On October 10, the new reality show Pageant Place will debut on MTV.  Pageant Place was created by Donald Trump, who also serves as executive producer.  The Donald, who broke into the reality world with The Apprentice, will also make appearances on the show, which will follow the everyday lives of reigning and former Miss USA and Miss Teen USA champions.  Donald is co-owner of the Miss Universe Organization, which presides over the Miss USA, Miss Teen USA and Miss Universe pageants. 

Pageant Place will mostly involve Miss Teen USA and Miss USA attempting to co-exist while living together in a New York apartment owned by Mr. Trump.  It is another in the long line of MTV celeb-reality shows which have no plot other than to capture the behind the scenes drama of sometimes famous people's lives.  We can presume that Pageant Place will involve some lady drama between the two crown holders, as well as man drama with their love lives.  Also, we'll see them carry out their duties across the country and The Donald will pop up occasionally to give them advice and support.

There's no mystery as to why Donald Trump would create Pageant Place: he has a stake in marketing the Miss Teen USA and the Miss Teen pageants.  However, I do wonder if it's good for those events if audiences get a glimpse at the nitty gritty that happens behind closed doors.  Aren't these women supposed to be role models?  These reality shows live off the drama they create and with any Pageant Place in-fighting, at least one of the girls will come across poorly.  It just seems like a risky proposition, in some ways, for Mr. Trump.  But, The Donald is a rich man and he generally knows what he's doing.  So, it'll probably be a big hit.
