I’m deeply fascinated by Mama June’s $75,000 makeover, having written about it for Buzzfeed. With Season 2 of Mama June: From Not to Hot premiering next week, I’ll finally get the answer to my question: “What happens to June once she loses the cultural signifiers that present her as both female grotesque and authentic redneck working-class woman?”

Well, if the trailer is any indication, we are in for another excellent and cringe-worthy experience.

If you don’t want to watch the trailer (honestly, why would you?), highlights include:

June is still being positioned as having the greatest transformation in reality TV history, as if we all haven’t seen the cast of Vanderpump Rules and their many sets of veneers.

Mama June 1

June’s new gimmick storyline for the season as a pageant queen in training, coached by Queen Alana.

Mama June 10

Mama June 3
I refuse to laugh at the future star of Honey Boo Boo’s Pageant Stars Academy, coming to TLC in 2027.

A reprise of many talents.

Mama June 5

17-year-old Lauryn’s surprise pregnancy.

Mama June 6
Surely, this will be a hard-hitting exploration of teen pregnancy like it’s a MTV show.

The return of June’s niece Amber

Mama June 2
She’s the normal one.

Moments you better rednecknognize

Mama June 4
That’s Jennifer. The new Mrs. Sugar Bear. She’s not important.

The continued fascination with Sugar Bear as an object of desire.

Mama June 7
What did we, the citizens of Trump’s America, do to deserve this?

And the constant reminder that June’s multiple cosmetic surgeries are actually, really dangerous.

Mama June 8

I’m ready. Are you?

Season 2 of Mama June: From Not to Hot premieres Friday, January 12 at 9 p.m. on WEtv. Yes, I’ll be recapping it.
