The Unknown Man

Roberta Flack for me.

Updated mine for Linda Nolan.

Third hit for me with Linda Nolan.

Chomsky once again.

Black Bart out as sub 3. Sophie Kinsella as my new sub 3.

Le Pen out. Tom Brokaw on the main team. Black Bart as my new sub.

JMLP and Yarrow are my first two hits here as well.

First two hits of the year for me with Jean-Marie Le Pen and Peter Yarrow.

Chomsky, for sure.

While waiting for the 2025 site to be up and running, here is my analysis for my team and their likelihood to be a hit: Tim Bilton: Stage IV melanoma for over a decade. seems to be doing fine. 20% Noam Chomsky: Seemed to be writing articles on recent events until now. Severe stroke and prematurely reported dead last year. This surely has to be the year he goes. 95% Roberta Flack: ALS since 2022, no news reports recently. 50% Chris Hoy: Terminal prostate cancer, could go the same way as Bill Turnbull in 2022. 30% Sophie Kinsella: Glioblastoma, memory loss. Personally, I think she's a dead cert to me. 100% Steve McMichael (Joker): ALS for four years, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame from his hospital bed. Looks fucked to me. 100% Lee Meriwether: Alzheimer's since 2024, lost her daughter recently, and slowly declining. 60% Linda Nolan: Despite her recent falls, far too stable for someone with Stage IV breast cancer. 45% Isabel Peron: Still immortal by my acclaim. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the year she finally goes after picking her for almost 20 years. 25% Larry Pressler: Pancan in remission, but you never know what might happen. 45% Esther Rantzen: She may continue to be in the press through 2025, but very sick. Could see 2026 or could go this year. 50% Ian Smith: Terminal lung cancer, despite being happy at Christmas, his cancer is the sort that sets you to fucked. 80% Nigel Starmer-Smith: Bedridden since 2021. Dementia and unable to communicate. Hopefully this could be the year he actually goes. 80% Frankie Valli: Frail and seems close to his last legs. 60% James Van Der Beek: Stage 3 colorectal cancer, but you never know if it's too early for him. 35% Dick Van Dyke: Old, showed signs of slowing down at the end of 2024, nearing 100, but will he reach his centennial birthday? 60% James Whale: How the fuck is he still alive? 70% Bruce Willis: See Nigel Starmer-Smith: 75% Emily Willis: Comatose after cardiac arrest in 2024, in a vegetative state since then. 85% Joanne Woodward: She's a goner for sure. 100%

I voted for Noam Chomsky.

Good luck to everyone. Here is my team.

Jimmy Carter is a hit for me. Tippi Hedren moves into the team. Julie Goodyear as my new 3rd sub please.
