Record Number of Contestants for Emilia: A Grand Season Premiere of “BAUER SUCHT FRAU” (ATV) on September 15 at 8:15 p.m.
15.09.2026
Things are getting serious on *BAUER SUCHT FRAU* (ATV): 14 farmers are kicking off the “farm weeks” of the 23rd season, and the big adventure begins for those seeking love. Four farmers are kicking off the farm weeks. From the Hausruckviertel to the Mostviertel and all the way to Carinthia, Emilia, Peter, Thomas, and Arnold hope to finally find the right person by their side.
Record: Emilia (21, Wels-Land district), a cheerful young woman from the Hausruckviertel region, was spoiled for choice when it came to her applications. She received around 500 applications for her “Farm Week”—never before have so many men applied to a female farmer. “I never would have thought I’d get this many applications,” says the Upper Austrian, stunned. Her best friend Laura is helping with the selection. No fewer than ten men are showing up for the big meet-and-greet to snag the coveted invitation to her farm. “I wouldn’t have picked ten if all ten weren’t absolute favorites,” says Emilia, eagerly anticipating meeting the gentlemen. But not every suitor is banking on classic romance. While bouquets of flowers and thoughtful gifts earn extra points, one candidate surprises everyone with a move never before seen on *BAUER SUCHT FRAU*: Instead of introducing himself, he starts putting up a fence on Emilia’s farm. What are his chances of success?
Nerves are also running high for the laid-back Peter from Murtal (23, Murtal district). The likable dairy farmer has invited four ladies, three of whom arrive at his farm at the same time. The athletic Thomas from Mostviertel (32, Amstetten district) is meticulously preparing for his week on the farm. With “emergency baskets” he packed himself, he wants to make his four ladies’ stay as pleasant as possible. But his farm ladies have also come up with some ideas of their own. Personal gifts, a passion for soccer, and even a returning contestant from a past season of *BAUER SUCHT FRAU* provide plenty to talk about.
