The Ultimate Coyote Ugly Search was an American reality television competition broadcast by Country Music Television. The first two seasons saw a group of 'wannabes' paired with a serving Coyote in the hope of getting a job at the Coyote Ugly Saloon and a cash sum for them and their partner.[1] The final season changed the format. In the final season, singing-dancing female bartenders competed for a position with the company's traveling troupe and a $50,000 prize.[2][3]

Previous seasons

In 2006, "The Ultimate Coyote Ugly Search" became a reality TV show on CMT. The premise of the show is that Lovell is auditioning girls to become the next "coyote". With the help from a few of her "coyote mentors", Lil trains girls to become bartenders, dancers, and all around entertainers, and one will prevail to become a regular coyote and win $25,000.[6]

In 2007, the series reappeared on CMT. This time around, the series was based on teams. Lil chose five of her best Coyotes from bars across the country. Each of those coyotes would then hold auditions at their home bars to find teammates for the competition. The teams for the competition were:

2007 Search Teams
Home Bar Coyote Apprentice
New York Maria Regan
Fort Lauderdale "Wiggins" Amanda "Red"
Nashville Sally Molly "Ice"
Memphis Bri Sandra "Mexico"
Charlotte Kat Stephanie

The team that won this competition was Team New York, who was rewarded $50,000.
