Farmer Wants A Wife fans slam show for ‘becoming Married At First Sight’ after secret boyfriend claims
The drama unfolded on Sunday night’s episode of Farmer Wants a Wife when Farmer Dean received a text message about one of the contestants competing to win his love.
But it seems some viewers have turned their backs on the Channel Seven show after reportedly getting too close to the drama-drenched Married At First Sight.
Fans took to social media to express their dismay after recent episodes suggested one contestant had a secret boyfriend.
“Don’t make this show MAFS,” one devoted viewer begged under an Instagram post teasing the drama.
Another disgruntled fan didn’t mince words, saying, “I’m going to quit if this show starts to become anything like MAFS.” Don’t ruin a good show. There’s enough rubbish on TV already.’

But it appears audiences have turned their backs on the Channel Seven show after reportedly getting too close to the drama-drenched Married At First Sight
The stark warning highlights a growing concern that the introduction of MAFS-style drama could tarnish the show’s reputation and alienate its core audience.
The controversy reached a boiling point when a viewer questioned the credibility of the secret boyfriend claim and pointed out an apparent plot hole.
“This float happened to have the farmer’s phone number to send a text message to? Oh please don’t turn this show into a trash reality show,” another angry fan wrote.

It comes after Tiffany from Tom’s farm revealed there was talk of a texting scandal involving Teegan.
Tiffany then went straight to Dean to ask him if he had received a message and if so, what the message was about.
“Yes, yes, I got a message… and Teegan, it’s about you,” he said awkwardly, turning to Teegan who was sitting directly next to him.
“Can we see it?” Tiffany asked as Dean pulled out his phone to read the message.
The scandal broke on Sunday’s episode of Farmer Wants A Wife. Farmer Dean (pictured) was forced to face his love interest Teegan after receiving an anonymous text message
It read: ‘I hope you see this in time. But Teegan, with whom you are currently filming Farmer Wants A Wife, has a boyfriend. Maybe she’ll lead you on.’ The farmer in love went after her, the couple hugged and the unfortunate incident only brought them closer together
‘It says, ‘I hope you see this in time, but Teegan has a boyfriend, she might lead you on, she’s in love with someone back home.’
‘That’s the message I got. And it says…’
Dean didn’t have time to finish his sentence before Teegan stood up and stormed off without saying a word, bursting into tears.
“It really upset me when I saw her crying,” Dean admitted
