A lot of average episode so far this season. But this one was actually quite good. I've seen a lot of awards shows (Grammy's, American Music, MTV, etc...). But I have never ever seen the CMT Awards show. Even though this wasn't really an awards show, the entire episode was set at the CMT's and it was fun. I think the joy came from watching Luke Wheeler getting his ass handed to him and the fact that Rayna kept praising Deacon as her writing partner. I can't stand the Luke character, so, seeing him lose his cool was perfect. It was also fun to see Will lose too. I liked the the entire episode was set in the world of an awards show. I can't think of another series that has done that for a full hour and been successful at it.
