3 Frank Field
4 James Whale
5 Simon Cowell
6 Linda Nolan
7 Shannen Doherty
8 Dolph Lundgren
9 Rob Burrow
10 Stephen Darby
11 Steve McMichael
12 Dario G
13 Patrick Murray
14 Derek Draper
15 Theo Burrell
16 Toby Keith
17 Pope Francis
18 Tom Baker
19 Bruce Willis
20 Jimmy CarterReally little time for research, but I have faith in finishing top 15 for fifth year in a row.
As I see, Lundgren, Darby, Dario G, Pope Francis and Bruce Willis are not too popular names by top dogs, so my success mainly depends on them going.

Gg banana. For me 4th year in a row in top 15.

Unfortunately I only had 2 nights in Estonia but I managed to get to Pärnu, Tallinn, Tartu and Valga. It snowed constantly, apart from when this picture was taken (and yeah, I took it myself because I had no mates, the shame). This was great because snow is great. I want to revisit Tallinn and Tartu, with more time and company.
I knew nothing about the Baltics before going but wanted to fully immerse myself. At one point I made Texan friends but patched them because they only wanted to eat Tex-Mex food. Now feel like I can call myself cultured, classy, and just better than everyone else.
You should visit my hometown and the summer capital Pärnu in summer. Then the place is really amazing. Tallinn is good to visit any time of year. Also I suggest to go to Saaremaa in summer.

What the hell am I doing in Latvia? Fantastic question. I still don't have a job LOL. Externally I might seem a little insane, but I've never felt better mentally. Tomorrow night I'll be in Estonia (shout-out to @Eesti). I'm all alone with a tiny backpack, a Monzo card, and a dodgy goatee. Lots of mischief ahead, no doubt.
So did you get to Estonia? How was the trip?- 2

Congratz again to Spade. My first ever podium in this game. Next challenge will be the Championship. But maybe not this year.

Congratulations for your (very possible) podium place!
Thanks! Hell of a year, considered I made very little research last year. And congratz to Spade for the most impressive win of all time.
For my next year team, I still haven't done any research yet. Similar to last year. Just few hours on the 31st of December. -

Hit for my B team

Any QO for Edgar Savisaar?

He will die just before or after Brazil wins the World Cup this year.

Bill Turnbull. Hit #11 for me. Still second.

3 hours ago, YoungWillz said:Been out today. Through tears, Olivia Newton-John is my first hit on my main theme team. Not who I thought would go first.
10/20 dead from my list now. Back to second place and gap with leader is melting. Need to have 3-4 people from my list to be unlucky and die this year to win. One per month would do.
I got 2 ALS terminally ill guys (Barkan, Burrow) who look like death for some time now and could go any time. 2 old guys with cancer (Field, Pele). And some people full of cancer (Alagiah, Turnbull, Robertson, West, Doherty, Nolan).
Maybe one of the ALS ill guys (Burrow), one old-timer (Field) and for example West/Robertson, Alagiah/Turnbull and Doherty could secure this for me.
I feel like Nolan has tricked me again and will survive this year.
Also made a huge mistake not picking Bennett and Steiner who I somehow missed.
-
Trintignant is another glorious hit for me. First place is only 5 points away now.
-
Rising to second position. 13 points behind David Quantick's Showbiz Pals.
He has 8 different names left: Deborah James, Vicky Phelan, Julia Reichert, Bill Steel, Susie Steiner, Dick Vitale, Tom Weiskopf and Alyson Williams.
I have 9 different names left: George Alagiah, Ady Barkan, Rob Burrow, Shannen Doherty, Olivia Newton-John, Linda Nolan, Gavin Robertson, Jean-Louis Trintignant and Bill Turnbull.
Same names: Frank Field, Pele, George Perez and Don West.
I am feeling strong with my lineup.

Numerous news sources online (eg this one) reporting that Karl Vaino has died aged 98.
They state that his death date is unknown. All they know is he died earlier in 2022 and was already buried by 16 February.
Great riddance. Rot in hell.

I have 13 names left for the year:
Tom Baker (90) - I have no idea why I have chosen him to my team. Old and fragile, but surely could survive the year. 15% chance of death this year.
Theo Burrell (37) - Will be gone this year or next. No long future with her. 50% chance of death this year.
Jimmy Carter (99) - Old and fragile. Also has terminal illness. Will he see 100? Maybe. Kind of 50/50 with him. 50% chance of death this year.
Stephen Darby (35) - ALS will take you down. Usually within 2 years. He has survived almost 6 years. Will be gone in few years. 25% chance of death this year.
Shannen Doherty (53) - A lot of cancer in her, latest update saying her cure is working and it is a miracle. I don't believe in that kind of miracles. Will be gone in few years. 30% chance of death this year.
Pope Francis (87) - Old, but not that fragile. Probably a wasted pick. 5% chance of death this year.
Dolph Lundgren (66) - Lucky to be alive according to the man himself, but I think this is a wasted pick. But with cancer you may never know for sure. 5% chance of death this year.
Steve McMichael (66) - Looks like shit. ALS since 2021. Will be gone in few years. 50% chance of death this year.
Patrick Murray (67) - Cancer has spread. Not very much information on him, but clearly will be gone in few years. 30% chance of death this year.
Linda Nolan (65) - Has had cancer for almost 20 years. I think neither god or devil wants her. 20% chance of death this year.
Esther Ranzen (83, soon 84) - Delaying the cancer has worked, but this is not a cure. Assisted suicide is still on the table. 30% chance of death this year.
James Whale (73) - Really? I have no fucking idea. 40% chance of death this year.
Bruce Willis (69) - With his diagnosis, people usually live 6-8 years. He has this diagnosis for 2 years now. Probably a wasted pick, but might be gone around 2027-2030. 10% chance of death this years.
So as I see it, I got 7 hits within the first 6 months and now might struggle to get 1-2 with the remaining years. FML
