Farmers want a wife The third season is over – and at least one couple is still strong.
Warning: Spoilers for the season 3 finale where Farmer Wants to Wife.
In the season 3 finale of the Hit Fox series, which aired on Thursday, May 22, all four farmers were asked to choose between the last two women. It was smooth sailing while the drama germinated from a particular decision John SansonI finally chose Claire Dillett That’s all Lily Ayers.
“Clair, Lily, and I [the final decision]what did you know about this [show] I knew what we were doing,” said 25-year-old John exclusively. US every week Before the finale. “I was trying to make friendship as strong as possible. If Lily or Claire in another situation were blown away by me, I would have been shocked.”
John and Claire enter the unharmed sunset, but the couple confess that their first meeting was not epic. Their appeal came as a surprise to both of them as the season progressed.
“I personally had no first impressions of Claire,” confessed John. “Then there are these things called OTFS. [are] A fly interview about daily life. And after a speed date in Alabama, I remember telling the camera, “Yeah, Claire was a great girl.” She looked very sweet, wonderful and gentle, but the date was a bit boring. ”
Claire remembered that for her she was “very nervous and uneasy” about appearing on the show, which influenced how she presented herself.
“I never remember our first conversation, so I never had a first impression of John,” she said. We, Note that she was in “Autopilot” at the beginning of the season.
John said he “quickly” realized how well Claire was doing with the other women – he wanted him to “keep around her” – not until things were more comfortable making a romantic turn.
He said We“Towards the end [of the season everybody started to loosen up more and get more casual and just started basically being themselves and not worrying about all the cameras and all that nonsense, so that’s when I think I really started to like Claire and really started to get along with her into a level that would stem to a relationship.”
Claire echoed John’s sentiment, admitting there were times she thought she might need to “leave” — “I can’t be here, this is too hard,” she recalled thinking — before bonding with John and the other women changed her mind.
“It did kind of quickly change as soon as I got close with the girls. And then John made it easy on me too,” she continued, pointing to the show’s Nashville mixer, which all four of the farmers and their contestants attended, as a big turning point.
“I had to pull him for a conversation and I was super anxious, like, I couldn’t really get a word out, and he just made it really lighthearted and joked around,” she recalled. “I think that really helped me just loosen and open up and be more myself.”
After John picked Claire for a solo date toward the end of the season, the twosome realized they had different values. Being opposites, however, only brought them closer together as John appreciated learning from someone with an alternate point of view.

“I think that’s a very beneficial thing to have in any relationship,” John said. “Personally, I’m not a big fan of echo chambers. I can’t stand them. I gotta get away from them. So, I think it’s pretty interesting and fun to go through this with somebody who has a different outlook on certain things in life.”
Some differences, of course, were slightly bigger obstacles than others. John’s desire to marry someone who stays home with the kids didn’t fully line up with Claire’s life plans, but it wasn’t something she worried too much about.
“I guess I wasn’t super surprised that he felt that way,” she told Us. “And I mean, I don’t think it was anything I was immediately, adamantly against. I’m happy to learn from him and I think he learns from me. And that’s one really strong point we have is our ability to communicate. So any difference or problem that we’ve had, we’ve been able to talk through. And I think that I would be surprised if there was something that we couldn’t figure out and talk through in the future.”
Claire’s mom, on the other hand, was more taken aback by John’s traditional outlook, asking him during the finale what he felt women “are for.” Thankfully, the duo were able to have a respectful exchange — but that didn’t mean John wasn’t anxious going into it.
“I was insanely nervous. Her mom is a decorated college professor who does public speaking events and a very strong woman and very set in her ways,” he explained. “It was pretty interesting and nerve-racking to talk to her. But I think it was very cool that we were able to just talk through stuff and just learn each other’s outlooks and perspectives and have a friendly conversation and just talk about our differences. I think that was really neat and something that a lot of people should take a note from that old notebook.”
So, where do John and Claire stand now? Us is pleased to report the two are still happily together and currently spending some time in Chicago — “I’m extremely uncomfortable and I wanna leave, I want my mom to pick me up,” John joked of the location change — and are focused on taking it “day by day.”
That means while they are loving spending time together, a permanent move for Claire to the farm isn’t in the cards quite yet.
“[We’re] Don’t put pressure on yourself. I think that’s why we have such a strong relationship,” John revealed. We are still in a very early stage of our relationship.
We are both very young. We’ll continue to ride this and see what it will turn out. ”
As for these “different” values, John has “them’s conversations” and always says “it comes in very well,” but there’s nothing they’re stressing right now.
“It’s just one of those things like walking through too much unnecessary pressure,” he said, but Claire said, “every time we have a tough conversation or something more serious, I think we’ve gotten better later.”
In the show behind them, John and Claire look to the future and take what they’ve learned with them.
“I’m so happy because when you’re sitting and talking to the camera and when the producers were asking you questions, it was always a free therapy. “So I was really grateful for the whole experience.”
John also had no regrets and said that putting himself in “uncomfortable situations” was “the absolute best way to grow.”
“The coolest thing I’ve learned is how easy it is to talk to people who actually have a variety of views and values,” he said. “Not only Claire, but people in production, other people on different farms, etc. As long as you get into it with a good attitude and realize that it’s another person on the other side of the conversation, you know you’re going far in life.”
