In this episode, Jake and his friends suggest that their school runs a granny pagent, and Jake asks Reba to sign Up. Reba accepts and is not so thrilled,... that is untill Brabra Jean signs up because shes Elizabeths Step Grandma. Then Reba gets determined to win. Even though Reba wants to win she really needs help, and who better to ask then Cheyanne, and not expecting Van. Van probably knew more than Cheyanne did(very strange). But Brabra Jean is also strengthinging up. By the night of when the pagent comes around Reba is ready, and Barbra Jean has been waiting for this her whole life. Then the organizer comes up and tells them only one grandma Hart, well who was, it? Well after a very long discussion, Barbra Jean goes in, and comes out with a bouquet of flowers, and a crown.moreless

This episode is a very great episode. Jake tells Reba that he would like her to be in a pageant of grandmas for his school. Reba ends up saying yes to his offer. However when Barbra Jean finds out she goes to the house to try and impress Jake. After Reba finds out that the only reason Jake asked her was so that she could win, Reba tries to change Barbra Jean's mind. In the end both of them end up trying out for the pageant. At the pageant only one grandma can represent the Hart Family and Reba gives the honour to Barbra Jean. This was a great episode!moreless

When Reba and Barbara Jean both enter a beauty pageant for Grandmas, sparks fly - along with a flaming baton.

Jake comes home and asks Reba to enter a beauty pageant for Grandmas and Reba reluctantly agrees to do it. But when Brock tells Barbara Jean about the competition she joins, hoping she'll finally have a chance to win a beauty pageant. At first Reba decides to bow out, but Kyra tells her Jake will be heartbroken if she does.

Thus begins an absolutely hilarious montage of Reba and Barbara Jean each getting ready for the competition in their own way.

I love this episode all because of Barbara Jean. This episode is a real showcase for the actress and her character. She's completely hilarious in it. It's everything we love and hate about Barbara Jean.moreless

This episode has an interesting storyline. It was funny when BarbraJean was doing that break dance thing in the living room in front of everyone. I thought it was pretty creative the first time I saw it. It was also cool that the two grandmas that guest stared, where B.J and Reba's mom in real life.

- When Reba is struggling to walk in the heals, it is a little in-side joke. Reba has said in interviews that she isn't very good at walking in heals and that she would rather have her cowboy boots on.

  EDIT SHARE
- Editing Oops:
  
  When Barbra Jean is spinning the baton that is lit on fire, at the beginning part, her hair is not tied back, but after about 2 seconds the camera switches and her hair is all tied back. However, this was most likely a safety precaution. They stopped filming and let her tie her hair back so it didn't catch on fire.
