Can I still join this game? If so I choose David H. Murdock, I have a good feeling that he will be a future supercentenarian.

I am sorry for your loss, I send you my condolences and I hope that you and your family find comfort.

Congrats Summer RIP Charles Dumont

Ethel Kennedy, Quincy Jones and Olav Thon are my hits for now.

And of course Jimmy Carter won.

My third sub Olav Thon died, replace him with Mahathir Mohamad please.

Paul Wätterbäck, the father of Johannes Wätterbäck, died at the age of 97 in March https://minnessidor.fonus.se/memorial_page/memorial_page_personal_info.php?order_id=4302334&set_site_id=2&cat=home&sign=e8b52ab6048753f9961f2c05867779db

The situation is difficult, given the few hits that the list has had this year, even so I think that we will have at least 2 more hits before this year ends, I would take into account Buzz Aldrin, Raul Castro and Imelda Marcos, they are the ones who I am more concerned that they will be left off the list, also Aldrin posted on Twitter recently.

@Bibliogryphon I know that the game is over now, since the 20 names have already been eliminated, but I wanted to ask you if we can continue removing and adding points to the names until in the end there is only 1 name left? I really liked this game, obviously that would not influence the result, these are the 25 names that should remain, if you want to at least create another thread to continue this game.

I think the last one to be eliminated would be between Vanessa Redgrave or Hans Blix, but if Jean-Marie Le Pen became a hit soon, both would remain on the list.

Well, since the last ones are left, there are only 8 left to drop, I will give my opinion on each of the candidates 1) Noam Chomsky: stroke and on the brink of death, should obviously be kept on the list 2) Jimmy Carter: in hospice care for almost 2 years, declining and looking worse every time, and he is already 100 years old, obviously be keep on the list 3) Joane Woodward: in the final stages of Alzheimer's 4) Roberta Flack: with ALS, 88 in February 5) Ted Turner: dementia with Lewy bodies 6) Sonny Rollins: According to what I have read here, he has pulmonary fibrosis, but he seems to be staying strong. 7) Patricia Routledge: I honestly don't know what illness she has, besides the fact that she will turn 96 in 2025. 8) Norman Tebbit: Some say he is in poor health. 9) Dennis Skinner: rumors of dementia, but seems to be staying strong 10) Cleo Laine: She looked horrible on her 96th birthday, but on her 97th birthday she looked very good, 98 in 2025, I prefer to keep her on the list. 11) Esther Rantzen: cancer, and it doesn't seem to me that she is exaggerating unlike James Whale and Linda Nolan. 12) Stanley Baxter: Mr Majeika actor, will turn 99 in 2025 and disappeared from the public spotlight, his last public photo from 2021. 13) Tom Brokaw: Blood cancer, but I honestly don't know how it is evolving. 14) Linda Nolan: Cancer, she seems to be exaggerating, but her case convinces me a little more unlike James Whale, if we reach at least 8 hits this year, she could keep on the list. 15) Gene Hackman: In my opinion he is weakening, there was a noticeable change from his photo at the beginning of 2023 when he was 93 years old to the photo that was taken at the end of March when he was 94 years, he lost weight and his skin already has a darker tint, he will be 95 years in 2025 and when he finishes he will be almost 96 years, it would seem like a mistake to remove him from the list, he is not like Clint Eastwood and Robert Wagner, who are the same age but are healthier and firmer, it's more like Bob Newhart in my opinion. 16) Denis Law: dementia, but I'm not sure how his illness has evolved. 17) Jean-Marie Le Pen: He suffered a heart attack last year and is in poor health. Although he looked good in his last photo from this year, drop him is very risky after keeping him on the list for so many years. 18) Pete Murray: I think he is quite healthy, his 99th birthday photo looked good, but he will be 100 years in 2025. 19) Vanessa Redgrave: She apparently has a lung problem, she uses a cane in her last public photos, I'm not sure whether to keep her in the list or drop her. 20) Imelda Marcos: many hospitalizations this year for pneumonia, I don't think she will go very far, 96 in 2025, keep her on the list. I have noticed that 96 has been a common age of death for celebrities. 21) Sandy Gall: I'm not sure if he has health problems, I haven't seen recent photos of him, he is 97 years old and will turn 98 in 2025, in case they plan to drop him, be one of the first to return him to the list in case they let's have more hits at the end of the year, the same with Hans Blix. 22) Dick Van Dyke: rumors that it is starting to decline, too many years on the list, keep it. 23) Mel Brooks: in similar conditions to DVD 24) Nigel Starmer-Smith: with dementia, he didn't look good at all in his photos at the end of 2021 and now I suppose he looks much worse, they have kept him on the list for too many years to risk removing him. 25) Raul Castro: multiple health problems in September of this year, weight loss, rumors of death in Cuba denied, several of his allies died that same month, keep him on the list, I have the feeling that he will die next year. 26) Alan Greenspan: In recent years he has seemed quite fragile, he disappeared from the public spotlight this year, now his wife hardly mentions him in her interviews which gives me a sign that he is declining, I have the feeling that next year he will die at 99 years, not everyone who makes it to 99 makes it to 100. 27) Josef Fritzl: I think he can survive the year, I saw that some members here had said that they would replace him with Sidney Cooke, and I agree with them. 28) Hans Blix: the same as Sandy Gall 29) James Whale: Cancer, I follow him on Twitter and he looks good, he seems to exaggerate his case a little, he has been saying for 3 years that this could be his last Christmas. 30) Pope Francis: health problems, and lost part of a lung, 88 this month and 89 at the end of 2025, drop it but return it in case we have more hits this year. 31) Buzz Aldrin: 95 years old in 2025, in good health, I would replace him with Jim Lovell for 2025, I can see him reaching 96, but I will consider keep him as well in case the 2024 list reaches 10 hits. 32) Clint Eastwood: He's still in good shape, he keep filming, drop him in 2025 and bring him back in 2026 and from then on keep him forever in the future lists. 33) Desmond Morris: without known health problems, 97 years in 2025, and will be almost 98 at the end of 2025, coinciding that his birthday is in January, he already used a cane in one of his last public photos, I would take the risk of dropping it, but like Aldrin, Sandy Gall and The Pope will keep it in case they got more hits this year.

I agree, I honestly have a feeling that Greenspan will die next year at 99, the same with Baxter, as for other choices like Pete Murray, Sandy Gall and Hans Blix I can't be too sure enough, although Murray looked good in his birthday photo, with other choices like Castro or Hackman I have noticed that they have lost a lot of weight in the last year, they were thinner, but others like Clint Eastwood and Buzz Aldrin I could honestly see them easily surviving 2025 and seeing 2026.

(edited after the last publication of Lafaucheuse below)

suddenly the 1924 cohort of the genarians website started to colapse, there had been no deaths from the 1924 cohort since June with William Russell and now this month, Dub Jones, Madeleine Riffaud and now Ella Jenkins https://www.genarians.com/in-memoriam-current.html

Yeah, when I posted I forgot that I was sending a new message instead of editing the previous one.

Ella Jenkins is a hit for  @MariNisia Congrats 1924: Woody Woodbury / Maria Riva 1925: Jiro Ono / Lee Grant 1926: Stanley Baxter / Helen Gallagher 1927: William Daniels / Lisa Lu 1928: Jean-Marie Le Pen / Marilyn Maye 1929: Alejandro Jodorowsky / Vera Miles 1930: Jordi Pujol / Mary Costa 1931: Raul Castro / Marianne Koch 1932: Gerard Kennedy / Abbe Lane 1933: Willie Nelson / Joan Collins RIP Ella Jenkins

I was wondering who would be #1 on the list next year, I imagine it would be Jimmy Carter, but if he became a hit before January, would Dick Van Dyke be #1 again or would they give that spot to Noam Chomsky or Joanne Woodward? who seem also be one of the first-class immortals. Although I can see Dick Van Dyke at #1 if Noam and Joanne became a hits it too before the year is out, next year DVD will turn 100 years.

Congrats @MariNisia
