Here's my question. If CA is forced to give up her crown and her 1st runner up takes over, does her 1st runner up automatically take over as 1st runner up for Miss USA?

Honestly, if I competed in Miss USA and was one of the top five I would be royally pissed if some girl who didn't even win the crown (CA) got to be a first runner up (Miss USA) and possibly take the Miss USA crown, if USA wins Universe. To me that wouldn't seem quite fair. But maybe it's just me.

Has anyone participated in pageants or know enough about pageants to answer the question?

I don't think Miss Malibu (the Miss Cali runner up) will be the 1st Runner up of Miss USA.

The whole purpose of having other "runners up" is to have someone to take the place if the person before them can't preform their duties.

So let's say Miss Malibu becomes Miss California. Then Miss USA wins Miss Universe. Since the original Miss California can't preform her duties, the 2nd runner up will step in as the new Miss USA.

That's the way I understood it anyway

Alright so I asked a friend, Miss USA does not have a platform. Miss America does.

If Miss CA USA looses her title Miss CA 1st runner up takes her spot. However if Miss USA wins Miss Universe the Miss USA title would go to the 2nd runner up which would be Miss Arizona USA.
