever. I like that there are multiple leads and that they're not giving them 20 people to date at once. The ladies get to choose which farmer they want to meet and then the farmer narrows it to who they want to get to know. Five is more manageable than up to 2 dozen and I do like the fact that they're not into forced eliminations and that the ladies can also leave at any point if they realize that the farmer or farm life actually isn't for them. Ty should have 100% stated up front that he didn't want more kids - different people would have applied to meet him such as a widow with kids or a divorced mom. I would like to see roles reversed and have a couple of lady farmers/ranchers looking for a spouse but the show seems to be very traditional/religiously slanted so we may never get that.

I’m sorry, that dude is 23?? Rough

I'm guessing there's no two fantasy suites at the end

There's no way that guy is 42... My husband and I are 41 - that guy looks like he's in his 50's.

Yes yes yes!! I actually love this show. It’s so good.

Love it! The Australian Farmer Wants a Wife has been running since 2007. It was good for a few years then went to shite as they changed the formula. But way more genuine than the Bachelor. Also there is an Australian Bachelor and Bachelorette if you ever get bored!! 😆😆

Thank you for following this show

I’ve been waiting for you to post about this HAHA

Idk if you read comment suggestions but I’d love to see your take on the Japanese dating show Ainori. It’s about 3 Japanese women and 3 Japanese men on a bus together, traveling through different countries hoping to fall in love. There’s two series available on Netflix, one in Asia and one in Africa. I didn’t think I would like it that much but I became very hooked very fast once I watched the first 2 episodes

So early omg hi I love u so excited to watch

In Germany we have 'Bauer sucht Frau' which is pretty trashy, low budget version with less cowboy hats and even MORE work.

Please cover Outback Jack. So hilarious where American women compete for a guy from the Australian Outback. 😂

The Australian version has been on for years now

In the Aussie version, there is a lot less praying and and lot more tea drinking.

Joy's big fancy hat 😭

The Barbie clip 😂

It is WILD watching this US version when you're used to the Dutch version 😳

Oh you gotta do a video on The Ultimatum South Africa

oh my god my mom loves this show 😭😭

Love this show , unfortunately there are very few recaps of it .

Never clicked on anything so fast!

The issue is simple bachelor contestant dont want love they want fame. These shows work when the contestant last home feels like a reality show

Just to fix you, this show is also in Sweden so...many seasons. Makes sense mathematically, more men and women to match in a better setup

Please do some other of the farmer wants a wife seasons!

Mmmmm BFT does Farmer Takes a Wife video and I see Canada's version of it with..Farming for Love..coincidence? I think not...

Will you be covering The GOAT? 🐐 The first episode is free on youtube and there are bachelor people and other top reality tv personalities on it. I liked it

Please review The Ultimatum: South Africa!!

Please do more when new seasons come out please

South Africa has an Afrikaans version of this for years now ! there 16 seasons already

Love this show!

I watched and loved it. 😊❤

Once you've had time to watch, react and recover. Please consider covering The Ultimatum South Africa

try the canadian version farm8ng for love!!

Are you going to recap the reunion?

I'm so glad these cringey people all found each other (and BF watched it instead of me 😂)

I like this show a lot

But if they are going away from the farm, who is farming? The side chick?
