FINALLY!
Farmer Seeks Wife is finally up and running and as the first episode delivered.
Since I’m not hip on my Farmer evenings, I of course sat with lit pumpkin candles (embracing autumn you do too), ice cold cola zero in a wine glass and freshly popped butter popcorn at its best. Since I’ve seen all seasons except maybe two or three, I know without a doubt how the feeling at the first episode usually is.

How is it usually then?
Well, I sit constantly with a little tears in my eyes, thinking “awwww” when you see the humble, kind and a little lonely farmers tell me that they have a good life on their farm – but of course lack someone to share it with. One letter writer is usually sweeter than the other and even they are often a bit clumsy when it comes to dating, kissing, intimacy and love.

It is precisely the last bit that makes the show so incredible and so human as we are all truly equal under the dating sun of the sky. Dating is truly awful and we’ve all thought the same thing before heading off to some hidden bar to meet some hottie you’ve never met before, which is: Why the hell am I putting myself through this?
But – back to this year’s season and the first episode. It was something that struck me several times during the episode.
What the hell do people look like this year?
One is seriously prettier than the other. And for the good-looking people, the production has also matched the whole thing with extremely good-looking cutting, sound, lights, rubs and stubble.

Now beauty comes from the inside, personality is most important, getting MVG in math b is sexy and blah blah blah but I’ll be honest this year’s season is going to be a feast for the eyes as they seriously shot in a bunch of super puddings.
Let me give a couple of examples:

The rest of us can go to bed. Image source: TV4One of the year’s letter writers. I’ll leave it there. Image source: TV4 As said. The standard of this year’s letter writers is high. Image source: TV4 Princess Sofia? Oh no, it was the letter writer Ebba and three other puddings. Image source: TV4 A group of beautiful ladies waiting to go on a date with the western rider.

I don’t know if this was a conscious choice on the part of those casting for the program – no matter what, you don’t complain. Eye candy season is here.

As we all know, the beauty of Farmer Seeks Wife comes even with jealousy, broken hearts and lots of tears. But then I will think of a quote my humble, non-superficial…… and kind mother used to say:
“If you’re sad, you can at least be happy that you’re pretty.”
One can only hope that the puddings in this year’s season bring that with them.
