Jake signs Reba up for it, but [[AttentionWhore Barbra Jean]] wants to enter it herself once she catches wind of it, and because each household is allowed to have only one contestant, the main conflict in the episode is about Reba and Barbra Jean competing for that one spot.

* Two films, ''Film/ThePolkaKing'' (a biopic) and ''The Man Who Would Be Polka King'' (a documentary) document the rise and fall of Jan Lewan, a Polish singer who, after defecting to the U.S., formed a polka band and became hugely popular on the Pennsylvania polka circuit, making money not only from his concert tours, but from a gift shop, a travel agency, and a Ponzi scheme. His downfall starts when his wife Marla enters the Mrs. Pennsylvania beauty contest and wins, sparking a controversy when the judges all claim that they didn't vote for her. Jan was discovered to have disappeared from the audience for a short period of time during the contest, and this triggers speculation that he may have bribed the organizers of the pageant into giving his wife the title. Marla is eventually stripped of the title, though she refuses to return her crown and continues to claim she won fair and square. After this, the Pennsylvania SEC catches up to Lewen's Ponzi scheme, and it all goes downhill from there.

Alyssa Edwards had won the pageant but was dethroned for failing to fulfill her obligations, and the crown went to runner-up Coco Montrese.

Besides them, several contestants from the show have competed in pageants as well, including Season 12 winner Jaida Essence Hall, and "Pageant Queens vs Comedy Queens" has become shorthand for the frequent rivalry between high-femme queens who are serious about fashion and performance (whether they compete in pageants or not) and low-brow queens who are more about comedy, camp, gothiness, and so on.
