Location: Louisiana |  My husband nearly turned it off bc of the announcers. They kept saying things that are just wrong lol. They don't have their rodeo facts down. And were announcing the wrong hometown/ages/etc for some of the lesser known guys.
For example, they said a header really reached and threw 32.5 foot of rope...a head rope is 30 foot. My husband almost lost it on that one pahahaa. |

I just watched barrels and a lot of their comments were wrong and it drove me crazy. They said Lisa was coming off her 100k win from the American... Sarah Rose won the American this year. They said this was Charmayne's first competitive run since 2004. She ran at the American and rodeo Austin in 2014. There were a few other things and I mean, it wasn't hugely misleading, but it kinda annoyed me. If these are the ELITE of the sport, then the announcers should get their facts straight about them. |

On periscope, the arena announcer said Charmayne was a 3 time world champion. If you're going to get someone wrong about a contestant it really shouldnt be Charmayne and her world championships! lol |

| And they called the barrel pattern a figure 8 in the little box that popped up right before the barrel racing. I thought it was more considered a cloverleaf when described to non rodeo people. I feel like they had a lot of their facts mixed it up. |

| I didn't get to watch. How did it suck? The announcing or the whole thing? I have to fight my boys to watch anything right now because baseball season started and we are Spurs fans, too. If it is not a quality show, then I don't want to bother fighting about it, lol.  |

| I got a chuckle when they were talking about Chayni and Charmayne swats at her horse in the background.  |

Call any other sports and you better do your homework. Didn't sound like these guys did theirs at all. |

Yep, I'm pretty sure it'll be the second go. There were two separate performances. |
