So last night I’m surfing through channels, and I run across the show “Crowned,” which is a reality show beauty pageant for mother/daughter teams. Many of them have competed in professional beauty pageants, and many of them have not. I would have just clicked right through, had it not been for several reasons:

1) They all have to live in the same house, in BUNKS, in shared rooms.
2) The girls have the nastiest, cattiest attitudes toward each other “Oh, Team doesn’t have a chance in hell, because they’re just not pretty like us”
3) The first challenge was for each team to come up with an outfit, a name, and some introduction for themselves to give a good first impression to the judges:
4) Of which, Carson from Queer Eye is one, and definitely does NOT filter his thoughts, which are deliciously wicked.
5) One team thought it was smart to dub themselves “Silent But Deadly.” That alone had me giggling for 10 mins nonstop, especially since that’s what was written on their sashes.
6) The FINALE. OMFG. They have two teams as the bottom scoring contestants (the groups who were the most cocky and “beautiful” but with no personality). They call out the one team to pick up the jewel-encrusted scisssors…and a couple secs later tell them to CUT THE SASHES OFF THE OTHER TEAM. Holy crap, how evil!

Needless to say, I’ve seen all I’m really interested in, but that hour was just incredibly campy, trashy, and unintentionally hilarious. s
