'Gone Country' Season 1 cast to reunite

In preparation of CMT's second season of its hit series Gone Country, the cast from the first season will reunite in a special that will air on Fri., Aug. 8. The following is a synopsis of the special from CMT.com:

After all the dust has settled, country superstar John Rich has gotten the original Gone Country cast to come back together for a rollicking Nashville reunion to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of one of CMT's highest rated shows ever. The cast -- Julio Iglesias Jr., Diana DeGarmo, Carnie Wilson, Sisqo, Dee Snider, Maureen McCormick and, of course, bad boy Bobby Brown -- reminisce about their wild time in Tennessee and let us know where they are now. They recall the highs and lows of season one and reveal plenty of great lost footage that didn't make the final cut. It all leads up to the former housemates dishing the dirt on how they really feel about Julio Iglesias Jr. winning.

The reunion special will air at 10 p.m., immediately following the premiere of the second season.
