Angie gets an obit from the DailyMail. She wasn't even from one of the earliest seasons. Looks like Survivor contestants are now accepted by the Brits as famous people. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9145761/Survivor-star-Angie-Jakusz-passes-away-40-New-Orleans-three-years-cancer-diagnosis.html

Maybe the guy who made this 2015 song and music video titled, "Coronus, The Terminator" can give us a little glimpse of the future.

South African author and healer Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa has died at 98. One of my DDP picks. Only African news outlets reporting his death so far that I see...

New Orleans DJ and radio personality Oliver Stokes Jr. aka "Black N Mild" dies at 44 from the virus.

Looks like Kobe Bryant was selected in DDP 2008. I believe that qualifies him for a mention in List of the Missed.

I was just googling cast members from one of my favorite old shows - Road Rules X-Treme. Surprised to find out that Angela Trimbur went through a breast cancer battle. https://www.thezoereport.com/p/after-breast-cancer-rediscovering-style-can-change-everything-19277969 https://people.com/music/jewel-invites-dancer-cancer-duet/ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/actress-angela-trimbur-reveals-personal-battle-breast-cancer-1165612

Submitted The Bedsoring '20s this year. I told TMiB that I had exactly 20 survivors from my past years of Bedsoring 20s, but I was mistaken... there are 21. So all of the survivors of The Bedsoring '20s except for Bill Macy are on my list this year....

Hi everybody! Hope you all are doing well. What a coincidence that MiB just posted this topic, because I just came in to let you all know that sadly I will not be entering team name Star Dust in this year's competition. I've recently taken a highly time/energy-consuming career path and have not brought myself to do much research. I'll still however put in my theme team The Bedsoring '20s. I'll try and bring back Star Dust in the future. I hope you guys have fun together this deathpooling season!

Alright! Ive been thinking about forming a new death pool while waiting to join more Dec 31st deadline death pools and keeping my interest in the death pool community. Its also for people who were interested in yearly deathpools but missed the deadline. I hope everyones past my Barack Obama comment. My death pool would be 6 months long -starting on July 1st and January 1st each year. Ive also thought about allowing an unlimited number of celebrity picks, but having a score system based on percentage of picks hit or something like that. I’d also like your suggestions for any score system factors, gimmicks, obit sources, website display, record board listings, prizes, etc, whatever… I want at least EIGHT people to tell me they would join my pool if I formed it. If I don’t get EIGHT people, then I wont bother. Hope you’ll like it!

Didn't know until the other day, but Shawn Portwood died in December and would've been a qualifying hit. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2877935/Amber-Portwood-s-father-dies-placed-medically-induced-coma-following-liver-surgery.html

A fusion of the Derby Dead Pool & Kentucky Derby! The ultimate objective of this deathpool is to pick the winning horse at the Kentucky Derby and make the most pretend money from it. The gambler with the most money after the race wins! Your first 20 "racehorses" will be your team of DDP picks. For each hit, you earn pretend money to bet on real horses on Derby day which is May 3rd. You can divide the pretend money you win from your DDP hits on any of the Derby horses. You can put it all on one horse, or spread it around. If your horse scratches, you get your money back. You cannot redistribute your wagering money after you've already placed a bet unless the horse you bet on has scratched. You get a dollar for each point you score in the DDP. You can also get bonus money. (See below) If the winning horse is one of your horses, the money you placed on that horse will be multiplied by 5. Second place horse money will be multiplied by 3. Third place horse money will be multiplied by 1.5. The money you don't spend on horses also goes into your final score. You can start placing money on horses when I post the roster in this thread. You can also get money for bonuses Each of the following bonuses is worth $10 -Person born or died in Kentucky -Person born or died in Indiana -Person born or died in any town named Derby -Qualified for a DDP bonus (joker, unique pick, etc) (only get paid once) -Person was 100 or older You can also scavenge for specific photos of your deceased hit. Each of the following can pocket you another $20. You can only use each of these bonuses once for each hit. (NO PHOTOSHOPPING!) -Post a picture of the deceased on or standing next to a horse -Post a picture of the deceased with a bottle or glass of bourbon -Post a picture of the deceased holding one or more roses -Post a picture of the deceased in Louisville, KY (must be recognizably Louisville) -Post a picture of the deceased holding a Louisville Slugger -Post a picture of the deceased with Muhammad Ali -Post a picture of the deceased enjoying fireworks -Post a picture of the deceased on a steamboat -Post a picture of the deceased in a dirty river -Post a picture of the deceased wearing a large or decorated hat -Post a picture of the deceased standing on their head -Post a picture of the deceased cruising through the ghetto -Post a picture of the deceased holding either cucumber or cream cheese -Post a picture of the deceased looking down from a tall building -Post a picture of the deceased eating something deep-fried -Post a picture of the deceased being interviewed by Diane Sawyer -Post a picture of the deceased on a bed with wheels -Post a picture of the deceased playing the trumpet -Post a picture of the deceased sitting on a cooler -Post a picture of the deceased playing basketball -Post a picture of the deceased in a hot air balloon -Post a picture of the deceased with an object or in a situation that alludes to the name of a known former KY Derby horse (I will judge whether it is too vague or not.) *I reserve the right to add more photo quests To enter the Kentucky Derby Dead Pool, just confirm with a post in this thread with the name of the team you want to enter, and you'll be signed up! You don't need to reveal your picks, only your DDP team name. You can play theme teams too. Deadline for entry coincides with the deadline for DDP 2014.
