Every Week on CMT’s new reality show Gone Country, a motley mix of Nashville misfits try to make it big on the Chesney tip. We’ll be watching (and chuckling):

Thirty Minutes of Kentucky Fried Reality in Five Sentences: Bobby Brown passes his time at John Rich’s gorgeous estate by drinking way too much, sending him into a unshakable hangover on the first day of competition and forcing him to miss the guitar-smashing exercise (how country is that!). The other six contestants travel to the supermarket to pick up ingredients so they can cook for Rich’s grandma. How playing Iron Chef is going to turn Sisqo into Cowboy Troy is beyond us. Rich alerts our magnificent seven that they have to perform in front of a packed Nashville club, who later bear witness to Sisqo performing a country-friend version of “Thong Song” and Brown singing “My Prerogative.”

The Honky-Tonkin’ Highlights: The funniest moment this week is awarded to CMT’s commercials for My Big Redneck Wedding, which looks like the greatest show ever, or at least the best show since Dateline started busting child molesters. CMT, where have you been all our lives?

The Grand Ol’ Finale: Foreshadowing the show’s most interesting subplot, tempers flared between Bobby Brown and Dee Snider after the spotlight-hogging Brown hopped onstage and started singing background vocals during Snider’s rousing performance of Twisted Sister’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It.” To quote John Rich, “For a minute there, it looked like they were going to slug each other in the jaw.” Late-night fisticuffs at a Tennessee saloon? Sounds like Snider and Brown have definitely “gone country.” Alas, Snider miraculously kept his cool, but still angrily threw his microphone down while leaving the stage. Be sure to tune in next week, when Bobby Brown farts on Carnie Wilson. And no, we’re not making that up.
