Farmer Wants a Wife: Contestant Bios and Pics!

Farmer Wants a WifeFarmer Wants a Wife is coming in a few weeks -- the premiere is April 30, if you're waiting with bated breath -- and The CW has just released bios of the farmer and his aspiring wives. The women's interests are about as urban as possible (think gallery-hopping, spa-going, and musical-attending), while Farmer Matt prefers deer hunting and tending to his crops of soybeans. Gee, think there'll be a culture clash? Check out pics of the women (the farmer remains a mystery) and tell us, even if you do plan on watching this show, would you ever admit to it?

Farmer Wants a Wife Premieres April 30th

Wondering what's going to replace the girls of Girlicious when the latest PCD reality show finishes up in April? Well, wonder no more -- The CW has announced that Farmer Wants a Wife, the city-gals-meet-country-man reality show with a very self-explanatory title, will premiere on April 30 after Top Model. From The CW's press release:

Will love bloom when country boy meets city girl? This farmer is about to find out. The show’s producers searched the nation to select a group of 10 women who have had it with bad dates in the big city and are open to making a big change. These women are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and are willing to find out whether a country man with hometown values might offer a more romantic and rewarding lifestyle.

Apparently the ladies will have to try their hand at farm chores to see if they can handle country life with their farmer man. Challenges include driving a tractor, taking care of very large farm animals and attending bingo night (um, whoever gets to go to bingo night totally gets off easy. How does that compare to milking a potentially angry cow or feeding a stubborn horse!?).

This show has trainwreck potential, but it could be one of those so-bad-it's-good shows (i.e. Crowned). We're witholding judgment until we see previews... but what about you? Will you be watching Farmer Wants a Wife? And those of you from outside the US -- have you seen this show in your country yet? How was it? Share in the comments!
