- Following Monday’s episode, four farmers invited their intruders back to stay on the farm while Farmer Alex was the only one who did not bring his match home.
- Alex’s intruder, Maddison, told TV Week that he said he had developed a stronger connection with someone already on his farm, which explains his decision.
- On Jason’s farm a past Facebook connection with intruder Kimberley came to light and on Jarrad’s farm a revealed kiss with intruder Christina left original contestants feeling betrayed.
- Producers’ use of family-picked intruders has accelerated rivalry and trust issues on the show and the coming episodes will show the on-farm confrontations and fallout that follow.
