The farmer wants a woman The third season is over – and at least one couple is still going strong.
Warning: Spoilers below for the final of season 3 of Farmer wants a woman.
During the final of season 3 of the Hit Fox series, broadcast on Thursday, May 22, the four farmers were invited to make a choice between their last two women. While the drama pushed to certain decisions, it was fluid John Sansonewho finally chose Claire Dirette on Lily Ayres.
“Claire and Lily and I, leading to [the final decision]knew what that [show] was and know what we were all, “said John, 25, exclusively US Weekly Before the final. “I was trying to keep the camaraderie as strong as possible.
John and Claire entered the Sun Sun unhappy, but the couple admitted that their initial meeting was far from spectacular. It turns out that their attraction was a surprise for both as the season progressed.
“I didn’t have a first impression of Claire at all,” said John. “Then we have these things called OTF, which [are] Interviews on the fly on each date. And after the speed dates in Alabama, I remember saying to the camera something like: “Yeah, Claire was a big girl. She seemed very soft and kind and sweet, but the date was just a little dull. “”
Claire, for her part, remembered that she had been “extremely nervous and anxious” of being in the series, which affected the way she presented herself.
“In any case, I do not remember our first conversation. So I had no first impression of John, ”she said We, Noting that she was on “automatic pilot” at the start of the season.
While John said that he “immediately” noticed how clear he was heard with other women – something that made him want to “keep around” – it was only when the couple became more comfortable together that things took a romantic turn.
He said We“Towards the end [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] Do not put pressure on ourselves. I think that’s why we have such a strong relationship, “said John.” We do not try to force anything or put all these dates or chronologies or plans on us, because it will simply build a lot of unnecessary pressure for us at the moment. We are still in the early stages of the relationship.
We are both very young. We will just continue to do this and see how it goes.
As for these “different” values, John said that they had “these conversations” and that they “always go very well”, but it is nothing that they are stressful at the moment.
“It is only one of those things which, like, much too much unnecessary pressure that enter,” he said, while Claire added: “I think that each time we had a difficult conversation or something more serious, we were better after.”
With the show behind them, John and Claire turn to the future and take what they learned with them.
“I’m so happy to have done it because it was a bit, like free therapy all the time when you sit and talk to the camera and the producer asks you questions. Even that, you learn a lot about yourself,” said Claire. “I was therefore really grateful for the whole experience.”
John also has no regrets and said that putting himself in “uncomfortable situations” is the “best absolute way to grow”.
“The coolest thing I have learned is how easy it is to talk to people with different opinions and values,” he told us. “Not only clear, but people in production, other people in different farms and all that. As long as you enter it with a good attitude and recognizing that it is just another human being on the other side of the conversation, so you know that you are going to go far in life.”
Farmer wants a woman is available to broadcast on Hulu.
