    Crowned: We'll Let Beauty Queens Replace Top Models For Now


    When the most recent season of ANTM ended last night, we were afraid there wouldn't be anything to fill the hole left in our hearts that we reserve for campy, beauty-based elimination reality shows — until 30 seconds later when Crowned premiered. On the show, mother/daughter pageant queen teams share a house and compete — in front of a panel that consists of Carson Kressley, Shanna Moakler, and some lady that is not Beverly Johnson — to win a grand prize of $100,000. At the end of each episode, a team is "de-sashed" ceremoniously with a pair of jewel-encrusted scissors. It's really kind of awesome. The teams don't disappoint, either. They're totally a bunch of characters. In the clip above, get a load of standouts Lauren and her mom Patty... who might just have a shared eating disorder.
