Ultimate Cowboy Showdown

After watching a couple seasons, I have come to a conclusion that the "ultimate cowboy" needs to be more cowboy, less like ranch rodeos. I have seen countless times really great and TRUE cowboys being sent home over ridiculous conclusions. I find this show completely unfair, left in the hands to judge from people that have never truly cowboyed to pay for your next meal. I would like to see this show live up to its actual name, and promote true cowboys talents and ways of life. It's very disappointing and I personally feel it's discouraging and not promoting the true cowboy way of life. People need to see the honest cowboy way, not the weekend warrior way.

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 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.

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

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!
