After the speed dating and group selections in Episode One, each of the four farmers got to choose one lucky lady to have an uninterrupted, 24-hour solo date with before the rest of the group arrived at the farm. For this all-important honor, Farmer Allen chose Cassidy Jo, a sales rep and former beauty pageant contestant who lives in Phoenix, Arizona. So at the start of Episode Two, after a quick tour of the farm, the couple sat down to a homemade dinner in one of Allen’s barns, where they dug into some meatier conversation.
Cassidy Jo wasted no time getting to the point and started by questioning Allen on his former relationships and dating history. The conversation seemed to be flowing smoothly until she asked him why his last serious relationship ended. A clearly flustered Allen stuttered a bit before replying, “Didn’t I tell you I was married? … I was married once before.” Cassidy Jo, obviously shocked by the revelation, replied, “I don’t really believe in divorce.”

From there, the conversation took a tense turn, and Allen explained he had “tried everything” to make the relationship work, and that the divorce ultimately hadn’t been his decision. Somewhat mollified by his explanations, Cassidy Jo eased up, telling the camera that he seemed like he was in a good place and really wanted to find a partner to spend the rest of his life with, so she’d be willing to overlook his previous failed marriage — for now.
