Location: stray dump capital of the world | I'm still trying to figure out which parts of it are so "not real"?
I'm just tossing this out there, but I'm thinking Darcy's lips and boobs. That said, kuddos to her abililty to drive that huge rig. I also think her son should be grounded for life for hurting his mother's feelings.

| cavyrunsbarrels - 2013-12-27 5:59 PM I still hate the show. The girls are annoying and it seems really really really fake, but they aren't as trashy as I originally thought them to be. But I can tolerate that. They aren't the real problem.
No, the real problem is the moron(s) in charge of editing the show. WHY CAN THEY NOT SHOW AN ENTIRE RUN? It's a few seconds long and hacking it up with slow-mo and crappy camera angles really destroys every run and therefore the entire show. I couldn't care less about the stupid, petty drama. Why would ANYONE want to watch awkward, uncomfortable situations fold out for people? I watch it to see them run, and have been bitterly disappointed with this entire show every time I see it. The people in charge really need to go back to film school.
Try to keep it positive, don't click on the link if you don't enjoy the show. Having said that, I don't think they CAN film the whole runs - TV rights are not free. WPRA and their "show" have rights, as does whomever the PRCA grants rodeo TV rights to, but again, not free. They had a small buget, from what I have read of the show, and I'm sure paying for the rights to a few runs wasn't included, that's why you keep getting a two barrel view. I don't know this for a fact, but it makes sense. |

The WPRA doesn't have anything to do with the WPRA Today show. They just film WPRA events and televise them, WPRA gets more expose, win win for both. So I don't think the WPRA has any copywrite laws that the Rodeo Girls show would be violating by showing the entire run. But I could be wrong. I think they only show parts of the run because not all the parts are worth showing, so they just show the one or two good turns they make and slow motion etc. to make it look more dramatic. |

Maybe I'm thinking of the PRCA then.
IF they can show the whole run and don't, they are silly. I think they needed an editor who has at least been to a barrel race or two. The horn is driving me nuts - lol. |

Now it's the same thing, over & over & over & over. It's boring.
Oh I know, but I still get the giggles when I watch them, old Si cracks me up, even all the reruns  |

WetSaddleBlankets - 2013-12-27 5:18 PM Did you guys see Darcey's shirt she was wearing when barbs husband showed up??? It had like four sponsership patches on it... one was Renew Gold and classic equine... I hope she borrowed and was wearing one of Marvs shirts (Marv is sponsored by Renew Gold).... becasue Darcey is in no way good enough to get sponsors in my opinion.... HA wow...
sponsors can sponsor whoemever they want.
Yep, especially when the sponsors know these girls are going to be on TV! |

Location: Willows, CA | I can shed a little light on the Renew Gold patches. Renew Gold was asked to help with the nutrition of the horses on the show. We were happy to do so. All of the girls could not have been better to work with in this regard. Clearly, it is good exposure for Renew Gold, but, we have also enjoyed working directly with the girls involved. They have shown that whatever else is going on, their horse care has been first rate. As most barrel racers on the road know, whether it is purely for the sport, to make a living, or for a reality show, No horse, no success. |

I don't think she competes. She's just there to help Barb on the road & in turn, she gets Barb's help on her riding. At least that's what they said in the 2nd episode. |

Far as I can tell she is there to help, literally. She is not there to compete. |
