REAL REALITY - FARMER WANTS A WIFE - SAMANTHA ARMYTAGE

Hi Guys, welcome back to TV Reload. Thank you for clicking or downloading on today’s episode with Samantha Armatige. The host of Farmer Wants a Wife 2024 which starts on Sunday night at 7:30 on Channel on Seven. Samantha Armytage is an Australian journalist and television presenter. Sam was previously co-host of the Seven Network's breakfast television program Sunrise from 2013 to 2021 alongside David Koch. Only a few years ago Samantha was slowly integrated into the much loved reality series and last year her inclusion as full time host saw the show rise 16% in its category.  This season thousands of eligible women from all around Australia applied to meet our farmers and after a series of speed dates in the Hunter Valley, the farmers will choose their top five ladies to invite back to the farm. The ladies will be shown the lay of the land, participate in farm work and go on a series of spectacular dates before the farmers determine if there is enough chemistry to spark a lifelong connection. During the first two episodes, the five farmers for the 2024 season — Bert, Dean, Dustin, Joe and Tom — must choose five out of their eight ladies to return to their farms across Australia. This leaves a total of 15 women, who had been hoping to find love, having to head home before their farmer journey can properly begin. It is pretty brutal but I know you guys will love it. Samantha reveals her thoughts about the media landscape and if she has closed the door on her journalistic career.  We will unpack the new Farmers and find out of the Victoria Framer Tom is too young to be looking for a wife? You will get some interesting insights into Samatha’s move out of Sydney and what she thinks of the workforce for women in a post covid world.  I am also delighted to hear what Samantha thinks of me pitching Farmer Dave from Big Brother and if it is time we see a queer farmer?  There is so much to unpack with Samantha. So sit back and relax as we unpack the world of Farmer Wants a Wife?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
