Another season of Farmer Wants A Wife<\/a> is officially done and dusted \u2013 but for former contestant Keeley Rankin<\/a>, the questions haven\u2019t stopped, with split rumours circulating<\/a> for some of the show\u2019s happiest-looking couples.<\/p>\n

From which pairs made it past reunion <\/a>night to the awkward confrontation she couldn\u2019t look away from, Keeley\u2019s breaking down the biggest reunion moments for Woman\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cNOT ENOUGH TIME\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite a rocky season, Keeley says the reunion delivered a mostly positive update on where things stood at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a wrap on a rather tumultuous season of Farmer,\u201d she says. \u201cWe finished off with our reunion episode tonight where we did luckily see four out of five happy couples still together at that point in time. So that was Zac and Maya<\/a>, Dylan and Ally<\/a>, Jarrad and Brodie<\/a> and Jason and Poppy<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

News has since broken that both Dylan and Ally and Jason and Poppy have gone their separate ways<\/a> \u2013 something Keeley says tracks with how tight the turnaround from filming to reunion really is.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously we\u2019ve all heard the rumours that maybe there\u2019s been some splits since the reunion, and I think that that\u2019s fair, because there is only one month between the end of filming and then the reunion,\u201d she says. \u201cI don\u2019t really think it\u2019s enough time to truly transpire for the ladies to move, to see where their relationship\u2019s headed in normal terms.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019d rather wait for the couples to speak for themselves. \u201cFor me, I think it\u2019s more important to hear straight from the horse\u2019s mouth, maybe through social media, how the couples have gone since the experience has ended,\u201d she says. \u201cI know that this was the same during my own time on Farmer, and I did think a month wasn\u2019t long enough to fully gauge it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cALEX TOOK IT QUITE HARD\u201d<\/p>\n

Alex and Eddy<\/a> were considered one of the strongest couples to come out of this season, leaving the experience together early on. So hearing about Eddy\u2019s decision to end things with Alex just weeks later made their reunion confrontation especially tough to watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe obviously had an awkward confrontation between Alex and Eddy, and I think that conversation would have been quite difficult to have on camera, talking about how their relationship didn\u2019t translate from the experience then into the real world,\u201d she says. \u201cI think Alex took it quite hard, and hopefully enough time has passed that they\u2019re both doing really well with any luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

LOOKING AHEAD<\/p>\n

Next year, Keeley\u2019s hoping the show leans back into its roots<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy hope is that next year and in future seasons we continue to see really high success rates out of Farmer,\u201d she says. \u201cI think maybe a little bit more farm work next year, a little bit less drama<\/a>, and then we can all continue to enjoy Farmer Wants A Wife.\u201c<\/p>\n
