Season 4 of Farmer Wants A Wife<\/a><\/em>\u00a0has officially been announced. When it premieres on April 21, fans will meet three farmers on the hunt for love.<\/p>\n The hit reality dating show is shaking things up this year. Instead of its usual four-farmer format, the series will feature just three farmers, allowing for more on-screen romance and deeper storylines for viewers.<\/p>\n With the premiere date approaching, farmers Braden Pridemore (26), Brett Maverick (35) and Sean Cavanaugh (22) sat down with reality star and podcast host Nick Viall<\/span><\/span> on his Viall Files<\/a><\/em>\u00a0podcast. During the conversation, they opened up about what they\u2019re looking for in a partner and what their experience on the show was really like.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what we learned:<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m looking for the right one, not just someone,\u201d Maverick begins. \u201cI\u2019ve dated plenty of women, but they haven\u2019t been that one. Going on something like this \u2014 a show where you\u2019re meeting people you would never meet in another circumstance \u2014 it gives you the opportunity to find someone. You\u2019re thrown into a situation where you\u2019re only with them\u2026 no phone, no TV, nothing like that. It\u2019s like being back in the \u201990s, early 2000s.\u201d<\/p>\n The other farmers mirrored similar sentiments.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve dated some girls and have learned a lot,\u201d Pridemore adds. \u201cGoing through this process, I had some reservations because it\u2019s a crazy world [reality television]. You\u2019re diving right into it, but it ended up being a really great decision. I was blown away at how real it became. I was going in with an open mind and open heart. It forced conversations to come up that normally wouldn\u2019t come up until a few months into dating in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n Related: <\/strong>‘<\/strong>Farmer Wants A Wife’ Season 3: Couples Update<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n \u201cOne of my rodeo buddies was on the first season,\u201d former bull rider Maverick shares. \u201cI happened to see it on at a bar one night. That\u2019s as much as I had [seen] from it.\u201d<\/p>\n The cattle and horse rancher did not disclose which farmer he knew, but since Season 1\u2019s Hunter Grayson was a team roper, the odds that it was him seem fairly high.<\/p>\n \u201cGrowing up in a small town, you know everybody,\u201d Pridemore starts. \u201cIt kinda gets down to, oh, the good ones moved away.\u201d<\/p>\n He further explains that you often end up dating the people who are available around you.<\/p>\n \u201cIt happens a lot. I know people where a lot of time it works, like high school sweethearts, but then it can also get to the point of, \u2018Oh, we\u2019ve been dating for eight years, I guess we get married now,\u2019 as it\u2019s the next thing to do. I was always different there.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve lived in more city and farm town areas, so I have dated around those areas and have had different experiences from it,\u201d Cavanaugh adds. \u201cI would say when I was younger I had a taste of dating in a city, and I realized I am looking for more of a traditional woman. I think it\u2019s hard to find nowadays, especially in California. Before the show, I was single for a year. Through the show, it gave me the opportunity to find the girl I\u2019ve been looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n While the farmers couldn\u2019t reveal which woman they chose in the end, all three unanimously said, \u201cIt worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n That strongly suggests not only that each of them made a final choice, but that they may still be with the women they picked.<\/p>\n Ultimately, all three farmers said no.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m looking for a girl who isn\u2019t afraid to get her hands dirty,\u201d Cavanaugh expresses. \u201cI want a girl who wants to be adventurous with me and wants to put in some hard work, but I do appreciate a feminine woman who likes to get dressed up and go out to dinner. Kind of a mix of both worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n For Cavanaugh, it doesn\u2019t sound like she has to do exactly what he does, but rather appreciate his lifestyle and be willing to jump in. The other farmers shared similar perspectives.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you don\u2019t actually want to go out and do the stuff, but you want to own the things, and it\u2019s just me doing all of the stuff,\u201d Maverick begins. \u201cThat\u2019s cool, but it\u2019s not the ideal situation. If you have someone that goes out there and they don\u2019t know anything about it, but want to learn \u2014 they want to be a part of it as much as you are \u2014 that\u2019s what your hopes are.\u201d<\/p>\n Farmer Brett emphasized that he\u2019s ultimately looking for a partner.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not asking a girl to hop in a tractor,\u201d Pridemore chimes in. \u201cI\u2019m not looking for a coworker. The biggest thing is I am looking for someone who can support that life. There can be some stressful days where you come home and something\u2019s broken or it rained \u2014 you need someone to lean on.\u201d<\/p>\n The men shared that early on, during the speed round, one contestant abruptly asked to leave the show \u2014 something that caught them completely off guard.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were like, \u2018What is going on?\u2019\u201d Maverick begins.<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t know how to react to something like that when it happens,\u201d Pridemore chimes in. \u201cAre you allowed to do this? How are we supposed to react?\u201d<\/p>\n All three men expressed that they don\u2019t have a specific physical \u201ctype,\u201d noting that they\u2019ve dated a wide range of women.<\/p>\n They also shared that casting asks detailed questions about physical attraction, as well as the personality traits and character qualities they\u2019re looking for. In that sense, the group of women is somewhat tailored to each farmer\u2019s preferences.<\/p>\n \u201cI have to be attracted to you,\u201d Maverick shares. \u201cBut it\u2019s more so who you are as a person and personality.\u201d<\/p>\n All three men agreed that kissing on camera was something they had to get used to.<\/p>\n \u201cThere were points where it was a bit uncomfortable,\u201d Cavanaugh admits. \u201cYou\u2019re having an intimate moment with someone and then you look over their shoulder and there is a camera guy. This is weird.\u201d<\/p>\n You can watch the new season on FOX on April 21 at 8 PM ET.<\/p>\n Catch up on who Season 3\u2019s farmers chose below.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhy a dating show?<\/h3>\n
