FWFWW Ep 5: Fish kisses and dinner party disputes

Tonight, viewers were treated to not one but two heated dinner party exchanges, a sheep mounting incident and a surprise fish-kiss before one overwhelmed farmer bolts from the dinner table and heads for the hills.

First, we swing by a freshly-shaven Farmer Joe's place, where he and Sarah head off for a solo date.

A measured Farmer Joe tells us that if he doesn't feel something with Sarah, it is "potentially a do-or-die situation," which seems a little theatrical, however, as they embark on a daring hike across some incredibly steep and rocky terrain, I see what he was getting at.

They chat about "ticking boxes," "taking things slow," and "opening up."

Farmer Joe ominously tells us he's "looking forward to jumping into the rest of this date" before jumping into a swimming hole with Sarah.

"It might get a bit steamy out here," he tells us, again ominously.

Then they kiss passionately in the water.

Farmer Dean and Teegan visit Australia Zoo.

Farmer Dean is still stewing over the damning (and the confusingly anonymous) text message he received about Teegan at the country show.

They have a grand old time patting the rhinos and feeding the giraffes, and then Farmer Dean leans in for a kiss but only manages to land one on her forehead.

After a quick chat, Farmer Dean and Teegan decide to ignore the silly text and move on.

They wrap up the conversation with a kiss (on the lips) this time.

Farmer Bert surprises Caitlin by driving her to her favourite fishing spot in her hometown of Bribie Island.

They drop by a bait and tackle shop owned by Caitlin's parents, where Bert meets her mum.

"You want some worms?" she asks the excited couple.

Mum looks chuffed with Farmer Bert, and I reckon she quickly jumps online to order four fishing shirts in size 000.

As they drive across the beach, Caitlin tells us she's "going to get her shoes off."

Bert one-ups Caitlin with, "I'm ready to get my clothes off".

So perhaps those baby clothes may come in handy sooner than we first thought.

The competitive nature of their fledgling relationship is on full display as the pair engage in an energetic pun-off.

The double entendres are flying left, right, and centre.

"Are you going to teach me how to tie the knot?" Farmer Berts asks.

"Am I the catch of the day, you reckon?" Caitlin fires back.

"We've caught each other; I think it's a sign," she continues.

And so it goes.

Deft fisher Caitlin catches an actual fish, and Farmer Bert swiftly shoves it in her face so she can kiss it.

They set up a picnic on the beach, and Caitlin tells us she "could be Bert's cup of tea" as they sip tea.

Then she kisses him (Bert this time).

Farmer Tom and Sarah C explore his area.

They visit a winery, followed by a boat tour and dinner on a jetty.

"I'm just a young bloke from the bush having a crack," Farmer Tom says.

They talk about the possibility of her moving to the farm.

Sarah C says she would move for the right person, and they seal it with a kiss.

Farmer Dustin and Chloe head off for a one-on-one date, and he presents her with a padlock on which they write their initials and lock it on a fence.

"It's not Paris but you know in Paris how they do the lock thing," Farmer Dustin attempts to explain.

"Well, this is the Condo version."

They share a dinner under the stars on the back of his truck adorned with festoon lights.

Farmer Dustin is delivering a piece directly to the camera with producers when Chloe ambles over.

"Me and Chloe have a really good connection, and I think that chemistry we have ....." he starts but is cut off.

"Dustin!" Chloe calls out as she mooches into the shot.

"Oh, hello," he says.

"I forgot to give you something from earlier," she says.

And with that, she plants one on his lips.

"Oh, ok, thanks", he responds awkwardly, giggling. "I wasn't expecting that."

I don't think any of us were, to be honest.

Farmer Joe gets his ladies out on the farm to put some portable panels together.

Keely tells us, "It's to keep the sheep in", with absolutely no confidence at all in her statement.

Calya swans on to the scene late wearing a puffy pink dress, John Lennon shades and a floppy bucket hat.

"Oh, you are all done, damn."

"Going into the dinner tonight, my tongue is in my stomach again," she tells us.

I guess what she was attempting to convey was that she was nervous.

Over at Farmer Tom's, Sarah A shows her enthusiasm for farm activity day by mounting a sheep before she wrestles it to the ground as per Farmer Tom's instructions, much to the amusement of the other ladies.

"We are shaving sheep's bums essentially," she confirms to viewers.

Then, it's time for farm farewells.

Caity pulls Farmer Bert aside for a chat to let him know the depths of her feelings.

She asks for a kiss, and he politely declines the kind offer.

Ultimately, Farmer Bert feels like she pulled back after their 24-hour date, and there isn't enough connection between them, so it's time for her to leave the pineapple life behind.

Farmer Joe is confused about who to send home.

So, to make matters even more confusing for the man, Keely decides to not so discreetly hint to the other women at the dinner table that she and Farmer Joe kissed at the country show, describing him as "playful and cheeky".

They are highly suspicious.

And it really throws a cat among the pigeons when Farmer Joe confirms those suspicions.

Keely and Calya are especially upset by this revelation, and the allegations start flying.

Sarah accuses Keely of teasing them; she starts crying and then tells Calya she is a mean girl.

So, Calya up and leaves the table.

All the while, Farmer Joe examines the food on his plate with an unwavering focus.

With emotions running high, Farmer Joe decides to restore peace and doesn't send anyone home.

Farmer Dustin also doesn't farewell anyone.

Farmer Tom farewells farm girl Taylah, who fancied herself as the most suited to him.

She is upset about being friend-zoned but wishes him all the best.

Things are also a bit tense at Farmer Dean's; Bella and Tiffany's noses are out of joint and think it's become the "Dean and Teegan Show".

At dinner, Bella questions Dean about lavishing all his attention on Teegan.

"Without stepping on toes, have either of you put in any effort?" Teegan counters.

This leads to a rapid-fire volley of accusations.

A miffed Tiff returns serve, "We all put in effort; you can't say you're the only one who puts in effort."

"I'm not saying that," Teegan fires back.

"Well, it sounds like you are," Tiff snaps.

"We tried to put in effort, and it didn't go anywhere, so we were like, why are we going to keep trying." Bella pipes up again.

'So why are you still here if you're not going to try," a defensive Teegan fires back again.

Farmer Dean is following the rally being slogged out in front of him, as the ball lands in each of their courts.

He eventually becomes completely overwhelmed and decides he should be the one to leave the farm so he can spend the night in peace and mull it all over.

He gets up from the table and jumps in the ute as the ladies watch the taillights disappear into the night.

"That was unexpected," Bella says.

The game is halted with the scores locked at three-all in the second set.
