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.

All the related drama can go away now.

I think that's really disappointing. Not because of the comments or even the topless photos, but there were many other breaches of contract (like she wasn't even showing up for her Miss Cali appearances) and he basically just said that was OK even after she clearly wasn't fulfilling her "duties"

I'm not shocked he kept her because he kept the Miss USA who was doing drugs. But I agree with t*p that there were so many breaches of contract (going on anit-gay marriage events representing herself as Miss California USA, lying about the pictures, etc) that the Miss California USA organization should have took the title away without the Donald getting involved.
I feel sorry for Miss USA (North Carolina).

Oh well, as Lady Gaga would say "That's money honey". He wants better ratings for next year, what better way than this?

Miss California USA has been fired
"The Miss California USA Organization, in conjunction with the Miss Universe Organization and with the blessing of its owner, Mr. Donald J. Trump, announced today the termination of Carrie Prejean as Miss California USA 2009, citing continued breach of contract issues,” the Miss California Organization said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Wow...and the first runner up, now Miss California USA, is a former Miss Teen USA.

It's nice that he finally realized that she had absolutely no intention of doing her job because she had other agendas to push.
