Toughest Cowboy was an American rodeo competition-based reality television program that followed twelve professional cowboys as they competed in the three professional roughstock rodeo events — bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding in effort to win the Toughest Cowboy championship and the grand prize of a ranch in the American West. Originally created by Jac Sperling and Tommy Joe Lucia, Toughest Cowboy was a combination of athletic competition and personal retrospectives creating a new genre of television, known as “sports drama.” The first broadcast aired April 8, 2007 on the Fox Sports Network (FSN). In 2009, Mark Burnett signed on to produce the series for Spike TV. Whiskey Falls composed the theme song.

  • Toughest Cowboy was an American rodeo competition-based reality television program that followed twelve professional cowboys as they competed in the three professional roughstock rodeo events — bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding in effort to win the Toughest Cowboy championship and the grand prize of a ranch in the American West. Originally created by Jac Sperling and Tommy Joe Lucia, Toughest Cowboy was a combination of athletic competition and personal retrospectives creating a new genre of television, known as “sports drama.” The first broadcast aired April 8, 2007 on the Fox Sports Network (FSN). In 2009, Mark Burnett signed on to produce the series for Spike TV. Whiskey Falls composed the theme song. The show followed a group of twelve professional rodeo cowboys through a series of live rodeo tournaments in which they rode in three different disciplines, whereas in most rodeo competitions, competitors ride in one specific discipline or event. This all-around competition added a significantly higher likelihood of injury. Each week a competitor was eliminated from the competition, until the final four competitors remained. These four final cowboys rode a total of six animals each (two bareback broncs, two saddle broncs and two bulls) during the championship tournament. Throughout the championship round each competitor amassed total ride points, the cowboy with the most total points at the conclusion of the finals was awarded the series championship and grand prize ranch. Toughest Cowboy also used a modified point system based on the standard 8-second qualified ride from traditional rodeo. Rather than scoring a “0” for any ride shorted than eight seconds, Toughest Cowboy competitors were delivered penalty points for the 1/10 of seconds they were short of the full ride mark. Each 1/10 of a second was equal to 1 point. This eliminated the chance of a 0-0 tie between competitors. In addition to the athletic competition, the broadcast included segments outside of the rodeo arena. These segments gave background on the competitors’ lives, most of which included visits to their homes. There were also interviews conducted during the live competition to provide an inside look at the cowboys’ thoughts during the tournament. (en)
