The contentious battle to be Mr. BC ended Thursday with Brian Roundy, A&S '06, standing tall on the stage as the winner.
Dave Levy, A&S '06, hosted the event, introducing the order of the night's events for the six contestants as well as the eight judges, who would be largely responsible for selecting the winner.
The judges included Annie Flores, A&S '09, who identified herself as "the token female freshman judge." Levy wasted little time on preliminary speech and suggested that, "Before my bad jokes get any worse, let's get started."
The first event was casual wear, in which the contestants strutted along the walkway to their choice of music, wearing the clothing in which they felt comfortable.
Contestant Chester Li, A&S '08, was the first up, and while he walked up rhythmically to the song, "Secret Agent Man," Levy noted Chester's online popularity: "620 Facebook friends cannot be wrong."
Roundy, the eventual winner, walked down the runway and rubbed the cast of the leg he had recently injured playing basketball while Levy pleaded with the audience, "Please don't tell him to break a leg."
When the last to walk the runway, Neil Shea, A&S'07, was taking his turn, Levy remarked that the competition "wouldn't be complete if we didn't have another tall lanky guy in it. He also likes staring at his roommate while he is asleep."
Levy then addressed the audiences' applause and laughter. "It's really bad when mediocrity is exceeding expectations."
The revealing swimsuit portion of the contest came next, with each contestant choosing his own fashion to display his beachwear.
Roundy wore an outfit that was a concoction of eclectic hats, sunglasses, and outerwear and ate a fake watermelon, much to the audience's amusement.
Li wore coconuts over his chest and flexed his muscle, while Dominic Nahous, A&S '08, went for a tropical setup complete with "Kokomo" as his song of choice.
The next phase of the contest was the talent competition.
