On Sunday night, the drama went up to a new level when it was revealed that one of Farmer Harry’s girls Karlana has found a connection with a crew member.

What’s more, Farmer Neil had his own share of problems when conflicts arose between himself, Justine and Karissa, the latter of whom even threatened to leave to show. 

However fans weren’t impressed by the manufactured drama and took to Twitter to voice their complaints.

Fans remarked that Sunday night’s episode resembled a MAFS dinner party more than the old FWAW format and pleaded the network to not go down the same road.

“This is not how #FarmerAU used to be, too much drama with the producers filing them with alcohol! Bring back the old set up @Channel7 Trying to be too much like #MAFS,” one fan wrote.

“Don’t like the MAFS vibes I’m getting from #FarmerAU tonight. The reason I watch it because it hasn’t been as trashy as some of the other shows. Please keep it that way @Channel7,” another penned.

“Hopefully nobody pours red wine over another,” another remarked, referring to the final MAFS dinner party of 2019 when contestant Martha Kalifatidis tipped a glass of red wine on her co-star Cyrell Paule’s head.

Even the farmers weighed in on how out of hand things got during Sunday night’s episode.

Farmer Neil shared a series of stills from the episode – many of which featured him deep in conversation with the ladies vying for his heart.

Needless to say… it was a very quiet trip home,” he joked in the caption.

Meanwhile Farmer Harry shared a snap of himself drinking a beer with his girls watching him along with the caption: “Sums up last night pretty well!”

In a previous chat with New Idea, Farmer Harry confessed that he had reservations about going on the show in the first place. 

“My sisters were all worried – they didn’t want me to be portrayed in a different way to what I am,” he said.

“You don’t know what to expect going into something like this, so that was the worry. It was definitely a different experience, but it was good.”
