Watch Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge

Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge was a reality television show that aired on Country Music Television in 2007. The show pitted six celebrities against each other in a bull riding competition, with the winner taking home a $50,000 prize for their chosen charity. The celebrities included actor Francesco Quinn, musician Leif Garrett, actor Danny Lee Clark, rapper Vanilla Ice, and reality TV stars Jonny Fairplay and Stephen Baldwin.

The format of the show was straightforward. Each episode would feature the six celebrities competing in two rounds of bull riding. In the first round, each celebrity would attempt to ride a bull for eight seconds, with the scores being determined by a panel of judges. The two celebrities with the lowest scores would then face off in a "redemption round," with the winner advancing to the second round.

In the second round, the remaining celebrities would once again attempt to ride a bull for eight seconds, with the scores being added to their first-round scores. The celebrity with the highest combined score would be crowned the winner of the episode and would move on to the finals.

Throughout the show, host Ty Murray provided commentary and insight into the world of bull riding. Murray, a retired bull rider who won seven world championships during his career, also provided tips and advice to the celebrity competitors.

One of the most memorable moments of the show came in the first episode when Vanilla Ice managed to ride his bull for the full eight seconds. The rapper, who had never ridden a bull before, impressed both the judges and the other competitors with his performance. However, Vanilla Ice's luck would run out in the second round, where he was bucked off his bull early.

Another standout performance came from Danny Lee Clark, who had previously performed his own stunts on the TV show "The Fall Guy." Clark managed to ride his bull for the full eight seconds in both rounds, earning him the highest score of the episode and a spot in the finals.

While the celebrities were all game to try their hand at bull riding, it was clear that some were more comfortable than others. Francesco Quinn struggled in both rounds, and Leif Garrett was bucked off his bull in the first round, but managed to earn a spot in the finals via the redemption round.

The finals saw Danny Lee Clark, Vanilla Ice, and Jonny Fairplay battling it out for the $50,000 prize. Despite a valiant effort, Vanilla Ice was once again bucked off his bull early, leaving Clark and Fairplay to face off in the final ride. In the end, it was Jonny Fairplay who emerged victorious, riding his bull for the full eight seconds and earning the $50,000 prize for his chosen charity.

While the show only ran for six episodes, it was an entertaining and unique look into the world of bull riding. The celebrities were all good sports and seemed to genuinely enjoy the experience, even if they were a bit out of their element. Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge was a fun and lighthearted addition to the reality TV landscape, and one that provided plenty of thrills and spills along the way.
