Maryland Today | An ‘Amazing’ All Niter

Tyler Kim '27 hits a move during BTerps's "So You Think You Can Dance"-like breakdance battle in the Activities Room at the Adele H. Stamp Student Union. Around 1,000 students and others turned out at the All-Niter for more than a dozen activities.

Terps roaming the Adele H. Stamp Student Union on Friday night didn't need to change the channel for new entertainment, just their room.

Hundreds packed in collect "The Amazing Race"-inspired pins and to watch RuPaul's Student Drag Race, a "So You Think You Can Dance" breakdancing competition and the "Last Comic Standing" Student Comedy Showcase. "The Great British Bake Off" Build-a-Terp turned out to be the most popular (Who can resist a stuffed mascot with a chef's hat?), while more than 60 student clubs hunted for clues and tackled endurance contests to compete for cash at "Survivor: Stamp."

The finale was "Big Brother" Bingo, hosted by the winner and runner-up of the most recent season of the long-running CBS series, Matt Klotz and Jag Bains. Superfans cheered and laughed at insider-y giveaways such as veto necklaces, slop and velour bathrobes, but the prizes of household (get it?) items such as blankets and blenders were a bigger hit with this audience.
