On his official "Bachelorette" bio on ABC's website, Garrett says he has a horseshoe tattooed on his left arm and admires his Mamaw, who lived during The Great Depression.

Were he to be trapped upon the proverbial deserted island, Garrett says he'd need "A hook, the right girl and a fire source" to survive and that he would not tolerate it if his island included "Sand gnats!"

Garrett, who used seven exclamation points in answering the nine-question survey, claims to be a "'pleaser' under wraps" who has played "nearly every venue" in Music City.
