Crowdsource Form Guide 7: "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton Having submitted Kamala at #'2 in every Crowdsource Deathlist to date, I'm in need of another permanently hospitalised wrestler to take up his position in this year's list. Why don't you join me in giving the nod to "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, notoriously the nicest guy in sports entertainment. However, he hasn't received the appropriate karma for his habit of picking up rookies' restaurant and hospital bills, and has had numerous heart issues going back over a decade. In 2016 he was even at the "going lost and wandering around in public dazed and confused" level of illness, so will he be taking the Midnight Express out of here in 2021?

Can we get Sinstadt on the DL in 2021? Maybe his love of performing arts puts him into their eyeline?

Wasn't there some talk about how the use of mustard gas by Iraq in the 80s war may have led to an entire generation of Iranian leaders with massive respiratory issues, hence why so many of them are dropping dead of COVID?

*nearly breaks my leg rushing to the site to be the first to post Alliss Doesn't Live Here Anymore*

Texas Dolly goes heads-up with cancer yet again.

For fans of zero-hit DDP team Color Me Abbad, I think Mohamed Abarhoun is the first person to die this year that got a QO and would, theoretically, have broken the DDP record for earliest hit alphabetically.

Tom Smith has "December 27th DDP team spoiler" written all over him.

Paul Jain, aka Mr. Fixit, tipster for various newspapers (most recently the Daily Record) and with a sizeable online following of various degenerate gamblers, dead at 55.

WEP, are you perchance the DDPer behind Not Gone Yet Still Forgotten?

Ah but the issue there was, if I remember, the Daily Mail mentioned a "tribute" rather than a "memorial", right?

I thought of a possible loophole (this isn't based on anything in particular, so it's not a clue as to who I'm picking in 2021). If a sportsman dies, their death isn't reported anywhere, but a "Mr X Memorial Cup" is arranged and that is reported about in a QO source, would that count as a QO? You can't really have a "Memorial" if you're still alive....

Why don't you come on over Valéry?

I'd like to thank Floyd Little's hospice nurse. Gets the drive for 5 back into motion for 2021.

Couldn't speak English properly, a rapist and sexual predator, but truly one of the all-time great wrestling minds.

EHHHHHH YOU KNOW YOU GET DA CANCER AND DA TUMOR AND YA GO BANANA

IMDB doesn't have deaths listed for three castmembers though. Hunt, obviously. Johnny Boyle, who was a choreographer that taught Jimmy Cagney how to dance, doesn't have a death I can find quickly online but he was born in 1900, so it's safe to say he's gone. However, the onus is on you to find proof that John Patterson is dead.

What about people who are only famous for being "ill" in a late 80s hip-hop sense?

For the "misspelled names" entry, the numerous ways Pope Benedict is typed was my biggest problem.

Was batting Soloveitchik as a "guaranteed hit but low points" pick for the DDP but I've not got the best handle on the important of various Jewish religious leaders for QOs.

OK, in case my pick does die in the next 11 hours, I'll use as my backup pick.... (PM'd Joey)

More blueticks saying he's alive. I'm sticking with him.

Wait, is he alive again?

Is this the third time I've entered a Midsummer/Advent contest and my pick has died between entering and the contest starting? ffs. Give me 20 minutes to pick a shitty backup.

Ville Valo's doing fine m8

Have that classic issue now where I found a name for the Advent Avalanche that would be a QO and would probably also be a unique, but I don't want to play him there in case they make it to January first. Just to prove I'm not bluffing, they have exactly the same name as a (more famous) sportsman.
