00:06Our farmers' worlds are about to be turned upside down.
00:10They've each invited three potential partners to live on their farms for 10 days,
00:15and now they're on their way.
00:17We're about to discover who can handle life on the land
00:20and, more importantly, who's about to fall in love.
00:32I would honestly say that now's the perfect time to fall in love.
00:39Just to wake up each morning and have someone else to think about and care about,
00:43yeah, I think it would really change my life.
00:47I do tend to be drawn much more to the country boys.
00:52Settling down and having a family would just sort of complete my life.
01:00Our six lonely farmers are preparing to open their homes and their hearts.
01:06It's more than nerve-wracking. It's actually daunting.
01:09Right, you can put one over there.
01:10Each is today about to welcome three potential partners.
01:15Oh, getting a bit nervous now. It's getting close.
01:18He really must leave me in the middle of nowhere.
01:21The farmers will have 10 days to figure out which one they can see a future with.
01:27I don't know how they're going to go. I don't know how they'll react.
01:28I don't know. I don't know. It's all the great unknown, I guess, isn't it?
01:32But on the third day, they'll have to send one of their guests home.
01:37I'm dreading the selection. Yeah.
01:40Don't like disappointing people.
01:42Only the lucky few will win the Outback's Riches Prize,
01:46a lonely farmer's heart.
01:53At Farmer Ralph's horse stud in Western Australia,
01:56the man of the house is giving his bachelor pad a last-minute once-over.
02:02I'm excited about the girls coming.
02:04Probably only nervous because they're not really ready.
02:0928-year-old Ralph feels now is the time to meet the right girl and settle down.
02:16What I really like is someone that you can talk to and laugh to
02:19and talk about why the grass is green.
02:21You know, it doesn't matter what you talk about.
02:23It's always good fun because that can last you for the rest of your life.
02:27I think it's just going to be a very homely house.
02:30Ralph's three girls are each hoping they hold the key
02:33to this cheeky farmer's heart.
02:37There he is.
02:38Oh!
02:41Looks like we have never seen him before.
02:44Hello. About time.
02:47Ralph's first girl is 28-year-old Meryn.
02:50How are you?
02:50There you go. Good.
02:51Nice. Look at that.
02:53At the group date, she confided in farmer Ralph.
02:57I suffered from anorexia.
02:58And his tender reaction left her touched.
03:02It's hard to find someone who is open and honest
03:05and, you know, shares the same things that you would like in life,
03:08but I think I found that in Ralph.
03:11Hello.
03:12Melbourne nanny Courtney is Ralph's next girl.
03:16She places starting a family at the top of her to-do list.
03:20I am ready for that kind of responsibility and commitment
03:25and, yeah, I can't wait for it.
03:27Finally here.
03:29Exciting.
03:30Finally, there's 22-year-old Siri.
03:33Hands just a little bit closer together now.
03:35Whose job might give her a bit of an advantage.
03:38She's a horse trainer.
03:40I don't want to be someone who's still out and single
03:44when they're, you know, old,
03:46so someday soon would be nice to find someone really special.
03:51It's a bit of a bachelor pattern, but come in.
03:57On the wide plains that border the Murray River,
04:01three girls are on their way to Tim's farm.
04:04Sheep! Sheep! Sheep!
04:07They're looking forward to finding out
04:09if here in the country, shy Tim will come out of his shell.
04:13I've got myself three really nice girls
04:16who's coming to stay on the farm.
04:21Yeah, it should be good.
04:23Hopefully they're the right ones.
04:25How are you doing?
04:27How are you doing?
04:27Good, how are you?
04:28Great.
04:29I'm here eventually.
04:31I could see myself being with him just because of who he is.
04:34He's a lovely guy.
04:35He has a lot of fun.
04:36He's cute.
04:37Hi!
04:41Tim's especially keen to see Cairns dance teacher, Riley.
04:46She turned his head at the speed dates.
04:48Unbelievable.
04:49Someone as gorgeous as you would apply me,
04:52so I'm really, really taking the back of it.
04:54And the feeling was mutual.
04:56He always looks pretty cute, I reckon.
04:58Yeah, not too bad in the looks department at all.
05:02Catherine.
05:03Hey, how are you doing?
05:04Good, how are you?
05:05But Sydney art student Catherine
05:07also has designs on Farmer Tim.
05:10I don't consider myself to be a damsel in distress,
05:14but, yeah, I want to fall in love.
05:17Yep, nice safe life, Riley.
05:18Nice thing.
05:19With three girls vying for Tim's attention,
05:22the slow pace of life on his farm
05:24is set for a bit of a shake-up.
05:26All right, I've got to show you where you're going to stay.
05:28Yeah, cool.
05:33Hopeless, romantic farmer Paul is at Wagga Airport.
05:38He's aching to meet his soulmate,
05:40and he thinks she might be on this flight.
05:44I'm hoping, you know, one of these lovely ladies
05:46might be the new Mrs Macca.
05:48That's what I'm hoping.
05:49That's what I'm planning.
05:50I'll see you towards the end, all right?
05:53Paul shares his farm with his son, Jess,
05:55and he'd like to share it with a special woman, too.
05:58Good luck.
05:59Thanks, mate.
05:59I hope a lot that he finds someone
06:02to spend the rest of his life with.
06:04He'll be good.
06:12Very nervous.
06:15My insides of my stomach
06:16are like a whirlpool washing machine that I haven't.
06:20Paul's got a hunch
06:21his days as a single man may be coming to an end.
06:25The problem is he likes both these girls.
06:29How are we all?
06:30Hello.
06:31How are you?
06:32It's good.
06:34How are you?
06:36I thought, wow, there's two gorgeous girls,
06:39and they're about to come and stay at my place.
06:42I don't actually know what I'm going to do at the moment.
06:45Macca's already shared a kiss with single mum Norena.
06:50Yeah, I couldn't help myself.
06:52She just had to be kissed.
06:55How are you?
06:56But he's had a crush on former pub manager Brian
06:59for over a decade.
07:01You knew 10 years ago I was interested in you, didn't you?
07:05Did you?
07:05Yes.
07:06And at the speed dates, it was reignited.
07:08The spark is definitely still there.
07:10Definitely still there.
07:13Farmer Paul's been waiting years for the perfect girl.
07:16Now it seems two have come along at once.
07:20And look out, Macca.
07:22There's a third one on the way too.
07:24And Berenice already has Macca on her mind.
07:28I don't know.
07:29I hope he missed me.
07:36In South Australia's Gilbert Valley...
07:38This is our dog, Mac.
07:40...three girls are getting the grand tour of Andrew's farm.
07:43This little cottage that you're staying in was actually a pay office in the old days.
07:46But Ashley, Jessica and Mari are about to discover he's already got a special lady living on the premises.
07:54She's a fantastic woman and, you know, having someone like her would be awesome.
07:59Would you like to come outside, please?
08:01It was actually a bit of a surprise.
08:03Andrew's mum, Janet, came out to greet us.
08:06This is the most important woman in my life at the moment.
08:09Hello.
08:10Hi.
08:11You've got competition, girls.
08:13My mum, Janet.
08:14This is Mari.
08:14Hi, it's so nice to meet you.
08:17This is Jessica.
08:18That was a shock.
08:20Didn't expect to meet the parents on the first date.
08:22Well, who does?
08:24I don't know.
08:26Journalist Mari is a mum herself.
08:29She wants a man to help her build the family she's always dreamt of.
08:34And I'd love to be able to have a big family and just be surrounded with love and, you know,
08:42just kindness.
08:43Just make yourself at home.
08:45It's the way we've always been.
08:48Well, girls, I reckon it's time we get you in a bit of fun.
08:51So let's go get dirty, girls.
08:52All right.
08:53Great.
08:53Let's go away.
08:54Dirty, let's go.
09:02The chorus of the bush is one of the pleasures of country life.
09:07Do I have to carry you both across the threshold?
09:10But today, the outback is echoing with a new sound, visitors.
09:15Ah, who's this?
09:17Is she the X?
09:19Excitement is in the air as each farmer welcomes three potential partners to their farm.
09:25This is your bedroom, girls?
09:27Yes, we're sharing now.
09:29Each new arrival is wondering if one day they'll be calling this place home.
09:35That's my room, but we don't want to look at it.
09:36We do.
09:37No, I haven't had time coming that much.
09:46So what we have to do is get the ewes in that pen and the lambs in this pen.
09:51Stacey, Rachel and Alana have already arrived on Farmer Damien's farm.
09:57So we're going to run them through this drafting gate.
10:00And he's putting them straight to work.
10:03You know, you don't really get out that much and meet people from the big island,
10:06so it's just a good opportunity to be able to mix with a few sorts
10:09that you probably wouldn't have done otherwise.
10:10And, you know, if one of them's the one, then good luck to me.
10:13So, well, the ones who they've got blue, the ewes have got the blue brands on them.
10:17Oh, OK.
10:17Those might be an easy one, I could have told.
10:19For office manager Rachel, farm life is a breath of fresh air.
10:23We had to separate the lambs from the ewes,
10:26and considering I didn't really know the difference at the start, that was a bit tricky.
10:30She felt chemistry with Damien on the group date.
10:33Oh, so were you looking forward to seeing me today?
10:35Yeah.
10:38And she's hoping it could lead to bigger things.
10:41You know, it's good to meet someone,
10:43and hopefully you can live that fairy tale that you had in your mind when you were 10.
10:49Damien's next girl, Cairns teacher Alana, is ready for a serious relationship.
10:55But she's not going to settle for second best.
10:58I don't want to fall in love again at not work.
11:01So it's got to be love the whole way through.
11:05Are these little ones?
11:06Little ones.
11:06These are little ones.
11:08For inner city girl Stacey,
11:10drafting sheep is a real change from her usual morning routine.
11:15Hang on.
11:16Or, or.
11:16Little one.
11:17I'm a city girl.
11:18I like my shopping.
11:19I like to have everything at my doorstep.
11:21My latte, 7 o'clock every morning.
11:23Normally another one by about 10.30.
11:26Little ones?
11:26Little ones.
11:27Little ones.
11:27Big ones.
11:28And adapting to life here on Damien's farm could take a while.
11:32Big one.
11:33That's a big one.
11:34Go in that way.
11:35Little one.
11:35Little one.
11:35Oh, hang on.
11:36I'm not doing a good job.
11:38They've all gone the wrong way than the wrong one.
11:40Hang on, hang on, hang on.
11:41That's a little one.
11:42Woohoo!
11:43Big one.
11:43I certainly made an impression, I think, but not necessarily a good one.
11:47Please stop kicking.
11:49Ow!
11:50Look at my arms!
11:51I just got scratched by a lamb.
11:56Here in the foothills of the snowy mountains lies the property of our first female farmer.
12:04And with three guys coming to stay, Jenny's feeling the pressure.
12:09I've been really worried, I guess, thinking, oh, do I really know these three guys enough to have them come
12:15to my place and stay?
12:18A year ago, Jenny broke up from a long-term relationship.
12:22And the decision to put her heart on the line again hasn't been easy.
12:27I don't want to waste another five years of my life in a relationship that's wrong.
12:33But it's too late for second thoughts now, because two of Jenny's blokes are already on their way.
12:39And wild horses couldn't hold these boys back.
12:43So this could be someone's hometown, eh?
12:45Hey.
12:46I'm hoping it's going to be me.
12:52Yeah, there's Jenny.
12:53On the driver's side and all.
12:55No, that's not fair.
12:59Jenny, how are you?
13:01Welcome, thank you so much for coming.
13:04Good to see you.
13:06Jenny's first bloke, Stephen, admits he's not the type to make the first move.
13:12It's difficult to get out and meet girls, I suppose, because I don't like to approach them, you know.
13:16You never know who's got the boyfriend and who hasn't.
13:19So you just sort of leave them to it.
13:22Stephen might not be the competitive type, but Explosives manufacturer Andrew is.
13:28Can't come out here empty-handed.
13:30Oh, they're beautiful.
13:33They're lovely.
13:34Oh.
13:36How about a good luck kiss before you go down, Jen?
13:39At the group date, he stole a kiss from Farmer Jenny.
13:42Now he's hoping to steal her heart.
13:45The flowers giving me an edge.
13:47I don't know.
13:48Hopefully.
13:50Nice little touch, anyway.
13:53But Andrew's nice little touch is about to be trumped by his main rival, Owen.
13:59He's bringing a surprise so big it fills a truck.
14:05Here he comes, Jen.
14:07Oh, goodness me.
14:07It looks like he's moving in.
14:09Yeah, he's got all the furniture ready to go.
14:11Oh, no!
14:12He's not going anywhere.
14:13Oh, my goodness.
14:14I thought, what on earth has he got in the payback truck?
14:17Hello.
14:18How are you?
14:19Good.
14:20Thanks for coming.
14:21Thanks for having me.
14:22Good to see you.
14:22Owen's a country boy from up the road in Hardin.
14:26At the speed dates, he made an instant impression on Farmer Jenny.
14:31Oh, gosh.
14:32She is so nice.
14:35What's in the truck?
14:37Surprised.
14:38Seeing Jenny today, that was fantastic.
14:40Why would you want to see Jenny?
14:42You know, like, you know, she's just a fantastic girl.
14:45Trees.
14:46Farm trees.
14:47I think Jenny was excited to see him, too.
14:49I wasn't.
14:49I think he should have just missed the turn off and kept going.
14:51But he's here now.
14:53No, he's all right.
14:56Nice of him to think of bringing his own horse, and that'll be good.
15:00Hopefully when I have a ride.
15:02This is Mirage.
15:03Oh, he's lovely.
15:04Hey.
15:05In the race for Jenny's heart, Owen might just be ahead by a nose.
15:12In South Australia, Andrew's girls are also about to get their first taste of farm work.
15:18What we're doing today now is we're going to be checking out the boys,
15:20making sure they're ready for the season.
15:23Hey, Sacha, how are you?
15:24Good, how are you?
15:24Good.
15:24At the speed dates, Andrew made one thing clear.
15:27How would you handle the blood and guards?
15:29Um, not too good.
15:31Now, if there was a girl that didn't want to work on the farm,
15:34I'll probably give her the boot.
15:36What we're going to do, girls, we're just going to kneel down,
15:39and we're just going to grab the bag, sort of run your hands down,
15:43and make sure there's no lesions or lumps.
15:46I did feel a little awkward.
15:48I felt awkward for the ram.
15:50I mean, imagine having someone fill your testicles.
15:53All righty.
15:53Who's up?
15:57It's just one of those things that you've got to do,
15:59and it's all part and parcel of the breeding programming.
16:01So you're just up the top.
16:03First to take up the challenge is Sunshine Coast accountant Ashley.
16:07Lay down the outside of the purse.
16:10I'm definitely out there to prove the stereotypical boring accountant wrong,
16:13because we're not all boring.
16:16All righty, no, he seems quite smooth.
16:19Yeah, he's all right.
16:19He's all right.
16:20That's good.
16:21That's what we want.
16:22Ashley did quite well.
16:23The ability that she showed was very appealing.
16:26Who's up?
16:27I'll do it.
16:28Single mum Mari's not about to let Ashley upstage her at anything.
16:32Look tight, just run them down slowly,
16:34and you'll feel if there's any lumps.
16:37It's for their benefit,
16:38so just checking them out
16:41and making sure the little boys and their balls are OK.
16:46We'll get one more.
16:48Then it's safety officer Jessica's turn.
16:51How are you going?
16:51Yeah, good, thanks.
16:52She was Andrew's favourite at the speed dates.
16:55When I initially saw Jessica,
16:56she had a great smile and really hit it off, I thought.
17:00So how do you reckon you go with a bit of blood and guts?
17:02No, I'm pretty good.
17:03He's a total handsome when we're younger.
17:05Oh, you'd be very handy then.
17:06He's all right.
17:07And now it's Jess's chance to prove just how handy she is.
17:11Slide them down the outside, no squeezing.
17:14Playing with ram's testicles is not one of my biggest things.
17:17I'd never do it again, I don't think.
17:18Yeah.
17:19Yeah.
17:19Yeah.
17:20All right.
17:21Poor little sheep.
17:27On Paul's farm, Narina and Bridie have been joined by Wagga hairdresser, Berenice.
17:35Like the other two ladies, she's already smitten by farmer Paul.
17:40Everyone can see what's nice about Macca.
17:43He's sweet and old-fashioned and charming.
17:48But there's nothing charming about the first task Paul's set for his girl.
17:53He's been a bloody.
17:55It's a pretty daunting task to have to stick your hand up a cow's backside to detect whether
18:01she's in calf or not in calf.
18:03It's just something we need to do.
18:05No, he's going to worry.
18:06Put just a bit of lube around there.
18:07Wool classer Narina wants to prove she'll give anything a go.
18:12And then just straight in.
18:14In a bundle.
18:17I was glad she went first because, yeah, I wasn't going to be the first volunteer.
18:22All right, just push straight in.
18:25All right, now you want to be feeling down, like down long.
18:31Oh, yeah?
18:32Yeah?
18:32Yeah.
18:33For sure.
18:34Yeah.
18:34She's in?
18:35She's in.
18:36First diagnosis.
18:38All right, that's one done.
18:40Jeez, that's firm.
18:41When I pulled my hand out, it was just revolting.
18:44I thought I was going to throw up.
18:46Oh, this is bizarre.
18:47Yuck.
18:48I'm about to gag.
18:50I wonder if this is what farmer Paul actually wants.
18:52He wants his wife to do.
18:54You know, does he like his women smelling like cow crap?
18:58Nervous?
18:59Former bar manager Bridie doesn't hesitate either.
19:02It's all good?
19:03Finding something different?
19:05New experience?
19:06Yep.
19:07Straight in.
19:08Off we go.
19:09And push in.
19:10That's it.
19:11Okay.
19:11That's it.
19:11Push forward.
19:12And it was just amazing.
19:14Like, it's so surreal.
19:16Feeling she's pregnant, isn't she?
19:18Yeah.
19:19Well, I think she is.
19:20Feels pretty mushy in there.
19:23Oh, no.
19:24That's just...
19:25That actually makes me queasy.
19:27I'm like, ooh.
19:27Well done, Bridie.
19:29That only leaves one girl yet to prove herself.
19:32Fair enough.
19:33Go on, Barb.
19:35No, I'm going to pass.
19:36You're going to pass?
19:37Don't send me home, please.
19:38But, oh, my gosh.
19:39That's fine.
19:40I bring him smoker in the paddock.
19:41I'll plough the fields.
19:42I'll clean the troughs.
19:44But I just...
19:45Mmm.
19:46Something about a cow's butt.
19:47Yuck.
19:49All right, we'll do a few more.
19:51With just three days to impress,
19:54Berenice is not off to a good start.
20:00Steady up.
20:01Today, some of our visitors are setting foot on a farm
20:04for the very first time.
20:06You're the one that said,
20:07go, go, go, go, go, go,
20:09and then, because you shouldn't have stopped.
20:10Ha, ha, ha, ha.
20:11Hey, hey, hey.
20:13It's like a sea of sheep.
20:15But on Tim's farm...
20:16Oh, that was a good one.
20:17Did you see that?
20:18..country physiotherapist Tamara is in her element.
20:23She's spent plenty of time on farms before
20:25and is hoping Tim will notice.
20:29I love country living.
20:30This will work really well till I get to where the sheep are.
20:32Maybe he just hasn't found the right country girl yet
20:34and maybe that could be me.
20:38What is that?
20:39That's a sheep's tail.
20:40I'll buy this one.
20:41But Tim's other two guests are the total opposite.
20:44Are you serious?
20:46Are you serious?
20:49I didn't know she's tail fell off.
20:52Riley and Catherine are true city girls.
20:55The thing that shocked me most about today
20:57was that the tails come off the sheep.
21:00I thought they just grew like that.
21:03Are you serious?
21:04You just pull the tail off?
21:05Didn't you see him doing it?
21:06You just hold on to it and yank you.
21:08Oh, my God.
21:09It was a real eye-opener.
21:12Who knew you could pull a tail off a sheep?
21:15But apparently you can.
21:17I don't even know what to make of that.
21:19Tim's seriously doubting whether Riley and Catherine
21:22could survive 10 days out here,
21:25let alone a lifetime.
21:27They just didn't comprehend how everything flowed on, I think.
21:32I've had kids in the yards and they had more idea.
21:36Good boy!
21:43The first day on the farm is drawing to an end.
21:47In South Australia, farmer Andrew is preparing dinner.
21:51I'm cooking some kangaroo for them tonight,
21:53so I hope they like it.
21:56While in the bedroom, his girls are unpacking.
21:59Oh, my God, how many money pants and shoes did you bring?
22:02And for Sunshine Coast accountant Ashley, it's a big job.
22:06I might have overpacked,
22:08but I really could justify every shoe when I packed it.
22:12I can explain them.
22:14Cute, casual...
22:17hooker.
22:17But Ashley's city girl extravagance
22:20is a little too much for single mum, Mari.
22:24Mate, we're only visiting sheep.
22:26How many pairs of shoes are you going to need?
22:28The shoes I arrived in,
22:31after-shower shoes,
22:33cute flats, slippers,
22:34and two pairs of runners.
22:36Oh, my God!
22:37Definitely have seen the city girl naivety.
22:41Yes.
22:42What did you bring, Mari?
22:43A pair of boots and some thongs.
22:45She doesn't know better.
22:47She's never been on a farm to start off with,
22:50so, yeah, she's...
22:52That's what she's like.
22:54That's her.
22:58Across the country tonight...
23:00I wonder what he's cooking.
23:01..our farmers are all hoping to impress their visitors
23:04with good old-fashioned country hospitality.
23:08There's fresh Tassie salmon at Farmer Damien's.
23:11A bit of fish, a bit of salad, a bit of cheese.
23:14Nothing too complicated.
23:15It's all right.
23:17And roast lamb at Farmer Paul's.
23:19Oh, everything's good.
23:23They're all single mothers,
23:24and they'd have to prepare dinners every night for their children.
23:27I thought, well, tonight is their night.
23:30I'll look after them.
23:31Thank you very much for coming.
23:32Cheers.
23:33Thank you for dinner.
23:36But not all our farmers' dinners will be a success.
23:40We're having a mushroom risotto.
23:43Oh, no, f*** that.
23:45Probably f*** the pot as well.
23:56Meanwhile, expectations are high on Jenny's farm.
24:00It'd be good to get Jenny to cook tea,
24:03see whether she's a good cook or not.
24:06But Jenny's got bad news for her hungry blokes.
24:10Frozen lasagna.
24:12Dinner could be a long time coming.
24:15Forgot to put the lasagna out to defrost,
24:18so we've got a frozen lasagna for dinner.
24:20All right, I'm going home.
24:24All right, sleep tight.
24:25At farms across the nation, it's getting late.
24:29Night, Noreena.
24:30Thank you for today.
24:30But while most are being tucked into bed,
24:33on Jenny's farm,
24:36and at Tim's,
24:37they're only just tucking into the main course.
24:41It always deserves an applause.
24:43It's so awesome.
24:45Let's hope these two farmers move quicker in courtship
24:49than they do in the kitchen.
24:52Great to have you on the farm.
24:53Good job.
24:57A new day is beginning in the outback.
25:03In Tumbarumba,
25:05Jenny's eager to put her newly arrived manpower to work.
25:09Everyone but one's an early ride.
25:12But not everyone's ready for six o'clock roll call.
25:17Come on, beautiful.
25:19City boy Stephen has slept in.
25:22I know as much beauty sleeve as I can get,
25:24so I'll take whatever I can get.
25:30With Stephen finally up and at him,
25:32Jenny's got three blokes to lend a hand in some cattle work.
25:36Guys, there's a few that are missing e-tags.
25:40So we just have to note down what tags they're missing
25:44and we'll re-tag them.
25:47Country boys Andrew and Owen are quick to get involved.
25:53But Stephen looks like he's wishing he stayed in bed.
25:57I was happy to take a back step and let Andrew and Owen do a bit more.
26:01Can't stir the cows up too much.
26:03They're both the same.
26:04Stephen really likes Jenny.
26:06I reckon Jenny's an awesome girl, you know, and anyone would be glad to have her.
26:11But his laid back approach might not be the way to her heart.
26:16Stephen's obviously a very smart guy, but I think the pressure of perhaps maybe two other suitors,
26:23whatever you want to call them.
26:25But, yeah, I think all of that perhaps makes it hard for him.
26:30The day has barely begun and that's two strikes for Stephen already.
26:38While the other farmers are giving everyone an equal chance on the farm,
26:42it's a different story in Western Australia.
26:49Ralph's taken horse trainer Siri out alone to muster some cattle.
26:54Come on.
26:57I just want to have a bit of fun with her and, yeah, just get to know her a bit
27:02more.
27:04But back at the house...
27:06There's a lot of times when it's just Siri and himself.
27:10Ralph's other two girls, Meryn and Courtney, are feeling left out.
27:14Things that we can...we could have helped muster this morning.
27:16Yeah, it would have been fun.
27:17Or just to teach us how it works.
27:20Yeah.
27:20I know he's in a hard position, but he does need to share his time equally.
27:27So, anyway.
27:29At 29, Meryn has a few years on the other two girls.
27:34She's not going to sit back and watch her chance for love slip away.
27:38I'm not a jealous person, but I just think it needs to be balanced with all of us.
27:42Because, you know, we've all come here on equal terms and we need to have that equal time
27:47to share with him.
27:48I suppose it won't hurt to say something.
27:51Nah.
27:51It's better to be up front now and say something than go home with regret that we didn't try
27:57harder to, you know, fix the situation.
28:02It's better work.
28:03Yeah.
28:03If the girls are upset already, just wait till they find out what Ralph and Siri are getting
28:09up to now.
28:11We're skiing behind the horse.
28:14We haven't done it before, so, yeah.
28:17See how it goes.
28:19Yeah!
28:20Woo!
28:23It's a jump!
28:35It was lots of fun.
28:36I think the more time I spend with Ralph, the more I kind of can just see myself being
28:41with him.
28:42Yeah, he's just perfect, everything I look for, really.
28:45There might be trouble back home, but at least Siri is falling for Ralph.
28:49I know you need a...
28:51Woo!
28:56On Paul's farm...
28:58Is it like one to the train, one for me?
29:00That's where it goes?
29:01Bridie and Berenice are enjoying each other's company.
29:04Your legs are fantastic.
29:07But meanwhile, the man whose heart they hope to win is out on a date with wool classer
29:14Noreena.
29:17Are you nervous?
29:18Yeah.
29:19I'm really nervous, actually.
29:20Oh, yeah?
29:21Yeah, I'm all goo-goo-ga-ga, actually.
29:24Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah.
29:25See you later.
29:25Noreena's made Paul's heart flutter since they first met at the speed dates.
29:31Wow.
29:32That Noreena is knee-shaking, earth-trembling, fireworks-going-off type of girl.
29:40And then at the group dates...
29:41Sure, plant one on me.
29:44...Paul couldn't resist sneaking a kiss.
29:47Why are you nervous?
29:48I don't know.
29:49I don't know.
29:49You just...
29:50You sort of make me nervous a bit.
29:53Noreena?
29:54I'm smitten by her.
29:55I really am.
29:57She's amazing.
29:58She's one of the most amazing girls I've ever met, actually.
30:01But Paul's been hurt in love before, and today he's promised himself he'll take it slow.
30:09I made a vow to myself that I wasn't going to pay more attention to one than another, so I'm
30:15sort of just going to tread lightly, not step in boots and all, which I usually do.
30:20Do you think you could ever live here?
30:23Yeah, definitely.
30:25Yeah?
30:25Yeah, of course.
30:26Oh, wow.
30:28Wherever you lived, that's where I'd like to be.
30:31Really?
30:32Yep.
30:32Wow.
30:35I'm dead set, gobsmacked.
30:53It was terrific having a kiss today.
30:56I enjoyed every moment.
30:59Mmm.
31:00Yeah, it makes my heart flutter.
31:02It seems, when it comes to Noreena, this hopeless romantic just can't help himself.
31:09Good to steal a kiss, and I want to steal many more, many more.
31:15I want to kiss those lips forever.
31:17Definitely.
31:19You're beautiful.
31:20You really are.
31:22Thank you, so are you.
31:24I'm overwhelmed, and I don't know what it is, but there's not just a click there, there's
31:30a kaboom.
31:31It's a bit like those, isn't it?
31:34It's not normal.
31:45Lovely day.
31:47Our city singles are settling in to the gentle rhythms of life on the farm.
31:52Good day for a job.
31:55But tomorrow, our farmers will have to send one of their dates home.
31:59How's your worm holding up?
32:01No takers so far.
32:05So they're making time to get to know each of them one-on-one.
32:09I love that merino.
32:11When I saw him, I thought, oh, that's exactly what a ram looks like.
32:13I saw you.
32:14Big, manly, and tough.
32:15How I like all my men.
32:23In Malwala, Tim's off to the shearing shed with dance teacher, Rylee.
32:31Righto, Riley, we're going to have you crutching a few sheep today.
32:34Alright, sounds like a plan. Don't know what that is, but I'll do it.
32:37Very nice to meet you.
32:39The first moment he laid eyes on Riley, Tim was struck by her good looks.
32:45Yeah, she's definitely one of the prettiest girls I've seen before.
32:48Are you serious?
32:50But so far on the farm, she's been clueless.
32:54I got one! I caught me a sheep!
32:59Riley's good fun, but I don't know if she's really cut out to go on the farm.
33:06So Tim's throwing her right in the deep end.
33:09Stand over and go right down there.
33:12That's right.
33:13I've never done it before, so I love to try new and different things.
33:19That's right. Good.
33:23She's definitely full of surprises.
33:25Very keen to get in and have a go.
33:28She doesn't hold back on anything.
33:31Look at that.
33:33And she's lit. She's hot, I suppose.
33:38So, literally, it's like sliding that way and back that way.
33:42Now that Riley's mastered farm work, it's time for her to teach Tim a few things.
33:48Is that right?
33:50That's...that's...good.
33:51Yeah, she's a great teacher and looks like she'll be a bloody good dancer, I reckon.
33:55Turning arms in, head stays there, and forget around.
34:00Good! That was good! Yay!
34:03Do that.
34:06Back in Western Australia, Ralph's returned home and Meryn wants to get something off her chest.
34:15What's up?
34:17Ralph's just spent most of the day out with horse trainer Siri.
34:22And with the elimination less than 24 hours away, Meryn's worried Ralph's not giving her a fair go.
34:30I just thought I would grab you quickly.
34:33But in confronting Ralph, Meryn knows she's taking a huge gamble.
34:37It's probably not the best position that we're in at the moment, Courtney and I.
34:42We're just finding it very hard that Siri obviously has a...
34:47You know, you're very close with each other, with the horses, and you've got that connection there.
34:51But she's obviously in her comfort zone, which means that she excels in it.
34:56And we are trying very hard just to get to know you.
35:01By the end of the day, like, you know, for who I want to be with doesn't necessarily have to
35:07be, you know, the best horse trainer or the best horse rider.
35:09I understand that.
35:10But she needs to be taken out of her comfort zone too, because we are out of ours.
35:14Yeah.
35:15Meryn was quite upset, which I don't like seeing her upset at all.
35:21But, yeah, I just didn't see it as such a big thing.
35:27Meryn's had her say.
35:29It's all good.
35:30But has she blown her chances with Ralph in the process?
35:34There are feelings here that, you know, could be hurt.
35:38That's just all in the name of love, I suppose.
35:42You're not crying, are you?
35:48Meanwhile, over in Tumbarumba...
35:50Yeah, so this is the local.
35:51Farmer Jenny is going on a good old-fashioned date with explosives expert Andrew.
35:58How about a good luck kiss before you go down, Jen?
36:01Andrew's a bit of a charmer.
36:03He stole a kiss from Farmer Jenny at the group date.
36:06Now he's hoping to steal her heart.
36:09Yeah, I do hopefully see a bit of a future between Jenny and I.
36:14I think that definitely something could work.
36:18And to prove it to Jenny, this Queenslander has even sorted out a house nearby.
36:24Good friends of my sister have offered me a house just out of Tumbarumba.
36:29I'm only 30km.
36:31And they said, come down and stay in the house while you fall in love with Jenny.
36:37I was really shocked.
36:39Farmer Jenny is quick to bring Andrew back down to earth.
36:43This was, like, really fast.
36:47My goodness.
36:49Wow.
36:50So I've got the house all and I need to find out is a job.
36:52Goodness me, that's a bit serious.
36:56We've had, like, 12 hours, not even that together.
37:00And I thought, what?
37:01What?
37:02Am I?
37:03What's going on?
37:05Looks like Jenny wants to put the brakes on fast-moving Andrew.
37:14It's the afternoon of the second day on the farm.
37:18And our farmers have a big decision on the horizon.
37:22Hello, ladies. How are we all?
37:24Yesterday, they welcomed three potential partners to their farms.
37:28Hi, Simon.
37:29But tomorrow, each farmer will be sending one of their guests home.
37:35Everyone wants to make an impression on their farmer.
37:39In the thing.
37:41And in Western Australia, Merrin is finally about to get her chance.
37:47Earlier, Merrin confronted Ralph about spending too much time with Siri.
37:52She needs to be taken out of her comfort zone too,
37:54because we are out of ours.
37:56And Ralph might just have listened,
37:58because now he's given Merrin just what she wanted,
38:02some time one-on-one.
38:04Can you put the picnic rug out?
38:07Aww.
38:10This is tacky.
38:13But fun.
38:14Is that pain?
38:15I think so.
38:18I really like Merrin.
38:19I think she's just an amazing, great person,
38:22and she's just so genuine.
38:24But it must feel weird that we're just all sort of intruded on your home territory.
38:29No, it's good. I mean, it's an empty house without you, so...
38:31I just want to get to know everyone before, you know,
38:35I'm going to hold myself off from, you know, trying to show one more...
38:41Yeah.
38:41Well, that's the way I feel at the moment.
38:43He does make my heart flutter.
38:46If he makes eye contact with me or something like that,
38:48I do, you know, get the little shiver up my spine.
38:53Look at you. Don't fall over.
38:55Here you go.
38:55You're going in the dam.
38:58Left hand, green.
39:04Did you fall?
39:06I did. I fell.
39:07I'll keep...
39:07You've got to go in.
39:09No, you'll come too.
39:21That would have been.
39:23Merrin and Ralph's date has taken an unexpected turn.
39:28And now it's Courtney and Siri who are feeling left out.
39:31The girls had been waiting quite a while.
39:34What happened to you?
39:35And, um, just sense there was our knees there.
39:39Yeah, certainly didn't intend for that to happen.
39:46But when the flirting continues,
39:48Siri and Courtney decide enough's enough.
39:54In the dying moments before Elimination Day,
39:58has Merrin swooped in and stolen Ralph's heart?
40:06The outback is welcoming a new dawn.
40:10But in the hearts of our farmers,
40:12today's chorus is striking a melancholy note.
40:16It's Elimination Day.
40:18Yeah, this is the worst part of the whole thing,
40:20having to ask one of the girls to go home.
40:24Before the sun sets,
40:25they'll each be sending one of their guests home.
40:29I think there's a bit of apprehension.
40:30Like, I don't think anyone knows what's going to happen.
40:34I hope I'm staying, but am I confident?
40:37I don't know.
40:38It's just really going to be hard to...
40:40Just hard to go, but it is my turn.
40:43This is a gamble for love
40:45that not everyone can win.
40:52I don't want the yet!
40:55This is a gamble for love and hope.
40:56Is it not one of my best?
40:58I don't want love with me!
40:59This is how it will help you.
