Samantha Riehl's social media shows she may not be on Farmer Wants A Wife season 3 for love like she claims. Samantha came to the ABC reality dating show for farmer John Sansone, a law school student and self-proclaimed urban cowboy living in Missouri. By the end of episode one, Samantha had already become the villain of the show.

Audiences clocked Samantha as the villain among her Farmer Wants A Wife season 3 cast due to her intense nature and self-serving attitude. During the speed dating in episode one, she grilled Farmer John about his definition of loyalty, having claimed earlier that she would leave the show if she didn't like his answer. John liked Samantha immediately and invited her to the farm for their first real date. While on that date, Samantha refused to kiss the farmer, adding to her villain persona. Is Samantha on Farmer Wants A Wife for the right reasons?

Samantha Was Already An Influencer Before Farmer Wants A Wife

Her Videos Have Millions Of Views

Samantha had already amassed quite the TikTok following before she started filming Farmer Wants A Wife season 3. Today, her TikTok has over 860,000 followers. Samantha is a true influencer, as her large following has led to brand deals with Clarins, Target, and L'Oréal Paris. She also posts Day In My Life videos and gives life advice to her followers, as seen in Samantha's TikTok, as shown above.

Of course, it's not unusual for influencers to go on reality dating shows or for dating show contestants to become influencers once the show airs. Becoming an influencer and searching for love are not mutually exclusive. Kelsey Anderson won The Bachelor and remains engaged to Joey Graziadei, and her influencer career is thriving. However, Kelsey wasn't an influencer before she went on a dating show, giving her more credibility when she claimed she was looking for true love.

Becoming an influencer and searching for love are not mutually exclusive.

Samantha, on the other hand, was already building an influencer career. She created a YouTube channel and was posting regularly on TikTok and Instagram. Although Samantha claimed that she would leave Farmer Wants A Wife as soon as she realized she and John weren't a good match, her social media implies otherwise. Samantha was likely on the show to get more followers and grow her career.

Samantha Has Made A Name For Herself On Farmer Wants A Wife

She's John's Front-Runner

Even if Samantha does leave the show early because she and John don't have a strong connection, she's already made a name for herself. Since Samantha is the villain of the show, she's gotten a lot of screen time. She's become one of the most recognizable faces of the season, regardless of how long she stays on the series. Her social media will likely only get more popular as time goes on. Her willingness to leave the season early shows she's not dedicated to developing a connection with John, and was likely only on the show for her career.

Do Samantha And John End Up Together?

They May Not Be A Perfect Match

Unfortunately, it's too early to tell if John and Samantha will end up together. So far, they don't necessarily seem like a great match. Both Samantha and John are leaders who want to be in the driver's seat of the relationship, which could cause tension between them. Fans will have to keep watching to see who Farmer John picks at the end of Farmer Wants A Wife.

Farmer Wants A Wife airs Thursdays at 9pm E.T. on Fox.
