Seven had the top primary (18.7%) and network (27.6%) share thanks to a strong start from Home and Away with 633,000 followed by Farmer Wants a Wife with 660,000 viewers
On Farmer, Rob realised that he hadn’t found love with any of his three remaining ladies. “Unfortunately you can’t manufacture love, and if there isn’t a spark there, there’s nothing to build on.”
With Lucy, Meg, and Katie, in the kitchen, Rob explained, “I probably think we’re great friends, but I don’t think I feel that lightning bolt connection with any of you.” Appreciating the ladies’ busy lives with careers and children, Rob suggested it was best to leave the farm. “Oh for f**sake,” said Meg letting rip to camera after Rob announced his news. “This is my chance at finding love.”
Another shock happened when the Farmers were introduced to a new lady chosen for them by their mothers.
The Farmers met their mothers’ chosen ladies for a date at the pub. Andrew and Will decided they had stronger connections with the ladies already on the farm and chose not to invite them back.
Sam and Matt invited their mothers chosen ladies back to the farm to meet the other ladies.
Still not having been chosen for a one-on-one date and sensing Andrew has stronger connections with the other ladies, 26-year-old receptionist Caity decided to leave the farm.
