Eight contestants compete in a series of fast-paced quiz battles in an attempt to eliminate their opponents from the day’s game and walk away with a cash prize.
Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants is an eight-episode competition that featured multiple mother-daughter teams working together as pairs to win a beauty pageant competition. The show ran for eight episodes on The CW from December 12, 2007 to January 30, 2008.
The competition was judged by Carson Kressley, Shanna Moakler and television personality Cynthia Garrett.
Each pair attempted 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. The prize package included a $100,000 cash award, a custom-designed platinum and diamond crown necklace, and tiaras.
The show was a production of Swim Entertainment and Fox Television Studios, with creator/executive producer Laurie Girion.
On May 13, 2008, The CW officially cancelled the series. The show averaged 1.79 for its sole season.
