Farmer Wants a Punch in the Face

Andrew - Gusband and I are being currently subjected to a reality television show about farmers trying to find love. There’s no need to go into why we have committed ourselves to this weekly torture but we have.

Now don’t get me wrong, there are some fit looking men on this show which does help ease the pain but oh my god what the hell is wrong with people? Why have this group of people thought it would be a good idea to expose themselves on national television?

The show should be called “Farmer wants a root,” or “Slapper needs a headbutt.”

Why do these girls seem so grateful that some farmer who hasn’t had a shag since he was 16 has asked them back to his property to work as free labor. Where is your self-esteem ladies? Although perhaps my use of the word “ladies” is a bit of a stretch.

Gusband and I are really enjoying our weekly ritual of having dinner every Wednesday with our darling neighbours but the show can’t come to an end quick enough. At least we have permission to make fun of every contestant on the bloody show.

So farmer may very well want a wife, campers but Andrew wants a series finale.

P.S – Apologies for another reality television post so soon, I just really needed to get it off my chest.



Lucy – I cannot for the life of me understand why you would willingly subject yourself to “Farmer wants a Root”. Surely the Reality TV era has run its course, it’s like the fashion cycle (learning about this in my course at the moment).
You start with the Introduction to Reality TV, followed by the Rise, then of course the all important Peak which is closely followed by Decline & ultimately Obsolescence!
In fashion Obsolescence is the point where a trend has been made so cheaply & poorly it looks Vulgar. Surely we are at total saturation point & vulgarism with reality TV & yet it still continues to grace us with its presence.

Holy shit! I just Googled a list of reality TV shows in Australia. You don’t understand how many are out there!!!(The link if you dare)

It is just plain scary….

Did this all start with Big Brother. Are they the culprit?
& Look where we are now the F**cking Kardashians!
I realize it is probably a cheap way to make television programs but for Christ’s sake, enough already!

Have you had enough campers?
