Cassidy Jo Jacks is vivacious, outgoing and a former Miss Alabama contestant. Her high heels wobble a little when she’s walking a rough country road, but Jacks is ready to try something different as she looks for love.

“I’m kind of over what is out there right now,” Jacks says, talking about the dating scene in the Phoenix area. “And I want to go back to the good old days.”

If that means moving to Tennessee and letting cameras follow her around as she pursues a relationship with a taciturn cattle rancher, so be it.

Jacks, 28, is one of 20 women looking for love on a new reality TV series, “Farmer Wants a Wife.” (“I was born ready to be farmer’s wife,” she says.) Viewers can watch her romantic journey — complete with livestock, chores and intimate moments with rancher Allen Foster — on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. CT on the Fox network.

“Farmer Wants a Wife” made its U.S. debut on March 8, and Jacks was heavily featured during the premiere episode. The second episode of the season airs tonight, and from what we can tell, Jacks gets significant screen time.

“Farmer Wants a Wife,” described as “Yellowstone” meets “The Bachelor,” is based on a British reality series with the same name. The show aired in 2001 and prompted a plethora of spin-offs, including a U.S. version that aired in 2008 on The CW. Fox has revived the concept for 2023, hiring country singer Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland fame) to serve as host.

This time around, the series focuses on four farmers: Allen Foster of Tennessee, Hunter Grayson of Georgia, Ryan Black of North Carolina and Landon Heaton of Oklahoma. Each has selected five women to date, choosing them from an online pool and narrowing the field during the first episode.

Now, in the second episode, the women are traveling to farms and ranches owned by the five men, and will spend six weeks there, getting to know the bachelors and vying for their affections. Each farmer selected one woman to take to his home before the others, for a 24-hour “getting to know you” session.

After an awkward start for Jacks and Foster — she’s ultra-bubbly; he’s quite reserved — the two headed off to his ranch ahead of four other women in his dating group. The rest are set to follow, but first, viewers will see Jacks and Foster try to forge a connection as they settle into his rural home.

Jacks and Foster are just one aspect of the series, of course. “Farmer Wants a Wife” is dividing its airtime among four bachelors romancing 20 marriage prospects, and the interactions between the women are sure to be a factor. Viewers in Alabama, however, are likely to be focused on homegirl Jacks.

She grew up in Springville, according to her Facebook page, and graduated from the University of Alabama in 2016, per LinkedIn. (She majored in public relations and communication studies.)

Jacks won several local pageants in Alabama, and competed for Miss Alabama as Miss Tuscaloosa in 2014, Miss Metropolitan in 2015, Miss Trussville in 2016 and Miss Iron City in 2017. As a Miss Alabama contestant, Jacks’ talent was singing, and her philanthropic platform was “Feed a Soul, Fill a Heart,” an effort to feed the hungry and stop food insecurity.

After moving to Arizona in 2017, Jacks competed for Miss Arizona USA in 2021 and won the crown. She also competed for Miss USA that year.

“I would not say that I am what most people envision when they see the crown,” Jacks said during an interview with Images Arizona. “Just because I have to present myself a certain way does not mean that I do not get down and dirty. It is good to show versatility.”

Jacks works in medical sales in Scottsdale, Arizona, according to “Farmer Wants a Wife,” and her LinkedIn profile lists her as an account executive at LabCorp. Based on previews for the TV series, her willingness to “get down and dirty” will be a plus on the show, as the women ride horses, clean out barns, rope cattle and more.

Will Jacks enjoy ranch life and find her inner cowgirl? Will “Farmer Allen” end up on one knee, proposing to his Alabama love? We’ve got several episodes to go before the finale, so stay tuned.

IF YOU WATCH: “Farmer Wants a Wife” airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. CT on Fox.
