Subject Author Date 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. (NT) -- No name, 09:56:40 01/16/25 Thu The pageant would have to be held on Sunday then. Most people have to work on Friday and with this pageant being an open title pageant girls were from all across the state so many had hours of travel and to get hotel rooms. Not to mention that means your judges who are volunteers from all across the state would also have to be there all weekend. Two sets of judges would have been the way to go. Interviews would have been done in 3 hours. (NT) -- No name, 05:26:59 01/20/25 Mon Re: Any clue who the 14 contestants are for this weekend's pageant? No name 06:20:39 01/16/25 Thu Who are Lauren, Jamie and Morgan? 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 Probably Morgan Kimrey? (NT) -- No name, 07:21:30 01/20/25 Mon 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 I heard North Carolina is looking for a new Business Manager for Miss North Carolina so it sounds like she is on her way out. The organization will absolutely be better off. -- No name, 12:38:44 01/19/25 Sun That can't come a minute too soon. (NT) -- No name, 14:26:12 01/19/25 Sun 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 Seriously don't know why we are even talking about Lauren. If she performs at state like she performed last night she won't make top 10. Her talent was weak and boring. She comes across as arrogant snobby and entitled. (NT) -- No name, 17:42:35 01/19/25 Sun Lauren is a nice girl. Trash talking other contestants won’t make you abetter. Focus on yourself (NT) -- No name, 19:22:13 01/19/25 Sun That’s all anyone does on here. Trash talk. (NT) -- No name, 07:45:28 01/20/25 Mon Re: That’s all anyone does on here. Trash talk. -- No name, 10:11:06 01/20/25 Mon Re: That’s all anyone does on here. Trash talk. -- No name, 10:13:33 01/20/25 Mon Re: Seriously don't know why we are even talking about Lauren.

She’s a stronger singer than that so I imagine she will come with something better in June. Miss NC title worthy? Probably not. I don’t see her as the next winner. But she will be consistent. (NT) -- No name, 13:01:30 01/20/25 Mon 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.

She should not be eligible to compete. -- No name, 16:24:44 01/17/25 Fri 100% Agree with you! (NT) -- No name, 17:44:45 01/19/25 Sun Guess What. The rule is you must live, work or go to school in NC to compete. Technically anyone with a DL's in NC is eligible to compete in NC. That being said, I am sure Lauren does live in NYC, but since her DL's says NC, she is eligible. I am not sure why you are making a big deal out of this, Lauren Walsh has never been a threat. She will barely make the top 5 again like years past or she will sit in the Top 10 like she did her 2 years competing for Miss NY. Leave the child alone. (NT) -- No name, 06:10:12 01/20/25 Mon But if she is truly not eligible, then she is taking a title away from a rightful contestant and any award she wins at state is taken from someone who is a legitimate titleholder. You know, kind of like boys in girls sports. Same thing. (NT) -- No name, 07:22:38 01/20/25 Mon Maybe, maybe not, but I bet there wouldn’t be this much chatter if you guys weren’t concerned about her walking in and taking the title. I doubt any of you even know this girl. This is why I dislike this board. People behind key boards do their best to marginalize and bully others. It’s disgusting and not what the program is about. Not a good look for the program or any of you.

I'm sure she appreciates your "defense" however,you give her a great big Bless Your Heart at the end. (NT) -- No name, 07:30:31 01/20/25 Mon I understand you think my response was harsh, but I am stating the truth. The issue at hand is that the Walsh girls do not get better. They just exist. Winners get better and better each year. They have hit or miss talents, boring interviews and pretty decent wardrobe. WE in NC need to step our game up and find woman that can actually compete at Miss America unlike what we have had our last 15 years. This is on the Local Directors! Y'all need to recruit better girls rather than rely on the same tired girls that compete year after year! I give my hate to Harold and Kim for recruiting that butts off to get new faces in our org.

No name 22:20:09 01/19/25 Sun There is no need to defend yourself Mr Blackwelder. This board has a way of showing the ugliest of people, mostly jealously. They pick a contestant that is a threat to them or their child and run them through the mud. It doesn’t matter if it is a Teen or a Miss, lies and mis-truths will be spread. All because they are too scared or afraid of typing their name at the bottom of a post. Lauren (like Carrie) played by the rules, if they don’t like the rules then they should join a committee or the state board and try to change them. There are so many people that are VICTIMS of this board and the people on this board do so much more damage than they realize. I really wish there was a way that this board could go back to posting IP addresses or requiring names. Maybe only then will the bullying really stop.

In the end it wont matter, because she is not really strong enough to win Miss NC. But then again, no one in this class is strong enough to win Miss America. WE need a better prep team in NC also. (NT) -- No name, 13:27:45 01/21/25 Tue My question is how does she even make appearances and represent the title? Seems like she just wanted a ticket to MNC and nothing more. Sorry, but I prefer winners who will actually serve the title. (NT) No name 07:52:05 01/20/25 Mon Who cares if she makes appearances! Carrie has barely made appearances compared to other States. She just like Lauren used the title as a ticket to Miss America. But luckily if Lauren were to win, she would have a great time clapping at Miss America like Carrie did! (NT) -- No name, 10:48:34 01/20/25 Mon Based on last year, her other sister queen will do plenty of appearances for the both of them. Is this organization really about the service and appearances or just the ticket to Miss NC? -- No name, 16:25:25 01/20/25 Mon Re: Based on last year, her other sister queen will do plenty of appearances for the both of them. Is this organization really about the service and appearances or just the ticket to Miss NC? -- No name, 17:43:20 01/20/25 Mon Congratulations to the Miss Ballantyne committee. In addition to having great numbers, they handed out several thousand dollars in scholarships and awards. I lost track of how much money it was. Did anyone tabulate it all up? It had to be close to $30,000. Way more than most. (NT) No name 11:51:39 01/22/25 Wed Their scholarship package is incredible. They are definitely doing something right.
