Farmer Wants a Wife: Contestant Bios and Pics!
Farmer Wants a Wife is coming in a few weeks -- the premiere is April 30, if you're waiting with bated breath -- and The CW has just released bios of the farmer and his aspiring wives. The women's interests are about as urban as possible (think gallery-hopping, spa-going, and musical-attending), while Farmer Matt prefers deer hunting and tending to his crops of soybeans. Gee, think there'll be a culture clash? Check out pics of the women (the farmer remains a mystery) and tell us, even if you do plan on watching this show, would you ever admit to it?
Now, on to the bios!

i so hope they air the wedding. i feel we desrve to see it since we were there through all the eliminating. i love brooke , all the other girls were just jelous. so excited she won.

We live on a farm and it can be very stressful. I hope Brooke can take too much rain, not enough rain, not a montly or weekly check, just money when you sell and you have to be a good marketer to hit the high price. Not to mention diesel fuel is 4.35 per gallon and a four wheel drive tractor holds more than three hundred gallon. When you farm, you don't need to go to the boat, you gamble everyday. Good luck to both!

This show was so fake! What a joke! Most of the girls have acting as an interest and you can tell they where on the show for the exposure. I'm sure it will backfire on them. It was worse than a B rated movie!
I bet Matt & Brook parted ways 5 minutes after the producer yelled "Cut" There was no love, just a crappy bunch of wanna be actors.
Posted by: Niki | June 27, 2008 1:04 AM
I knew Matt would pick Brook!!! She was the better one of all the girls, in my opinion. Way to go Matt and way to go Brook. I'm so sorry to see that it is flooding in that area though. Ya'll are in my prayers. Keep God first!! God bless!!
Posted by: Farmer 'watcher' | June 26, 2008 3:29 PM
i am so disgusted that matt picked brooke! i didn't like her from the beginning & i thinks they will not marry!! Christa with a "c" was a beeter choice, i could see them marrying right away, i don't think brooke is ready, she acts too much like a baby & if they marry, i think they are headed for divorce!!!
Posted by: julie | June 26, 2008 3:10 PM
I love this show! Matt you made the right choice with Brooke. Christa was mean and trashy, what decent girl walks into a small town store where everypne knows each other, and ask for condoms! what a ho. When will we get an update on Matt and Ms B? I would love to see them at some of our county fairs in MO this summer!!
Posted by: LB | June 26, 2008 12:17 PM
oh yeah just who I thought would win and who I wanted to win !!!!!Congrats Brooke you had it from the begining!!!!!good luck and best wishes to the both of you
Posted by: Lindsay | June 25, 2008 9:32 PM
omg i love this show...i think brooke should win i dont like christa at all she mean and and wierd(she would not fit in with the farm life. and talk about hot matt is so cute! i am glad 2 got voted off and i cant wait untill wed. i am so excited! I am addicted to this show i set a timer to make sure i am infront of the tv right when it comes on. Anyway good luck to you Brooke i just know you r going to win... if matt picks her he will have deffinatley made the right choose.

omg! i watched this last night and i was so happy to see 2 ppl go home!! so he can finally just focus on the only 2 girls he rly likes. i never could stand kj. wayy to whiney! but amanda was ok. brooke is so sweet and genuine!! she is always trying to be the better person and i hope matt will see and understand her maturaty. christa..oh jeez! i CANNOT stand her! i didnt like her from the beginning. she is such a complainer and gossiper! and i rly dont think that's what ppl do on a farm. a farmers wife doesnt just wake up and go outside and start complaining about her life! she should just go back to her bratty friends in the city..maybe she might be wanted there..hmm who knows? what a mistery. and honestly, christa, matt doesnt want to hear your problems when yall wake up and he wont listen to your gossip. if you win that'll be rly sad. the only things you'll be able to gossip to any more are the chickens your feeding outside. just go away and stop acting like a retarded little love struck beeyotch. brooke should so win!! good luck matt, pick brooke, she's a keeper!!

I saw it last night and I though Ashley would be going home. She had a chance to turn it around on the date and she didn't. Whatever Matt do, he shouldn't pick Brooke- to baby-ish and I don't know why Christa is still there. My money is on Amanda or Kanisha. Matt is soooooooooo hot!!! None of these chicks have any talent- I didn't think they would.
Posted by: samech | June 12, 2008 1:12 PM
I really think Brooke is the one for Matt. You can tell her feelings for him are genuine and real. I think Christa with a Ch needs to be gone. She is so negative and degrating to others, that it makes her very ugly.
Posted by: Crystal | June 12, 2008 8:57 AM
Matt if your really looking for a girl who is more capatible to your living style.Amanda is not the one she is not mature enough she still has to grow up a little.My vote would be Brooke because she is straight no games if you want her there then keep her in the farm.Christa seems to me like she can easily take farming for awhile then get bored be a barrel of trouble for you.Kanisha though she is sweet but I don't see any way of her handling for years to come being a farmer's wife.Matt this is not an easy decision it never is when you are looking for your equal.Trust in God He is always there.

I love matt. I hope he finds what he is looking for- even though that is wishfull thinking. I like Kanish and Lisa...the others are ok.

someone says he is cheap and ugly

I have lived in North St. Louis county all of my life. If you really want toi know Portage des Sioux is only about 10 minutes from major civilization.

MATT SEEMS TO HAVE HAVE A BLONDE PROBLEM. I THINK HE SHOULD KICK AMANDA OFF & SHIP HER DOWN TO MY PLACE IN THE BACKWOODS OF SOUTH GA. IF SHE WANTS COUNTRY WE GOT COUNTRY DOWN HERE AND SHE AIN'T GOT TO BE BLONDE TO BE GOOD LOOKING.
Posted by: WESLEY | May 14, 2008 9:00 PM
I think that this show is the greatest. It is so funny to see how these girls act. I am a city girl myself, but I hate the city life. If I was not happily married to my husband right now I would not mind being one of the girls that was on this show. I think that Matt has a sweet disposition and is very genuine. You can't find many guys like that nowadays.

krista with a, one of the female contestants went to high school with me. all the guys got a kick when she started stripping right out of high school..

My husband and I met on a farmers site and none of these girls seem to be there for a farmer rather than exposure except for maybe the texas one. I was going to watch this show if it was real but prob not now. thanks

OK, here's my problem: Missouri is full of middle-of-nowhere farming towns where these women could get a REAL taste of the isolation of farm life. But Portage des Sioux, where the Farmer lives, is about 30 miles from St. Louis! According to Mapquest, that's a 45 minute drive!
Look, I'll grant you, St. Louis doesn't exactly stack up against the cosmopolitan centers of New York or LA or Chicago, but it's a decent-size city with a decent amount of stuff to do -- good restaurants, bars, concerts, universities, etc. They can go to spas, and they can shop for shoes, and whatever. If they REALLY wanted to give these women a culture shock, why didn't they find a Farmer in serious Middle of Nowhere, Missouri, or better yet, Middle of Nowhere Nebraska or North Dakota? It seems like cheating!
