I loved it too! There are some that are criticizing some of the rodeo, but really, they only had 6 months and it's the first year. It's only going to get better. A place to go see the best of the best and the "non top 10" go at it. And to give ANYONE a chance to walk the walk, I love it.

Now when people run their mouths about how they could do it better it is put up or shut up.

TyE - 2014-03-04 12:40 PM I thought she did a great job too, but in the pre game show Stran looked really uncomfortable when she was speaking, he kept glancing sideways at Jennifer with a weird look. I just thought it was strange............
I can tell you why - Jennifer kept interrupting her.  Jennifer I was not so impressed with.  



The more I listened to Fallon - I really like her. 

I saw him doing the same thing... I also felt Jennifer was a little "over eager" to talk.. not just when Fallon was on.

Thumbs up to Fallon.  She did an awesome job!

I agree, she was excellent. What really bugged me is the replays kept cutting off the beginning of the next run, so there were several riders where we didn't get to see their first barrel unless they showed a replay.
Other than that, it was very entertaining to watch and I thought it was so awesome to see not only the legends in each event, but also people who are truly good at what they do, but don't have the time or means to rodeo as hard as the pros. This was such a cool idea, I hope they keep it going!

I thought she did a great job! She did a great job of being right in the moment and kept it interesting. I really liked how positive she was in everything that she had to say. She also kept it real - she voiced for a lot of us how we hated to see those barrels fall in the shootout. She made it even more fun to watch and made you feel like you were part of the excitement that day.

I agree she did awesome! We got home late last night and I just watched it on the DVR and I thought the whole time that she was a natural at it. I guess I didn't tape the pre-show though :( bummer. My husband and I had a wonderful time! The only thing that wasn't fun was the weather, it was 80 degrees and sunny Saturday and then freezing and sleeting Sunday!

A door has opened for her and I hope she takes it and closes the door that has made her a villian. Like someone else said.."I hope she starts doing this and quits selling horses so we can all like her again."

ACEINTHEHOLE - 2014-03-04 1:28 PM When I saw her, I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical because I am not her biggest fan... But she did win me over, she did a great job commentating!!! 

great job all around- also for the whole rodeo-

Hubby and I both said that we believe she missed her calling. She was great at commentating. We only HEARD the live running of the barrels, since we were on the interstate headed south from Pittsburgh and the webcast wouldn't load, but I enjoyed it.

And I'll admit, I was skeptical of her being up there. I wonder how she felt when the guy mentioned she was one spot out of the NFR standings to qualify AND one spot out of the qualifier results to qualify. I was hoping she would punch him or at least say "At least I made the effort loser face". LOL

I thought she was really good also, good insight, obviously comfortable with the camera and a mic both and off the cuff commentating. I think the NFR will have to step it up!!! And Florida heck, I say if the NFR moves TX and ATT&T stadium looks pretty inviting.

I agree with everyone! Fallon did a great job commenting and I was way more excited to watch the American than I was watching my beloved Seahawks take home a superbowl win!

I believe the sky is the limit with this event and it will only encourage NFR and other top rodeos to step up their game.

Fallon did an excellent job.  My step dad called during the semi's and said she bugged the crap out of him because she kept saying the same thing over and over.  First of all this man complains about EVERYTHING!  Secondly, I told him that she's not a business woman I'd want to deal with but she sure as heck did a nice job commentating.  I like the guys during the NFR but when every tipped barrel was because they "dropped their shoulder" and it didn't matter if the girls hit it giong in or coming out or hitting it front on.  That was the only barrel racing terminology they knew and it drove me nuts.  Fallon called each error as it was and was 100% correct.  When Stingray didn't clock she didn't knock the horse or rider at all she just said that the horses that go to 60 rodeos a year learn to conserve themselves for the avg.  I thought she did an awesome job.  I don't remember now who it was but someone tipped the 3rd and she was about crying for that rider.  My daughter and I re-wound that DVR a few times to listen to her, she took it to heart. 
I still wouldn't buy a horse from her but I would let her critique my runs and let me wear her tie dye pants.  The end.

Exactly...Fallon tried to mention her concern of the alley being short, and Jennifer cut her off...no idea why???? 
I really wanted to hear about Fallon's legitimate concern..otherwise I enjoyed Jennifer and Stran.

I was gone and haven't had the time to watch the pre show.  It sounds like I should do that tonight.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Jennifer cutting her off multiple times... How awkward haha.

I really hated the alley situation for them!  I know the pros can handle anything, but I certainly would be worried about that alley!

I think her best comment about the alley was in the booth when she said, "They put up a banner, which is good, because I was worried that someone was going to get a barrel racer in their nachos." (or something similar). Even Ty laughed at that.
