The country, city divide

The reality dating show The Farmer wants a Wife has an interesting premise: Get eligible bachelors from the Australian countryside and pair them up with young women from the city.

While it's a neat idea that makes for good television, the relationships that ensue are up against it. The rural life is not something that you could easily take to if you've been brought up in the big smoke, after all. Eventually, something's gotta give.

This appears to have happened to at least one of the couplings that resulted from the show. The woman in question seems to have tired of the country life and headed back to Sydney.

Another pairing seems to be going strong, though. But that seems to be because the man is spending a lot of time in Melbourne with his wife-to-be. Will be interesting to see if this union lasts.
