The countdown to find out who Miss USA 2015 is on and we can't wait to watch. Following the Donald Trump controversy, it was uncertain if the Miss USA 2015 beauty pageant would go on. Luckily for the girls that have been preparing for the event all year, organizers decided to continue. Originally the show was to air in the U.S. on NBC with a simulcast in Spanish on Univision's UniMás. Following Trump's unfortunate comments about Mexicans and Latinos in general a huge backlash occured with talent for the show dropping like flies. Reelz cable channel came in to the rescue and picked up the show to broadcast on Sunday, July 12. This week it was announced that Todd Newton and Miss Wisconsin 2009 Alex Wehrley will co-host the event with Julie Alexandria taking duties with all the happenings backstage. Baton Rougue, Louisiana is going to heat up with Nia Sanchez handing over her crown to her successor. During this year's pageant, 8 Latinas will be competing for the crown.
