The farmer wants a wife Season 3 is over – at least one couple is still strong.
Warning: Spoilers for Season 3’s Farmer Finale Want a Wife.
In the season 3 finale of the popular Fox Series airing Thursday, May 22, all four farmers were asked to choose between the last two women. When the drama sprouts from certain decisions, the navigation is smooth John Sansonthe final choice Claire Dirette Exceed Lily Ayres.
“Claire and Lily and me, until [the final decision]always know what this is [show] Yes and knows everything about us,” John, 25, told exclusively US Weekly Before the ending. “I tried to make friendship as strong as possible throughout the process. I would be shocked if Lily or Claire blew me up in another situation.”
John and Claire walked into the sunset unscathed, but the couple admitted that their first meeting was far from spectacular. It turns out that their appeal surprised both of them as the season progressed.
“I didn’t have the first impression of Claire at all.” “After that, we had these things called OTFs, [are] Instant interviews about each date. After the speed date in Alabama, I remember saying to the camera, “Yes, Claire is a great girl. She looks so sweet and has a soft speaking voice, but the date is just a little dull.”
Claire recalls “very nervous and anxious” about attending the show, which affected her way of acting.
She told her: “I don’t remember the first conversation we had. us, Noted that she was “autonomously driving” at the start of the season.
John said he noticed “immediately” how Claire got along with other women, which made him want to “keep her around” until things became romantic after the two became more comfortable.
He told us,”at last [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] No pressure on yourself. I think that’s why we have such a strong relationship,” John revealed. We’re not trying to force anything, nor putting all these dates, schedules or plans on us, because it’s just putting a lot of unnecessary stress on us right now. We’re still in the early stages of the relationship.
We are both very young. We just keep riding and see how it develops. ”
As for those “different” values, John said they had “those conversations” and were always “good”, but now there was no pressure on anything.
“That’s just one of those things, like unnecessary pressure to walk in, and Claire added, “I think whenever we have a tough conversation or something worse, we get better.” ”
In the performance behind them, John and Claire are looking for the future and accepting what they have learned with them.
“I’m so happy to do this because when you sit and talk to the camera, it’s a free therapy and the producers ask you questions. Even if you do that, you learn a lot about yourself.” “So I’m really grateful for the whole experience.”
John also had no regrets and said putting himself in a “discomfortable situation” was “the absolute best way to grow.”
“The coolest thing I’ve learned is how easy it is to actually only talk to people with different perspectives and values,” he told us. “Not only Claire, but also in production, others on different farms and all of this stuff. As long as you get into it with a good attitude and realize that it’s just another person on the other end of the conversation, you know you’re going to go further in your life.”
