Ultimate Cowboy Showdown

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

Love the concept and the inspiration behind showing how hard the life is!!! Discouraging to watch the cut throat conniving and scheming. Would rather see them progress on merit than through squabbles!!! Would enjoy seeing more about breeds and different seasons. Throwing a challenge should have immediate consequences! I love the scenery and the atmosphere of ranching. I would like to see the birthing / feeding / herd maintaining .... It would be nice to see more camaraderie. I would love to see a follow up on who wins and how they used this life changing opportunity. Cowboy means courage/ honor/ respect / grit/ determination/ no quit attitude.

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 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.
