The Canberra region has another contender in Farmer Wants a Wife, but the game might be over before it's begun.
Prime7 released publicity on Wednesday to say Farmer Andrew, a 30-year-old sheep farmer from the Snowy Mountains town of Delegate, had found love on the show, even before it goes to air.
ALSO IN NEWS:
"I came here to do one thing, and I did it. I fell in love," the smitten farmer said.
The network also revealed the three lasses vying for his heart, taking away the suspense of the traditional whittling down of possible future wives.
It might be an attempt by Channel Seven to get the show back to its grassroots promise - finding farmers love, rather than confecting Married At First Sight-style drama, as happened last season.
The network notes Farmer Wants a Wife in Australia has resulted in nine marriages, one long-term relationship and 23 babies.
An air date for this season has yet to be announced.
So who has stolen the heart of the cheeky, footy-loving farmer from the foothills of the Snowys?
Is it retail store manager, Ashleigh (Queensland, 28), community relations manager, Jess (Melbourne, 27) or social worker Rachael (New South Wales, 30)?
While the identity of Farmer Andrew's new love remains under wraps, it's no secret what he values in a relationship.
"I'm a glass-half-full type of guy. I like to be optimistic about life. I enjoy a good chat and plenty of laughs," he said.
