Farmers seeking love on M6's reality series L’amour est dans le pré often face moments of unpredictability behind the camera, as illustrated by contestant Benoît's recent revelation regarding his participation in the 2026 season. According to an interview with Télé-Loisirs, the 38-year-old dairy farmer from Haute-Marne nearly withdrew from the show entirely just days before filming began. Benoît explained that the production contacted him with a problem: he had received very few love letters from potential suitors, which confused the producers. Faced with three choices—abandoning the project, staying in the traditional format despite the low interest, or accepting a new innovative approach—the farmer opted for the latter. The production proposed inviting two specific women directly to his farm for speed dates, bypassing the conventional peniche boat setup. Benoît accepted the challenge, trusting the show's two-decade-long experience, and ultimately chose to continue dating Élodie. [1]
