Reports described a new Flemish season of Farmer Wants a Wife as taking a more provocative approach than the Dutch version, featuring younger farmers, nudity and more drama. The Dutch programme’s forthcoming fifteenth season was described as retaining its traditional focus on romance.

One participant suggested a new title for such a revamped programme, but the proposed name was not included in the report.
