Drama unfolded on Sunday night’s episode of Farmer Wants a Wife when Farmer Dean received a text message about one of the contestants vying to win his love.
But it looks like some viewers have turned their backs on the Channel Seven show for allegedly veering too close to the drama-soaked Married At First Sight.
Fans took to social media to voice their dismay following recent episodes that hinted at a contestant having a secret boyfriend.
‘Do not turn this show into MAFS,’ begged one devoted viewer underneath an Instagram post teasing the drama.
Another disgruntled fan didn’t mince words, stating, ‘I’m going to turn off if this show starts to turn into something like MAFS. Don’t ruin a good show. There’s already enough trash on TV.’

This stark warning highlights a growing concern that the introduction of MAFS-like drama could tarnish the show’s reputation and alienate its core audience.
The controversy reached a boiling point when a viewer questioned the credibility of the secret boyfriend claim, pointing out an apparent plot hole.
‘This dobber happened to have the farmer’s phone number to send a text? Oh please don’t turn this show into a trash reality programme,’ another angry fan wrote.

It comes after Tiffany from Tom’s farm let slip that a text message scandal involving Teegan was being spoken about.
Tiffany then went directly to Dean to ask him if he had received a message and, if so, what the message was about.
‘Yep, yep, I received a message … and Teegan, it’s about you,’ he said awkwardly, turning to Teegan who was sitting directly beside him.
‘Can we see it?’ Tiffany asked, as Dean pulled out his phone to read the message.
Scandal erupted on Sunday’s episode of Farmer Wants A Wife. Farmer Dean (pictured) was forced to confront his love interest Teegan after he received a bombshell anonymous text
It read: ‘I hope you see this in time. But Teegan, who you are currently filming Farmer Wants A Wife with, has a boyfriend. She might be leading you on.’ The lovesick farmer went after her, the pair embracing and the unfortunate incident only bringing them closer together
‘It says, ‘I hope you see this in time, but Teegan has a boyfriend, she might be leading you on, she’s in love with someone at home’.
‘That’s the message I got. And it says…’
Dean didn’t have time to finish his sentence before Teegan got up and stormed off without saying a word, breaking down in tears.
‘It made me pretty upset seeing her crying,’ Dean admitted
