Farmer Wants A Wife viewers slam ‘rude’ and ‘disrespectful’ contestants over shock departure from Tom’s farm

Two contestants from this year’s Farmer Wants A Wife have completely ditched the show after less than 24 hours on the farm. 

On Monday night’s episode, lawyer Bridget, 34, and fitness coach Emmie-Rose, 29, bolted for the exit, without so much as saying goodbye to Farmer Tom. 

In the second episode of the season, the New South Wales sheep farmer met eight women, before a round of speed dating to determine who he wanted to invite back to his Borambola farm. 

Following the round of one-on-one dates, Farmer Tom eliminated three potential matches and invited Eliza, Emma, Emmie-Rose, Georgie and Bridget to spend more time with him.  

Bridget and Emmie-Rose were filmed hopping into a Maxi Taxi early in the morning, without providing an explanation for their Irish goodbye. 

Instead, Tom was left blindsided when he woke up to three – not five – single ladies remaining on the farm.

Outraged viewers have taken to X and Instagram to slam the two women for each taking a chance away from a genuine participant. 

‘I think they should have spoken to Tom and said their goodbyes. But it’s good they realised early that Tom or the farm wasn’t for them,’ one viewer commented on the official FWAW Instagram. 

‘Just so rude and disrespectful. They knew what they were in for,’ another surmised. 

‘Weak weak effort. Didn’t give it a decent go and rudely walked out. Terrible behaviour. Taken the place of people who genuinely wanted to be there.  Disgraceful effort, or lack of it,’ a third weighed in. 

‘Gave it all they could… not even 24 hours,’ another wrote. ‘Think he dodged a bullet there. They didn’t even help with the meal. They would not survive farm life.’ 

‘Do these women not think about the remoteness and what they have to sacrifice to be on a farm BEFORE they apply? You have wasted the farmer’s time and also taken away the opportunity for another woman to have a shot,’ one more wrote. 

‘Had they not seen previous seasons? They knew exactly what they were walking into,’ another pointed out. 

On their way out, the duo spoke about how they lost their spark with Farmer Tom following their solo speed dates in episode one.

‘My time is precious,’ Bridget told producers. ‘I wanna get back to Sydney and see my family and friends.’

‘We gave it all we could,’ Emmie-Rose added. ‘What’s the point in staying if there isn’t something there that both of us want to pursue?’

When a producer asked why the pair couldn’t stick around to give Farmer Tom an explanation for the sudden double exit, both Bridget and Emmie-Rose declined to comment. 

‘I’m sorry, I’m gonna politely decline,’ Bridget said as she made a beeline for the taxi. 

Farmer Tom took the double ghosting on the chin, telling producers that he wishes the pair ‘all the best’.
