What's the Story?

This CMT reality show trains its cameras on the lives of four spirited TEXAS WOMEN living large in the Lone Star State: Anna, a stock contractor; Hannah, a party girl; Brooke, a barrel racer; and Ali, a country singer. Anna and Hannah are living together for the first time, and Brooke is the only married one of the bunch.

The creators of Texas Women could have blazed a brand-new trail by spotlighting strong Southern women with unconventional careers -- well, "unconventional," at least, to most city slickers.

Instead, it drags out the overdone drama of extreme personalities and booze-fueled catfights, revealing these women to be no different than any of the Real Housewives we know and tolerate.

  • Do these women break new ground when it comes to the way women are portrayed on television? In what ways does the show reinforce negative stereotypes about women?

  • Do these shows reflect the real way women interact? Do any of the scenarios seem staged or produced? How can you tell?
