Pumping Them Out In The Birthing Pool 2024

Recommended Posts

Based on @The Old Crem original game back in 2022.

 

The game is simple. Pick 20 celebrities who will have a child in either 2024 or 2025. 

 

Rules: (the same as original rules)

 

1. Teams have to be sent in by 31/12/2023. Please send teams to me via PM and do not post it on the thread until after deadline to avoid copycats. 

2. You can pick either the mother or father of the child, but the parent has to be a celebrity.

3. You score points once the celebrity, celebrity's partner, surrogate gives birth or the adoption of a baby under 8 weeks old is announced. 

4. The qualifying source is either a newspaper report or a post on verified social media account belonging to the Celeb or their partner. 

4. Celebrity is defined by the pick having a Wikipedia page that existed before 1st December 2023. 

5. You can't pick both likely parents of the same child in the event that both mother and father count as celebrities.

6. If there is any public doubt as to the identity of the father of the child, then the pick will be 'lost'.

7. Picks must be legal (i.e. the parent must be over the age of consent in their home country)

8. No pregnancy that has been officially announced or reported in a Q/O source as a strong rumour is allowed. 
9. Any pregnancy that is announced between now and the deadline will not be eligible for points and you can chose to then withdraw that celebrity and replace them (but can also keep them in case their have a second birth in 2024). 
10. Each team is allowed one joker who can gain double points. 

11. If pregnancy is announced and there is a misscarriage or still birth then player gets half points (10 points turns into 5 etc).
 

Age of parent at time of birth:

 

Mother:

17-30: 10 points

31-35: 15 points

36-40: 20 points

41-50: 40 points

51+: 100 points

17-30: 10 points

31-40: 15 points

So not to be accused of copying. I've posted my entry above. Thatcher has sent in their submission but I will not post their entry until end of December.

I have a list written up; I just need to edit it a bit more as I'm at 21. One of mine was Ashanti, who really should have waited a month to tell us.

There is a record of 9 11 players so far for 2024 which is amazing. I'm currently sick which isn't great as I need review scoreboard for 2023, however for 2024 everything is up and ready. One player needs to give me their sub pick and they have been contacted.

Good to see someone resurrected the pool I started back in (I think) 2017. Bit more popular than the original run's 3 entrants.

I'm posting the teams this afternoon because I feel like death warmed up and will probably have an early night. If anyone submits anything before midnight GMT they will be accepted but probably won't get reviewed until the morning.

If it wasn't for the fact Halle Bailey had rumours from fans and media alike saying she was pregnant, Zsa Zsa's Leg would be in the lead right now as she's just announced that she's given birth (looks like it was a 2023 baby though). Sadly I had to ask Zsa Zsa's Leg to give me another person.

yes, I almost had her on my list too but had heard really strong rumors the baby was born in November by the time I submitted, and she seemed disqualified anyway by the intensity of the rumors.

Congrats @lilham. I was literally about to go through everyone today as I have a day off. Will still do that now just in case anyone has been missed. Scoreboard will be updated soon.

Just seen the news. Will update scores shortly. It's near midnight right now so won't be able to double check everyone else until after work tomorrow.

 

Edit: Scoreboard update as of 10th March 2024 thanks to Vanessa Hudgens turning up to Academy Awards pregnant. @lilham, myself, @CaptainChorizo and @Zsa Zsa's leg get 15 points. The race has well and truly begun.

  • CaptainChorizo - (Vanessa Hudgens) - 15 points
  • LadyFiona - (Vanessa Hudgens) - 15 points
  • Zsa Zsa’s Leg - (Vanessa Hudgens) - 15 points

I put Yung Miami on my list because of her ties with Diddy: either as an attempt to avoid jail or whatever other dumb reasons she had. She is notably named in a lot of the lawsuits and press this week. No pregnancy news yet though.
