Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3 has been quite the talk of the town since multiple female contestants have decided to leave to show. Along with that, a kissing incident, or rather, a kiss that didn't happen between John Sansone and Samantha Riehl, caught quite the attention.

When John leaned in to kiss Samantha during their solo date, she politely refused. It was not dramatic, but her choice not to get engaged, physically in front of the camera. That, too, John didn't choose her, but was in the initial phase where he was to explore his other connections on the show.

With that in mind, Farmer Wants a Wife's Samantha made a choice, and everyone should respect that. Later on, the kiss that didn't happen, or say, almost happened, stirred quite the aftermath. However, before commenting on Samantha's choice to refuse the kiss firmly, knowing what led to her decision is essential.


Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3: Everyone should respect Samantha's wish not to get engaged in an intimate moment in front of the camera

After John chose to go on a private solo date with Samantha, everyone was perfect. It was a picturesque location in the countryside, there was wine, and deeper conversations between the duo. While everyone was going well, John leaned in to share a kiss, which Samantha firmly refused. As viewers witnessed, the female cast member pulled back.

Some might think it was because she was not interested. Well, that's certainly not the case. According to Samantha:

"There's a reason for that. I'm going to marry someone someday. It might be you, it might not be you, and I don’t want something of me kissing another man on television. If it's you, then we don't have anything to worry about."

Samantha's well-explained thoughts prove how a woman can be firm and swift while keeping her standards. They represent how Samantha wanted to move forward and her choice to share that choice swiftly.

In the world of reality television, everyone is caught up in on-camera affection and intimacy. However, Samantha truly showed how one can have one's standards and follow them even when on camera. More importantly, she could justify her action by revealing the reason to John.

On the other hand, John's reaction to the situation was not appreciative. Later, John revealed that he was "pissed" at the producers. Why? According to him, they encouraged him to kiss Samantha, and that was the reason why he leaned in to kiss her. He then "ripped off" the mic and left.

Most people think that being intimate in front of the camera shows how strong their relationship is. But Farmer Wants a Wife star Samantha has proved that not everyone's love or affection needs to have a public display.

Seeing Samantha's stance on the situation and how well she handled it shows how everyone can maintain their boundaries while staying kind and clear.

What happened further on Farmer Wants a Wife, Samantha leaving the show, was unfortunate. She mentioned that there was a "mismatch" in their leadership styles and that she was looking for a "partner" and not someone who would "lead" her.
