Previously on CROWNED.
Each pair will stand on this rotating pedestal
while the other teams attempt to break their composure.
A tense smile clinic brought out the worst in some.
Both of you pretty much look like some mooses that need to be mounted.
And a knee injury forced Mindy to go to the hospital.
I survived a kidney transplant.
If a sprain needs to stop me, it's not going to happen.
For the elimination competition, pairs shot team videos explaining why they deserve the crown.
I'm so glad the real you is coming out.
Mom and I haven't had the perfect relationship.
Yudia's skin deep took the top honors.
I absolutely loved it and I'll tell you why.
I had a message on why you should be crowned.
And the goal driven gals were desashed.
I'm not seeing the substance.
We think we did a good job.
And we did the best we could.
Six teams are left who will be desashed tonight.
You make mama proud.
Thanks mom.
Quiet.
Our room was always like a lively room and now it's like quiet.
I'm really sad that Brenda and Heather got eliminated.
I thought that they were going to be here for a while.
I was really shocked.
They were both caring, deep people.
They both loved animals.
I just think it's time now to make the shift and start thinking positive.
We're down to six teams.
We've gone further than what we thought we would.
We've made it this far.
And that's why it's such a shocker because good things don't happen to us.
We just need to stay positive.
Deal?
Yep.
You don't sound very convincing.
If we don't stay focused.
Break a leg.
Break a leg today.
Let's focus.
Break a leg.
Throughout this competition I've gotten more and more serious.
And I really don't think that my mom and I are on the same page in that way.
Because she takes life as a joke.
And with me I know when it's time to joke and I know when it's time to be serious.
If you go on past history, what has happened?
You always come through.
Okay.
I don't know what makes you think I'm any different.
Have I ever not come through for you as a child?
Never.
Have you ever came to me, mom I need this, I can't do it?
No.
It never happens, so what makes you think it's going to happen now?
Okay.
Ladies, get ready for a day outdoors.
Close toed shoes and put some pants on.
Even though my knee is hurting and it's a little bit injured right now,
I am up for this challenge.
I am up for competing and I am up for staying here.
I do not want to go home.
My goal is to make it to the final pageant.
Good morning ladies.
Good morning.
Today you're going to be working for Habitat for Humanity.
Now Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit organization
that's seeking to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness.
I was really excited.
We've been living in this beautiful mansion
and we have a shot at $100,000, which is great,
but now we get to do something for somebody else.
The man standing next to me is John Kingsley.
Hello ladies.
Hi.
John is the foreman for the San Fernando Santa Clarita Chapter.
Today he is your boss.
And he is tough.
You're going to work as a team to landscape the front entrance,
paint a fence, and build a cinder block wall.
John, they're all yours.
Alright ladies, grab a hard hat and let's go.
John asked us to split into three groups
and there were four people per group.
The teams that were there were Moya and Jenny Lee,
Hollis and Gina building a cinder block wall,
Angela, Antonia, and Chrissy and Ada staining a fence,
my mom and myself, Laura and Patty.
We did landscaping.
Then you're going to start the next row and then the next row.
So this is our only section we have to do.
I think we've got to get it all laid over that way.
This whole thing?
I think so, yeah.
All the way over there?
Yeah.
You're not frosting a cake, honey.
Mom, do you want to start doing another one?
I got it.
I am the current Miss Wyoming.
I have done community service quite a bit.
I've done cleanup beaches, I've cleaned parks, planted trees.
So it's nothing new to me.
To help a cause that gives homes to families is such an incredible gift
and it's especially right now since my mother and I really don't have
a fortified place to live.
We're kind of couch surfing pretty much.
Through a set of very unfortunate circumstances,
I could no longer afford to live in my house.
The way that I see it is no matter how bad things get for myself,
there's always somebody else that I can help.
I think we're doing decent.
I think we are.
Gee.
Gotta have some water, gotta have some water.
Uh-oh.
Good working.
Thanks.
It's so hot out here.
Man, the heat, we just don't mesh well.
Man, I feel like taking off my pants.
I want to take my shirt off.
Gosh, dang it.
Need a new brush?
Oh, drop, okay.
Oh.
But you have to get all this stuff up top here.
Right.
Okay.
I kind of felt the frustration in his voice.
We could hear it.
Good job.
He said we were doing a good job, but I think he was just being nice.
Faster.
Yeah, over there, Mama.
I got it.
I don't want to put it against my clothes.
Mama, we'll just pick them up.
You're going to pick them up and I just spread them out, okay?
Yeah, we can lay them.
I asked Mindy and Rachelle to be our teammates.
Yeah, I thought it was a bad idea in the very beginning
because Mindy is crippled right now,
so I figured she wouldn't be able to pull her weight.
Do you have the extra pieces that are just miscellaneous?
Uh-uh, just that.
What about those pieces right there?
I was working really hard even though my knees were hurting.
I just put that aside because I really wanted to get this done
for this family and give them a nice home.
Take your boot and go like that.
I was really proud of my mom today.
She worked really hard.
She said to me, I don't care how tired I get.
I don't care how bad my knee hurts.
I'm going to do this.
And you know what?
My mom did not complain one time today.
Look at me go.
Oh, my gosh.
Rachelle, can you help me lift some of these?
My arms are giving out.
Okay.
I'm going to get through with all this side here.
We have to do, okay, so this whole orange thing.
Oh, my gosh.
This is the side we just started over there
because I said we don't want the whole side to.
Do you want me to stay here and finish this?
I'm okay with that if you guys want to go to the fence.
We have to ask the boss.
I just can't lift anymore.
I've lifted pretty much all of these.
All right, then you want to go to the fence.
Yes.
Laura and Patty, through a hissy fit,
I thought it was really upsetting and shallow
and kind of disgusting.
We are helping out people that have no homes,
and you're going to complain because your arms are tired.
I'm not too sure how big of a person that makes you look.
Okay, ladies.
Today, Working for Habitat for Humanity
was not only a clinic, but it was also a competition.
Little did you know,
but when you were working out in the hot sun,
you were also being judged by Foreman John.
He was judging you on your attitude and your work ethic.
Ladies, you all did a wonderful job today.
I am truly impressed,
and I would love to have any one of you back
working for Habitat for Humanity at any time.
So, congratulations and thanks.
We'd like to give you these shirts.
But there was one pair that not only worked hard
and got dirty, but never complained.
The pair that displayed the best work ethic was...
Mindy and Michelle.
We were really shocked.
We were really excited.
Couldn't believe that we won.
I mean, no one knew that my mom's knee was injured,
so John didn't know she was working through an injury.
John doesn't know she's had a kidney transplant,
and it made me feel really good to know that he saw
a very sincere part of our hearts.
Mindy, Rochelle, you now may get to pick
one of these beautifully wrapped gifts
our cabana boy, Kirk, is holding beside me.
Now remember, ladies, all that glitters is not gold.
In some of these boxes, you will find valuable crown jewels,
and in others, you will not.
Choose wisely.
Go ahead.
Congratulations.
We opened these boxes of sapphire and diamond earrings,
and I don't know about Rochelle, but I teared up
because that wasn't for me.
Today was not about being rewarded for something.
My day was about helping others and giving back to others.
That's all that mattered.
I can't look because I pulled my muscle lifting boxes
just before I came the day before I came,
but I was rolling it out.
Mindy sat there and kicked.
Kick this. This is what you do. You kick, kick, kick.
Overlap that. Come over here and put that piece there.
Oh, you need to cut that. Kick, kick, kick.
We know that we have a wonderful work ethic,
and we didn't put on a show.
No, no, because we're not fake fiatches.
If they have something to say to me, they can say it.
If they want to go in there and completely talk crap about us,
that's completely fine with me.
I'm proud of you. I really am.
You've worked hard, and you deserve everything you've been given.
I don't want anyone ever to tell you different,
especially the spoiled brats that they are.
Okay.
Just to sum this up, this is where we're different
because this is how both of us feel.
Okay, we didn't like the outcome of what happened the other day
because I know for certain Laura worked a lot harder
than you and your mom did.
Today I walked into Ada and Kristen and Lauren Patty's room
because I wanted to sit down and talk with Ada and Chrissy,
and Patty and Laura, they've been looking to attack my mom
and I since the challenge.
So this seemed like an opportune time.
You were recognized for something you shouldn't have been recognized for.
The foreman saw the good attitude that you were having,
which you did put on a good attitude performance.
So John the foreman knew, he just made it up
that mom and I had the best work ever.
Yes.
Oh my God.
You were too good to freaking work your ass off that day.
I was dirty, I got my clothes dirty, I got my face dirty.
I was working.
The thing is, I didn't talk the whole time.
She wasn't talking. You know why?
Because we were working so hard, I was sweating, I was out of breath.
I didn't realize it was about lifting sod.
It was about lifting sod.
It was about working for people.
Because nobody can do it but Laura and you.
Your mother couldn't do it and I couldn't do it.
You could do it because you didn't want to get your shirt dirty.
Why don't we get that?
She has a shoulder problem.
Because I have a pulled muscle in my back.
I did. I said you didn't want to get your shirt dirty.
I did not tell anybody that.
Absolutely not.
In the bus I didn't want to get my clothes dirty
because I didn't have any clothes I wanted to get dirty.
That's why I didn't lift sod as she knows good and well.
You obviously don't get it.
I get everything.
I am disgusted on how uneducated you are.
You think that's demeaning me.
You're wrong because you're a lot younger than me.
I don't care about how young or old I am.
You obviously don't get it.
It's sad to me that you guys can't take anything more away from this experience
than a bunch of bitching and moaning.
Have a wonderful afternoon.
You're walking out because you're the brat.
You're a spoiled rotten brat and so is your daughter.
I have nothing to say to you.
Bitch.
I need to physically stay away from them at this point right now.
You're going to be fine.
You handled yourself very well, Rochelle.
That's all you can have.
I'm okay. It's just that I can't have someone call me a bitch
and not turn around and pop her in her face.
Can mama give you a hug?
Okay.
Don't even.
I'm good.
Good morning, ladies.
Good morning.
A beauty queen isn't a beauty queen unless she has a platform.
So now it's time to get on your soap boxes, literally.
I would like each pair to open up the soap box
and inside you'll find a different platform issue.
And each pair will need to take a position on that platform issue.
Tania, Angela, would you like to open up your soap box?
Is body art sexy?
And Gina, does designer fashion or bargain shopping make an outfit?
Ada and Kristen?
Do nice people finish last?
Rochelle and Mindy?
Does plastic surgery make you perfect?
Jenna Lee and Moya, go ahead.
Is beauty more than skin deep?
Last but not least, Patti and Laura.
Do blondes have more fun?
For this week's elimination competition,
you'll be going to a very busy place, a mall.
And you'll need to stand on your soap box
and give a one-minute presentation on your platform issues to passing shoppers.
And you will be judged on the following three criteria.
Public speaking skills, persuasiveness, and overall team presentation.
The pair that does the worst job as determined by our judges
will be desashed and sent home.
Good luck.
Thank you.
This was a public speaking challenge and that's our problem area.
If we have to talk and speak, I get, you know, crazy butterflies.
I think we should start with the question, do nice people finish last?
Our strategy going into crunch time is focusing on what our weak points are,
like speaking, public speaking, and making them stronger.
Nice people, they don't want to step on anyone's toes,
they don't want to rock the boat, and sometimes that can hurt you.
Okay, write that down.
Yeah.
Body art.
Was only veiled by.
No.
There was a limited group of people that adorned it.
No.
My mom talks a lot and I'm trying to get her to stay focused.
If we work together like we're supposed to, we can be victorious.
Still have to use this view body art as sexy.
See what I'm saying?
Do designer clothes or bargain shopping make an outfit?
We have been told numerous times now by the judges that we're really, really cute,
we're really, really adorable.
So we had to strive to find some depth in our message
and not go our usual route of being silly, funny, loud.
What you wear and how you wear them, that's what makes an outfit.
We need to say, for us, beauty is more than skin deep.
I think we should do something else with hair.
Even something tiny.
Who needs a hug?
Would you want to say who needs a hug or is that too choosy?
You can, the way that you do it, girl, you know,
everybody in that audience is going to want a hug.
Oh!
Say it with me so you get used to it. Do blondes have more fun?
Hold on.
Do blondes have more fun?
What?
Mama, that's retarded.
Our brainstorming session in the beginning was not going very well
because Laura likes to take charge of all of our activities when we have challenges.
These examples about having your heart in the right place,
having sincere heart for life.
See, you're throwing me off. I have this train of thought going, Mom.
A person's attitude is the deciding factor in whether you have fun in life.
Okay, I'm going to add the next thing.
You'll accept that one?
That's the one I was talking about.
Two you'll accept.
I'd already told you that.
Thank you, boss.
The problem is I don't want to come off sounding like I have a problem with plastic surgery,
especially if I'm going to have it one day.
I think it sounds contradictory.
How?
One day I plan on having plastic surgery.
Yeah, but did I say I'm going to have plastic surgery to make myself perfect?
No.
So you need to say that in there if you want to.
Okay, but you just told me not to say it because it was contradictory.
So why don't you make up your mind?
I'm trying to, but you don't like anything I say.
Then why don't you go ahead and write some things down
and when we get eliminated then I can thank you for it.
No, no, no.
Well we got to the mall and it was really exciting
and we were told we had one minute to review our notes and prepare
and then one minute to get on the soap box and do our thing.
No, no, no.
Just start, just start.
Hi, I'm Gina.
Hi, I'm Cynthia.
Hi, I'm Paula.
I'm a 26-year-old unemployed actress.
I think that we've come up with something that is a little profound.
Hi, guys.
Is it designer clothes or bargain shopping that makes the outfit?
Hi, everyone.
Hello.
Body art isn't sexy.
Oh, oh.
Do you think nice people always finish last?
I'm really nervous.
Hi, I'm Jenna Lee.
Hi, I'm Oya.
What is beautiful?
Are you beautiful?
Are you beautiful?
Who wants a hug?
Anybody?
DuBloins, I'll just say it, Mom.
DuBloins have more fun is all you have to say.
DuBloins have more fun.
What do you think?
Do blondes have more fun?
What do you think?
Does plastic surgery make you perfect?
Tonight's going to be hard for me if we get eliminated because, you know, we really thought we're right next to the finale and that is where we want to be.
And we don't want something so almost simple in a way that we should know how to do to send us home.
Myself may one day want to enhance features.
However, it will never make me perfect.
Qualities that you possess.
I say it's not about being first or last.
It's how much effort you put into whatever you're doing.
And then I was looking because people were nodding at what I had just said.
So I was like, oh my God, I'm making sense.
At this point in the competition, I feel much more confident.
But I wanted to see Kristen, her confidence, more come from the inside because she did have it on the outside.
So I'm just glad to see that it's coming out.
She made a cute face when she forgot.
I go like this.
I think she looked like that.
Then I went back to serious.
What you doing?
What's wrong with you?
It's not a regular pain on the chin.
I know.
There's one week left, Mom, and it's a hundred thousand dollars.
There's so many different emotions going on with me right now.
I'm feeling like I possibly let Rochelle down today on our task.
And I'm just feeling upset with everything that's going on in the house.
It's just it's just too much.
Good evening, ladies.
Good evening.
As you know, I am Shayna Mokler, former Miss USA.
And to my right is fashion and beauty idol, Carson Kressley.
Gosh, I'm an idol. Thank you.
And to my left is TV personality, Cynthia Garrett.
Cynthia is an expert when it comes to presenting oneself to the public.
Except I may have been challenged by doing it at the mall as well.
So did you guys find it interesting?
Yes.
OK, good.
Well, ladies, welcome to the sixth de-sashing ceremony.
This week, each pair was randomly given a lighthearted platform issue.
And you were asked to take a position on that issue.
You went to a busy mall.
You stood on a soap box.
And you were asked to give a one minute speech to shoppers passing by.
We'll be judging you on three criteria.
Your public speaking skills, persuasiveness and your overall team presentation.
The pairs that gave the best speeches will be one step closer to the pageant finale in the $100,000 prize.
And the pair that performed the worst will be de-sashed and sent home.
So good luck, ladies.
Thank you.
Hi.
Good evening.
Jenny Lee and Moya, our little daredevil divas.
Welcome to the stage.
So tell us what your platform was.
Our platform was Beauty is More Than Skin Deep.
No, is Beauty.
Is Beauty More Than Skin Deep.
And what do you think?
Absolutely.
Yes.
OK, let's see if we got that across on your tape.
OK.
Hi, I'm Jenny Lee.
Hi, I'm Moya.
What is beautiful?
Are you beautiful?
Are you beautiful?
For us, beauty is more than skin deep.
It is somebody who constantly gives and asks for nothing in return.
What tiny thing can you do to make someone else's life better?
I know that I can give a hug.
Who wants a hug?
Anybody?
Anybody?
Want a hug?
So beauty is more than skin deep.
So have a beautiful day.
You were really engaging, inspired, almost perky to a fault.
And I like that you actually engaged everyone right off the bat by asking everyone, are you beautiful?
I thought you guys did a great job and you looked beautiful.
You have an identity.
And I just don't want you guys to ever lose that identity by trying to be this title.
Beautifully said.
Thank you.
Shaina.
Now get out.
Thank you guys.
Thank you.
Hello ladies.
Hi.
So what was your platform?
Our platform was, does plastic surgery make you perfect?
And what was your position on your platform?
Our position was that since no person is perfect, then plastic surgery cannot make you perfect either.
Okay, well let's take a look.
Good afternoon.
My name is Mindy.
And I'm Rachelle.
Does plastic surgery make you perfect?
Beauty is in the eye of the believer.
And if you truly believe within yourself, then it is going to shine through and is going to show through in your outer beauty features.
Myself may one day want to enhance features or utilize plastic surgery for myself.
However, it will never make me perfect.
The qualities that you possess.
Did you practice to stay within the one minute?
We did practice to stay within the one minute, but when we really felt that we needed to speak from our hearts.
I was a little confused when I was watching it there.
In public speaking situations, even if you're getting interviewed, you would have to really be able to project and be engaging and charming and overcome your nerves all at once.
And deliver the message.
This was about public speaking skills.
Sometimes your point kind of got lost.
The persuasiveness.
I didn't know what you were persuading us to do.
And then the overall team presentation.
I just think that you have more polish and poise than you showed in that one minute presentation.
Thank you ladies.
Thank you.
I think we're all out.
We're out.
We're going home.
We're going home.
No.
Sorry.
Hi Patty.
Hi Laura.
Hi.
What was your platform?
Our platform was, do blondes have more fun?
And what was your position?
My position was, no they do not.
I want to see the clip.
Okay.
Do blondes have more fun?
What do you think?
No, blondes definitely don't have any more fun than people of a different hair color.
Your attitude is the deciding factor for fun in life.
Having fun is not about hair color.
It's about what's inside.
If you had asked a blonde, they might have given you a different answer.
But that's what we think.
You worked well off of each other I thought.
And it felt good to watch and I was engaged.
Which was really, it was nice.
Being a blonde, I was very interested to hear what you had to say.
And I thought you were fabulous.
I really truly did.
Do blondes have more fun?
I don't know.
I know we have higher hair care bills.
So that being said, the only thing that I would criticize you on is slow down.
Take a breather.
In the beginning you were a little infomercial-y.
It was like, do blondes have more fun?
I don't know.
Do they?
Well let me tell you, it was a little stagey and a little bit kind of rehearsed.
I would say make it a little more conversational and relaxed.
Right.
Okay.
Okay?
Thank you ladies so much.
Thank you guys.
Lemon lime's in the house.
Oh, spring lime is your color.
Thank you.
So let's start off.
What was your platform?
Is body art sexy.
And what was your position?
It has to be done tastefully and done the right way it can be sexy.
Body piercings too.
And never offensive.
Right.
Well let's see the clip.
Body art isn't sexy.
Body art was at one point it was limited to a select group of people which were military
as well as pretty much the bicycle clubs, the motorcycle clubs.
Our younger generation, Generation X, has made body piercings and tattoos a sensation.
Now there's nothing more beautiful and cute in seeing that belly button ring.
So therefore if you look at body art as beautiful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Mom, were you nervous?
No.
Okay, because it seemed a little bit that you kind of got caught up in your words sometimes.
Well I was just trying to really focus and make sure I didn't miss out any points.
You know what confused me a little bit?
You were stating the topic which was body art, is it sexy?
And I thought you were saying body art isn't sexy.
And I thought, wait a minute, she's saying it's sexy but she just said it isn't sexy.
So I was a little confused.
I can't tell if they're for it or against it.
Yeah.
Really?
In any sort of speech or public presentation, if you hit the beginning, you make sure to
hit the middle and you make sure to hit the end.
And get it out in one minute or less.
In my pageant training, and I've gone through all the pageant training that you're going
through, part of it was learning to bridge the conversation over.
And I think that's just where you guys get a little tongue tied.
Thank you ladies.
Thank you.
We will definitely work on that.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I always talk so much and can't talk at the right time.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
You got tripped up on your words, not me.
They said that.
They just said that.
Don't be in denial.
Yes they did.
Hello, how are y'all tonight?
Reiterate your platform for us.
Do designer labels or discount shopping make the outfit?
Okay, let's see the tape.
Okay.
Hi guys.
Is it designer clothes or bargain shopping that makes the outfit?
Do y'all like looking at the celebrities on the red carpet and looking at the beautiful
clothes they wear?
I know I do, but I'm a single mom and I've got two kids and a grandbaby and a mortgage
to take care of.
And I'm afraid I just can't afford those things.
I want you to take a good look at my jeans.
These are $200 limited edition designer jeans.
And I'm proud of them not only because they're nice, but because they're recycled.
I got them secondhand from one of my good friends for $30.
We think clothes are a great way to express yourself.
You can show your intelligence and your creativity and your personality by what you're wearing.
So basically we don't care if you spend $40 or $400 at the mall today.
The point is how you feel in your clothes and what you do while you're in them.
Thanks guys.
You guys were very engaging and I could relate to you.
And I really enjoyed that.
You made it relatable because your topic was kind of frivolous, but you really brought
it back to your audience, which was people that happened to be in the mall shopping today.
And mall sales spiked today because of you.
Yay!
Oh yeah?
You guys seemed really comfortable and you were engaging and you made eye contact and
you spoke as if you had actually thought about what you were going to say.
And one of the most important things that I always say to title holders is you have
to be able to have breakfast at McDonald's and dinner at the White House.
And that's one of the biggest things about having a crown is being able to make those
shifts.
So it was really cool being able to see you go into a mall and be really relatable to
all these people.
And standing right here you could easily go to a really nice dinner tonight and really
come across very elegant and classy.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Okay, scram.
I think the closer we get, I'm feeling a little more nervous now than when I was earlier.
It's just at this point in the game you just don't know what the judges are going to say.
Tell us about your platform and what your position was.
Our topic was do nice people finish last.
And our point was that it doesn't matter if you're first or last, it's how much effort
you put into whatever you're doing.
I like that.
I think we should see a clip.
Do you think nice people always finish last?
I think there's a first and last in almost every situation.
And if nice people finish last, in our opinion, there's a reason why they finish last.
If, excuse me, if you always find yourself falling in that category, take a second to
reevaluate what you might be doing wrong and what you can do to fix it to achieve your
goal that you're trying to accomplish.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, guys, you did look beautiful, but this was a challenge about getting up on a soapbox
and speaking about something.
And you guys looked scared to death, and it was just such a letdown for me.
What's the question?
Do nice people finish last all the time?
What's the answer?
I don't know.
I never got the answer.
It was kind of like you were talking in circles, and it just, it didn't hold my attention.
Do you think you could handle wearing the crown, and people are going to be asking you
questions, and they are going to want to know what your platform is about a lot of things
because you'd be representing moms and daughters across America?
I think in different situations wearing the crown, the more that you are in front of people,
I think the more comfortable you become.
I think, public speaking, when we heard that that's what our challenge was, we were both
kind of like, oh, because that's something that we both definitely need to approve on,
and we're working on it.
Thank you, ladies.
Thank you, guys.
It's my fault.
It's not your fault.
You did good.
You should memorize your lines.
I think this week we just dropped the bomb.
We just, they didn't get what they were expecting from us.
We want to stay here.
So bad.
I don't want to go home.
I don't want to go home.
Well, ladies, welcome to the sixth de-sashing ceremony.
Some of you gave great speeches at the mall, and some of you did not.
So let's start off.
Daredevil Divas.
Well, we thought you guys had a lot of fun, and you were very engaging, and this week
you are safe.
Thank you.
Sincere sexy reds, we expected you to nail this, and you didn't disappoint us.
You're safe.
Thank you.
Gifted dolls.
Mindy, please, please give me what we see is under the surface trying to get out.
Please.
This week you're safe.
Blest beauties.
Please step forward to the front of the stage.
Beauty is skin deep.
Please step forward to the front of the stage.
Dream gals, please step forward to the front of the stage.
Dream gals, blest beauties, beauty is skin deep.
You all put together standout speeches.
But for very different reasons.
One pair scored the highest, while the other two pairs scored the lowest.
The team that did the best speech was the dream gals.
Congratulations, you really won this one, big time.
I have to say, you hit all the criteria, you were very engaging.
Dream gals, I think what was so great about your speech was that there was a sense of ease there,
and it's like you were talking to friends, and you made yourselves comfortable,
and you made your audience comfortable.
Thank you so much.
Well, dream gals, congratulations, and you may join the other pairs.
Blest beauties, beauty is skin deep.
Because of your unimpressive speeches, one pair will lose their sashes tonight.
Blest beauties, we couldn't hear you, and you didn't even introduce yourself.
I was really disappointed.
Ada and Kristen, I think we were all impressed by your beauty, and we get that,
but sometimes we feel like you weren't really like giving it your all,
and we just, we need you to give it your all.
Beauty is skin deep.
It's hard for me right now seeing you in the bottom two,
especially having such a victory last week, but I don't even know what your message was.
I'm disappointed with both of you as well.
Angela and Tania, I really expected the two of you to come out and nail it,
and what I felt like I got was maybe you stopped last week and thought,
well, we nailed that one, so let's not put a lot of work into this one or something,
because I felt really confused.
The pair that needs to pick up the sash scissors is...
Beauty is skin deep.
Beauty is skin deep.
Beauty is skin deep.
Please desash yourselves.
I'm running.
I'm not doing it.
And I'm not going back to do it.
Neither. It's over.
No one cut my mom and my sash because we're forever beauty queens.
Yes, we're forever beauty queens.
Thank you, Cup, but they're all ending.
That's why they were not crowned.
I've been in a pageant where I've been first winner up,
and I still did it with grace and dignity.
Part of holding a title is handling grace under pressure.
And it's easy to be a graceful winner. It's hard to be a graceful loser.
It's really hard to be a graceful loser.
Thank you, ladies, and we will see you all next week.
They're not going to humiliate me like that. No way.
I am a little bit shocked because we definitely didn't think we were going home.
We should have gone differently, but there will be other opportunities for me.
They're not going to humiliate me like that.
I refuse to be humiliated. We are forever beauty queens.
Next week on Crowned, it's the last week before the finale and tempers flare.
We weren't talking to you, Laura. We were talking to Chrissy and Ainsley.
Don't jump down our throat.
And a cocktail party challenge veers out of control.
Oh, my God!
Then the pageant interview rattles nerves.
I just don't want to show, like, any stupidity whatsoever.
Which team won't make it to the pageant finale?
Worthy? Not at all.
