Bit surprised that Shannen Doherty didn't return.

Might be the first hit of the year

Almost picked him myself, good pick & the committee loves boxers so I should've known he was going to make it.

Some interesting additions, Barenboim & Blinx I particularly like

Yoko dropped??

Thought Ruth Langford's mother was not famous enough!

Eddie Bernice Johnson adds some late drama to this pool. The Texas congresswoman is a hit for former host @Dying Probably, giving her 7 points (6 for position + 1 for a unique hit). DP is now in first place with only 1 point separating first and second, and with the year ending in a few hours, it seems unlikely that this is going to change.

Well, I can't edit your posts mate! Also, every sub will be in the 10th position unless you guys specifically say where do you want your Delors replacement to go.

Peter Falk has Alzheimer's disease

Or EU Host is Toast

Jacques Delors, considered as the architect of the modern EU, has died. I was never good at doing these "mini" obituaries, so I'll go straight to the points. His death gives @Ulitzer95 his first points of the game with 4 days of the year remaining, better late than never! He is also a hit for @theoldlady @The Daredevil & @Hell, Hell is now in third place with 18 points.

That's all

I've already subbed everyone that had Delors btw

Ngl it sometimes did feel like this when we were doing the Number 1's. Some Beatles songs were the first being attacked when there was still so much dross made by other artists, it seemed like they were being attacked just because the Beatles made them and not because they were the worst songs in the game.

I agree, Stranger on the Shore is sooooo much better, and I say this as a Beatles fan.
