Inka Bause uncovers unbelievable "Farmer Wants a Wife" scandal!
The talk is about Andreas, a cocoa farmer from Guatemala, who participated in the "International" version of the show last year. What no one knew at the time: This 64-year-old farmer was anything but single during the filming! He was married and concealed this crucial fact from the entire team. Inka Bause is still deeply disappointed by this audacity.
Inka Bause beside herself
"I was really disappointed and still am," Inka Bause makes it unmistakably clear in a conversation. Imagine giving your all to help people find love, and then your trust is betrayed like that! Shortly after the first episodes aired, Andreas' deception was exposed via Instagram. He even lashed out against the broadcaster afterward. This had consequences: RTL removed Andreas from all "Farmer Wants a Wife" episodes and social media posts.
The deceived women
Particularly tragic about the whole story are the two women, Petra (58) and Elke (63), who fell for Andreas' advances. They undertook the extremely long journey, flying all the way to Central America to his cocoa farm, only to meet a man who blatantly deceived them. Inka Bause still thinks about these two ladies and their painful betrayal.
The motive behind the lie
Why all this? The truth is even more shocking! Andreas later tried to justify himself by saying he hadn't actively applied for the show. He claimed he was found and asked. But the real motivation was not a search for love, but something much more calculated: He merely wanted to generate attention for his charitable foundation in Guatemala. Can you imagine that? Using the show as an advertising platform!
Consequences for the future of the show
To prevent such a case in the future, RTL has tightened the controls for candidates. Now, there is a closer look at who is applying. However, Inka Bause views the whole thing with mixed feelings. "It's a fine line because it takes away the romance of the whole thing," the host explains. Nevertheless, she hopes that the "beautiful energy" that holds everything together – love – will be palpable in the upcoming seasons. After all, "Farmer Wants a Wife" should remain a place for genuine feelings, even if such scandals temporarily shake it.
