Farmer Wants a Wife winner Jess Cova has blamed the editing on the reality show for pushing an untrue narrative about her.
Farmer Will chose Jess as his final choice on Monday night’s finale. However, despite winning Will’s heart, the reality star isn’t happy about the edit she received on the dating show.
“It’s been very surreal to watch the show,” she told Confidential. “Throughout, they very much tried to push the narrative that I wouldn’t move to be with Will. But I never said that I wouldn’t.”
“I was just being realistic about not being able to move immediately because I very much pride myself on being independent,” the third-year nursing student said.
And, recent reports back up her claim, Jess has allegedly moved from Queensland to Will’s town of Berriwillock, Victoria. Will was just one of the three farmers who found love on the show, and the trio will return to our screens with the final picks for a reunion episode tonight.
In the same interview, Jess said that she and Will talked about the possibility of her relocating to Berriwillock in-depth, but the conversation was cut from the episode.
“It was a really beautiful date. We talked about me moving, and me taking him to Italy to meet my nonna.

“Sadly, they did not show much of it. I think that’s how editing goes, for how they want to portray their storylines.”
And, Jess told the publication that it wasn’t just her who copped a questionable edit.
“Sometimes me, or Will, or Madi (Will’s runner up) would say something, and it’s put over a scene that happened three weeks later.”
“The relationship we were building at the time is so much stronger than what they’ve portrayed.”
She added, “But they’ve got to keep viewers guessing. It’s very bizarre. I’ve had to remind myself that it’s TV, and I’m a character.”
