Previously on Farmer Wants a Wife, we saw how the women went into the kitchen and brushed up their culinary skills in a bake off to give Farmer Matt a taste of their pie. We also saw how the women attempted to shear a sheep, much to Matt’s delight. He was impressed, up until the women had a revealing drinking game in which Ashley got so drunk she let slip a bad word which rung in Matt’s ears. The following day, the gang headed to the local fair, where Matt judged the women’s pies and hailed Amanda the winner of the challenge.
Tonight, the elimination was stellar as the name of the unlucky girl who was heading home appeared through a giant display of lights in front of everyone to see. Lo and behold, it was Lisa’s name that appeared, and she openly received Matt’s thoughts about her not being much of a farmer’s wife.

Last week on Farmer Wants a Wife, we learned that stalking a hunky bachelor isn't enough of a crime to get someone kicked off the show. Brooke and Lisa, who previously showed up on Matt's doorstep in the dead of night after finding his address on a discarded magazine label, managed to survive the elimination round. While stalking may be acceptable in the state of Missouri, it's apparently illegal to be antisocial and unexcited about square dancing. Farmer Matt decided to eliminate Stacey after getting the impression that she wasn't enjoying his down home country gatherings.
Tonight, Matt plays a drinking game with the girls that quickly turns crass, and the contestants battle each other in a bake-off.

Tired of the same old dirty reality dating series? Here’s one to freshen up your view on the dating scene—The CW’s Farmer Wants a Wife. The reality show, which aims to help one charming and hard-working farmer find romance, is based on the successful British program of the same name. The CW gathered 10 city girls to compete for the affections of 29-year-old Matt Neustadt from Missouri. Since April 30, we’ve been served up with butterface goodness and city-girl-gone-country antics that surely entertains our Wednesday nights.

Last week, the nation had a period of mourning as the CW aired reruns of Farmer Wants a Wife in order to avoid the juggernaut known as the American Idol finale. Not only was I deprived of Farmer Matt's abs and butterface, but David Cook won instead of David Archuleta. Anyway, on the last new episode of FWAW, Brooke and Lisa creeped Matt out by showing up at his house uninvited in the middle of the night. Prior to that, Amanda impressed Matt's parents on their private date together. Will her wholesome good girl image win the farmer's heart forever?
Tonight's episode features both saucy square dancing and a dramatic corn harvesting challenge. Let's see them do that on American Idol!

For the past few weeks, we've pretty much focused on Josie Goldberg and Brooke Ward – the two contenders from Orange County on Farmer Wants a Wife. After Josie got booted in a dramatic episode where she boycotted the decision for several hours, Brooke became the sole OC representative left standing.
This week, we take a peek at what tomorrow's episode is all about, and get some insight into another one of the hopefuls trying to win farmer Matt Neustadt's country boy heart.

Could sugar and spice and oh so sweet be as bad as born obnoxious? It seems that the Orange County girl left standing in the reality show, Farmer Wants a Wife, is no better-liked than her recently eliminated fellow Californian.
Last week, we reported that notorious Josie Goldberg, the other Orange County lass in the reality series, was kicked out of contention for farmer Matt's affections. She was unquestionably a popular choice among her fellow Farmer Wants a Wife contestants to get the boot, with her loud potty mouth and prima donna attitude. What's turned out to be a surprise though, is how her much sweeter and nicer compatriot is now getting flak from the other remaining contenders.

Last week on Farmer Wants a Wife, Farmer Matt finally realized just how much craziness Josie could pack into her tiny little frame. After he wisely booted the lazy cow for frightening the elderly people at a bingo parlor, Josie refused to leave the competition until she received a parting gift. She sat around huffing and stomping for hours, repeatedly telling the producers that they were going to have to call the sheriff to get rid of her. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Josie carted away in handcuffs, because she left on her own after realizing that her consolation prize would never come.
Tonight, the remaining girls participate in a tractor race, and nearly everyone bonds over their shared hatred of Brooke.

It was exactly one week ago when we reported on the fact that there were two women from Orange County in the running for farmer Matt's heart on The CW's Farmer Wants a Wife. Well, that was LAST week, there WERE two and since then, now there's just one.
So what happened? One of them got the boot from our farmer bachelor and she sure wasn't pleased about it. Josie Goldberg, easily the resident loudmouth of the bunch, did not go quietly off the farm and back into the city. No sireee. Just the opposite, the spoiled girl from Laguna Niguel stood her ground (more like sat her bum) for hours, insisting on waiting for a farewell present before leaving. Well, she didn't get any and was eventually left with no choice but to ride off into the sunset. Here's what the kicked-out hopeful had to say to The Orange County Register about her all-too brief stint on Farmer Wants a Wife.
