He gives them each a list, and sends them off. What does a country wife do? Apparently, catch chicken, pick up car parts, grocery shopping, trips to the taxidermist, tractor parts, horsefeed and picking up pies. Yum.<\/p>\n<p>Christa makes things awkward at the local store by asking for condoms while buying some ugly sunglasses for Matt, then continues the trend by getting horse feed for &#8220;pleasure horses because who doesn&#8217;t love pleasure?&#8221; Ok then. Christa makes it back first, to find MAtt waiting with lunch, while Brooke is trapped by the passing train, but gets points for getting the right part though she hadn&#8217;t been told which one to get by Matt.<\/p>\n<p>Each girl gets a private one on one date &#8211; and Brooke only gets 30 minutes to get ready. Matt takes her out four-wheeling because he sees her as more the outdoorsey type &#8211; good call, as they get all smoochy and loveydovy even though Brooke doesn&#8217;t tell him she loves him.<\/p>\n<p>Christa has had 4 hours to get ready, and is picked up on a horse-drawn carriage and Brook instantly thinks she&#8217;s blown it and it&#8217;s all over and she&#8217;s pretty upset. Christa is taken to Matt&#8217;s house, where they have dinner and she makes 80293483 references to how nice a ring would look on her finger. OK, it was only one, but COME ON, doesn&#8217;t she know better? Really? They make out, and he takes her back where she promptly tells Brooke they made out and Brooke is even more convinced she&#8217;s toast.<\/p>\n<p>The next day the girls get all dressed up and the whole town shows up outside. Matt tells makes a rather awkward little speech (including saying &#8220;Christa is ready to do it anytime&#8221; which isn&#8217;t what he meant at all, but is actually a completely real representation of the Christa we&#8217;ve come to know..) and lets them know a crop duster will fly by with the banner that declares his love for the winner, and who he&#8217;s picked as his wife.<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/gonfalon.org\/eclat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/mattbrooke.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gonfalon.org\/eclat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/mattbrooke.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"mattbrooke\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-145\" \/><\/a>The women are about to cry, Brooke looks like she wants to throw up, and the banner comes around and it&#8217;s BROOKE! Nice job editing team &#8211; I totally thought it&#8217;d be Christa! But nope, it&#8217;s Brooke and after a tearful goodbye to Christa, she and Matt ride off into the sunset on that red tractor.<\/p>\n<p>Buddy TV reports that Brooke and Matt are still together, that they haven&#8217;t been able to be seen in public this whole time so aren&#8217;t getting married tomorrow or anything. Brooke is moving out there to be near him in a few days, and they&#8217;ll date and see where it takes them.
