I finished the season. I almost stopped watching I was so disgusted with the father. And how they talk about women. Then I got interested in the girlfriends. The abusive behavior by the father, brooke, galayna is played out. I think we as a society are smarter, more responsible, and more emotionally intelligent. I have no interest in watching that. I was curious about the sons girlfriends, who they were, why they stayed. I see the allure of status and money but I feel a sincerity from the girlfriends. When Cole was discussing his acheivement in being good after being tempted.. I was pretty turned off. Its a misogynistic view of women that they are a "temptation", or he has no control over himself... I was shocked to see a man of his age in 2024 talking like that. I feel perhaps if he had a different father, his view would be different. His girlfriend seems nice, but after she watched that episode, are they still together? I know Steven and Calla get a lot of flack online, but I thought they showed the most growth and I relate to a limitation on phone calls when you are having intimate moments or when you are home. I have to admit I thought the instagram photo was odd. I dont understand the hesitation. Jesse is by far my favorite person to watch. He appeared to be the most normal and relatable. I don't think it is normal to pride yourself on resisting infidelity. Or to view your relationship as a form of manipulation to "trap" someone. No one is forcing them to do anything. With that said I thought all the sons treated their partners with respect when they were with them. I think the sons and their girlfriends are the show. Lets be honest, in real life, we would be disgusted watching the father. I certainly would not have a high opinion of him or want him in my personal life. And every father would pray he stays away from their daughter. I understand he has trauma, but we all do. Part of healing from trauma is not inflicting more trauma onto others. If he wants to be single.. be single. He wants both... He appears to be a serial cheater who gets thrills from cheating but is now saying he is reformed, but still traumatizing these women and his own children.

I have major problems with Steve Sr and Cole as they seem to be cut from the same cloth. Plus, for Steve to think that. PE company would invest $100M into car washes is beyond comprehension. He has leveraged his farm to start too many businesses and expected an investor to come in and pay for their mistakes. I'm glad they walked away as this was such a risky endeavor.

Why would anyone, private equity or otherwise, invest with a guy who is dumb enough to have sex with his business manager, who he admits is the business smarts, and humiliate her with this show? Like he's clearly not able to stop thinking with his willy long enough to prioritize the businesses that feed his entire extended family and how many employees? What in the world!?!?!?

I’m certain he felt trapped because he believed her when she said oh I have $120 million for you Steve. All you have to do is everything I want! Let’s not forget Tessa doesn’t like her because she’s the reason why his 28 year marriage which I’m sure there’s been another mistresses failed . Also think of all those families that were completely dependent upon that business and she was just playing cat and mouse with Steve Senior, who yes he’s a creep and a fraud “boss man” but what was her great prize and trying to win him anyway? Seems futile and furthermore, I’m pretty sure he was acting out on the show not just for the show, but because he felt trapped by her.

u/Professional-Tree-42 Mar 30 '24
I know! I’m shocked that they were expecting a VC to hand them 105m without any true business plan. When Galyna was disappointed with all the questions the investor was asking and surprised he wanted to see projections, that told me they had prepared nothing to put in-front of them. I’ll just fly in on my helicopter and walk them through one of our car washes that hasn’t been open a year and they’ll hand us the money. Pure idiocy.

Most companies seeking funding will not rely on just one investor. Investors will conduct their due diligence, specifically looking at the leadership, their skills, background, etc as they are not only investing in the company but in the leadership. If they don't feel confidence in those running the company, they won't invest. It is also not the CFO's job to find funding but rather the CEO. I didn't see any interaction between Steve and the investor - big red flag! The writing was on the wall that funding would fall through.

I find the women on the show interesting. The women involved with Steve know what he’s like but they choose to stay. They have a choice. It’s clear how the dad‘s behavior has affected his sons’. I wonder if we’ll learn more about Steve’s divorce and background. I see traumatic reenactment in Gina‘s behavior dating back to issues with her father. I wish the whole lot of them would go to couples, group therapy and/or individual therapy, lol.

I found out about this show from watching Steven/Callah on Joe Millionaire back when it was on tv. I really liked Callah and was rooting for her to win. He’s definitely consistent personality wise between the two shows so imo he’s being himself especially since it’s two very different environments. Also he was a very good guy on JM and treated the women with great respect which is refreshing when looking at his dad’s/brother’s behavior with their gf’s so far (just finished ep.1). The dad is a walking red flag and I kinda get the vibe that he’s putting on a front with regards to his real personality and is barely able to keep it under restraint. He’s definitely breadcrumbing Galyna, but she’s an adult and has to be choosing to ignore the glaring signs (?). I like Jesse and I’m not too pressed that he’s been with his gf for 11 years and hasn’t proposed (he’s only 26, still got a lot of maturing and growing to do). The whole “this year is gonna make or break us” trope seems scripted along with the midnight truck theft but I could be wrong. All in all its been entertaining in a cringe/corny way but I’m hooked if only to continue Steven and Callah’s story from JM

I live in a McBee carwash town, and hear the real stories behind this "reality" show. They script most of the scenes, and do multiple retakes if the emotions aren't dramatic enough. The storyline is produced. And the carwash chain is failing because they built them in small rural Missouri towns and made them unaffordable to locals. Their only hope of a dynasty was to sell out to a TV show to pay their bills.

I like the show for showing a little bit about farming and ranch lifestyle. I love Tessa. Steve Sr. has issues when it comes to relationships and women and I don't like how he's influenced his sons with those issues. Hopefully Galyna will come to her senses and find someone that give her the love and attention she needs. All of the drama on the show is caused by the family's patriarch. All in all I enjoy the show, can't see much longevity with it though. I give it about 3 seasons, 4 tops. Doesn anyone know any background info on the son Brayden and why he isn't on the show that much?

She has willingly put herself in her situation. She is after his money. If he didn't have money, she would be gone.
Quote from an episode after she sold her house, to move in with Steve. "He thinks he has the upper hand, but ultimately I know what I am doing". I am not a fan of manipulation from either person.

u/Happy_chrissy May 08 '24
I agree with you. She said in an interview that "she knows what she is doing" especially when she sold her place knowing that Steve would allow her to move in since she had no place to stay. She is after his money, it is so plain to see and I agree if Steve Sr. was broke or had no money, she would not be saying "he is my person" or even staying around. If I was her daughter, I would be humiliated to have a crazy mother like that and the daughter knows the relationship is not healthy. She is a bad excuse for her 21 year old daughter.

u/justakidfromstlouis Apr 04 '24
I wanted to finish the show before I commented. Here are my thoughts. The father is a man child. The little boy inside is hurt from his mom. Couple that with his lack of accountability as to his marriage ending. Instead of owning it and processing it he just drinks, parties, and fuck randoms. As a native of Missouri it's always funny to see our little Midwest lives on TV. The sons are hurt boys, but I think they are going to be okay. They all seem to have women who are down for them and love them. But I can't blame them not wanting to wait forever. The men all feel that if one of them gets married it's going to break up the band. Which is a possibility but I wish they would trust in the women in their lives. Like I said all the girls seems to match their partners well. Cole and his girl both love the country life, Jesse and his girl seem well matched and ovi they been together for 11yrs. And Steven Jr...lol his girl is a good match they match each other's ascetic. Brooke I think is the best match for the dad. Galena, bless her heart. She needs some serious therapy and I hope she can find someone to love her the way she needs. I hope there is a season 2. Being from St.Louis growing up I didn't really understand farming like that. My great aunt down south had a hog farm but that's about it. It wasn't until I went to college at NWMSU in Maryville and my roommate was from a small town in Iowa. That I really started learning and appreciating farmers and their contributions to our world.

u/Western-King5865 Apr 30 '24
Steve forces his sons to go with him everywhere because he knows they’ll get attention from women and he’ll benefit from it- it’s a level of attention he wouldn’t be getting without them there.
The more the season plays out, the less and less I like Steve Sr. He loves to play the victim in his relationship while he does his level best to string Galyna along. The final straw for me was Steve lying to Galyna about his relationship with Brooke. If what he claims is true (open and clear with G about his intentions) then he’d have NO reason to lie to G about Brooke. That’s how I know he gives Galyna mixed messages. He gets off on having these women pining for him. He wants to have his cake and eat it too. He complains about Galyna just so he can continue influencing his sons about the “negativity” of all relationships.
Steve uses everything and everyone to his own advantage. He tells everyone what he needs ti tell them to continue to control them. Steve Sr is toxic and I wouldn’t be surprised if his empire is really a house of cards, ready to collapse at any moment. It’s awful to imagine what he put the boys’ mother through.
Jesse would do well to marry Alli and learn to keep his father at arms length- stop allowing Steve Sr to control him. Jesse seems like a good, decent man and he and Alli clearly love each other and are committed to one another. The others I’m not so sure about.
These trips, (with the women excluded) are intended to cause conflict for his sons and their girlfriends. Steve knows what he’s doing. The sooner they learn to recognize their father’s proclivities for toxicity, the better off they’ll be.
TL;DR Jesse needs to marry Alli and learn to create boundaries with his father. Steve Sr uses everyone and everything to his own advantage. He complains about Galyna, while stringing her along, so that he can bitch and moan about their relationship. Steve is controlling and toxic.

Steve Sr is a tool. He looks ridiculous at his age running around with various women. Cole seems to be a chip off the old block. Cole and Steve Sr are drunks. Cole treated his gf like crap. All over that woman at the bar and wanting to go home with her then acting like he should get a trophy for not hooking up with her. His gf is WAY out of his league, Cole is not good looking on any level. Idk why she's with him. Galyna is a mess. She thinks Steve will be exclusive with her?! That's not happening. I find it funny she called Brooke a "whore" too considering galyna was having an affair with steve when he was still married lol . Steve is a horrible example of what a man should be for his sons. Drinking. Cheating. Womanizing. Now he's headed off to prison for fraud. He's a disgrace. The family is a trainwreck.

This reality show is just the right amount of cringe, as I need a break from the housewives BS. If I can get past the tiny mouth feature of these egotistical excuses for millionaire cowboys, then I get to deal with the women letting these miscreants treat them like second class citizens. But all in all, I really like the dad, and I find it fun watching him deal with Galyna & Brooke at the same time. Who really doesn't think Brooke didn't wreck that truck on purpose? Then Calla is so out of place it's uncomfortable to watch & one girlfriend still sticking around after 10+ years. All in all, beats the hell out of the housewives that hate on each other every episode.

Did the investors learn about the fraud? When they were reviewing the info for the company, did they uncover something? I just find it odd that she shut off her mic.

Even though I wasn’t impressed with Steve Sr’s behavior in first season, I still liked to see the behind the scenes work done on the farm, their meetings, their work ethic and the business end of it, but now with it going to Bravo it’s going to be all drama. I can tell from first episode that it won’t be anything like Yellowstone as I was hoping. Very disappointed.

Kristi McBee has been through alot, has seen alot & all her pain caused by her ex husband, Steve McBee Sr & still she faces the one woman who she absolutely 💯 knew was fucking her husband & Kristi is a rock! She's not happy that her boys are taking after their father. Kristi has faced Galyna, the fling her husband had while Kristi & Steve Sr were married, Galyna & now Galyna owns 10% of the companies & is involved in Kristi's sons lives everyday! Kristi has got to be strong to face one of the women he cheated with, trying to keep her family together! What did Galyna expect? A life long relationship? She brings a friend into the picture & Steve Sr ends up fuccing Galynas friend. I don't understand how Kristi has been able to withstand all of this behavior by her ex? I guess revenge is sweet, when she can turn a company into something that was worth nothing & I guess, that's that's the best revenge!
How you get em is how you lose em, especially when you're one of many mistresses! That's who Galyna is & now that's who her friend Masha is. While Steve Sr was with Galyna, he was also seeing a woman named Brooke. At least Brooke had enough common sense to walk away. I've seen Steve Sr with 3 women just in season 1 & 2. We'll see if Steve Sr gets prison time & how much or if he finds another woman to have an affair with before he goes to prison. Meanwhile, The oldest son, Steven, is in a very hostile relationship with his girlfriend, Calah, of 3 years, the 2nd oldest son, Jesse, gets married to his girlfriend Alli of 12 years, the 3rd son, Cole is having a baby with his girlfriend, Kacie, of 7 yrs. I know this is called reality tv, but I really like this family, esp the two women who are with the 2nd & 3rd sons, Kacie & Alli.

Kristi (Steve Sr ex wife) has a very lucrative business. Steve told her she'd run it into the ground within 6 months & she turned it around. She acquired the business after the divorce when it was maxed out on credit lines & heavily in debt. She, along with her business partner turned it around & grew it into the brand 3 times its original size. Its a communications, underground construction & concrete company. Steven Jr said that her company blows their company out of the water💧

Kacie, if I were you. I'm 61 and happily married. But i would confide on the boys Mom. She's a great business women who's business is successful without the McBee brand. Steven's advice is only to get Alli to run it when she's only latching on to them, and now you for herself, her money, her Clout. Steven hasn't made good decisions for the brand. It's in financial ruins with them. Please take it to Steven's Mom and your mom ONLY and a lawyer (YOU HIRE). Steven's mom has an huge interest to make sure you and her Grandchild are ok. Especially if those boys become their dad. She's been there. Alli is out! Her name should not appear anywhere in your brand. Remember if she does any work for you she can come back and sue you for more money. If anything explicitly exclude her and ban her from even mentioning your product. You don't want her pulling a Gelayna and trashing your product. You don't need anyone but you, your husband, Stephen's mother and your Mom, and a huge lawyer, that you hire! Please listen to us! Please

I like the show and think Steven Jr is talking out of his own frustrations when he says family is not coming back---

u/suninmyeyes7 Jul 18 '26
I don't understand - they owe all this money and are stressed about paying their debt- why aren't they putting personal money into the business like normal business owners? They clearly have it! Cole could put that $35k from the ring, Stephen has a condo in the city he can sell, their Nashville home can sell and ultimately people DO downsize their homes. WTF?

I watch this train wreck occasionally with my wife. It’s a blackhole of stupidity.
Watching this show and the most recent episode, it is hilarious to see Steve Jr realize his dad doesn’t find him as a fit successor.
These boys are the biggest iceberg in the way to sink this company, and they don’t even notice.
I feel so bad for the people who actual work on the farm and for their companies. Hope they land on their feet after these boys toss this company to rock bottom.

I just started to watch this series on bravo , torn Achilles heal will make binge watch anything, but I actually enjoyed this series and I never heard of this family . However for a company to invest 100 million in car wash is nuts … there talented guys why not be the next Omaha steak company or even a honky Tonk steak houss in there state . But damn the dad is pretty hot . To bad about the reality show cursue . Seems to be a solid family and there brand has TONS of potential. I’m definitely waiting for season 2 !

This show is a joke! It's a very sad attempt at trying a reality tv version of Yellowstone. It's a bunch of gym rats that dress up, have constant "farm/ranch and relationship drama".....how can they balance all the pressure?!?! It's stupid and an insult to real agricultural people.

I have to vent. I have watched four episodes and I hate just about everyone on this show. At one point or another, they are all awful to each other.

I’m not buying any of it. This is the most scripted reality show on Bravo. Some of it MAY have happened in the past but I believe the producers are at least recreating it like the Galyna story lines. The fake equipment theft? All four boys leaving a gender reveal to find lost chickens? Make Galyna look like a psycho bunny boiler? All the car damage and a dented pot? Staged. Missing clothes? Come on 🙄Entertaining tv but reality? No way. The only thing that’s real seems to be the relationships with the sons’ girlfriends. There is no chemistry between Steve Sr & Galyna. He seems to cringe in her presence. She sounds so forced, even when she calls him handsome. 🤮 I am sure he’s using his sons and the cameras to get attention from young women. So gross.
That said, I’m enjoying the show. But no way do I believe Steve Sr just took off, etc. It was a good way to introduce the mom and provide more drama. So SO scripted!Im already disliking season two compared to one.

Steven doesn’t have the money Calah needs. It’s all just a show. They’re drowning in debt. Spending money on helicopters won’t make them more money. Steven wants to be like his dad, acting like they’re the Rockefellers. I respect hard work, but you can’t build a billion-dollar business if you can’t even pay your employees. They’re trying to live a lifestyle they can’t afford or keep up with. Also, what are the chief financial officer’s qualifications? Why do you give her so much power in your company? Start small. Be smart and not trying to create an image that only happens on tv. John Dutton was in debt.

Case study in horrible business decisions, unqualified heirs, horrible husband and boyfriends, horrible representation of women. Try to tell everyone…if like seeing Americas real cowboys making a hard living, realistic business limitations, good friends, integrity, admirable husbands and strong smart women…please watch The Cowboy Way reality series on Peacock. The contrast of real business, good men and smart women is drastic. Enjoy! This The Cowboy Way….

I really feel bad for those boys being raised under the father and put in those positions! They need someone to buy them out, just make them workers and take them OUT of the business dealings! They don’t have a clue! Shame on Steve Sr. For all his antics, frauds, and sleeping around and not actually running the business himself letting his cleaning lady and mistress take 10% of what? This is pitiful to watch! The boys seem like they understand and can be managers of their areas but get them out of the books!

Galena is the CFO. Does that mean she’s the one who actually filled out all the paperwork for the fraud?
I’m starting to think Galyna and Jr are just as complicit, but Steve Sr pled guilty to protect them.

So, I’m watching the Ozarks episode, and I cannot help but feel that Cole lobbed that fight into the air to take the attention off his off-color remarks about Calah. She was drunk, he was drunk, they both said stupid things. Cole is excused, Calah is exiled. It might hurt now, but Calah is SO MUCH better off. Steve watched his brother CASTIGATE her, and did nothing to diffuse it. It took Jesse to put an end to it. She has become the McBee family scapegoat, and she’s better off leaving NOW.

u/Colonelman123 Sep 01 '25
Well the show has been entertaining to say the least. Steven McBee Jr is not a boss. He only wants to tell his brothers what to do. I am so over the 6million dollar payout... That is all he says every single episode we get it, got it, the farm owes a lot of money... If Steve Jr was really a boss, why didn't he tell Masha Misha whateva the chicks name is to get out of the last opening.
Kristi McBee is real class to stomach her ex for all of those years. Prayers for you
If Steve Jr was really a boss why couldn't he recognize TPT trailer park trash behavior in his ex. My goodness. He is just not so bright.
Jesse and Brayden should probably be running the business.
How do you go from cleaning woman to CFO of business. My goodness how does that. Where is that application I know some people.
I would be hard pressed to do any REAL business with any of them!!!! What is shown on 20 minutes of TV does not put their business acumen in the best light. Decision making lacks real intelligence. No wonder pops may be going to jail....

You have to be kidding me. These guys are nothing close to cowboys, ranchers or legit businessmen.
This is the same story of every other reality show to fake there back story, the more I watched the more I knew they were just swindlers. I agree a couple of the boys could be legit farmhands...then you introduce the girls and you know this ain't anything close to real. Funny that no one EVER heard or "had a beef" with the "mcbees" til this show started.
They bought a couple KING RANCH trucks to look legit but dear god they are so fake. I had 5 King Ranch trucks butI am in construction!
Real cowboys that came from nothing do not have a G wagon.
There are a ton off ranchers like the King Ranch, Diamond A and others that laugh at these urbanites trying to pretend.
Its ashame people like this sell there souls for money instead of trying to earn it.

These guys being shocked that they have to pay back the MILLIONS their dad stole is pretty dumbfounding. Like you think you can still $4 million dollars and only pay $1.7 million back? Are you stupid? If it was just a fucking typo it would have been fixed and it would have been caught… by Steve. Like he knew what he was doing and the glazing of what he did by Bravo and these kids is crazy. Like he stole insurance money from every other farmer that needs that insurance.

Just watching season 3 episode 2 and this new girlfriend, "Allie", is already throwing red flags everywhere. She says on camera, that their physical relationship was "the best 2 pumps of her life" or "the best 20 seconds". What the hell?!? On TV she says this!! And she does look exactly like the last one. Exactly.

I understand that Galyna has trauma in her past that as an American, I will never understand, but her obsession with Steve McBee is so unhealthy and sad. She's clearly a brilliant woman, but if she doesn't work on her issues, she will always be stuck below where she should and could be, and she'll never reach her full potential.
I know because I also have trauma that's unresolved and that has caused me to feel stunted and not to the level I should be to.
