Meet CharlotteFive’s Most Eligible bachelor and bachelorette

Thanks to all the C5ers who voted in the first CharlotteFive Most Eligible bachelor and bachelorette (ages 21-35) contest, sponsored by Diamonds Direct. There were 20 amazing finalists, but there could only be two winners. We finalized votes during last night’s celebration at The Imperial uptown.

And the winners are …

Terrence Pugh, CharlotteFive’s Most Eligible Bachelor

This 32-year-old doctor’s spirit animal is the elephant. His Tinder profile line is: I like Alabama football, Skittles, and gin. Not necessarily in that order.

Now meet:

Mollie Demott, CharlotteFive’s Most Eligible Bachelorette

This 27-year-old product marketing specialist’s spirit animal is a shark. Her Tinder profile line: Are you looking for a wedding date? Because I always RSVP.

We sent them off with fancy restaurant gift certificates. And a little bit of glory, too.
