In season 3 of Fox’s ‘Farmer Wants a Wife,’ Colton Hendricks had picked five ladies to bring back to his farm, among whom was Keeley Goldberg. In the beginning, she and the farmer struggled to connect and often found it hard to open up to each other. However, as the show progressed, so did their bond. However, it was not until episode 8, after a group camping trip, that things took a surprising turn. Colton realized that he and Keeley had not shared much one-on-one time and chose her to be his final solo date. They both started opening up and shared a deep conversation. Ultimately, she became one of the two final ladies to reach the decision day. However, in the end, the farmer chose Zoe after following his heart. He explained to Keeley that he could not give her everything she wanted.
