Farmer Wants A Wife: Explosive Season Ahead!

is known as 's most wholesome dating show.

But this year's crop of country bachelors have hinted that viewers may be in for far more drama than expected this season.

Sitting with Daily Mail, the five farmers teased a season packed with 'catty' clashes, unexpected twists, awkward dating moments, and plenty of emotional curveballs as they search for The One.

While the men insisted they all signed up for the right reasons, they admitted that not every contestant arrived with the same intentions.

Asked whether anyone was there for the wrong reasons, Farmer Dylan was quick to insist: 'Not me personally. I was there absolutely for the right reasons.'

But when pressed on whether some of the women may have stirred the pot, he coyly admitted: 'Might have, but yeah, it's just one of those things, you gotta navigate it.'

'I think when you can kind of get a grip on their intentions then you're like, "Oh, righto",' he added.

And while FWAW has long been sold as the softer, more sincere alternative to shows like Married At First Sight and Love Island, the farmers made it clear that there will be no shortage of drama.

Farmer Jarrad admitted the men tried to avoid unnecessary conflict, but said that producers still threw plenty of unexpected twists their way.

'Drama sucks,' he said.

'We all try and stay clear of it as much as possible, but there were definitely a few curveballs that were chucked our way over the course of filming.'

Farmer Alex then jumped in with a blunt warning for viewers hoping for fireworks.

'For anyone that wants drama, don't worry, there's plenty of drama,' he said.

Dylan agreed, adding: 'There is plenty. You get a little bit of it.'

One of the biggest revelations came from Farmer Jason, who admitted tensions did flare between some of the women on his farm.

Asked whether he ever had to break up any fights, Jason said there were moments when the women became 'catty'.

'Yeah, I'd had some get catty on my farm,' he admitted.

Jason explained the unusual format of the show naturally created tensions, as the women were forced to live together while competing for the same farmer's attention.

'I think just being in that situation, it's not normal,' Jason said.

'You're sort of competing as well, and you don't really live with the people you're trying to obviously get the attention of the farmer.' 

'It's probably just an unusual situation.'

The farmers also admitted they were blindsided by how emotionally intense the experience became.

Jarrad said that the hardest part was trying to divide his time fairly between the women, while knowing he would eventually have to send some of them home.

'That's probably the hardest thing,' he said.

'I totally understand how difficult that would be, because you want to get to know the girls so you can make the right decision.'

'You're trying to find the right person you want to spend the rest of your life with. There's not actually a lot of time.

'You've got limited amount of dates. You're trying to spend your time out evenly to make the best decision.'

Alex agreed, adding: 'For every decision you make, you're hurting the other potential four or whatever you've got on your farm.'

'You've got to navigate it really carefully.'

There were also plenty of awkward moments as the farmers adjusted to dating with cameras following their every move.

Dylan confessed he was a 'nervous wreck' when filming began and that he struggled to navigate romantic moments while surrounded by crew.

'I found kissing really hard,' he admitted.

'If you lean in and it's not reciprocated, you look a bit silly and it's filmed.'

He added that viewers should expect to see uncomfortable moments play out on screen.

'I was awkward as it could get,' he admitted.

'You've got so many cameras in your face and then you're trying to talk to ladies. It's a horrible combination.

'I think there's going to be a few that come out.'

The men also teased that one of them may have fallen hard and fast.

During a cheeky game, the farmers were asked to point to the man who fell in love the quickest, with the group appearing to single out Alex.

When asked how it felt to be in love, Alex replied: 'You bet. Full of love.'

Meanwhile, Dylan was named by the group as the farmer most likely to take the title of the season's biggest heartbreaker.

Despite the drama, the farmers insisted viewers will still see genuine love stories unfold.

Asked whether audiences could expect a real romance, Dylan replied: 'Bloody oath. Absolutely.'

Jarrad added: 'All of us, we're there for the right reasons.

'At the start, obviously having cameras on you is quite nerve-wracking and scary. I've never done that before.

'But as the series went on and we got into it and got to know the girls better, we all relaxed a bit more.

'Hopefully people see us as who we are as the series goes on.'

The farmers also formed a close bond behind the scenes, with Alex revealing the group had stayed in touch long after filming wrapped.

'We're so blessed,' he said. 'This group, we've got so much chemistry and we've kept in touch the whole time.'

Dylan added that being able to debrief with the other farmers helped him cope with the pressure of filming.

'It's a foreign experience,' he admitted.  'When you can get everything off your chest with the other farmers, it's like a big weight off your back.'

Farmer Wants A Wife continues Monday at 7.30pm on Channel Seven and 7Plus.
