Though fans may not have been overly welcoming to the new cast of hard-partying Southerners on CMT's newest show, Party Down South 2, but the new guys may be worth a second look after all.

The new cast seems to have a lot in common with their predecessors from the original show-and fans could wind up falling as much in love with them as they did Murray, Lyle, Daddy, Walt, Lauren, Mattie, Tiffany and former cast member Lil Bit.

With that in mind, Enstars compiled a few quick facts about each member of the new cast that fans should know before getting better acquainted with them on the show. So here are our five fun facts about Michael Duke (by the way, he really reminds us of Walt-so it's safe to assume that lots of women will soon develop pretty big crushes on him).

1. He's just a good ol' country boy from the South

Though he may like some of the activities those not from the South consider to be redneck in nature, he is far from a redneck according to a pre-season "Meet the Cast" video from CMT. "I'm just a good, down-to-earth, country boy," he says.

2. He does enjoy going mudding

And he likes to make sure he's ready to go when the time comes with an impressive ride

3. Like Tommy Theis, he's a firefighter Also like his co-star (who is more vocal about being involved with his fire department), he has a tattoo devoted to it on his arm with the phrase "First In...Last Out."

4. He met Thomas Rhett

The cast also recently reunited in Nashville for some promotional work before the show, but he wasn't able to stay as long because of the flight schedules. But his having to leave early did give him the chance to run into the Make Me Wanna country singer.

5. He's Single According to Ashton, Duke is currently unattached, so if any women do start developing crushes on him, they won't need to feel guilty about it later.

Party Down South 2 premieres Thursday, Nov. 20 at 9 p.m. on CMT.
