Rather than a 5-year-old shopping for a spectacular gown to top all gowns, it's 27-year-old former beauty queen Kari-Ann on "Brides of Beverly Hills." And boy, is she one tough customer. After trying around 200 to 300 dresses, Kari-Ann admits she still hasn't found a dress that she likes, even with a hefty $5,000 budget. Check out this sneak peek TLC shared with TODAY.com exclusively:

Speaking of "Toddlers," the controversial show is set to return on Dec. 7 at 10 p.m., and it's kicking off with a Christmas-themed episode.

"Brides of Beverly Hills" airs on Fridays at 10 p.m.
