Roping and riding took center stage as the stunt coordinator for Disney’s “The Lone Ranger” showed some of the guys the ins and outs of being a cowboy. However, it was Chris Harrison’s surprise call to Desiree that started a wild chain reaction: It was revealed that one deceptive man not only had ulterior motives for being there, but had a girl friend to boot!
