“Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants” Premieres on The CW
Judges Carson Kressley (“Queer
Eye for the Straight Guy”), former Miss U.S.A. Shanna Moakler (“Dancing
with the Stars,” “Meet
the Barkers”) and television personality Cynthia Garrett (“Later
with Cynthia Garrett”) referee the eight-episode competition that dares
to pit mother/daughter teams against each other in a no-holds-barred
beauty pageant.
“Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants” explores one of the most
emotional and volatile relationships as mothers and daughters (ages 18 and
over) from all walks of life compete together - and against other
mother/daughter teams - in order to win. Faced with challenges that focus
on preparing them for the pageant show finale, the women will have to
brand a `style' for their mother/daughter team via clothing and swimwear,
create ways of expressing a point of view about issues in the world, and
practice for the big pageant dance number. Not only do good looks, talent
and a penchant for world peace have to run in the family, each team must
also have patience, teamwork and a healthy sense of humor. In the end, one
mother/daughter team will be “crowned” the winner and will receive a
valuable prize package, including a $100,000 cash award, and, of course, a
fabulous pair of tiaras.
“Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants” is a production of Fox
Television Studios, with creator/executive producer Laurie Girion (“Cheerleader
Nation,” “Last
Comic Standing 2”) and co-executive producer James Canniffe (“The
Apprentice”).
