A young Memphis woman is the object of affection for 20 suitors on the new CMT reality dating show "Sweet Home Alabama." Devin Grissom, a 20-year-old student at the University of Alabama, tells Tuscaloosa News that she didn't actually pursue the opportunity but was noticed on Facebook."Apparently, they had sent out casting calls and casting agents to Alabama to look for girls for this part, and I had never even heard about it," Grissom said. "All of a sudden, I get a Facebook message that said 'We think you'd be really great for this, can we call you?' "The 20 hopefuls comprise both country and big-city types, which is part of the show's premise, said Grissom, who hopes to pursue a career in pro sports PR.
"It's a "Bachelorette"-type dating show and the premise is based on the movie "Sweet Home Alabama" (starring Reese Witherspoon) because I'm having to choose between the country and the big city," Grissom said.The show premieres at 8 p.m. CDT next Thursday, July 14.
