Ridge Em Petrova

Grab the popcorn-someone is about to get slapped or kicked on this episode of Rope 'n Ride. The season finale of the Calhouns' rodeo reality show ends with Ridge being stood up by the woman he loves and humiliated on national TV. If that isn't bad enough, an old knee injury has him wincing every time he gets on the back of a bronco, making it difficult to put winning scores up on the board. But he's determined to shake off his streak of bad luck-and all these marriage proposals from fans pouring in now that the show has aired. Kashley grew up with the Calhouns, playing hide and seek in the cornfields while their fathers talked ranching. And she's been in love with Ridge...well, forever. He's never noticed and she's too shy to make any attempts, but when she sees him struggling after his breakup, coming to his aid is a no-brainer. Which lands her on a whirlwind tour of rodeos, where she's falling more for him while struggling to rein in his self-destructive behavior. The cameras love to catch Ridge losing his cool, his family is riding him to cut it out and he can't keep his eyes-or every other body part off Kashley. Then a secret is revealed that has him going after her ex even as his own ex pops into his life again. Between the drama, his old injury and Wranglers that fit too tight after being around the woman he shouldn't toy with, Ridge is fed up. Plus he couldn't be in love again so soon, right?
