ByPosted: January 28, 2008 Linnea Maloney can currently be seen as Pageant Director on The CW Network’s new reality series “Crowned: The Mother Of All Pageants.” The season finale is just two short weeks away and if you have been living under a rock, you can see all the episodes on the CW’s website at www.cwtv.com/crowned, or catch the last two episodes on Wednesdays at 8pm and special encore episodes on Sundays at 9pm. The season finale airs Wednesday, January 30. You might know Linnea Maloney already, she has a pageant history that goes back to 1988 when she was crowned Miss NY USA 88 and has been the director for most major pageant systems.
Maloney said "working on a mother daughter pageant reality show is such a thrill for me, it is a bit different from your standard pageants, but ultimately the same. One team goes home with the crown, oh and the $100,000 thousand dollars. That is the biggest cash prize in the history of pageantry." About “Crowned”“Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants” 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.š Under the direction of pageant director Linnea Maloney, the women are faced with challenges that focus on preparing them for the pageant show finale. They will have 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. Not only do good looks, talent and a penchant for world peace have to run in the family, each team must also have patience, teamwork and a healthy sense of humor. Some teams have years of pageant experience and some teams have none. In the end, one mother/daughter team will be “crowned” the winner and will receive a valuable prize package, including a $100,000 cash award, and, of course, a fabulous pair of tiaras.
