The CW lets 'Farmer Wants a Wife' out of the barn on April 30

Farmer_lTen women. One farmer. A bunch of livestock. Is this any way to find true love? The CW certainly hopes so. The network will unveil its new hog-eat-hog reality show, Farmer Wants a Wife, on Wednesday, April 30, at 9 p.m., after America’s Next Top Model. The show, which has been a hit in several European countries, will chronicle the romantic journey of a Missouri farmer who seeks that special someone to hoe around with. His fish-out-of-water female suitors — who hail from the big city — must compete in barn-based challenges like rounding up chickens. At the end of each elimination ceremony, the contestant without an egg under her assigned hen is sent packing. Are you getting the feeling that we’re going to be having fun with this show 'til the cows come home?

I was so happy Matt picked Brooke , first of all I think Christa showed Matt what she was really like when they where all in the barrell together. A smart man like a farmer wants a wholesome, God fearing woman like Brooke. I know they're going to do just fine.

Godzy Tue, Jul 1, 2008 at 12:53 PM EST

I think that Matt should've picked either Amanda, Christa or KJ. I think either one of these girls would be a better long term match for him. However, I do want to see the wedding, if for no other reason, to see if Matt or Brooke goes through with it.

AL Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 09:45 PM EST

I think he picked Brooke because that is who his mom liked. He really seemed to prefer Christa.

denise connell Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 07:08 AM EST

love the show love matt and brook sequel farmers big wedding matt when the big day

deb Fri, Jun 27, 2008 at 01:34 AM EST

I was absolutely right from the begining!! I said Matt and Brooke seem to match up very well!! My daughter and grandson weren't real happy with the outcome but you'd thought I knew M&B, I was so happy to see that banner with Brooke's name!! Just hope it really works out!

Jack Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 09:22 PM EST

Great show.When is the sequel "Farmers Big Wedding " ?

LuLu Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 10:20 AM EST

OMG Matt ... how could you?

connie Thu, Jun 26, 2008 at 12:35 AM EST

im sure your cousin is nice and all, but i just knew that Brook was the one he was gonna pick. you could just tell....

Riss Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 10:12 PM EST

Hey Christa you local superstar!!! for all those who didn't see the finale Christa unfortunatly took runner-up and i don't know why all you guys are dissingo n her! SHe is my real cousin and she is a great person. SHe was raised in Cincinnati and that is not a big city so give her credit pu-leeze!!!! Love ya babe hope you read this you celebrity-in-training!!

chet Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 06:20 PM EST

We have wondered how the women or the farmer qualified for the show. Any truthful ideas would be appreciated.

sthompson Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 02:09 PM EST

Love the show. I think he should pick Brooke. She is more honest and real than the other girl. I am from a farm in Alabama. I know what it takes and she's got it.!

LUCY Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 09:09 PM EST

GET RID OF CHRISTA SHE IS NOT COUNTRY.

DMS Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 03:57 PM EST

I really enjoy the Show. I just think he needs to get rid of BROOK now.

Tanya Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 07:28 PM EST

I LOVE THIS SHOW I hope he picks AMANDA!!

Bridgett Wed, May 14, 2008 at 08:40 PM EST

Omg!!! I can't believe this. City girls are sooo STUPID! I'm a mixture of both city and country. I was just watching the show i never knew about it til now. It said portage de sous or something like that..haahah thats like 10 min from where i live and im moving there this summer what a ka-winky-dink!

Devon Donnan Wed, May 7, 2008 at 08:57 PM EST

well i love watching this show. but i think that all those city girls need to go back where they came from cuz they dont have what it takes to satisfy a farmer. he needs a real country girl to take care of him.like me lol

mommab Wed, Apr 30, 2008 at 07:43 PM EST

I can hardly wait to see this! gonna be hilarious from what we have seen in advertisements!

Jae Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 10:42 AM EST

They released the pictures of the cast. I was expecting better looking girls. Most city girls I see are much hotter. Too bad

Karen Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 05:23 PM EST

This bachelor is a great guy with awsome hair.....Good luck Mathew

Karen Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 05:21 PM EST

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I didn't realize He was from here in the St. Charles area. Sarah, if you are still in the area, let's talk.

fly4fun Thu, Apr 3, 2008 at 03:22 PM EST

It's finally here and all of Cincinnati will be proud. You go Christa. Can't wait to see the show.

adam Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 11:49 PM EST

Marinda Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 09:06 PM EST

this show is way hot in the netherlands...i cant wait to see it!!! I wish it would come to canada...let those city slickers try and rough it up here where the real farmers live

sarah Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 10:01 AM EST

People don't appreciate what farmers do. If it weren't for them none of us would be eating. Trust me, this farmer is hot...he is from my hometown.

Shannon Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 01:41 AM EST

The picture is in itself ridiculous... What a joke!

john Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 12:31 PM EST

Who even cares about Veronica Mars? I'd much rather watch city girls on a farm. Catching chickens...GOOD LUCK!! ha! ha!

sarah Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 12:28 PM EST

I think i'll watch city girls on a farm. They have no idea what they are in for...how many girls from the city even know how to milk a cow? Most people don't even appreciate farmers but I bet they appreciate their milk everyday.

s Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 07:06 AM EST

this show has been huge in europe. dunno why but we like to watch a hookup that is a little more sensere than the bachelor. love the hillbillies

Rodders Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 10:05 PM EST

Sounds like the Dirty Cows show from England. I like that name better, should have kept that along with the whole premiss.

elle Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 04:30 PM EST

My friend is on this show! YEs finally it has come out! Its suppose to be hilarious!

julie ackerman Tue, Mar 11, 2008 at 10:01 AM EST

SDA333 Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 04:56 PM EST

Oh, for God's sake! The CW cancels their best show, "Veronica Mars", and chooses to put this thing on? You've gotta be kidding...
