Toughest Cowboy

Genre: Sports Related, Rodeo

Premise: ''Survivor'' creator Mark Burnett takes the reins of this reality competition series as it moves to Spike for its third season, adding personal back stories to the pure action segments, as 12 cowboys show their grit competing for the title of ''Toughest Cowboy,'' as well as a deed to their own Rocky Mountain ranch in Wyoming. Although traditional rodeos feature cowboys specializing in a single event, these cowpokes compete in three different events -- bareback, bull and saddle bronc riding -- during a seven-city tour.
