Previously... You happy I got the date?

I'm real happy you got the date.

..on Farmer Wants A Wife...

Yes!

..thrilling solo dates.

There is a fun side.

You've just gotta get me out of my little shell.

..lead to romance and uncertainty.

Is there any way of you giving me

some sort of reassurance about the end game?

Um...

Farmer Tom found his forever after...

Sarah, I am falling in love with you.

Oh, are you falling in love with me?

Mm.

There you go. I think I'm already there.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Tonight... Oh, look who's here! Oh!

..as we head towards the end of this love adventure,

pressure builds.

I wouldn't be with anyone

that doesn't get along with my family.

Just full stop.

..as the ladies aim to impress our farmers' closest relatives.

It's just nice to have a second or tenth opinion.

Some tough critics there as well.

Because it's the families who must decide

which lady will go on the critical last solo date.

Well, it is important that they do see you

as someone that could just slot right in.

Do you think they're going to grill us?

I hope they do. (LAUGHTER)

What are your intentions with my son?

Yeah, I think I love him already.

She's definitely jumped in boots and all.

I definitely would like a bit of help

of which way to go next.

Hard to tell who's here for the right reasons.

But before the final decision...

I need to tell them some information

that they should know.

..Caitlin drops a bombshell.

I'm not someone that likes drama, but...

# When I was a boy

# I had a dream I saw your face #

For our farmers, family means everything.

And with limited time

until they make their final decisions,

our farmers will need to lean on their nearest and dearest

to help guide them through.

# Let me drown in the river

# Let your love wash over me #

But before the farmers

surprise the ladies with their families,

there is work to be done on the farms.

My relationship with the farm, it does bring me a lot of joy.

It's quite a busy time for me at the moment,

and trying to juggle the farm

and all the ladies is a lot more

than I probably thought it was going to be.

So, it's, yeah, very stressful

and it would have been nice if there was a couple of fairies

that done all the work on the farm.

That would make my life a bit easier.

With Farmer Bert working around the clock lately,

the ladies look forward to any time they can spend with him...

Come on, Brooke, get excited!

(LAUGHS)

..even if it's cleaning heavy machinery.

You guys ready to get dirty? Absolutely.

Yeah? Yeah.

Good, well, one of you on each gurney

and then there's the brush with some soapy water over there.

Perfect. Get it all sparkling.

I feel quietly confident about my connection with Bert.

(LAUGHS)

We're getting closer towards the end,

but I've definitely manifested being in the final two.

(LAUGHTER)

That was a proper mouthful.

That was personal.

Karli's just very confident that she's the one for Bert.

But we're here for the same reason.

We've got to fight for what we want.

But yeah, like, Karli just plays down and dirty, I guess.

(SNIGGERS)

The glamorous jobs don't end there.

Farmer Joe's chickens have flown the coop.

We'll, ah, see you wrangle a few chickens.

And they can sometimes go flying at you.

(LAUGHS) Stop walking so fast!

We're certainly coming down to the pointy end here,

and I don't want any what if's.

I want to be 100% certain.

I've got a great connection with Keely.

She, you know, loves to travel and loves an adventure.

But could she live down here on the farm with me?

Would she get bored and want to leave?

You're alright, you're alright. You're OK.

You've got to hold...

Yeah, hold it. ..the wings down.

With Sarah, I feel like I've had a bit of a connection,

we have a spark right from the start.

Yeah, there's no denying it, she's a fantastic woman.

Yeah, we're very much alike.

Being a farm girl, she'd be quite happy to make changes

and that to move to the farm and be with me.

Good? Yeah.

I'm here looking for a wife and someone to start a family with.

(CHICKEN CLUCKING)

I've got the rooster! Got the rooster!

(CHUCKLES)

In the past, with people I've dated,

they didn't work out

and that's why I'm here today,

that is to find something that is exactly right for me.

I'm covered in chicken shit. (LAUGHS)

Farmer Todd and his ladies also have a dirty job to tackle.

When was the last time this was cleaned?

I'm not sure if this one's ever been cleaned.

(LAUGHTER)

So, who wants to pop the bung?

You're there, Ellen.

Alright, you can pop it now.

Watch your boots, though.

I lost it. Oh, there she goes.

Oh, look at the filth coming out now.

Oh, smell it!

Despite a romantic date with Grace yesterday,

Farmer Todd continues to grapple with his feelings for Daisy.

Feeling a bit conflicted from the meet the friends.

We're all a little bit concerned in regards to Daisy.

As in?

We see some similarities there to your previous relationships

and those relationships haven't worked out.

It wouldn't be right if we didn't say something.

I don't feel

that she's the right pick for you as a wife

and as a mother to your children.

Yeah.

I guess it feels like a bit of a kick in the guts.

I definitely do like Daisy. I've liked Daisy from the start.

But our relationship at the moment is a bit up in the air,

just because they did put that doubt in my mind.

She is similar to previous relationships.

Like, is it going down the same path as what I've done before?

Might go for a cruise over here, hey?

Yep.

The other night, when we had a chat,

he sort of revealed that his mates have got the wrong idea

about who I am as a person.

My character being brought into it hit me a little bit hard,

so I just wanted to pull him aside

and explain exactly why I was so upset.

She seems to be pulling him away quite a bit.

Yeah.

Obviously Daisy and Todd have a really good connection.

It is hard to watch.

So, I just wanted to pull you aside, I guess...

'cause last night hit me a bit hard, I guess...

when you told me that,

like, obviously your friends thought I was a bit...

a bit of a hard-arse...

and had seen some character traits

that sort of reflected your ex.

I definitely struggle to open up.

It's been a tumultuous journey of relationships over the years

and unfortunately that just sort of pushes me

to close up a little bit.

But this experience is teaching me to sort of let down my walls

and let down my guard a little bit.

But then there's also the other side of me

as well that unfortunately

your friends didn't really get a glimpse of...

and I guess it just sort of gutted me a little bit

because that's not who I am.

I like that you're...you're confident

and I guess, like, resilient.

You are, I guess, a hard woman.

I do like that.

I have been able to actually see the softer side in you

and I like you just the way you are.

Hopefully Daisy can show the other side

that she's been able to show me to everyone else.

What do you think they're, uh, chatting about?

I don't know.

You know, obviously Daisy has had more time with him,

so she's going to have a deeper connection with him.

You know, that's something I'm learning on this experience,

that you've got to seize the opportunity.

With the harvest over

for the season on Dustin's property...

Tractoring.

Tractoring. Yeah.

..the paddocks need to be cultivated.

The tractor here. This gives it away.

It does give it away a little bit.

Who wants to go first?

Who wants to go first? You go, girl.

OK. You're first in line.

You seem so excited.

Alright, we'll jump up.

Alrighty. Get in.

Show us how it's done, Belle. Yeah.

I'm feeling really good this morning after the date with Belle yesterday.

It was a great day,

and I think me and Belle are definitely

more close than what we were.

Yeah, I kind of haven't been taken seriously

by the other girls.

Well, I think the girls should take you seriously.

(LAUGHTER) OK, that's good.

That's good.

We're going. Oh, my God.

And there's the gears.

Like that? Yep, that's it.

I definitely do have strong relationships

with the other two girls.

Anna and Sophie are probably the front runners

of the other three.

Sophie and Anna are both from farming backgrounds,

but it is a little bit different where I am,

and yeah, a little bit further away

from all the creature comforts of towns.

Yeah, so it all aids in the back of your mind.

Belle's nailing it.

She is.

Although she's just looking at Dustin, is she?

Looking straight?

She's got lust in them brown eyes.

Yeah.

I wouldn't say I'm feeling comfortable in my position, no.

I think, obviously, Belle and Dustin had a great date.

You could tell that they just looked very giddy,

big smiles on their face.

They looked like they'd had a lot of fun

when they got home from their date.

All three of us have a really good connection with Dustin

and I don't really know which way he's leaning more towards,

to be honest.

I think my mind changes here and there.

Like, you think maybe it's stronger with you or stronger with me,

but then you see, you know, how he interacts with Belle,

and he's got a really good connection there too,

and like, it just, fricken, who knows.

I find it really hard

to keep tunnel vision in your own connection.

I'm not good at being oblivious.

I want the next date

and more one on one time with Dustin.

Like it's more time to sort of get a little bit more clarity

or a little bit more of an understanding,

I suppose, where you do sit in the three.

Hi! How'd you go?

Hey, hey. Good.

Yeah? That was fun.

Smashed it. I wanna do more.

Making a fair bit of dust. Yeah.

With the big final decision in sight,

the farmers have invited

some special guests to a meal.

Actually, got some very special people

that you are going to meet.

I said all along that, you know, I've been raised

and around pretty strong independent women my whole life.

And yeah, you'll get to meet four of them, so...

You like to do it in bulk, don't you?

(LAUGHTER)

You'll be meeting my two sisters...

Oh, my God! ..Sarah and Clancy.

And then you'll also be meeting my Grandma Marie and my mum.

It's the families who will decide

which lady will be going on the last date with the farmers,

a full 24 hours alone.

Wouldn't be like me

without dropping the girls into some hot water.

(CHUCKLES)

And they're going to meet not one or two of my closest family members,

but four of probably the most influential women in my whole life.

So...

Yeah. It's a big day! We're outnumbered, girls.

It's going to be a big day. (LAUGHS)

You really like to throw us in the deep end.

Not just one, four, not just one mate, hundreds.

(LAUGHTER)

It's so important to get along with your partner's family.

You know, they're an extension of who they are as a person,

and, I think, you know, you're going to become a part of their family.

I hope to God that they like me.

Do you think they're going to grill us?

I hope they do.

(LAUGHTER) Yeah.

Yeah, that's what they're all about. Bring out the big guns.

More or less nervous than meeting the mates?

More. More. More nervous.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm more excited to meet them

and, you know, obviously they're very important to you.

It'll be interesting. Yeah, I'm excited.

Obviously, Todd's friends

didn't really get the right impression

from me the first time.

It's obviously a big deal, you know.

Like I really care about Todd,

so, you know, making a good impression

on his family is a huge deal.

They will be looking for someone

that's going to suit me at the best and worst of times, I suppose.

They've all witnessed all of it.

It's a little bit daunting, but just be myself

and, oh, yeah, charm their pants off.

Yeah, there is stuff

that Bert's family should know about the other ladies.

Just some comments.

Who made the comments?

Karli made the comments

about what could potentially happen after this experience.

I feel like, you know, people should know stuff,

but at the end of the day,

that's something for Bert to work out,

and I'm sure, you know, he will at some stage,

I guess, so yeah.

Coming up, the ladies turn on the charm.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

If you make a bad impression with the family,

that could be make or break.

Yeah, I think I love him already.

But not everyone's impressed.

I guess I'm a bit, like... uh...

I feel I need to tell them some information.

And Caitlin blows the whistle.

It's probably information that they should know.

My grandparents' relationship

is definitely one that I would aspire to be in.

Married for 60 years.

Raised a beautiful family, they ran the farm together.

That's what it's all supposed to be.

Family is the most important thing in life.

And my future wife is going to be spending

a hell of a lot of time with my family.

The legacy of the land is very important, for generations.

It's very important to me that I find love,

have a family, and then keep it going.

I do want to find my wife and settle down and start a family,

have kids, that's the next part of my life.

Pressure is building for the family meals

because it's the farmers' loved ones

who will be choose a lady

to go on the final, 24-hour date.

What do you reckon?

It's stressful.

This is definitely not my forte.

How are you feeling, Brooke?

Yeah, alright. On your dessert again?

Yeah, it's pretty simple.

I'll swap ya.

It's alright.

We might get food poisoning, but we'll be alright.

Feeling like a little bit nervous, meeting the family.

It's getting to the pointy end of this whole experience.

And it's kind of a big deal today, isn't it?

Such a big deal.

I do feel like that Karli does try and change

to be well suited to Bert.

She did in front of his friends.

I don't want that to happen again.

I'll do whatever it is that I need to do.

I'm going to be outnumbered to the absolute max tonight.

So, I've got my mum coming, Dinah.

I've got my grandma, Marie. Hello.

My sister Sarah and my other sister Clancy.

Hi, I'm Keely, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Sarah.

Lovely to see you.

Good to see you, darling. How are you?

Very good.

Hello, darling, how you going?

I just want my family to really find out

which of these ladies are the ones that could actually commit

to a life on the farm

and, you know, a life with me, full stop.

How do you do? I'm Marie.

Hi, Marie, I'm Keely, nice to meet you.

Very nice to meet you.

In my previous relationship,

she decided that she didn't want to live here on the farm and stuff,

and I ended up very hurt from that.

Very excited to see you. Should we head on in?

Yeah, let's do it.

I want to just make sure it doesn't happen again.

I don't want to put too much pressure on my family,

but I want them to just give me information

and how they're feeling so I can make the best choice.

ALL: Cheers!

Thank you, Grandma.

There's a lot of pressure on today

because family is everything to Joe

and, you know, they're big decision makers in his life

and also potentially in who they might see

as the right partner for him.

So, whatever decision they land on

and whoever they pick is going to mean a lot.

You know, I really appreciate everyone being here

and obviously for you ladies,

you realise that my family is very important to me.

And, uh, yeah, I'm just very grateful

for everyone being here.

Very good speech, Joe.

We've been excited all morning to have you guys here, so...

Hi! Hello!

Hello! How are we?

Good. How are you? Good.

Tonight, some of my family's coming over,

so I've got Henry, my brother and his girlfriend, Bree.

Hi, Bree! Hi!

How are you?

What's happening? Good!

My two cousins, Josh and Chloe.

Nice to meet you. I'm Chloe. Lovely to meet you.

I've got a wonderful family,

and I definitely would like a bit of help

which way to go, I guess.

Yes. I'm Chloe.

I wouldn't say that I'm confident

in making the right decision.

So, if they see something that I potentially don't,

I guess it's a good outside view in.

I'm Brooke. Brooke, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I definitely feel like there's a bit at stake tonight.

How are we guys?

Nervous. Nervous? About the food.

(LAUGHTER)

What's on the menu?

Pork roast and then... Oh, sounds good. Yeah.

Hope there's some good crackling then.

(LAUGHTER) About that.

Should we all head inside and sit down?

This could be my family one day.

I'd love if his family loved me and thought that,

you know, I was best suited to him.

What's going on?

The ladies are meeting Mum and Dad and Anna, my sister.

And then there's Clark, my younger brother.

Good time.

And yeah, I just sort of guess I need a bit of help

working out the final stages of this.

It's not an easy decision.

I really care about Todd,

so, you know, making a good impression on his family is...

it's a huge deal.

I do need to definitely prove myself to Todd after meeting his mates.

Hello, ladies!

Hi! Hi, how are you?

Hello, nice to meet you. You too.

Hi, how are you?

Nice to meet you too.

Hi, Tom, how are you? Good, how are you?

This could be my future in-laws, who knows?

But if they are, I want to make a really good impression,

and I want to show the best version of me to them

and, you know, let them know that I am here for...

for love.

How about you guys?

How are you feeling about Todd having his full...

A harem.

(LAUGHTER)

Mum! What?

We've been calling it that all week.

Yeah, like, what do you call it?

I want Todd to be happy with whomever he chooses.

And I don't want him to be happy just for the next six months.

I want him to be the forever happy.

I know no-one's ever 100% happy every day of their married life,

but I want him to have the partner that,

when it goes pear shaped,

that they can work through it and not just cut and run.

We'll be an influence on his decision,

and I want to get it right.

I think the burning question

that we're all wanting to ask is, Rhonda...

(LAUGHTER)

..you nominated this amazing,

handsome man for Farmer Wants A Wife.

I did. Why?

What was the story there? Mmm.

Well, he had his heart broken and it took a while to get over.

And it was just like,

everyone deserves to have someone to love.

Yeah. To be forever.

Yeah. Yeah.

Beautiful. Agree.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I know, she's going to tear up. ALL: Oh!

You're going to make us all cry now.

Guys.

Sorry, I'm a sook. (LAUGHS)

I think we've all cried. Yeah, we have all cried.

I care deeply for Todd

and hopefully Todd's family can see that I'm here for him

and I'm here to find love

and I'm here for the exact reason that Rhonda put him on the show.

So, yeah, I just hope that that comes across today.

# We're going home

# If we make it or we don't

# We won't be alone #

Meeting the in-laws is a big step in any relationship...

I think we're sorted.

You can probably just sit and relax.

I'll take a seat. Yeah.

..and the ladies are hoping

to kick things off on the right foot.

Looks yummy.

..because at the end of lunch,

the families will choose who will be going on the final date.

Hopefully it tastes as good as it looks.

Yeah, please let it taste good.

(LAUGHTER)

Have you just spilled it? No, I think I'm OK.

Sarah's gonna get a wet butt. Yeah.

I think it's something pretty important

for them to meet everybody.

And we still all live in the farm,

we're pretty close-knit and we all get on.

Oh, here, yeah.

I want a partner who wants to be out here

and fits in with the family and gets on with everybody.

Yeah, just toss the salad.

It hasn't really worked out in past relationships.

Nah, she'll be alright.

Farmer Dustin's ladies have their work cut out for them

because there's a lot of family members.

Clean that up before they arrive.

Yeah, she'll be right.

Oh, hello.

How're you going? Oh.

Sarah, how're you going, alright?

How are you? I'm well.

Very nice to meet you. Same here.

Seeing Allison today was wonderful.

Hey, Belle.

There's my girl. (LAUGHTER)

I think coming in as Mum's choice...

she's the reason I'm here,

so I think she's a pretty good wing woman.

I'm here!

I walked all the way around the table.

I think me and my family have pretty good,

similar ideas when it comes to ladies

and what they're like and all that sort of stuff,

so if my family say

they don't like something about somebody,

I definitely take it into consideration

because sometimes they do see things I don't.

It's just nice to have a second or...

(CHUCKLES) ..tenth opinion.

(LAUGHS)

Can we get you guys some drinks?

Yeah, let's all sit. Sit down and get... yeah.

I don't think you'd ever offer.

We won't keep you waiting.

Nana, will you have something to drink?

Yeah, there's my glass there.

I'm feeling nervous.

It's really important to meet someone's family.

I know it would mean a lot to Dustin

and it will mean a lot to his family

to get to know each of us girls as well.

Oh, I'm down this end. Uh-oh.

The thing that I value the most is family,

and I can absolutely imagine my life with Dustin.

Yeah, should I?

I can imagine myself living out here,

raising a big family.

I'd like everybody to be upstanding

and we'll drink a toast to Dustin and the ladies.

The ladies. Dustin and the ladies.

The ladies. The ladies.

ALL: Cheers.

It's very important that Dustin's family

accept me into their family because they're very tight knit.

They all live here.

I mean, they're sort of all around. Yeah, righto.

So, it is important that they do see you

as someone that could just slot right in.

(LAUGHTER)

How was it, like, growing up with Joe?

It must have been annoying

when Joe used to pick up those snakes

and throw them at the girls.

Yeah, I've always been a little bit petrified of snakes.

And just, you know, walk into the bathroom

and there'd be a snake in the bath.

Yeah, no, I put a snake in the bathtub

while Clancy was in it.

(LAUGHS) Joe's pet!

I'm just so grateful that

these ladies from my family are here.

You know, they raised me, they know me inside out,

they know everything there is to know about me really.

Also, I'm just very curious

as to what they think about these ladies.

I've never worked with sheep before.

Like our farm's cattle and goats, but, you know, it's cool.

That was probably my favourite job.

Sarah is definitely the right sort of fit for me.

But I guess there's something between Keely and I as well.

The only thing is, I'm not sure if she's ready for that next step

and really settle down.

Well, Keely, you live on an island.

I do. So, tell us about your island.

I've lived in North Queensland for the last two years,

and it's just like a little small town community on the island.

It's quite nice.

So, is it inside the Barrier Reef?

Yes, Whitsundays, yeah. Whitsundays.

So funny, like all the people

that come travelling through and they say like,

"You must get so bored and you must..."

and I'm like, "Honestly, no.

Like, it's...

there's always something to do," and then they're like,

"Oh, but surely you must get sick of the view."

Oh, my God. Wow. Absolutely not.

Absolutely the biggest hurdle for Joe

is to find somebody who is prepared to change

so much about their life and to live in the farm.

This is an environment that's very different,

and I think that's really challenging for people.

There's been people that Joe's got along really beautifully with,

but their lives are just in different places

and that's probably been his biggest hurdle

is that his heart's here.

This is where he wants his life to be based from.

Happy to go other places, but this is home.

Yeah, no. (LAUGHS)

One of the things about Keely,

I just wonder how she'd go settling down

and in a place that's not particularly exciting.

And if she's got...

If she thinks she has the staying power for it

and if she's really thought it through.

Joe says you've travelled a lot.

Yeah, I lived in America for about six months.

Oh, nice.

Um, and I've, yeah, done,

you know, a lot of the Asian countries,

Thailand, Japan...

Yeah, fantastic. ..Bali, all of that, yeah.

And then travelled quite a fair bit

around Australia as well.

I have a few doubts

about whether or not

they'll be the right people for each other.

I think Keely's had lots of really interesting experiences

and loves to have adventures and travel,

but I wonder if that might mean

that she'd get a little bit flighty at times as well, yeah.

It's a good point.

Yeah.

So, what do you guys all do for work?

I own my own business. I own a gym.

Yeah, yeah, so it keeps me nice and busy.

Runs itself though, which is lovely.

I was going to say, 'cause you're here...

Adventurous things, yeah.

So, how long have you had it for?

I actually just, uh, I opened the day before I flew out.

Oh, wow!

It was a... Oh, sugar.

It was very little sleep on the way here.

So, exciting time.

Really, really exciting time.

But yeah, love it.

It's that fast pace, you know. Yep.

It's nice to get here

and actually just take a breath and calm down a little bit.

I don't have to go home.

I like, could just stay here.

I am a little bit nervous.

Obviously, I care about Todd really deeply

and I want to make a good impression on his family.

Oh, god, this is lovely.

But most definitely changing up the tactic after meeting his mates.

How are we?

Yeah, we're good.

How are you? Good.

It's lovely to finally meet you both.

I am coming in

with a very much softer reserve, I guess.

I feel like I've heard so much about you.

It's all lies. It's all lies. (LAUGHTER)

No, no, it was all good. It was all good.

I think I just need to take a step back

and let my walls down

and let them see the vulnerable side of me, I guess.

If you make a bad impression with the family,

that could be make or break,

especially this early on in a relationship.

Well, for starters, thank you for putting him on the show

because he is one of the most amazing people

that I've ever met in my life.

He is so kind and thoughtful

and he is just the best person, so...

We like to think we've done a good, reasonable job.

Thank you for doing that. Sparks straight away.

He got me from the very first meeting,

so yeah, I adore him.

Every moment I get to spend with Todd,

it's just great.

You know, it's just better and better, you know.

Like, I just...

I do. I think I love him already.

He's just the best person.

Yeah, so credit to you for being such a great mum.

(LAUGHS)

I don't think I did it on my own.

Yeah, he's a very, very special man.

Very special man. We think so.

Daisy's a confident young woman.

She's definitely jumped in boots and all.

I guess I'm a bit, like, um... I don't know how to say it.

Um, a bit cautious

when she seems so into it, straight up.

It's sort of like, it's...

Is it just, you know, going to be

a short little starburst type scenario?

He thinks the world of you, you know.

Doesn't stop talking about you, Rhonda.

So, yeah, very, very special.

All the good things, of course.

I find that hard to believe, but anyway.

Yeah, yeah.

Still to come...

Anna, what do you do in real life?

So, I work as a midwife.

I'm on call 24/7. Yeah, righto.

It's important for Dustin's future wife

to be out here and move to the farm.

..the families decide who will go on the final date.

It was definitely tough

and, yeah, we had a few debates on why we were choosing

and who we were choosing and...

My family's opinion is so important,

but at the same time,

if they don't pick Daisy, definitely something to,

think about continuing on.

Thank you.

With the final 24-hour date up for grabs...

I'm just assuming you guys all wanted one.

..the ladies are keen to make a good first impression

with the farmers' families.

That salad looks amazing by the way.

My family loves it, so I hope that you guys love it too.

Yeah.

This is the family's choice

to choose who gets to be Joe's last date.

Potentially this person's going to come to Christmas.

There's a bit of pressure from that side of things.

Now, what do you do?

I work at the cattle sales. Right, yes.

So, I do all the livestock, all the books

and the livestock administration and some mustering.

Right.

Yeah, but I also I write a little bit,

do some songwriting and play guitar.

That's my creative outlet,

so I either ride horses or I'm writing.

Writing or riding.

Yeah, so I really enjoy it. Well, that's great.

Yeah.

Do you sing as well, or do you just play guitar?

Yeah, I sing. She does.

She's very good.

You thought I was going to...

You don't have to sell yourself short.

You really do sometimes.

I do sing, yeah. For me. In the shower.

And for us when we're lucky.

Sarah was really engaging.

She is the sort of person

that I could really see Joe being with

because of that vibe, that chemistry,

the very upbeat nature that they both have.

The challenge? Thank you.

Whether or not they have complementary strengths

to get them through hard times

when they both feel stuck and isolated, I don't know.

(LAUGHTER)

So, what do you call this?

Rissoles. (LAUGHTER)

Darl.

Oh, dear.

I made a watermelon salad.

Collective effort with the walnut

and pumpkin salad as well, with feta.

Coming into the lunch today,

it was just for me to show them who I am.

Oh, good, good, good.

It's a good fresh one. They obviously...

They have an idea of what would work for Todd,

they've seen his past relationships, they've seen what works,

they've seen what doesn't work.

If I don't fit that mould... Dig in.

..they might have a few words with Todd.

So, girls,

what are your intentions with my son?

(LAUGHTER)

You know, are you just here for a... Marriage.

Marriage, yeah.

You know, you're not just here for a...

(SNAPS) ..and just out the door?

Longterm?

I definitely wouldn't have put myself in this situation.

Like, obviously I'm from WA,

that's a long way to travel to say, "Oh, actually, Nah."

You know, I really want to find someone,

you know, and I think Todd's an amazing man.

I care a lot about Todd.

And I'm here for Farmer Wants A Wife, right?

The wife part.

I'm not here for Farmer Wants A Friend.

I want... I want the end story.

Like, that's why I'm here. I wouldn't be here otherwise.

Doing it though, like,

it kind of does your head in a little bit.

It's probably harder than you anticipate,

but it's also better than you anticipate, so...

You're sort of putting yourself out there

all the time, aren't you?

Which is very, very brave of you. It's very hard.

Like, very brave of you.

Jacinta seemed really quite outgoing,

very chatty, lovely.

Quite willing to move and give it her all.

I know it is Todd's decision,

but what we put to him will influence his decision.

And that's, yeah...

If you get it wrong, then, yeah, we've stuffed up.

Yeah, ride off into that sunset.

(LAUGHTER)

Yep.

Lasagne's good though, Soph.

Thank you, Belle, that's kind.

Has it got pumpkin in it?

Maybe, yeah. Wow, that's really nice.

Here we go, someone's noticed.

That's just like, don't tell anyone.

So, it's important for Dustin's future wife

to get along with all the family members.

We're a close-knit family because we all work in so close.

Beautiful girls. You can cook for me any time.

And someone that was happy to move to the farm.

Dustin, he's not a person that would want to live in town.

He's got to live out in the middle of the farm.

So, what's your profession?

Soph, you're a speech therapist?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, speech pathologist.

So, yeah, working in early intervention.

So, yeah, just working with children.

But yeah, I like what I do,

but also, you know, always open to new things

and different experiences as well, yeah.

So, Anna, what do you do in real life?

So, I work as a midwife.

I follow women through their pregnancy,

deliver their babies

and then see them for six weeks after they have their babies.

Yeah, righto. I'm on call 24/7.

It is pretty full on.

Like you're very busy working full time,

but it's a very beautiful job, it's very rewarding.

It's a... It's a great privilege to do what I do.

The only thing that worries me with Anna

is she may be too career-focussed.

So, would you be happy to settle down on a farm?

Yeah, it very much is what I imagined in my future,

and I really want to be able to,

yeah, give my kids the same childhood that I had.

I think Anna will miss her career out here,

although it would be very, very handy

to have a midwife out here.

But in Condo Hospital, there's no baby deliveries there,

so that's the hard part.

So, you work to your full scope of practice,

which is really cool.

So, it's a very diverse job, but yeah, it's really good.

And giving up your career

and moving into the middle of nowhere,

where you can't continue your practising really, like,

if that makes sense, like, that's a big step.

I really love it.

Coming up, Caitlin reveals all.

I'm not someone that likes drama

and I know Bert doesn't like drama

and don't want to like stir anything,

but it also is like a bit of a red flag in my mind.

And big decisions need to be made.

There's a bit of pressure in that it's not just any date,

it's the last date, the last chance for somebody

to make a final impression.

Yeah, agreed. Agreed?

Let's get some dessert.

Now, pavlova is the way to his heart.

Soon the families will make the important decision.

We got a little bit happy on the cream, so...

Oh!

Oh, well.

Now, that's exciting.

Who will be chosen for the final date,

a full 24 hours with the farmers?

Got him? Got him.

On Dustin's farm, Mum, Allison

and sister Sarah

are catching up with Mum's choice...

I'm scared. ..Belle.

Imagining a future here with Dustin does excite me,

and I think it's very important for Dustin's family to accept me.

Dustin had a previous relationship

where she wasn't prepared to live out here

in such a remote area.

So, it's a real concern for them and they've seen that happen.

Thank you.

So, it'd be really important for them to know

that I'd happily live out here.

So, Belle, do you like it so far?

I do. I do really... I love it so far.

Are you glad I chose you?

I'm super glad you chose me, yeah.

How do you feel about Dustin?

You know, I really like him

and I definitely see a potential

for something really great between us

and I could definitely see myself out here.

So, Belle, if you moved out here,

would you want to work, or...

Um, honestly, probably not. Yeah.

Dustin probably would also rather someone here

with him on the farm.

Like for example, Anna's a midwife, Sophie's a speech pathologist.

Like, do you think

that they're going to be too focussed

on their career in a way?

Like...

I do know they'll miss it if they do give it up.

Yeah.

And I don't think

you want to have regrets coming out here.

I don't think you want to go out and be like,

"Oh, you've stopped me from doing this."

Dustin and Belle, I think they'd be a good match.

I think she fits in with the family.

She seems very relaxed.

She just gets on with it

and there's just something about her as well.

Yeah.

After a long meal at Bert's farm,

Brooke is hoping

she's the lady chosen for the final date.

I'll take your plates. Thank you.

I haven't had as many dates as the other girls.

But I don't think my lack of time has been a detriment.

I think it's more of a testament to sort of the connection I do have.

Yeah, this is mango mousse.

My great aunty gave this recipe to my mum,

and my mum makes it for all our family events,

so I thought I'd make it tonight.

It's my first time making it, so sorry if it's bad.

But it's one of my favourites, so yeah.

Hope you enjoy it. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Thanks, Brooke.

I can just tell Bert is in his head,

and I can just tell he's stressing.

So, I'd love to be chosen for the next solo date.

It would just be nice to sort of chill out a little bit

and see what he's thinking or feeling and yeah.

Do you want a wine?

Yes, please.

Pass that one down? Thank you.

You know, the girls obviously want to make

a great impression on Bert's family,

but it's hard to tell, you know, who is genuine

and who's here for the right reasons.

What girl do you reckon Bert wants to be with?

Hmm.

I think maybe someone who's like easy going, laidback.

You know, Bert's a really like easy going person.

I feel a bit nervous

about the family picking the next date.

His perfect girl would have to get along with all of us,

that's for sure, yeah.

No, I don't doubt that.

I feel like Karli puts like a good persona on,

but I don't think Karli is the right person suited for him.

I want to tell them about Karli.

There's something that I would like them to know.

To make the right decision.

The final date decision is moments away.

You know, I can see myself fitting in Bert's life

and him fitting in with my life as well.

But Caitlin has something she needs to get off her chest.

Just 'cause I've had a 24-hour date previous

doesn't mean that I don't deserve another one.

100% I'm still going to fight for it.

I feel I need to tell them some information that they,

you know, should know.

I'm not someone that likes drama

and I know Bert doesn't like drama...

Yeah. ..and don't want to stir anything.

But...

like, Karli has mentioned to Brooke and I that...

after this experience,

she's already been in contact with companies to do promotions.

That is like a bit of a red flag in my mind

that she potentially might...

Maybe doesn't have the best interests?

Yeah. OK.

Would you say she's like here for her own agenda?

Yeah, so that's not me taking a stab at their relationship.

That's exactly what Brooke and I have heard from her mouth.

And I'm sure like if the girls had something on me,

like they would say as well,

'cause I'm sure that they want the best for Bert as well.

And, you know, Bert deserves someone amazing.

Like he's an amazing guy

and just, you know, I want the best for him.

Yeah. Mm-hm.

Karli has lined up some brand deals

or whatever for after the show,

which kind of raises some concerns

that maybe she's not here for Bert.

On the other hand, of course,

is that coming from like a good place of Caitlin?

It's... It's all very hard to tell.

I'm not here for the girls, I'm here for Bert, and only Bert.

And yeah.

I definitely would love to have another 24 hours with Bert,

so fingers crossed.

Probably better clear these plates.

Yeah. Take some bowls.

Serious decision. Serious decision to make.

Yeah, delicious lunch. It was really good.

Around the country, the meals have come to an end,

and the farmers' families must make a difficult decision.

Absolutely lovely from what I saw.

That was a really good day.

It was so nice. It was an amazing day.

I just want my family

to make the choice that they want to make.

I had my own views knowing there was a date coming up,

and I think, yeah, this would be the last opportunity to see

if there's anything else there.

Hard decision. (LAUGHS)

It is a big decision

and I think they all seem really intelligent, really...

Smart, interesting. Yeah, interesting.

They're all great, yeah. ..young women.

Like really potentially any of them

would be a good wife for Joe, really.

Potentially, that's right.

Potentially. Yes. Yeah.

All of these women are beautiful people

with a lot to offer, so I think it's a bit tricky.

And there's a bit of pressure

in that it's not just any date, it's the last date.

The last night he's going to spend with somebody,

the last chance for somebody to make a final impression.

Keely I thought maybe would have made a great partner

for him in his 20s.

I can just see that they could have gone and done,

like, had a huge amount of fun together.

But whether or not

they'll round each other, they may well.

You know, nobody can tell the future.

You can never tell.

Belle has come in a bit later as well,

whereas Anna and Soph,

they've known Dustin for a little bit longer.

I'm actually very keen to see who they pick.

Quite obviously there is a strong connection

between me and Anna and Sophie and I.

I think Belle's probably a bit of a hidden gem.

I think I have been flying under the radar.

I don't think the girls

have really taken me seriously in this experience,

but I would really appreciate this final 24-hour date.

I feel like Dustin and I are just getting started

and I think there's a lot, a lot we can do and catch up on.

Anna, you've only got to listen to her,

she knows what she's after and where she's come from

and what she wants to do, but I don't really know.

So, what do you guys think about all the girls?

This date is really important.

Obviously, we'll be going down to the final two,

and that's pretty intense.

I just hope, like, these 24 hours sort of clarifies things for Bert.

Well, what did you think about Caitlin's comment about Karli?

I think it's a little bit concerning, for sure.

You know, we always...

There's always a concern that people could be coming here

and maybe it not being for the right reasons, so...

But I think that just, you know, time will tell.

Yeah.

Daisy?

Um...

I think that my conversation

with Rhonda and Anna was really good,

so hopefully I've gained their approval.

She's very confident.

I think Grace and Ellen were a little bit quieter.

Just seems out there

and sort of, obviously as you said, well spoken and sort of just...

Putting itself out there a bit too.

Yeah. It's a full 24-hour date.

It's not just an afternoon or a cup of tea.

It will be a big influence of the girl

that we choose on her standing in the group.

Yeah, agreed. Agreed?

Yeah, agreed. Paper, scissors, rock.

(LAUGHTER)

The final 24 hour date

has the power to change relationships.

The families must reveal

who will spend that crucial time alone with their farmer.

Farmer Joe's sister and grandmother have left the job

to mum Dinah and other sister Clancy.

Hello! Here they come.

Here they are. Hello.

Hello there. Hello.

I'm excited.

I trust my family with absolutely everything in my life,

so they're going to choose the lady that

they feel I need the most time with at the end of the day,

I'm sure of it.

It's been a pretty difficult decision for us to be making.

It's just that you all have something,

you know, really quite remarkable.

I mean, I think Keely,

you're lovely and bubbly and so much fun.

It's so important to have that time

and it's also important

that it comes from his family and hopefully they do choose me.

Sarah, you've got that connection with Joe

and, you know, the horse riding and the cattle and everything.

I know how great a 24-hour date can be.

You learn a lot about someone in that time

and it can solidify your connection with them.

And with Claire, you're a lovely woman

and you're so, like, capable.

I know I've just had time with Joe, but this at a time,

this late in the game, could make or break a lot of things.

That is why this opportunity

with whoever that lady will be is huge.

So, we've had a lot of discussion

and it's been a really difficult decision.

And our decision isn't who we really think

he should choose or anything like that.

We would just like to see

him spend a little bit more one on one time with this girl.

And the girl that we've chosen for him

to do that with is Keely.

Aww. Thank you.

I can definitely see a connection,

but whether there's as much as the other two girls,

I just don't quite see.

I think the extra time would just give Joe the chance

to make that informed decision.

You know, 24 hours is a long time to spend with someone

and I do think that that will determine

whether he does see something with me or not.

Thanks so much for being here.

No worries, thanks for having me.

Love you both,

and I appreciate you more than you know.

Love you too. Love you too.

Another date with Keely,

I truly believe

is what's needed for us to know

where we stand with each other.

So, it could solidify it or it could not work out.

So, I hope it goes well for all of you.

Thank you so much.

(BLEATING)

Well, I guess it's come down to it.

And congratulations to all you three girls.

You've made it hard for Dusty.

The final two is just around the corner

and Dustin's going to make

that decision very soon to say goodbye to one of us.

The 24-hour date, it's super valuable time.

It's so hard, just a hard decision.

It's really hard, yeah.

I don't really know where I stand with Dustin.

He doesn't really give a lot away

and it feels like it's been a while since we've had any one-on-one time.

I hope I made a good impression.

At the end of the day, around the table we thought,

for all sorts of reasons and no disrespect to any of youse,

that we've decided that Dustin should spend a 24 hour date with...

Belle!

(CHEERS AND LAUGHTER)

No, we just felt that

you could probably have a little bit more time with Dustin,

just to get to know him a little bit better, and yeah.

Aw, thank you, guys.

Like we love you all and it was like...

It was so hard.

Like we say, at the end of the day,

it's Dustin's choice,

and we just want to make it harder for him.

(LAUGHTER)

I can tell.

I came in as Mum's choice,

and then friends' choice, and now family's choice.

(CHUCKLES) So, tick, tick, tick, I guess.

Who knows what the next choice will be.

Thanks, everybody, and I suppose we'd better get home

and, well, you blokes better get home

and, uh, thank you very much.

It is tough knowing Belle's got two dates in a row.

And it's quite stressful knowing that that's the last person

that's going to spend one on one time with Dustin.

Thank you.

That's alright. Have fun.

Up next...

So, we've all had a bit of a discussion.

..the families pick the all-important

final two 24-hour solo dates.

We've chosen the person

who's going to go on the next date with Bert.

I just don't want to see Karli get picked tonight.

I guess I just want to start with saying thank you for today.

It was really nice to meet you all,

and I really appreciate you all sort of taking the time

and chatting with us.

I just definitely can understand

how tough it is for you guys, so yeah.

Thank you, guys.

My family's opinion is so important.

This date could affect the way I feel about someone.

I am pretty eager to find out

who my family have chosen for the 24-hour date.

But at the same time, if they don't pick Daisy,

it's definitely something to, I guess, think about.

Daisy, we really appreciated the chat we had.

Found that you were so open and honest

and that was really lovely.

I think it's hard not to be nervous

going into this decision about the 24-hour date, you know.

Obviously, we all want it.

I think I've shown his family enough how much I care about him

and how much I want this extra time.

Jacinta, we also appreciated

you being honest with how you were feeling

about the whole process

and how you were so open and vulnerable

and, yeah, that was really lovely for us.

For me, if I don't get the date today...

there's a potential that I don't build

those foundations.

The date's pretty important to me.

So, we had to make a decision.

It was definitely tough,

and yeah, we had a few debates on why we were choosing

and who we were choosing and...

It was really, really hard. It was really hard.

So, the lady we chose for this date... is Jacinta.

Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you so much.

I really appreciate that.

That's, yeah, really kind of you

and I think we had some really good chats.

We loved meeting all of you

and would happily welcome any of you into our family.

Yes.

A little bit shocked.

The parents' input is even more important as his mates.

But, you know, at the end of the day,

Todd's going to make that final decision.

Good luck, girls.

Thank you for putting him on the show.

(LAUGHTER)

The family chose Jacinta for this date,

and I guess just that probably makes me

a little nervous about Daisy and that.

It still is a little bit playing on my mind about her,

I guess, likeness to previous partners.

Am I making the same mistakes?

Am I going back down the same road?

Like, is it going to end the same way?

Oh. What a day.

Yeah.

Hello, guys. Welcome back. (CHUCKLES)

I feel like I've definitely connected with Bert's family,

and in this point in time,

a 24-hour date is obviously, you know, invaluable.

So, I hope that they choose me for the date.

Well, I'd like to hope

that I've made a good impression on Bert's family.

I just don't want to see them pick Karli for the day.

So, we've all had a bit of a discussion.

And we've chosen the person

who's going to go on the next date with Bert.

And we think that they share a lot of the same interests

and hobbies and similarities as what Bert does.

And I think it's only fair that,

you know, Bert gets the opportunity to see

if there is a connection with this person.

And with that being said...

You know, hopefully a little bit more of a,

uh, non-biased outsider looking in,

sort of, picking will give me an indication of where to go next.

Brooke, we think that

you should go on the date with Bert.

Thank you. That's OK.

Yeah, they picked me

because they see something positive in me,

and yeah, I feel really special about that,

and yeah, I'm really excited.

But yeah, thank you so much for having us here for dinner.

The food was amazing,

and it's been such a pleasure

to get to chat with each one of youse.

I'm very disappointed.

Maybe they chose Brooke for that reason

that she hasn't had that much time.

Not based off purely what they may have wanted

to make their choice to be.

But we'll see who's there at the end.
