Farmer Wants A Wife is back for 2025 and Monday night’s episode saw no less than six women lose their chance at finding love in the country.

It was a brutal round of Speed Dates that left Farmer Thomas dumping Sophie, Edwina, and Ashleen before they even really got started.

Thomas failed to bond with the three beauties, who were sent home at the end of the episode.

Sophie, 32, is a teacher who’s done with being the ‘fifth wheel’ in her friendship group – she wanted her forever person.

Edwina, 29, a radiographer from NSW, was drawn to Thomas’ serious commitment to love and family.

And then there was Ashleen, 35, a senior event manager who says it’s the little things – like sharing life’s special moments – that matter most.
