Ultimate Cowboy Showdown

I thought this show would be interesting as we live in the heart of cow and horse country and was hoping it would contain less of the "un"-reality show nonsense common to the genre. Unfortunately, there was more drama than action and the host, seemed totally disinterested in being there. Trace Adkins' performance as a host would cure any insomniac. He would stand there looking bored and talking in such a slow disinterested drawl that you'd think he was being forced to be there. The show had a totally scripted feel to it and some of the horsemanship was truly terrible.

As a native Texan who has worked cutting horses and cows I really enjoy the content. However, cowboys are supposed to be honorable men or women. There is way to much hot shoting (back stabbing) to suit me. I want to see honorable folks win. Make sure the competition is about ability, endurance, and character. To many contestants are scheming how to eliminate other competitors rather than on the qualities I mentioned above. I would also do more informational cuts on cow types and disposition. Would also like to see some cuts on horse type, care, and ownership requirements. Cowboying is a beautiful thing, and good people know that, try and keep it that way. Happy Trails.

I'm no cowboy. I don't have but possibly 2 county albums to my name (and you're right if you doubt they would even qualify as country- it is "western swing guitar". However I have bailed hay, detasseled more corn than most anyone I know, fed cows, climbed silos for feed, culled barn owls, challenged cousins (and lost) to hand onto electric fences, and shoveled many barns. Not a farm-kid, but I've spread manure and flung "Cow Frisbees"! (IYKYK)!

I love this show. The people seem pretty legit, and the cowhands sure seem like the genuine article!

Can't begin to tell you how enjoyable & refreshing a super family friendly (so far) show can be!

I love the variety of rodeo riders, cattle hands, and people from a variety of stations in life are featured in the show.

A breath of fresh country air, Give it a try and see if you like it!

I will warn you that the deep drawl of Trace Atkins is going to get old, but the challenges and the contestants won't. This is a reality show where the people, the competitions, and the price is as real as it gets. What is the best way to make sure you are getting truly real cowboys to apply to your show? Make the reward 50 head of cattle instead of just prize money. This is a competition bringing the best cowboys and ranch hands together to rope, ride, race, and do everything else related to the cattle business. This show gets creative with its challenges and every one is as exciting as the last. I couldn't stop watching this show even though I've never stepped foot on a ranch.

I really enjoyed all of the personalities on the show but Ethan Treadwell is the GOAT
