Eliminated Farmer Wants a Wife contestant Olivia returned to the show to pursue Farmer Joe, and the cattle and sheep farmer has revealed his shock over her bold move.
Olivia was originally paired with Farmer Bert, the FWAW contestant wasn’t invited back to Farmer Bert’s farm, and was sent home as a result.
After scoping out Farmer Joe on the first night, Olivia returned to have a crack at a relationship with him. However, during an interview with Chattr ahead of the episode airing, Farmer Joe revealed that Olivia’s return actually left him very confused.
“It was strange. In one sense, I was flattered that someone went to all that effort to try and come back to meet me,” he said.
“But then that was quickly overtaken by a lot of confusion as to how this all came about. I thought that Olivia obviously put herself out there not once to twice, so she was obviously serious about what she wanted.”
However, Olivia’s brave move was soured for Farmer Joe because he wasn’t sure why Olivia picked Bert first.
“I was confused, I felt like second best,” he admitted. “I guess the biggest thing was, what made her change her mind because we’d had no interaction before that?”
What happened during the episode?
During the episode that aired on Sunday, April 21, host Samantha Armytage told the contestants that the move was about to make FWAW history.
“I have had a very unusual request. In fact, this is something that has never, ever happened before on Farmer Wants a Wife,” she said.
“One of the ladies who wasn’t invited back to Bert’s farm has reached out to me and asked for a second chance at finding love.”
Sam explained that the mystery woman wasn’t come back for Bert, before reintroducing Olivia.
Olivia asks Farmer Joe for a chance
Olivia turned heads as she strutted through a country fair to meet up with the FWAW crew. Once there, she told Sam Armytage that she was looking to explore things with Farmer Joe.
“So Joe — when he first walked in, he walked in with a cheeky grin and I thought, ‘Oh I’m in trouble’,” she told the group.
“So yeah I just came back to shoot my shot and see if there’s a connection,” she added.
The group was informed that Olivia would join Farmer Joe’s date, and he would make a decision at the end about whether he wanted to invite her back to his farm.
“I’m obviously very flattered that she wanted to come meet me, but at the same time all the ladies in our household are very tight-knit,” Joe said in a confessional.
“I think there’s going to be a little animosity with Olivia joining us.”
Did Farmer Joe invite Olivia back to his farm?
Farmer Joe and Olivia spent time together on the country fair date and shared a romantic moment where they watched the fireworks together.
During that exchange, Joe and Olivia put their arms around each other, making it look very much like he would invite her back to his farm.
However, that wasn’t the case.
“Olivia, to her credit, I can’t respect her enough. Walking down there in front of everyone, and just putting herself out there, it was pretty amazing to see.
“Unfortunately, I feel like I’d be doing, to all the other girls on my farm, a discredit to bring you back and I’m sorry about that,” Famer Joe said.
