Farmer Wants a Wife Star Collapses After Rejection

The series premiere of  got off to a rocky start on Monday night, after one of the contestants fainted on the show following a brutal rejection.

The shock incident occurred when Farmer Jason chose the five women he would be taking to his farm to get to know better, which meant that Bene and Britt missed out.

At first, Bene appeared to take the news well, telling Jason, 'Thank you for having us', but as she leaned on Britt's shoulder for support, she abruptly collapsed to the ground.

Moments after the shock fall, Farmer Jason, series co-host Natalie Gruzlewski and several medics quickly rushed to Bene's aid, with the fallen woman joking on-camera that she did not take rejection well.

She has now spoken out about what really happened, revealing that a combination of overwhelming emotions and fatigue got the better of her.

'I remember starting to get that tunnel vision and that whooshing sound, and I was like, 'Oh no, I'm not about to faint!' I remember changing my stance to standing on both feet to try and balance,' Bene told Chattr.

'That was when I stumbled and grabbed Brittany. I just remember being like, 'Oh, I'm going down!' There was so much going through my mind. You see 10 minutes of my journey on the episode, but what you don't see is the months leading up to that.

'Submitting an application, doing a video interview, having an audition, meeting the producers, taking time off work, organising care for my daughter.' 

She added that once she realised Jason hadn't picked her she was so overcome by emotion that her balance was briefly affected.

'Suddenly you're standing there and it's literally all in someone else's hands. What's gonna happen next? I think I was so overwhelmed by it all, but as soon as he chose the fifth girl to go back to the farm, I clocked it wasn't me,' she said.

'It's like my brain was so disappointed, but my body stopped running on adrenaline, and I think it just hit me like a freight train. I did say Farmer Jason made me weak at the knees, and just also physically affected me!

'There were no medical issues or anything... it was a really long day, I think the Spanx were too tight.'

Bene added that the crew offered to take her to the hospital but she declined, insisting she was feeling better.

'They gave me all of those options, and I insisted that I was fine,' she said.
