Estuarian Float

I also haven't received a confirmation for Bet on Black

Same here Now be nice to the newbies..

RULES SIMPLIFIED: -You get fake money for every point you score in the Derby Dead Pool before May 3rd -You can also acquire bonus money -You'll bet that money on horses when I post their names and odds of winning in April -Players who bet on the 1st, 2nd & 3rd place horses will have their money multiplied -Player with the most money after the Kentucky Derby race on May 3rd wins the pool -All you have to do to enter this game is post your DDP team name in this thread before New Year. You won't have to do anything else until its time to bet on horses in April. You can pick horses with high odds or horses with names you like. Whatever you like.

I know... Are my instructions too complicated? Do Brits know about the Kentucky Derby?...

I'll be entering! Just havent made a team yet.

Just sent in my Bet on Black team. Bedsoring '20s will come later.

Is it just me lacking research or are there not as many easy picks this season?

Since I'm always wrong... I guess I'll go with Billy Graham so I can save him for 2014.

Ahmad's kind of a toss up. He seems to have good health habits and a strong will to live which makes me think he'll beat it, though he may have already reached the point of no return having waited this long. He does look pretty healthy up in that picture, but I guess looks can deceive when youre young with cancer. Here's how Jenn Lyon looked a week before she died of cancer... http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a127/zigmeisterxiv/P7290059_73.jpg Ps... Something unrelated. Survivor: Australia's Michael Skupin has fallen over into a pot of hot water.... http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/24199216/survivor-star-mike-skupin-lands-in-the-hall-of-shame

UPDATE: Jen Arnold's cancer is stage 3 uterine. Shes having a hysterectomy. http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/12/11/dr-jennifer-arnold-uterine-cancer-choriocarcinoma-hysterectomy-adopting-daughter/ So... Captain Chorizo! What does the reality tv thread have to offer to this year's DDP? -Jen Arnold (Stage 3 Uterine Cancer)* -Ahmad Givens (Stage 4 Colon Cancer, though he seems to be taking good care of himself)* -Joanne Borgella (Cancer)** -GinaMarie Zimmerman (Embarrassment? Seems to be resilient though)+ -Andy Herren (Word is he's become a chronic drinker since winning BB. Which brings up...)+ -Todd Herzog (Is currently in rehab for severe alcoholism)+ -Uncle Poodle (HIV)** -Puck Rainey (Still getting into trouble)+ -Jerry MacDonald from Big Brother (long rumored to be ill)** -Rudy Boesch (Is now 85, seems he can go longer but you never know)+ + = obit guaranteed * = obit questionable ** = obit very questionable

Reality TV director James Marcus Howe is murdered in Los Angeles. He worked for several shows including America's Next Top Model, Cake Boss, and American Ninja Warrior. http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/industry_news/2013_Dec_06_james-marcus-howe-killed

An article about the depopulation agenda. Did ya think the world's wealthiest would allow us leeches to keep on trashing their planet? http://thecommonsenseshow.com/2013/12/03/depopulation-of-the-masses-has-begun/

“If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels”. -Prince Phillip, Queen Elizabeth’s husband, Duke of Edinburgh, leader of the World Wildlife Fund

Everybody wins! Lock it up.

Jen Arnold from 'Little Couple' has been diagnosed with "a rare type of cancer". Do dwarfs usually fare well against cancer? http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/12/06/little-couple-star-suffering-from-rare-form-cancer/

NOONE!

Oh I thought this was the new one. I put none

Renee Rogers who competed alongside her husband, son and daughter on The Amazing Race: Family Edition has died of pancreatic cancer at 51. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/shreveporttimes/obituary.aspx?n=rhonda-rene-rogers&pid=168188502&fhid=6175

Harry looks pretty healthy on this JFK TV special. His voice is weak but his thought and speech are sharp.

Are Ray Price and Wubbo Ockels famous enough? Or maybe it's Bob Barker's year..

LET US HAVE THIS ONE THING! They are pulling in the obits and cancer updates after all. Though I do agree with Rotten that it is a stretch to put the young and healthy ones on a watch list. (If you do want to see what the show is all about, watch one of the early seasons because seasons 19 and on suck. Can't go wrong with Borneo, Australia or Africa. Pearl Islands is probably the most humorous season. Palau and China are also some of my very favorites.)

WHAT! Wow. That came out of the blue. I don't get why he'd wanna go on TV in that state though. Now all of his sake shooting drunk scenes from Survivor China will be used against him...
