Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants returns for its third installment tonight on The CW. Last week we saw the team previously known as “Silent But Deadly” desashed and sent on their way. I was really surprised by that as I thought they had been doing a good job, well at least better than most of the other teams. It sounds like things are going to get pretty catty soon so maybe it was better to send some of the nice folks home sooner rather than later.

Check back next week for our interview with Crowned’s judge Shanna Moakler where we talk about her involvement in the show, why she thinks Crowned has the perfect team of judges, and what her team name would be if she entered this with her daughters.

Here’s a preview summary for tonight’s episode of Crowned:

Nine teams remain and the drama increases when the divided contestants continue to talk behind each others’ backs. After secretly listening in on a conversation, one mother confronts the group, resulting in a screaming match that only beauty queens can deliver. This week’s challenge finds the mother/daughter duos receiving makeovers, followed by a pageant photo shoot. The teams must present their completed photo to the judges (Carson Kressley, Shanna Moakler and Cynthia Garrett), and the team with the lowest score is de-sashed and sent home.

Here’s the clip I showed last week, in case you missed it, which actually might be from this week’s show instead:
