A farmer that needs some loving


I recently saw a commercial for another silly reality TV dating show. The plot involves a farmer finding a wife. Yee Haw, just what we need. Another dramatic reality love show.Only there will be no Joe Millionaire or suave guys with a Ferrari, just some guy navigating his way on a tractor through cowpies.

Although I won’t be watching Farmer Wants a Wife, I can probably guess the ridiculous plot. Some bored TV producer probably sat in his air conditioned office thinking there is a farmer somewhere named Bubba Ray or John Boy who can't find the time to get off his tractor to get himself some loving. An idea was instantly born.

Most likely there will an assorted bushel of superficial thin women with different backgrounds who will be pitted against each other for the love of Bubba/John Boy.

I am guessing there will be drama, fighting, and arguing over who is better suited to cook Bubba/John Boy up some scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast.

The script resembles Snow White and the seven dwarves. Only there are no dwarves, just divas. There probably won't be a prince either, just a toad with a straw hat.

I imagine the farmer will pick a wife and they will fall in love and she will learn how to milk a cow and feed chickens while he gains a new cook who will give him some loving. It's a win-win situation for everyone, except the viewer.
