http://cwtv.com/shows/crowned/about Crowned explores one of life's most emotional and volatile relationships as mothers and daughters from all walks of life compete together -- and against other mother/daughter teams -- in order to win a no-holds-barred beauty pageant. 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 an eight-episode competition that dares to pit mother/daughter teams against each other. On the CW Wednesday's 8:00 central. Anyone watching?

I watched the first episode, and will likely keep tuning in cause I'm a sucker. LOL. Can't really remember anything outstanding in the first ep yet. Was that the same mansion used in Beauty and The Geek? The front looks the same, and the grand stairway is the same shape. Of course the interior decorations are totally different, but I'm sure when these shows rent the mansions they gut it and put in their own decorations.

I'll watch again. I too don't remember much of the show specifics except for some of the names....silent but deadly...Skin Deep...LOL And the cutting of the sashes was priceless. I thought the judges were just as catty as the contestants which should be fun to watch.

Silent But Deadly ... bwahahahahaha! It was so funny how the daughter was talking about her mother's education being such an asset to them, but neither of them had any idea that the phrase is most often used in reference to farts. And that Skin Deep team. I didn't understand a thing they babbled about when they were talking about their name. I will watch again just to see what happens if the judges finally get hold of the "Red-headed Bombshells". I can't stand that team. And when will people learn that just because you can make a high-pitched sound like that girl, it does not necessarily mean you are a good singer?

I didn't even notice the "silent but deadly" until the judges question it. I wonder if they have to go by these names the rest of the competition.

I don't think they have to stick with their original names. POne of the judges sugested that the Skin Deep team change it. We often hear of sabotage behind the scenes of pagents. I hope we get to see some of it with this show.

The "best impression" mother daughter team is nice, and I also like the team with the mother with the kidney transplant and the ones that are the acrobats and the tomboy ones. That "Silent But Deadly" - OMG, where did she get that doctorate, as a prize in a box of Cracker Jacks? How could you NOT know what "Silent but Deadly" means? (And it is amazing that a phrase like that could be known by so many people from all parts of the country when it is not exactly something you say in polite company!) That red bombshell girl kind of messed up her singing when she was in front of the judges. I don't doubt that she has a voice. However they are SO obnoxious, especially when she was singing and woke everyone up and then said she didn't care. I like this show. I also had watched a show on E! called "Pageant Moms Unleashed" which seemed like it was going to be a series, but then they only showed one. Not sure what is up with that. I wonder if Jimmer would put the teams at the top?? As a holiday gift to us?? Please??

Some people are so booked learned and put so much emphasis on that knowledge that they have no clue what real life or people are like or what's even really going on.

I don't think she was a victim of not being intelligent enough to know the phrase or anything at all to do with her having a degree. I think it had more to do with it isn't a common phrase in her life and they didn't realize it when they were picking. I watched the show and when they were picking their name my mind never went to gas attacks once until the judges brought it up. I guess it wasn't on my credit list in college ;)

I guess I learned the phrase first hand... growing up with an older brother, if you know what I mean.

I watched and laughed though most of it. The Red Headed Bombshells were/are ridiculous. What is with the mom only eating hamburgers and chips? And don't get me started on the obnoxious daughter. Carson's face when she sang during their intro. was priceless. I was glad that the judges got onto the Hot-n-Not daughter. She seemed to really love her mom but I thought she was mean about her mom not "getting it" about fashion. I just wanted to say that the daughter's makeup wasn't that "hot"... And I'm loving the genius but clueless Silent but Deadly. I laughed and laughed. Oh the poor deluded Reigning A's... Exercising instead of rehearsing because they wanted to look good. Maybe they would have done better if they had just stood there and waved. And the desashing, oh the drama!!! Did anyone else notice the sound effects when they cut the sashes? What a train wreck show, that will probably make E's "The Soup" every week. And I'll be watching too.

Has anyone watched to see if it is the same mansion from Beauty And The Geek? Re: Silent But Deadly....maybe the Mom/Daughter had heard the term sometime in their past, but didn't pay attention to the context. Then when they had a chance to use it with their own assumed interpretation, they leaped on the opportunity. It sort of reminds me of this show Mom used to watch on painting (The Joy Of Painting). It was an older show, the host had actually passed away some time ago, but the local PBS station was replaying his show a lot. Anyway, the host had a guest painter on, an elderly woman. As she was painting her piece, she was babbling on about how fun it is to paint, and one shouldn't be embarrassed to let everyone know how much enjoyment they get from painting. She repeatedly used the term "come out of the closet," during her spiel. She was constantly encouraging viewers to come out of the closet and let everyone know about their painting. I think she used the phrase in every sentence! She must have said it at least 10 times during her segment on the show!

Kooklie -- I, too, learned the meaning of "Silent but Deadly" at the school of "Older Brother." I probably learned that one when I was about 5 years old. You miss a lot when you don't have brothers to teach you things lol. I guess we should just be glad nobody named themselves "Team Dutch Oven" or "Team Cameltoe".
