It sounds like a crazy opportunity. I might as well do it while I&#8217;m young.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Each farmer comes from a different corner of the country. Cavanaugh, 22, is based in Solvang, California, where he works alongside his family on a produce farm. Pridemore, 26, hails from Homer, Illinois. He helps run a large-scale, multigenerational corn and soybean operation. Maverick, 35, is from Savannah, Tennessee where he manages a horse and cattle farm after building a career as both a bull rider and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"390\" outstream=\"\"\/><partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" class=\"spacer-large\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>&#8220;Dating five women is not a great thing,&#8221; Maverick said. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of emotions to deal with, a lot of navigation to do. When you&#8217;re getting in the process of having to eliminate, you don&#8217;t want to hurt anybody&#8217;s feelings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Fox show was shot in Music City as well as a racetrack in Maryland. Producers promised there will be a brand-new twist this season.<\/p>\n<p><cta-atoms-container-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/cta\" class=\"spacer-large\"\/><\/p>\n<p>For Cavanaugh, going from farm life to a room filled with women and cameras was a shocking transition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I walked in a barn filled with 27 girls and they&#8217;re all screaming as I&#8217;m walking in,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m like, this is crazy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"600\" outstream=\"\" momentum=\"\"\/>\n<p>Even with the chaos, all three said they focused on staying open and grounded while navigating unfamiliar territory. If their journeys had a soundtrack, Pridemore chose George Strait&#8217;s &#8220;Carried Away,&#8221; Cavanaugh picked Zach Bryan&#8217;s &#8220;Godspeed,&#8221; and Maverick pointed to Brooks &amp; Dunn&#8217;s &#8220;Play Something Country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<partner-inline util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" placement=\"native-article_link\" sizes=\"[[300, 250], [3, 3]]\" min-height=\"250\" fluid=\"\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<p>Host <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/entertainment\/tv\/2026\/03\/25\/kimberly-williams-paisley-on-9-1-1-nashville-and-her-tv-resurgence\/88832251007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kimberly Williams-Paisley<\/a> said that mix of personalities is part of the show&#8217;s appeal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love romance.
