Subject Author Date Re: Top 11 Predictions No name 20:38:42 03/17/24 Sun yep...Top 11 (NT) -- No name, 07:31:11 03/18/24 Mon Garner, Blue Ridge Valley, Sampson, Ballantyne, Metrolina, Central Carolina, Davidson County, Thomasville, Lake Tillery, Moore County, Sandhills (NT) No name 18:26:53 03/19/24 Tue This is my top 11 also! (NT) -- No name, 19:47:46 03/19/24 Tue Top 10: Garner, Mt. Holly, Thomasville, Blue Ridge, Wendell, Sampson, Lake Norman, JOCO, Queen City, Charlotte (NT) No name 20:48:38 03/19/24 Tue Re: Top 10: Garner, Mt. Holly, Thomasville, Blue Ridge, Wendell, Sampson, Lake Norman, JOCO, Queen City, Charlotte -- No name, 09:56:53 03/20/24 Wed More likely that some that made it in the past, won’t make the cut especially with only a top 10 plus pc (NT) -- No name, 10:42:40 03/20/24 Wed Looks like people are picking contestants who have done well in the past. Cutting from top 15 to a top 11 can leave some out. Also, there are always contestants that make their way into the 10 that you don't see coming. I sure wouldn't let past performance skew your decisions. Look at Anna Claire last year. I'm sure she never dreamed after being 4th runner up the year before that she wouldn't make the 15 (NT) -- No name, 07:58:42 03/21/24 Thu Re: Looks like people are picking contestants who have done well in the past.

I'm sure she never dreamed after being 4th runner up the year before that she wouldn't make the 15 -- No name, 08:27:14 03/21/24 Thu Yes, as mentioned in another post, there have been several returning 1st runner ups that failed to even place the next year. (NT) -- No name, 09:06:32 03/21/24 Thu There can always be new comers who do well (Taylor and Hanley are perfect examples.) However, they are the exception and not the rule. I think the best predictor of future success is past performance. Especially those who are consistently improving. Also, when newcomers do well I think it is very rare that they would not have been on the radar of those who frequent the locals and follow socials. You can see potential. (NT) -- No name, 12:44:36 03/21/24 Thu Hanley was a newcomer but Taylor competed for years. She had years of pageant experience (Cinderella, 3 years at NC Teen, Rhododendron) that contributed to her success. (NT) -- No name, 09:06:14 03/22/24 Fri You put Mt. Holly twice so that’s only 9 🙂 (NT) -- No name, 11:47:48 03/26/24 Tue Re: You put Mt. Holly twice so that’s only 9 🙂 -- No name, 08:02:50 04/03/24 Wed This makes me laugh out loud. Hi Ms. White. (NT) -- No name, 13:52:58 03/24/24 Sun Charlotte is doing great things in her community and she is very passionate about the kids she teaches art too. She’s a lovely young lady but I don’t think she will crack the Top 10 this year there are too many others that are very consistent with stronger talents and stronger stage presence. She should definitely continue to compete she has grown leaps and bounds! (NT) -- No name, 20:34:30 03/24/24 Sun Yep and this isnt her mom at all. (NT) -- No name, 10:24:52 03/25/24 Mon Her mom or Tony (NT) -- No name, 10:26:55 03/25/24 Mon You’re right .. it’s not her mom or Tony. I don’t have a contestant in the race this year. Mine took a break. And I do not think Kate will make the Top 10. She’s grown a lot but she has work to do. There are too many others with consistency across the board but I do think Kate should continue to compete and I’ve seen first hand the impact she is making in the community with her children’s art programs. (NT) -- No name, 15:04:45 03/25/24 Mon sure thing if you say so mama white (NT) -- No name, 04:53:15 03/26/24 Tue This has "written by mom" all over it. (NT) -- No name, 04:43:15 03/26/24 Tue You can think what ya want 😂 … I’m not even quite old enough to be her mom. I am a mom of a pageant girl who decided to take a break after several years in this program and I am just very realistic. Why would her mom comment here that she didn’t think she would make Top 10… and that there were more consistent contestants… moms don’t say those things about their daughter especially this close to the competition ~ you must have a reading comprehension issue. I was giving an opinion about top 11 and I don’t think Charlotte will be there.. but I do think what she’s doing with her CSI is great because I’m an advocate for the arts and for helping all children become involved. I think she has a lot to be proud of and I think some of you are just salty and jealous and like to talk about others being bullies when in fact you’re the problem. You didn’t even read the comments I made because there’s no way you thought that was her mom … reading is fundamental. (NT) -- No name, 10:43:38 03/26/24 Tue Right, but a newcomer to Miss NC. If you saw her local you knew she'd be a contender. But still, it is more an exception than the rule for a first time competitor to win. (NT) No name 14:04:03 03/22/24 Fri Yes, If you look at past performance, not including last year because there were some that had very little experience, most of the ones that do the best have had years of pageant experience, but not necessarily Miss North Carolina experience. Last year there were a few semi-finalists that were really new. Hanley had the least experience of anyone but she had years of dance and she has phenomenal stage presence. (NT) -- No name, 14:32:40 03/22/24 Fri Top 10 predictions Leaving out PC because it’s such a different variable. Blue Ridge Valley ~ HWL Garner ~ Abby Britt Metrolina~ Hannah Harvey Moore County ~ Cali McIntyre Sandhills ~ Sara Beth Howard Central Carolina ~ Keelie Jones Thomasville ~ Taylor Foley Sampson County ~ Maura Westbrook Queen City ~ Morgan Wheeler Lake Norman ~ Julia Walsh Possibles on my bubble list ~ Asheville ~ Sophia Kelstrom Ballentyne ~ Lauren Mallard Carolina Foothills ~ Madison McVey (NT) No name 23:55:58 03/23/24 Sat Mine is almost the same list. Good call. (NT) -- No name, 08:44:38 03/24/24 Sun Just from experience and knowledge about the young ladies … however there are a few new ones I know absolutely nothing about so they might slide in there and I’d be ok with that too! 💜 excited for all of them!!

Holly ~ Taytum Robbins (NT) No name 00:06:48 03/24/24 Sun Re: Top 10 Teen Predictions Queen City ~ Hayden Pearson, Metrolina ~ Lauren Burgess, JoCo ~ Mary Micheal McLamb, Thomasville ~ Carrie Rader, Garner ~ Colleen McDermott, Zebulon ~ Kaydin Brown, Sandhills ~ Keely Deal, Fayetteville ~ Jenna Grace Nance, Lake Norman ~ Mia Geter, Ballentyne ~ Camden Lee, Possibles on my bubble list Statesville ~ Kamryn Hollowell, Central Carolina ~ Savanna Holland, Mt. Holly ~ Taytum Robbins -- No name, 07:04:05 03/25/24 Mon Goldsboro’s Teen made top 16 last year but last year was a completely different ballgame .. several girls were left standing that made absolutely no sense. I do not think she will break the Top 10 this year although I think she will do very well & she’s a sweet young lady. (NT) -- No name, 09:46:41 03/25/24 Mon Who is Goldsboro teen that you referenced? (NT) -- No name, 18:47:22 03/25/24 Mon There is a list of the class of 24 on the Miss NC website with their names and past within the system. (NT) -- No name, 04:43:00 03/26/24 Tue In no particular order: Blue Ridge Valley, Central Carolina, Lake Tillery, Sandhills, Garner, Moore Co., Metrolina, Thomasville, Ballantyne, Mt. Holly, and on the bubble, Fayetteville, Davidson Co, Asheville, and Wendell (NT) No name 13:48:32 03/24/24 Sun VERY GOOD LIST! (NT) -- No name, 14:24:45 03/24/24 Sun Lake Tillery, Ballantyne, Mt. Holly, Davidson Co & Wendell I would have added if there were a Top 15 this year. (NT) -- No name, 15:37:49 03/24/24 Sun Its going to be really strange to not have a top 15 this year. But when you only have 37 miss you can't do a top 15. I agree with you. Honestly I think Tillery is also on the bubble upon further evaluation. (NT) -- No name, 16:00:50 03/24/24 Sun Not too weird it’s been Top 12 for the years since the year we took off for Covid ~ last year was first Top 16 in a while. (NT) -- No name, 17:59:09 03/24/24 Sun Re: Not too weird it’s been Top 10/11* (typo) for the years since the year we took off for Covid ~ last year was first Top 16 in a while. (NT) -- No name, 20:38:36 03/24/24 Sun Top 10 IMO: Central Carolina, Moore, Queen City, Thomasville, Garner, Lake Norman, Ballantyne, Blue Ridge, Sampson, Iredell (NT) No name 15:26:22 03/24/24 Sun While Iredell is a wonderful young woman I don’t think her talent is strong enough to make top 10 with the others that are consistent in every phase. (NT) -- No name, 15:35:10 03/24/24 Sun Totally agree (NT) -- No name, 20:27:45 03/30/24 Sat Bump (NT) -- No name, 05:36:25 04/04/24 Thu Bump again (NT) -- No name, 06:03:35 04/24/24 Wed
