Farmer Wants a Wife's John and Samatha's journey ended after she decided to leave

After Samatha decided to leave John on Farmer Wants a Wife, he revealed that there were "definitely some interesting turns" while she was on the show. Fans witnessed John choosing Samantha for his first solo overnight date. It was at the Missouri farm, as featured on the show's premiere episode.

However, Farmer Wants a Wife Season 3 Episode 5 featured Samantha's surprising exit from the show as she ended things with John. Before leaving, John and Samatha had a private discussion about it.

"I feel so strong in John and I's connection. But I came into this saying if he did not meet my needs and he was not what I needed, I would have no hesitation leaving. And it's been a lot harder than what I thought it was going to be, because we hit it off instantly," she confessed to the cameras.

After her private confession, she and John sat down, and she revealed feeling overwhelmed. She told John that she had no idea where things would progress. Samatha expressed how, after meeting John, "sparks" flew instantly.

She noted how John was family-oriented, God-feared, and:

"Everything I've ever looked for in a man."

Seeing where Samatha was going, John asked, "But?" Looking into his eyes, Samatha said there were "little things." Because of that, she believed she was not what John "needed" but "wanted." The female cast member mentioned that John was someone who "very much liked" to be in the driver's seat, so was she.

Samatha said that John needed someone who would let him "lead." Witnessing how she was breaking things off, the Farmer Wants a Wife star said he appreciated her honesty and that it was okay.

"I really actually did enjoy having you around coz it was fun. It felt like, you know, I had somebody that was like in the exact same head space as me. It's going to be interesting not having that anymore."

The two hugged and parted ways. Seeing her walking away, fellow cast members were surprised and asked Samatha what had happened.
