BIGGEST BNOCS: Top 50

Yeah, this thing again

You’ve had the big fish in a small pond. Now it’s time for the slightly smaller, less well-known fish. Read on to find out the Top 11 – 50 biggest BNOCs in Cambridge.

For those who didn’t make the top 10 – and therefore have a ego-massaging profile written about themselves, they still deserved the endorsement of The Tab.

The campaign trail for BNOC success saw featured Cantabs deploying any and every underhand tactic imaginable to secure votes. Early on in the campaign, next term’s Union Speakers Officer and resident Editor of TabTV Jonah Surkes pulled in the heavy weights to ensure success:

Meanwhile, local BNOC Johnny Burrow (who presented one-of-those-Cindies-videos-which-always-have-similar-titles in circa 4000 BC) even managed to secure a public endorsement from a global nearly-BNOC.

I’m with her who is with him

Then, in what turned out to be the biggest shock of the whole competition, a late entrant with newfound BNOC fame became the focus of an agenda-setting, internationally successful ambush campaign to take home the ultimate prize, to be crowned #1 Tab BNOC, later taken by Amatey ‘The King’ Doku on Friday morning.

Can write for The Tab with that level of wit

If all of these extreme Facebook tactics reveal anything (other than the fact that some Cantabs seem to have a surprising amount of time to use Facebook over their degrees) it’s that Cantabs care an awful lot about their social validation. So, here you go, dear Cantab. Be appeased.
