Farmer Seeks Wife is in full swing and during the week when the third episode of the season airs, viewers will get to see which letter writers the farmers choose for their dating summer.
This year, there are a number of new things on the agenda in the long-distance driver. Among other things, the farmers will be invited with a letter writer to go on an overnight date. Something that some of them will find difficult because it risks creating great disappointment among the remaining letter writers.

Already in the first two episodes, feelings have sprouted and chemistry has arisen.
Something that is also relatively new is that Farmer looking for a wife now has “love guards” or yes… sex guards. This after an incident that took place in 2016 then Erik Bäckman and Sigrid Bergåkra spent a night together at the castle after dining and drinking wine with the rest of the peasants.

– Of course, we could have cut this whole piece out and tried to keep it a secret, but then you can also wonder why. Should we who make a program about finding love and at the same time start censoring ourselves when it doesn’t turn out exactly as we thought, said Linda Lindorff at the time.
– I understand that there will be many opinions about this and everyone has the right to think what they want. But what our farmers felt was not just temporary lust. They felt chemistry, they felt attraction and they felt love, she concluded.

But this year, other buns prevail.
“After this year, we have put in something we call love guardians. Of course, there is nothing more important and greater than love and whatever it looks like, it’s good, it’s just a matter of keeping up with the swings and in our case, trying to tell about what happens, whatever it may be…”, she concludes.
Every year, farmers out in the country have the chance to apply to Farmer seeks a wife. But it also happens that the production itself gets wind of some.
One of them is the Paradise Hotel profile Mattias Helen. We have previously seen Mattias in Svenska truckers and Paradise Hotel and this year he is in Paradise Hotel for the second time.

When News24 talking to Mattias, he says that he has been asked to be part of Bonde seeks a wife, but that he has so far said no.
– They have actually called several times. But yes… I don’t know, I don’t have my own farm, I just drive cattle with the truck. My parents have a farm and apparently it wasn’t so important whose it was. So I don’t think it would have mattered.
– But you have to stand up, don’t you?
– No, but I feel now… that in five years maybe? It’s still there. I know a lot of people who are there, but for my own part, I’m waiting a bit, he says.
Mattias also has a past with the scandal-ridden Paulina “Paow” Danielsson as the couple previously dated and are now friends.

– I guess we don’t hear each other very much anymore. It can be like months and like… yes, but a year and suddenly she appears like the old man in the box, concludes Mattias.
