Who Does Landon Pick On Farmer Wants A Wife?

Landon picks Ashley R. and Ashley L. as his final two women in Episode 9 of Farmer Wants a Wife. The episode aired on May 3 on Fox.

In the previous episode titled “Is There Room for One More?” farmers went on their final dates with the women, they chose at the end of the bard dance in week seven in Tallahassee, FL.

In Oklahoma, Heaton takes Zoe on her first solo date. He spritzes himself with cologne and takes her to check the crops before the date. He then shows her some seeds before going to an ATV for lunch.

She tells the rancher she hasn’t dated since her divorce. And although Heaton says she is gorgeous, they don’t seem to have any chemistry.

Surprisingly, Meghan returns to Hunter’s homestead after her grandfather’s funeral. The farmer is thrilled but the other ladies don’t seem to be happy, after all, she was the front-runner.

At the end of the eighth episode, Hunter and Heaton are left to make their eliminations to get to the final two women.

Heaton had three hopefuls -Zoe, Ashley L., and Ashley R. He did tell Ashley R. that he was going to choose her as one of the people and going to meet his daughter. So a little bit of a decision was made in Episode 8.

In Episode 9, the rancher asks Zoe Weaver to leave with a heavy heart. “Unfortunately, I don’t think we’re at the same point in life,” he said to her.
