Death Impends 8,181 Posted December 29, 2024 TJS finally gets a US President hit, my last big DDP goal. Even if it doesn't mean that much when everyone picked him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ahem! I assume you mean everyone who matters! That's going to push my fairly successful team even lower, I believe. And yes, I picked him for 2025, so that's that ruined as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,276 Posted December 30, 2024 Just noticed that my theme team Windsor's OBE doesn't seem to appear on the Theme Team League Scoreboard. It has 37 points and should be in joint 20th place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eesti 158 Posted December 30, 2024 So, the leaderboard is extreamly tight just 48 hours before the end of this calendar year. I opened my laptop after Jimmy Carter death news first time over a month and decided to take a brief overview of the standings and pick out names for teams who needs or could die for them to win. As for the leader, who didn't pick Carter, the points melted with other competitors. However he still doesn't need anyone else to die or may be happy with the death of his remaining 8 names. Death of Burrell would steal the win from him as it is a joker for another team 10 points shy of the leader. Total of 11 different teams could still get the win with a single hit! 1. It's A Grim World After All - 122p (No more deaths needed to win, 8 options) Theo Burrell (potential addition of 13 points) his death would drop him down to second place Noam Chomsky (7 points) Stephen Darby (10 points) Erik Jensen (9 points) Steve McMichael (11 points) Linda Nolan (11 points) Esther Rantzen (9 points) Michael Tilson Thomas (9 points) James Whale (10 points) 2. Banana's Peel Slippers - 119p (needs at least 3 points to win, 5 options) Graham Caveney (9 points) Sudarshan Maharaj (8 points) - would secure solo win Craig Maxwell (10 points) Steve McMichael Esther Ranzen Joe Shannon (no obit) Nigel Starmer-Smith (9 points) Michael Tilson Thomas Sean Wallace (10 points) - would secure solo win James Whale 2. David Quantick's Showbiz Pals - 119p (needs at least 3 points to win, 4 options) Theo Burrell Frank Caprio (6 points) - would secure solo win Chuwit Kamolvisit (8 points) - would secure solo win Craig Maxwell (10 points) Steve McMichael Esther Rantzen David Elmore Smith (fat points) - would secure solo win Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale 2. The Sound of the Underground - 119p (needs at least 3 points to win, 4 options) Theo Burrell Graham Caveney (9 points) Joe Doering - (10 points) would secure solo win Steve McMichael Esther Rantzen Richard Scolyer (9 points) - would secure solo win Nigel Starmer-Smith (9 points) Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale 5. Octopus of Odstock - 118p (needs at least 4 points to win, 2 options) Frank Caprio Kieran Cavanagh (no obit) Matt James (10 points) - would secure solo win Chuwit Kamolvisit Steve McMichael Patrick Murray (11 points) - would secure solo win Esther Rantzen Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale 6. Plan B from Outer Space - 113p (needs at least 9 points to win, 2 options) Black Bart (7 points) Steve Gaines (8 points) Denis Law (9 points) Dolph Lundgren (8 points) Dutch Mantel (11 points) - would secure solo win Steve McMichael Patrick Murray Linda Nolan Esther Rantzen Michael Tilson Thomas 6. Smart Beta - 113p (needs at least 9 points to win, 2 options) Pat Dodson (7 points) Antero Laukkanen (dead on 13.12.2024, worth 12 points, no obit?) COULD BE WINNER IF THERE IS A OBIT! Jeanette Lee (9 points) Steve McMichael Zack Orji (12 points) - would secure solo win Larry Pressler (6 points) Esther Rantzen Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale 8. I Will Not Die, it's the World that Will End! - 112p (needs at least 10 points to win, joker Burrell is still alive) Theo Burrell (J) (26 points) - would secure solo win Frank Caprio Chris Evert (7 points) Michael Flatley (7 poins) Patrick Murray Linda Nolan Esther Rantzen Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale 9. Ethnic Cleansing - 111p (needs at least 11 points to win, 1 option) Joe Bugner (7 points) Theo Burrell Eugenia Cooney (10 points) David Linden (8 points) Steve McMichael Patrick Murray Linda Nolan Esther Rantzen James Whale Bruce Willis (11 points) 9. GUN Fishing - 111p (needs at least 11 points to win, 0 single death options) Theo Burrell Graham Caveney Jeanette Lee Steve McMichael Patrick Murray Sam Neill (7 points) Linda Nolan Esther Rantzen Michael Tilson Thomas James Whale 11. Southerners Stiffs - 110p (needs at least 12 points to win, 1 option) Theo Burrell Joe Doering Erik Jensen Steve McMichael Patrick Murray Linda Nolan Esther Rantzen Mel Schilling (13 points) - would secure solo win Joe Shannon James Whale 12.

Whitehouse 880 Posted December 30, 2024 I'm coming up again with the third iteration of the Last bandmember alive list. I had some notable misses this year. - Henry Lee Famborough - The Spinners - Dennis Thompson - MC5 - Doug Ingle - Iron Butterfly These bands now join other extinct bands like: - Motörhead - Jimmi Hendrix Experience - Viola Beach - Canned Heat - Ramones - Buddy Holly & The Crickets - Moody Blues - Gerry & The Pacemakers - Special mention for Blood Sweat & Tears. cause they are the almost polar opposite of the list. No original member left in the band while still touring but all 7 of the 8 original members are still alive! Also Manfred Mann and the Hollies are mostly complete.

The biggest surprise of a band completely in tact is Black Sabbath, at least with their classic lineup. Surely one of them would’ve died by now but no they’re all still here. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aerosmith are officially deceased as a band. Come to think of it, so is Black Sabbath. No more making music or touring. But who knows, the Eagles also finished their career. But they were lured into a Las Vegas residence at the Sphere with at least 17 shows in 2025 with prizes as low as $190,- Yaay...... BTW; Ozzie is the longest survivor. He was noted in the inaugural 1987 list. That's 38 years ago.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
