Premise
The reality television series features six wives who have been either involved or competed in various beauty pageants around the country. The docu-series follows the daily life of the women and their families, mostly focussing on how they prepare for the pageants, including them "obsessing over the perfect swimsuit, working tirelessly with trainers and honing their interview skills with coaches – all while being dedicated mothers and wives."

Reception
Mark Perigard from Boston Herald was very critical towards the show for its negativity. Giving the show a D, he added that the "women go on the defensive in the most vile way, alleging abuse and death threats, the sort of smears that could wreck a police officer’s career," and raising a question whether "repeated Botox use lead to brain damage." Amy Kuperinsky from The Star-Ledger gave the show a B and compared it to another reality series aired on the same network, The Real Housewives of New Jersey, also adding that a viewer would "find the same kind of conflicts — your standard-issue threats, kerfuffles over the trivial, and a healthy dose of regional accents."
