After a tense dinner, Stacey, 28, pulled farmer Harry aside for a one-on-one conversation to explain why she was feeling upset.
‘You know, I’ve just had enough. I’m just exhausted. Tough today. This is just a hard situation to be in,’ she told Harry.
Affectionately stroking her hand, Harry urged Stacey to open up to him, as she broke down and cried.
‘It’s not a normal environment we’re in, where you’re dating someone and you take them home to meet your family,’ she later explained.
‘Like, you’re not the only one there, are you.’

Stacey confessed ‘it always feels like a competition’, and said she struggled being pitted against Madison Mackenzie while meeting Harry’s family earlier on in the day.

Despite enjoying an intimate date earlier on in the episode, during which Harry told Stacey he could see a future with her, things took a turn when they visited his family.
After meeting with both Stacey and Madison, 24, Harry’s three sisters told him that he seemed ‘bedazzled’ by Stacey and urged him to give Madison a chance, too.
‘I’m definitely going to be a lot more open to Mads. I probably was being a bit blindsided and sturdy on Stacey,’ Harry later admitted.
Farmer Wants a Wife continues on Channel Seven on Sunday at 7 pm.
