Watching Crowned is Not Quite as Horrible as Being Eaten Alive by Snakes

I watched Crowned again and I managed to find some entertainment in it. I actually like one of the teams, now. What can I say? Humanity is appealing. Here’s what I thought:

Wednesday night on Crowned the Mom’s were in charge of picking out evening gowns for both themselves and their daughters. Now, I personally trust my Mom – I would let her pick out a dress for me, even for a special event. My Mother picked out the lavender dress I wore for my high school graduation! Of course, in a panic, and a time crunch, this could be difficult for anyone.

And because the show wants to have some drama, I’m sure they threw in some hideous dresses, and not nearly enough ‘nice’ ones. This would ensure that some of the contestants would be wearing something wrong. Of course, I think even if they had their pick of any dress, some of them would still pick a horribly tacky dress (this is based on what they picked out at first, when they all did get to pick anything).

One of the mother’s – Angela (who is incredibly rude and tacky, by the by), pulled her dress’s sides out and showed a bit too much. Highly scandalous. (Later on in the show her vapid daughter proved to be just as dramatic and rude. Hmm… Apples. Trees. I think they say something about that.) I’m putting a high!drama warning on this duo.

The winners of this competition were Ada and Christian, and I would agree – they had the best dresses. Their team name was initially ‘Hot and Not’ but they’ve finally changed it to ‘Blessed Beauties’. I also think that theirs is a relationship that I would like to see mature and progress through the show. I’m interested in this pair, so I hope they stick around. I would like to see Mom, Ada, gain some more self-confidence.

The Mother’s were then in charge of makeovers and a photo shoot for their teams. I liked the Mindy/Rachelle duo, although Rachelle’s hair was really ’80’s Southern beauty queen’ and since when is that coming back? Yikes.

Gina/Hollis seem very sweet and have a nice bond. Ada/Christian, I believe, had the best picture composition. At the panel, their picture was the most well-received.

The CW is milking this show – they choose to take a close-up of one of the Mother’s after her panel when she was upset and crying, and the lights were so bright they were making her sweat a bit and her makeup was very colorful and not looking great…and yea. It was unflattering and just one indication of how reality TV can exploit people in unseemly ways. I wouldn’t advise being on any CW reality show aside from America’s Next Top Model (and I don’t think they have much say on that since it’s an established hit and Tyra Banks would use a flatiron on their faces).

The Tomboy Queens.

With that hair on Mom even after a makeover, did they really ever have a chance?
