The question is: are they actually farmers?
Dylan lives in Cherry Gardens, which is technically a suburb in Adelaide. Thirty minutes from the CBD.
The show is based around the premise of a large group of women competing for the affections of just five blokes who happen to operate farms (if you believe the promotional blurb), sort of like walking into a farm yard with five border collies, all jumping up and down and expecting a pat and a tid bit.
The first few episodes featured some unscheduled departures, with poor Jason losing two of his stable before he even had the chance to send one home (it’s the beard, mate, it’s the beard).
Unscheduled departures were followed by the obligatory emotional break-downs. “I can’t compete for one man’s affections”.
Hello, did you Google the previous 14 seasons?
Zac, was looking for “someone who wants me for me”, Alex thought they were all in with a chance, and Dylan, (the office favourite) was playing the diplomat, seeing “potential in all of them”. Oh, pass the bucket.
A feature of episode four was the country ball where the girls glammed up, and the boys changed one western shirt for another.
In true style, the girls hung loose on the floor, while the boys tried to grin and bear it, swinging their arms robot-style and desperately trying to look cool.
Girls danced with girls, but curiously, the blokes couldn’t relax. Are they nervous or something?
Alex added a more serious tone to the last episode, having to deal with the confronting spectacle of one of the girls daring to ask to say grace before a meal.
He couldn’t let this infraction go by, so he followed up with a serious talk the next day.
While she discussed her attitude to religion, Jason’s eyes glazed over while he thought: Did I lock the chooks up tonight?
The farm setting was clearly a comforting one for the blokes, who must have had at least 50 hectares between them.
Whenever things got a little too heated in the house, they’d simply jump on a tractor and drive around in circles until they calmed down.
