Her time on the show was nothing less than dramatic, and since leaving Farmer Wants A Wife, Miranda Chopping has been spilling tea like there’s no tomorrow.
This time, the 21-year-old is revealing major production secrets and sharing what she really thinks of Farmer Zac and, ohhh boy, she did not hold back.
Speaking to WHO, Miranda explained that there is obviously “so much that gets cut” from the final edit, revealing that they are woken up very early in the morning, filming all day, and all of this without access to their phones.
What viewers don’t see on Farmer Wants A Wife
“We’re literally filming all day, like we’re having breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the van if we’re not at the farm, and we don’t wrap filming until like 3am and then obviously that all gets put into one little episode,” she explained.
“So there’s so much that people don’t see, and so many scenes that just don’t even make it to the screen.”
Now, if you’re wondering what she means by “the van”, we were interested too!
Miranda explained, “When we would travel around, or we were going to the filming locations, we were in a van without our farmers and producers – just us girls.
“We were always separate from the farmer, unless the cameras were on, but we would just have our little van, and if we weren’t on set, we were sitting in the van waiting to get called out. So it was very long days in the van.”
Miranda added that the “van became like our second home”.
‘I probably spent an hour with Zac’
Then came the most surprising revelation – the reality star revealed that on the farm, she spent “not much” time with Farmer Zac at all.
“I reckon in total I probably spent like an hour with Zac the whole time I was there,” Miranda confessed. “If we’re not filming, we’re not around the farmers, and even when we are filming, it’s not actually anything like just time to ourselves.
“It’s kind of doing it for the cameras, and then once it, once the cameras are off, it’s like, okay, separate now, like you guys, that’s it, sort of thing.”
She added of herself and Zac, “If the cameras aren’t on, we’re not together, and it’s definitely not as long as it’s made out to be.”
Miranda said it was certainly not enough time to feel a real connection with the farmers.
“When people are asking, like, how strong do you think your connection is, it’s kind of hard to say, because I really haven’t spent much time with him,” she elaborated. “I barely even know the guy, so it’s very hard to say and make a decision based on an hour of time with someone.”
Miranda’s true feelings for Zac
After a short but memorable stint on the show, Miranda was sent home from the show after Zac realised she was creating drama between some of the girls still on the farm.
“I can’t see us going any further from here,” the apple farmer told her. “I’m really sorry.”
To the cameras, he added, “Seeing Miranda say that at the table, it was sort of the nail in the coffin, Miranda was passive aggressive against Maya and I just don’t agree with how things were gone about.”
Miranda retorted, “I think Zac and I were getting quite close and did have a good connection, but if someone is going to treat me like that, then I want nothing to do with them anyway. And I have no respect for him for believing what other girls have said; I think it’s stupid.”
Is Miranda still watching Farmer Wants A Wife?
We just had to ask this question, and, in true icon spirit, Miranda’s response did not disappoint.
“I’m actually not watching anymore. I’m bored,” she told us. “I watched the night after I left to see what it was like without me, and yeah, it was not very entertaining, so we turned it off.”
She added, “Sorry, that the show was nothing without me.”
