Eleven city slickers and eleven country guys will try to win the love of a lucky bachelorette. The 22 men will live together in the same house in Fairhope, Ala.

Johnson has been cutting trees ever since he was young. He has a pet raccoon named Meeka, who he rescued recently while cutting down a tree. Johnson tells show producers that he likes country girls that are competitive, outdoorsy, feisty and have a “big ole’ butt.”
