After 12 weeks of adventure broadcast on M6, the 18th season of Love is in the meadow ends its run this Monday, November 20. Karine Le Marchand will speak with the last candidates to take stock of them, following having already spoken with Olivier, Jean-Paul and Julien.
And even before closing this 2023 class, we already know that for the program’s candidates, Christine, Perrine and Anaïs, their single status has remained unchanged. An unfortunate outcome similar to that of their previous sisters. Because in fact, in ten years, only 12 farmers out of 42 have found love, recalls Le Parisian. A not very encouraging result which can be explained by several reasons.
First: their profession which is predominantly male and which therefore undeniably reduces the number of female participants in Love is in the meadow. “And among the 20% of women, there are many elderly, because they have taken over their husband’s farm“, specifies François Purseigle, professor of sociology at the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, specializing in the agricultural world, to our colleagues. In addition, the profession of breeder “is no longer a couple’s job“. And so, “80% of farmers do not live with a spouse who works in the same sector and the possibility of finding a professional equivalent is low“.
You have to have balls to go there
Another obstacle that stops women from signing up for the show: media exposure. “You have to have balls to go there. Seeing yourself on TV is still something for a woman. A man requires less preparation, whereas for us, if we want to feel good, we have to do our hair, put on makeup…“, analyzes Christine, who was the victim of violent criticism: “What we take as criticism on social networks is crazy! Me, we kept coming back to my wrinkles“, underlines Christine.
Finally, when they have enough courage to participate in Love is in the meadow, it is the men who falter, even though there are already too few of them looking at the portraits. “Men are less likely to face the possibility of being rejected on screen. It’s still unfortunately ingrained in the culture“, regrets Gabriella Mather, the producer of the program. Without forgetting that “the level of requirements of girls is higher compared to certain farmers“. “We have so many expectations when we do this show that we want to have the perfect letter except… it doesn’t exist!“, Anaïs can only conclude.
It remains to be hoped that the next season of Love is in the meadow will be more fruitful for the candidates…
