They have over 30 contestants. So you must be talking about the Miss or Teen numbers alone. (NT) -- No name, 11:52:49 01/15/25 Wed You're right. I meant Miss Contestants. That's a huge number of contestants. Congrats to them (NT) -- No name, 12:32:30 01/15/25 Wed They could have used two sets of judges. Thirty girls is going to be 5 hours of interviews. (NT) -- No name, 02:47:26 01/16/25 Thu It’d probably be easier to do interviews the day before competition day.

Is Kerrigan the former NCOT? (NT) -- No name, 06:47:16 01/16/25 Thu They just posted pictures. There is no Morgan or Kerrigan. How ever Lauren Walsh, Josie Perdue, D'Amrah and Jamie are in it (NT) -- No name, 07:04:54 01/16/25 Thu Who is Morgan? (NT) -- No name, 07:57:51 01/16/25 Thu No clue. In a previous post someone said Morgan (NT) -- No name, 09:03:41 01/16/25 Thu Re: Any clue who the 14 contestants are for this weekend's pageant? -- No name, 11:57:30 01/16/25 Thu I would think Walsh is a front runner for a title and probably Miss NC (NT) -- No name, 12:12:13 01/16/25 Thu So we are so caught up with Carrie not being from North Carolina but going to school in NC and not representing the people of NC. But we will let someone who does not live in the state of North Carolina to compete and possibly win. Lauren is living in New York and traveling the world. Yes her parents live in the state. But has she lived in the state for the last 30 days like she is supposed to based on the rule? I guarantee not. The double standard is so real in this state. -- No name, 13:07:21 01/16/25 Thu Looks like we finally found what would make the current look like a jewel. lord help us all (NT) -- No name, 16:18:47 01/16/25 Thu These are two totally different issues. The issue with Carrie is not that she is not from here and is merely going to school here. It is the fact that she lived with Miss NC's business manager/family member (how unethical can you be??), doesn't have and apparently won't get a license and therefore cannot adequately do the job of Miss NC, seemingly doesn't care a thing about the people in the state, and is completely self-absorbed. If true that the Walsh girl is, in fact, NOT living in NC and merely using her parents' address to claim residnce, then that is a major issue and most definitely should NOT be permitted.

It will be up to the other contestants and directors to force the hand of the state to remove her. It's happened before, it should happen again. (NT) -- No name, 15:02:54 01/18/25 Sat How many times has Lauren been to State? Do you remember her titles and placement? Thank you. (NT) -- No name, 06:52:03 01/17/25 Fri 3 or 4 times. The last time Lauren competed in NC she was 4th runner up. She has also been Top 10 in New York twice (NT) -- No name, 06:56:06 01/17/25 Fri I know the last time, when she was 4th Runner up to Caril, she was Miss Henderson. She has been Miss Garner too. She is a very strong competitor (NT) -- No name, 07:00:04 01/17/25 Fri I remember her year as 4th runner up. Very talented and looked great in gown. It would be weird if she wins the Lake Norman title, as she will be crowned by her sister. (NT) -- No name, 07:26:24 01/17/25 Fri I don’t think that would be weird at all. Sounds great to me (NT) -- No name, 08:22:12 01/17/25 Fri No matter what she has done elsewhere.......she doesn't live in North Carolina. IMO, this is more of an issue to me than Carrie not being from North Carolina. At least she is going to school and getting her education in our state. (Just like SG Blackwelder and M Cox and M Gadsden) They all don't live in the respective state but go to school. Lauren DOES NOT LIVE, WORK OR GO TO SCHOOL in North Carolina. She should not be eligible to compete. -- No name, 10:02:39 01/17/25 Fri She must have lived here for at least 30 days or it wouldn't have been approved for her to compete. I''m sure the State committee looked at this since everyone knows she's been based in NYC for the last 3 years (NT) -- No name, 10:08:38 01/17/25 Fri The state committee is so caught up in ways to never have a girl like Carrie again. They would love to have Lauren because she comes from money and they wont have to pay a dime for anything she wants or needs. (NT) -- No name, 10:46:15 01/17/25 Fri Mmmmm.....comes from money? Interesting. Who are her people? (NT) -- No name, 19:11:41 01/17/25 Fri Re: No matter what she has done elsewhere.......she doesn't live in North Carolina.

It was so good to see so many former Miss Americas on the stage! I hoped to see our own Nia Franklin, but she's busy with her music career. Who was the foirmer in the wheelchair? It was amazing seeing her and Jackie Mayer! (NT) -- No name, 07:10:41 01/06/25 Mon Nia isn't "OUR OWN". Nia is New York's miss America. Sorry, but you don't get to claim her. (NT) -- No name, 10:11:40 01/06/25 Mon She is New Yorks Miss America …..HOWEVER, she was born and raised in NC and literally was only in NY for MAYBE a year. So yes, NC we still claim her and her 1st runner up to Miss NY as they’re both from NC . (NT) -- No name, 18:32:04 01/06/25 Mon Always trying to ride on someone else's coattails because you're such a failure. I guess you claim Marjorie too? Nia might have been born in NC but she didnt compete as Miss NC and therefore she is NOT NC's Miss America. The only one this state can claim is Maria from what, 60 years ago? (NT) -- No name, 18:36:55 01/06/25 Mon HAHAHAHA! No one is "riding her coattails!" Nia competed in NC twice, did very well. She, like Allison Farris, felt she'd have a better chance of winning a state crown anywhere but NC. And it was proven as both women who did very well in NC won state crowns as soon as they set foot elsewhere. And both did well at Miss America, clearly (NIA!). So being a fan from her days in NC doesn't mean anyone is jumping on her bandwagon. And she's back in NC now, last I heard. So cool it! (NT) -- No name, 11:19:16 01/07/25 Tue Re: HAHAHAHA!

So cool it! -- No name, 17:08:43 01/07/25 Tue Because in NC you are competing with 40 girls that 20 of them could legitimately win Miss NC and represent the title well for the year. They may not be Miss America, but they have all that's needed to do the job of a state titleholder. NC has a long history of sending young women out into the US to attend school where they win smaller state titles in America and USA elsewhere. What we have lacked is the ability to capture girls from out-of-state that competed in Outstanding Teen or Teen USA and are now attending one of our universities and get them to compete here. (NT) -- No name, 16:16:40 01/10/25 Fri We got that this year. And with it came a girl who only cares about herself, only cares about making posts about race and making appearances for black groups, and doesn't gives a damn about the state of NC nor the people therein. So, no thank you. Let's continue to crown one of our own as Miss NC. (NT) -- No name, 08:15:14 01/11/25 Sat Perhaps NC should crown the best regardless of where they are from or what color they are. Other states would welcome some of the ones you suggest tossing aside. They would probably end up mopping the floor with NC too. (NT) -- No name, 08:44:10 01/11/25 Sat If I had to choose between a Miss NC who makes top 10 at Miss America but doesn't give AF about NC nor the people in the state or a Miss NC who doesn't make the ten but who gives her all to the people of the stateand truly serves in the role, I'll take the latter all day every day and twice on Sundays. I've seen enouh of the self-centered, self-absorbed "diva" currently wearing the crown. (NT) -- No name, 17:07:20 01/11/25 Sat Best example of this was Victoria Huggins. She tried 5 times to win the crown. I'm also sure she was devastated missing Top 10 at Miss America. However, she came home, dried her years and was everywhere all over the state finishing out her reign. (NT) -- No name, 19:37:23 01/11/25 Sat Myself, I was happy to see Cara. The organization treated her horribly and I’m glad she’s still showing up. If your comment “elephant in the room” was backhanded, go ahead a post a pic of yourself anytime. (NT) -- No name, 15:47:04 01/11/25 Sat Well, let's be real. There was no excuse for a former Miss America at her age to be 100 pounds overweight. (NT) -- No name, 16:18:22 01/12/25 Sun Wow... There are dozens of medical reasons both physical and mental that she doesn't weigh the same amount she weighed when she competed. (NT) -- No name, 06:58:06 01/13/25 Mon Nobody asked that she arrive at her competition weight. Most people put on a livable weight. But that is not healthy and does not send the right message to current or future contestants. (NT) -- No name, 07:28:48 01/13/25 Mon She might not be sending the right message to the contestants, but I'll bet she's got one that's perfect for you. Pick a finger! (NT) -- No name, 10:29:34 01/13/25 Mon Don't blame me. It's not my fault she has hand to mouth disease. She put herself out there for all the world to see. With fitness being part of Miss America, she needs to focus on her own health and fitness and set a good example for women everywhere. Fat is not fit and it is not beautiful. (NT) -- No name, 10:49:54 01/13/25 Mon So she put on weight. It was NOT 100 lbs. She was pretty curvy when she won. It looked great on her. When and if she feels the need, she'll drop weight. Plus sized models like Ashley Graham are considered obese by social standards yet I've seen her workout routine and Ashley is a beast in the gym! And is a beautiful woman. As is Cara. Just because fitness is included again, which I am all for, doesn't give anyine license to bash a former Miss America, a contestant, etc. Knock it off (NT) -- No name, 11:17:02 01/14/25 Tue I am sorry, but there is aboslutely NOTHING beautiful about plus size. NOTHING. Stop trying to normalize it and make it acceptable and anything but what it is. (NT) -- No name, 12:48:41 01/14/25 Tue And in turn, there is NOTHING, and I repeat, NOTHING attractive or beautiful about your personality or attitude. As a matter of fact, I'll be you ugly as sin Because with that mean, snarky attitude you could be the offspring of Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie and still be ugly to the bone.. (NT) -- No name, 20:04:12 01/14/25 Tue Blah. Blah. Fucking blah. (NT) -- No name, 12:50:37 01/15/25 Wed Now that you've mastered 4 letter words, let's shoot for an entire sentence! (NT) -- No name, 14:08:30 01/15/25 Wed Here's a complete sentence: Go fuck yourself. (NT) -- No name, 14:29:56 01/15/25 Wed Good job! You even managed correct punctuation. Now, let's try a paragraph and see how many expletives and f-bombs you can include. Go ahead, I'm sure you're up to the challenge. (NT) -- No name, 15:27:07 01/15/25 Wed It seems obvious that the people so upset by peope saying Cara gained so much weight and that fat is not fit are, themselves, most likely fat. (NT) -- No name, 16:23:54 01/15/25 Wed How do you know she doesn't have a disease like PCOS or another hormonal issue? You're very a cruel - and that will come back on you one day! -- No name, 06:23:43 01/18/25 Sat Yall are really fucking mean. This board is an exact reason people have issues.

Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 04:56:13 01/06/25 Mon I have heard this year new rules at state - NO platforms above .25” allowed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
They have said no platforms over an inch for some time now and we have seen them on local stages I know and I am even pretty sure I saw some at the National level. (NT) -- No name, 05:46:56 01/06/25 Mon If this is a new rule, I doubt anyone will follow it. Local titleholders even wear 2” platforms at appearances. Also, .25” is stupid. If you have a girl who’s 5”3 wearing those heels, she’s going to look short and stubby. I say we bring 2” platforms back! (NT) -- No name, 06:29:49 01/16/25 Thu I'm going to compete and my CSI will be "Climb to New Heights! Platforms Are Not Just for Strippers!" (NT) -- No name, 07:23:00 01/17/25 Fri For evening gown, I can opt to wear jeans and a T-shirt or even a gown made of of a trashbag and nothing could be said, but if the bottom of my shoes are too high it's against a rule. Stupidity. (NT) -- No name, 10:52:09 01/17/25 Fri

Subject: Let the lying bs begin. NC needs a fact checker to look at some of the claims made whether it be platform, education or just general lying. Some of these people seem to change platforms and career goals every year. Guess the first lie was too hard to achieve so they lower the bar. Not really sure why lying is apparently better than just owning it to some.

(NT) -- No name, 13:45:42 01/10/25 Fri Re: That’s not a riddle. Pretty straight-forward. Sorry you can’t understand. -- No name, 15:04:37 01/10/25 Fri Who cares if someone changes their platform or their career goals? People change their majors in college and therefore their aspirations all the time. People change careers in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s all the time, too. Why should a pageant contestant be locked in just because it suits YOU? GTFOH with that nonsense. (NT) -- No name, 08:17:35 01/11/25 Sat The difference between those other people and the contestants that I am referring to and dumbasses like you are that they don’t lie about it. Perhaps your daughter is one of those or perhaps you are the contestant themselves. It is the people like you that get by spinning fairytales about what you have been doing with your platform, what great grades you are making and what a career you are going to have knowing it’s bs that make NC what it is. You may have in leadership with the org so your future is not completely bleak. One day you may actually be able to speak intelligently. Until then you can kiss off. (NT) -- No name, 08:39:38 01/11/25 Sat And just how do you know someone is lying about what they've done with their platform or what their grades are? My suggestion to you is to mind your own damn business and worry about yourself. (NT) -- No name, 17:03:30 01/11/25 Sat I know because I know them. I’m feeling like I will disregard your suggestion. Apparently you you don’t follow your own advice since you’re on here digging into everybody else’s business. Tell your daughter I said hi. (NT) -- No name, 06:50:25 01/12/25 Sun Exactly. If you feel like you have to lie to stand a shot at winning, whether it is grades, platform, some hard luck story or your intended career path then maybe you should look elsewhere and maybe within. There should ba a way to check though. I don’t think NC cares though because politics plays too much of a role still. (NT) -- No name, 08:46:27 01/12/25 Sun They used to ask for transcripts (NT) -- No name, 11:50:19 01/12/25 Sun You also used to have to send a copy of your driver's license, too. But clearly nobody cares if a girl can actually DO the JOB of Miss NC anymore. (NT) -- No name, 16:16:20 01/12/25 Sun Thanks to President Trump. He's proven that if you say it, it must be true. (NT) -- No name, 07:26:58 01/13/25 Mon Let's not talk about politicians and their lies unless you want to also discuss Joe Biden, hilary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Kamala Harris, George Bush, Barak Obama, Richard Nixon, and the list goes on and on.

Subject: Carrie's Performance at Miss America
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 10:42:30 01/07/25 Tue With this new scoring system, I think you have to win, or at least be near the top in 4 out of the five scored categories. Carrie obviously did well in talent (she won a preliminary) According to the message board, she did very well in OSQ, which would lead you to believe that she did well in private interview. That leaves Fitness, which is not her strongest category,but I actually think her gown is what did her in. She looked great in everything else she was photographed in all week, but the gown was very blah. She needed a color that popped. I also think Taylor's generic dress last year killed her chances for Top 5. Are these sponsored mandated choices? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

It’s Karma! People talk, and when you act like a diva and are rude to all the sponsors it comes back. (NT) -- No name, 17:22:54 01/05/25 Sun What sponsors has she been rude to? It seems she's gotten all the frreebies she could get. I'm not sure how she won a talent award, but good for her. My guess is she wasn't very well liked by the other contestants this week. (NT) -- No name, 19:11:20 01/05/25 Sun I want to hear more about this. What sponsors has she been rude to? I've seen her give shout outs to the dress shop in Fayetteville, Makenzie Jades, and Gatorbug. What others are there? What has she done? (NT) -- No name, 19:59:43 01/06/25 Mon Whoever it was that wrote that post can't give you examples. Use some common sense that it would give their identity away or they would share information that a sponsor shared. I am not on a committee or anyone of importance in the organization and I have heard credible stories from others who are in the know. But like the OP I can't disclose what I know because of the same. (NT) -- No name, 14:11:15 01/08/25 Wed Agree with whomever posted this. I hate to kick someone when they are down but sometimes you need something painful to open your eyes to a problem. Some self evaluation and self reflection is needed greatly. Maybe it's because she isn't from the south or maybe she was just born an arrogant-narcissist but regardless she has not represented the State nor the people of North Carolina. She has represented Carrie, she has represented the state of Washington, she has represented HBCUs, she has represented black events and churches, but she hasn't represented the people of NC. She doesn't care about her sister queens, the people of NC, the culture, the Miss NC organization. Tired of the Miss NC business manager egging on the "black girl magic" and "black queens" and only black girl pictures. She is causing division within the organization we are supposed to be a sisterhood but honestly she has purposefully caused division. (NT) -- No name, 14:02:51 01/08/25 Wed But we have McNeill "Big Daddy" Chestnut that is causing division with taking pictures with titleholders and only inviting his girls to the Raleigh Club or inviting only his girls to the hospitality room at Miss America. Nothing like causing division amongst the haves and have nots with McNeill "Big Daddy" as he asks them to call him. you have to kiss the ring to get anything with him. I guess money talks and he gets away with being a creepy dirty old man around the women of the organization. Guess "Black Girl Power" is worse then a sleezy old man. Y'all crack me up. -- No name, 14:27:45 01/08/25 Wed How about both situations completely unacceptable. Because both are gross!

(NT) -- No name, 19:09:12 01/05/25 Sun Let’s just hope now we can get back to picking the most qualified and most likely to be competitive instead of DEI (NT) -- No name, 04:53:03 01/06/25 Mon Woah! This comment right here is so telling. Is that how you felt about Alex and Carolyn, too? How many WHITE GIRLS won who weren’t deserving in the eyes of many, including other white delegates/candidates/parents/committee members. Stay under your rock and think before saying something ignorant AND RACIST! (NT) -- No name, 05:29:15 01/06/25 Mon There is nothing racist about it. Carrie clearly was chosen based off her never ending race card that she played at every opportunity. Her csi was quite literally about race. The powers that be at NC decided they wanted to play into that in June, and we see whet it got us. Just pick the best candidate without taking race into account. (NT) -- No name, 18:41:26 01/06/25 Mon I have had an issue all year with the divisive content and talk. It confuses me since I feel like Miss NC should represent all of NC. I am happy that she is a confident African American woman but I feel like that is the only conversation and the only thing she posts about. In reference to Alex and Carolyn, no they made everyone feel included. (NT) -- No name, 05:51:56 01/06/25 Mon Totally agree here. Compare her to Miss Texas who was so inclusive of everyone, not just trying to throw the race card every time she opened her mouth. This little girl has a lot to learn about, well, everything. And unlike you, I don’t care what she does the rest of the year. She hasn’t cared about this state for six months. Why start now? Let her sit in her dorm at Central and work on her degree and let’s just pray the judges do better come June, whether they give us a new Miss NC that is black, white, pink, or purple.

(NT) -- No name, 12:53:40 01/06/25 Mon Since Carrie won a preliminary talent award but did not advance, doesn't she automatically win A NFT award too? Or do they even give those anymore?

I personally find it interesting that only 1 talent prelim winner advanced. (NT) -- No name, 16:38:43 01/07/25 Tue I’ve said it before, talent doesn’t not win a pageant.

Agree about the stage .. I’m only assuming they had Marley down and it most likely needed to be swept or maybe even mopped. If you don’t care for Marley correctly it gets slippery or sticky like you said. The humidity levels affect it as well. Nonetheless Kam was great and I also loved the costume! Carrie looked beautiful in the gold gown and I really enjoyed her song I was honestly surprised she did much better than I expected. I hope they both walked away tonight feeling very proud and accomplished. (NT) -- No name, 20:54:47 01/02/25 Thu Kam looked beautiful but the talent outfit was not giving.

https://missnc.org/2025-state-competitions/ -- No name, 08:39:52 12/23/24 Mon Miss NC has found a new home in High Point. They are not going to leave a city that gives them kickbacks like High Point does for Miss NC. Raleigh Memorial Auditorium is a thing of the past. They do no want Miss NC and the City of Raleigh couldn’t care less about the Miss NC org. Let’s get out of the past and embrace the new and future that has come to be for the Miss NC Org. -- No name, 05:51:37 12/27/24 Fri I think High Point is great, my only question is why they haven't gotten Nido Quebein (High Point University Chancellor) involved. He was very involved when NC -USA was here and since that's over, he's ripe for the pickin'. He's also one of the most powerful people in the State and has been responsible for elevating High Point in a lot of ways due to his expansion work with the University. Ot seems that MAO would be a better fit for him anyway than USA. (NT) -- No name, 13:57:48 12/27/24 Fri High Point doesn't care about the Miss contestants. They are more interested in the teens. What Susan, John and McNeil need to be doing is arranging a meeting with key decision makers and bring along several of their students who have participated in the program and gone on to HPU. (NT) -- No name, 12:22:13 12/28/24 Sat That would certainly show the quality of girls Miss NC can refer to High Point. Plus the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Miss NC contestants are spending in education at their school. (NT) -- No name, 07:25:34 12/30/24 Mon HPU is very excited about the MNC organization and its preliminaries that surround it. If you look at the Miss Thomasville org and Miss High Point org they offered scholarships to their Miss and Teen. (NT) -- No name, 08:31:34 01/03/25 Fri

(NT) -- No name, 12:57:30 12/15/24 Sun There are currently several young ladies with Miss titles that fit all of those things. Not every contestant is the same and you should really get to know some of them. We’ve been doing this since mine was a CP (13 years) and there are currently some very high quality young women who will be on that stage this summer. Sure there a few who have no business representing that crown .. absolutely but if you get to know the rest I think you would see they aren’t all the same. Ignore the bullies & the fakes.

(NT) -- No name, 09:04:04 12/16/24 Mon Not saying there are no some quality candidates. Just saying NC ignores them for the sake of politics and undue influence. Apparently they are not so easy to weed out. (NT) -- No name, 14:52:29 12/16/24 Mon Sometimes it just takes some time. All the contestants know.. and not all of them will exclude those bullies. They will continue being kind and respectful because that’s how they were raised and their character. Eventually the bullies and fakes get exposed to the world. If one of them happens to win at state it is what it is… we will always know and I would rather my daughter take the high road every time .. is it always fair .. no! But kindness will always prevail in the end. Have hope the right young ladies will take the crowns this summer. (NT) -- No name, 16:14:59 12/16/24 Mon Re: Sometimes it just takes some time.

Honestly... This sounds way better than Freddie's old tired production numbers. Why hasn't NC invested more time in finding a more quality choreographer for the state pageant.

LMAO (NT) -- No name, 17:39:14 12/13/24 Fri Sounds like maybe you’re unfamiliar with the process. Yes the wardrobe was shown they just mean no one is going to discuss it in a public forum as it’s supposed to be discreet until they hit the nationals stage. It’s like a dress rehearsal. The entrance fee was to benefit the spot fund they are all required to raise funds for the AHA. Sometimes just a little education on a subject is helpful instead of just assuming.

How many contestants will they need to have in order to crown all 4 in each Miss and Teen? (NT) -- No name, 10:04:44 11/21/24 Thu If they are all open, then 9 for Miss and 9 for Teen.

Subject: Are you kidding me?
Author: No name [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:27:32 10/09/24 Wed So let's get this straight: this girl who is representing NC can't be bothered to post ANYTHING about hurricane Helene for DAYS after it caused MAJOR death and destruction to western NC and hasn't commented about it since, is now sending out prayers to the people of Florida before this hurricane hits? WOW! I'm not sure there are even words for her. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
Replies:
And I’m sorry but her post about Hurricane Helene was so generic. Miss NC needs to be volunteering. One of the four points is SERVICE (NT) -- No name, 09:19:31 10/09/24 Wed No kidding! Taylor would have been boots on the ground, getting her hands dirty doing SOMETHING whether it was handing out water, flipping pancakes, or organizing some sort of drive. Can we have her back for another year? Let this girl go to Miss America since it's clear that's all she cared about, and let Taylor actually BE Miss NC for another year? This is pitiful and a slap in the face to all of the girls who would have actually done something with the title. (NT) -- No name, 12:04:33 10/09/24 Wed Taylor dropped out of school while she was Miss North Carolina and is part of a very wealthy and privileged family, that is a completely different scenario. Carrie's school understandably comes first to preserve her eligibility and SCHOLARSHIP is a point of the crown. She should not be expected to overextend herself to please the trolls of the voy board. -- No name, 13:17:47 10/09/24 Wed Carli was in school and still managed to be a present and active Miss NC (NT) -- No name, 13:25:14 10/09/24 Wed Karolyn. Hell at this point give us Victoria back. Any of them would actually do something! (NT) -- No name, 13:42:55 10/09/24 Wed While yes, Taylor was privileged to take a year off of school for the duties of Miss NC, does not mean Carrie should be excused for the poor job she has done. Miss NC is Miss NC, whether you’re in school or working full-time. When a part of our state is destructed by a natural disaster, we expect Miss NC to do more than make a generic post on social media (days after the fact). Taylor is and will always be a pioneer and go down in the history books as a legendary Miss NC. (NT) -- No name, 13:59:19 10/09/24 Wed Honestly, they should go back to requiring Miss NC to take a year off so she can fulfill the duties of the title. I don't know why they started this business of letting the girl stay in school and try to do the job, anyway. (NT) -- No name, 14:59:23 10/09/24 Wed Is Miss NC relevant? I'm not talking about Carrie, I'm talking about the idea. Is a 20-something with the title of Miss NC relevant? What does a 20-something bring to the table to a politician to shape government policy? She's not making a campaign contribution. What business experience does Miss NC bring to the table to be relevant in a corporate boardroom or to a corporate event? She's never held a corporate job of any stature. So I'm not sure she has anything other than an opinion, a smile and a sparkling hat. There are teens in every city that have more followers on social media and have more influence. And they didn't have to win a pageant, wear a crown or subject themselves to judgement. All they had to do was be cute, speak well and put their angles on the gram. (NT) -- No name, 08:43:27 10/21/24 Mon The problem with NC is that they seem to have a great talent. What I mean is that they have a talent for picking the wrong winners in both teen and miss for years now. Contestants that would have broken the mold left for the most part. (NT) -- No name, 14:15:38 10/21/24 Mon The problem with NC is that there is always an agenda. Wouldn’t it be nice to have judges that aren’t friends with state committee members and sponsors etc. ? There’s issues here that go far deeper than one year. (NT) -- No name, 10:05:20 10/22/24 Tue Exactly. That is why I said the last few years. (NT) -- No name, 15:44:03 10/22/24 Tue The state committee is a joke. Judges at the state level are unqualified and literally sleeping on the job. They are friends with board members and have coached some of the delegates and one of them was staying with board member. How did no one see anything wrong with this? How has there been no removal from positions? Why do we put up with the same old mess and expect different results? It is insanity. Who is running this circus and allowing this mess? (NT) -- No name, 18:50:52 10/22/24 Tue Re: Honestly, they should go back to requiring Miss NC to take a year off so she can fulfill the duties of the title. I don't know why they started this business of letting the girl stay in school and try to do the job, anyway.

I don't know why they started this business of letting the girl stay in school and try to do the job, anyway. (NT) -- No name, 09:57:49 10/28/24 Mon Thanks, Taylor or Taylor's mom---probably Taylor's dad--for commenting so selflessly. (NT) -- No name, 05:47:07 11/26/24 Tue Truth. There’s confidence and then there’s arrogance self-absorption. (NT) -- No name, 16:35:02 11/28/24 Thu Re: Taylor dropped out of school while she was Miss North Carolina and is part of a very wealthy and privileged family, that is a completely different scenario. Carrie's school understandably comes first to preserve her eligibility and SCHOLARSHIP is a point of the crown. She should not be expected to overextend herself to please the trolls of the voy board. (NT) -- No name, 09:16:56 10/30/24 Wed I agree she could make post, but I also agree she has to stay in school. If she's not, then she is not eligible to be Miss NC. The Teen is surpassing Miss NC on social media. (NT) -- No name, 13:26:09 10/09/24 Wed I'm not sure this is correct. As long as she was eligible based on school when she won the state pageant, if she had to take a year off due to her obligations and duties, then I think she would remain eligible. It's just appalling that she isn't doing ANYTHING. And equally appalling that she isn't being encouraged by Susan or Adriene to do something. Since you want to pull the race card, are the people in the western part of the state not black enough to matter to this girl? (NT) -- No name, 11:53:53 10/10/24 Thu If she took the year off of school, where would she live? (NT) -- No name, 16:36:10 10/20/24 Sun Where did she live when school ended in early May? (NT) -- No name, 08:23:14 10/21/24 Mon With a Miss NC committee member but I guess that would be fine now (NT) -- No name, 08:04:04 10/22/24 Tue She lived with Adrienne Perry's Parents. She has openly admitted that. Susan can blame Adrienne and her agendas for this mess. (NT) -- No name, 13:56:35 10/22/24 Tue That is messy. No one thought that would look bad if it came out or would come into question? (NT) -- No name, 19:32:54 10/22/24 Tue I'm surprised that Adrienne was involved in this. She's been involved in the organization for years. Did they not realize that it would look very bad for her if she won. Unless, they were thinking that her chance of winning was slim and she just kind of came out of nowhere. But to have a relationship with the current queen's business manager does not look good at all. (NT) -- No name, 06:17:12 10/23/24 Wed Why are you shocked? Adrienne has always been messy. She was removed from the Miss NC org before and they still brought her messy ass back. I do think Susan is a great director, but when you have people like Adrienne and John Norris on your team, you will always have a mess. (NT) -- No name, 06:46:23 10/23/24 Wed Why did they remove her the first time? Why is everyone at the top shady? They have either participated been complacent or been the instigator. Why are we all wondering why the prelims are struggling to find competitors? (NT) -- No name, 07:51:55 10/23/24 Wed Ask she or Beth Knox. It was common knowledge. (NT) -- No name, 08:13:03 10/24/24 Thu Well if its common knowledge can someone spill the tea? (NT) -- No name, 09:39:05 10/24/24 Thu Re: Why are you shocked? Adrienne has always been messy.

I do think Susan is a great director, but when you have people like Adrienne and John Norris on your team, you will always have a mess. -- No name, 07:07:59 10/27/24 Sun John is just as shady as the rest! Do you remember Jessie Christine Smith on the judging panel? That was ALL Him. (NT) -- No name, 06:12:21 10/28/24 Mon Mike Golden was also thrown out and now he is responsible for the judges (NT) -- No name, 06:03:25 10/30/24 Wed Its all about recycling the garbage at this point. (NT) -- No name, 11:06:16 10/30/24 Wed Mike Golden was never "thrown out" of the Miss NC organization. Mike and his family lived in other states and thus couldn't maintain their involvement in their local here. Mike is an absolute gem and is one of the few of this current bunch that NC is LUCKY to have. There are many who need to hit the road, but he is certainly not one of them.

Which pageant are you referring too? If you are referring to Miss NC I think you can view it on Pageants Live (NT) -- No name, 16:19:27 11/12/24 Tue Re: Which pageant are you referring too? If you are referring to Miss NC I think you can view it on Pageants Live (NT) -- No name, 03:59:19 11/13/24 Wed No. Miss NC is only available as a live stream. Only a couple older Miss NC pageants are available on Pageants Live. (NT) -- No name, 07:53:36 11/13/24 Wed This was supposed to be under the post for last weekends NC Volunteer.

(NT) -- No name, 08:54:38 11/23/24 Sat Seems like a lot of ladies have went to this orientation. I would like to know this answer also. (NT) -- No name, 17:17:27 11/25/24 Mon I believe Miss NC Volunteer is a subsidiary of the Miss Volunteer Organization which is ran by a Board similar to the structure that Miss America Organization was. There's technically nothing to "own" as they have no real assets. If I remember correctly, the pageant was started by the former Miss TN / Miss America Organization that was ousted when they challenged the Miss America Board under the leadership of Gretchen Carlson. I'm sure someone can clarify that a bit more if it's not the case. (NT) -- No name, 12:38:31 11/26/24 Tue This sounds like those Walsh people still mad about not winning. Nobody paid to win Volunteer. Carolina, Hailey, and Kate all won fair and square. (NT) -- No name, 18:04:47 11/23/24 Sat Why are you even bringing up the Walsh girls? They haven’t competed there in a couple of years. I also heard they weren’t competing anymore. The older one aged out and Julia lives in Florida I believe (NT) -- No name, 21:21:44 11/23/24 Sat Mad?

I don’t even recognize most of these names? (NT) -- No name, 14:02:27 10/26/24 Sat Yeah some of these are most likely not top contenders when all is said and done .. lovely young ladies and I never say never but there are some very heavy hitters yet to hold a title that will by February (NT) -- No name, 17:59:58 11/07/24 Thu Ok somebody’s momma clearly wrote this.

Sophia competed for years and just finally made top 5, placing ahead of others who had been top 5 numerous times. And she had never placed before. You never know. (NT) -- No name, 22:42:36 10/28/24 Mon I agree with most of this (NT) -- No name, 17:58:36 10/26/24 Sat How can they be front runners when they haven’t even won a local yet? (NT) -- No name, 19:10:07 10/26/24 Sat They will have a title (NT) -- No name, 05:36:52 10/27/24 Sun Keelie is not doing High Point .. her own mama came on this page and explained exactly why. You people are a trip 😂& you clearly weren’t at OC pageant if you think Monical is a front runner. Savannah Holland has an injury and is healing. Brenna has no title. Nor does Mary Micheal. This is clearly written by someone who doesn’t know this program at all. (NT) -- No name, 02:22:22 10/27/24 Sun Brenna is being coached by Abby Britt and no doubt will have a title. Same for Mary Michael. Disagree about Monical. That committee will have her ready. The only one I do not agree with is Savannah. Other than that original (NT) -- No name, 05:32:51 10/27/24 Sun It’s very clear that Ila is in good hands. She’s being coached by Kenzie Hansley and Taylor Loyd…. And she’s got a good new committee that seems to have it together. She could be a contender. (NT) -- No name, 06:39:24 10/27/24 Sun I think you are the one that doesn’t know the program. If you don’t think brenna and Mary Michael will not have a title you are not paying attention. If you are not aware of the role a good committee and coaching plays regarding ila you are not well informed. And Keelie will clearly show up somewhere with a title. (NT) -- No name, 06:56:47 10/27/24 Sun I’m very aware.. reading comprehension. Brenna willl have a title if she choses to compete and Monical only beat her because of interview experience. I never said Mary M wouldn’t have a title I said she didn’t have one yet. I didn’t say Keelie wouldn’t if she competed. I said she’s NOT doing High Point. A great coach & great prep are very important but Monical can not beat K. Brown or MMM or Rader if she returns. I’m not being ugly I have cheered for Monical since she lost her very first prelim & she has potential but this is not her year. If I’m wrong I’ll be the first to jump to my feet in June clapping. I absolutely know what a difference a quality commitee can make and I know how much prep goes into this program. Reading before responding would be a great thing for you to work on. Kenzie H is coaching more than a few of them as is KBG & Abby. If Abby Britt was doing so well with prep Brenna would have won OC .. her stage performance alone is state title worthy.

MM has shown she can be the next MNCT and still works after state. She is a better dancer, speaker, and promotes sponsors like no other. That child could do huge things at Miss America’s Teen. (NT) -- No name, 07:51:00 10/27/24 Sun I agree MMM, Brown & Brenna W. Will definitely make an interesting pageant .. they are all excellent on stage interview will catapult one to the front runner position. (NT) -- No name, 09:15:28 10/27/24 Sun Difference is Brenna had 2 weeks preparation only. The girl has never competed at all. And now is being mentioned with these seasoned competitors. Imagine what prep over the next 8 months could do for her. (NT) -- No name, 12:26:26 10/27/24 Sun I absolutely agree. She’s got the IT factor on the stage and that can’t be taught. She will be a fierce competitor. Was very impressed with her at OC! (NT) -- No name, 16:42:48 10/27/24 Sun Say whatever you want, but if MM comes back it’s her crown. (NT) -- No name, 19:40:49 10/27/24 Sun It’s no one’s crown. There are so many new competitors this year and very tough competition in teen. There are several who could win.

(NT) -- No name, 16:21:21 11/21/24 Thu No. The error I was referring to was Maura was Top 10 in 2024 not 2023. In 2023 she was 4th RU. It was just an error. No shade.

Not all photogs put the heavy filters .. but I think it’s a known thing.. people pay lots of money for glam headshots and it’s a pageant headshot so we expect them to be glammed out. What’s important is that the young lady is who she says she is on paper and can articulate that into an interview… and most of the time the headshot is what is on stage minus a little filter or two. It’s 2024 .. you can filter anything but you can’t filter that interview in person. Pagesnt headshots aren’t supposed to be simple or plain. (NT) -- No name, 17:50:38 11/18/24 Mon I agree with most of what you said but I do think it places a bad taste in a judges mouth when it is obvious how edited the picture is. There have been a few posted in the last few days that make you question “why?” The photoshop around the head when you zoom in, the hair line, the very overlined lips, the removed braces, even some that obviously used AI. Why would you as a delegate even want to submit a photo that makes them go “is this the same girl”?
