Last week, dozens of people across America were captivated by the crazy Southern fried antics on Farmer Wants a Wife. In case you missed the series premiere, 10 city girls arrived in Missouri with the hopes of falling in love with a 29-year-old farmer named Matt Neustadt. He became smitten with Christa after a romantic date involving mint juleps and longing glances, and he somehow tolerated Josie even though she's completely insane. In the end, Matt sent Stephanie home after she was unable to adjust to life in the country.
Tonight, Matt has the girls get down and dirty with some pigs, then takes them out on the town for a wild night of playing bingo with the elderly.

Farmer Wants a Wife, The CW's new reality dating show with a twist, debuted last week on Wednesday, April 30. It's hard not to shake your head with that title, and the premise of the show only proves the point.
One lonely farmer is in search of his perfect match and has agreed to bring in 10 city gals to choose from. Of course, given the title, the bachelor and the setting, beauty and brains aren't the only factors farmer Matt is looking for. He's actually more keen on checking out the ladies' farm-related skills, using various farm activities as tests to see how well they can manage. Of the 10 contenders for Matt's stamp of approval, two happen to come from Orange County.

When I first heard of the existence of Farmer Wants a Wife I thought it had to be some sort of joke. Certainly a show with such a straightforward, Snakes on a Plane type of title couldn't actually be real, right? Then I learned that it was a reality show on the CW, and soon it all made perfect sense. As the CW's commercials have made abundantly clear, the show is a complete joke, but it's a legitimate competition as well. Starting tonight, 10 city girls will compete for the affections of a 29-year-old Missouri farmer named Matt. It's like The Bachelor, but with manure and a few more ho jokes.

The CW is helping one charming and hard-working farmer find romance through a new reality series called Farmer Wants a Wife. The show, which is based on a successful British program of the same name, will present the single farm boy with 10 beautiful women, all whom have are fed up with big city dating and looking to give the simple life a try.
As with any reality dating series, the ladies will have to go through several challenges, including taking care of farm animals and driving tractor, in order to show just how well (or unwell) they can adapt to life at a farm. The women will also be able to see just how compatible they are with the “back-roads” guy by going on various romantic dates.
