The fact that the woman who has 20 bachelors vying for her affection in the Cmt reality series "Sweet Home Alabama" is not actually an Alabamian says it all. No, 20-year-old Devin Grissom is from Cordova, Tenn., outside Memphis, where she attended a private Christian grade school. The blue-eyed blonde had her moments in the pageant circuit, landing the honor of representing Tennessee for the 2007 Teen Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant, and has modeled. And now, she's a junior at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, a fact that qualifies her to star in "Sweet Home Alabama." She was, after all, discovered on Facebook by producers who were "just looking for a specific type of Southern woman," Grissom told The Tuscaloosa News.
She's a type, all right, sweet but lacking a distinct personality. Having someone so young serve as the countryfied "Bachelorette" is one of many mind-boggling and -numbing decisions made by the showrunners.
