BNOC of the Year: Group Two Winner
It was a close one
After several days of voting, we can officially announce our BNOC: Group Two Winner – it’s Suzi McFall.
It was a closely fought battle between Suzi and the other contestants, but she managed to steal the win from runners up Poppie Simmonds, Lunch the hamster, and Kris Burnett.
Suzi’s nomination said: “You might also know her as “100th Fab girl“. Suzi rose to campus-wide fame this year after she made it to her 100th Fab at UOB. Somehow, she’s managed to balance her various trips to Fab with five years of a Medicine degree, and being Vice-President of the Tennis Club – we don’t know if she has a time-turner or if she’s just magic”.
Suzi will battle against Group One winner Christina Feng in the final.
But who will join them there? Voting is now open for BNOC of the Year: Group Three.
