Ali Dee celebrated her record release and made a big decision about her future on the season finale of 'Texas Women' (Thu., 10PM ET on CMT). Her dream is to make it big in country music, but she feels to do that she needs to be in Nashville instead of Dallas.

So she made the bold move to just do it. She packed up her things and headed out onto the road to follow her dreams, which is a bolder move than most people are able to make. Win or lose, she'll be able to say that she absolutely gave it her all.

Even better, she was out the door with the right attitude about what it's going to take. "If everything goes as planned, I'll be hitting the road going to every single little town, big town, wherever I can go to play my music," she said optimistically. "So the work starts now."

It may be time to start questioning Anna Hunt's relationship with her bulls on 'Texas Women' (Thursdays, 10PM on CMT). Bucking bulls are a sought-after commodity, and people will pay top dollar to create more of them. Which can mean some extra cash for an enterprising stock contractor like Hunt.

"When you raise a great bucking bull, you can collect his semen and make some extra cash," she said. How does that happen? Hunt gave us a pretty good look at the procedure done on her bull Jackson, which involved a plastic bag and an ... apparatus. "The process started, and he starts crossing his legs," she said, recounting the experience.

As a professional barrel racer, Brooke Jeter has to know her horses well, to be able to read every movement or hesitation. So when her new horse Whiskey wasn't moving with her the way he should on 'Texas Women' (Thursdays, 10PM on CMT), she knew there was a problem. Unfortunately for both of them, it turned out to be a problem that would keep Whiskey off the track for a while.

"So Whiskey did not do as well as I thought he was going to," she said after putting him through a test run. Whiskey wasn't pulling with her on the turns and reacting smoothly to her commands. "I thought to myself, something's not right, and that's what I was thinking the rest of my run, something's still not right," she said.

Ali Dee is getting ready to record a new EP and has a full schedule of gigs planned. But first, she and the guys need a new drummer. On 'Texas Women' (Thursdays, 10PM on CMT), Dee auditioned a number of applicants to see who best fit her country singer/songwriter style.

Not everyone who showed up seemed to understand what they were auditioning for. One metal-minded drummer liked "screaming vocals," which aren't exactly Dee's forte. Another said he was getting more into hip-hop, which led Dee to ask who was next.

You hate to stereotype someone who's a "trust fund baby," as Hannah is described on the official 'Texas Women' (Thu., 10PM ET on CMT) web page, but you could see that arrogant sense of self-importance in her when she was dealing with her roommate Anna.

In a moment that seemed light and fun enough to us, she and Anna were spatting at a bar, when Anna playfully smacked Hannah on the head with a cocktail menu. And that was it. Suddenly Hannah wasn't having fun anymore. It took Anna a bit to realize Hannah was serious.

We will agree that wagging your finger in someone's face is a bit much, but Hannah saw everything Anna was doing as "disrespectful" and ultimately "degrading." When Anna explained that "life is getting thumped in the forehead," Hannah's reply was, "Then you punch me in the shoulder [and] I'm gonna come right back at your nose."
