Yeah, similar feeling - she's second on my sub's bench after Kanya King (who's in play since Johnnie Walker didn't make the start). I'm guessing she's a Drop 40 bonus too.

Death Warmed Over 16 Posted Wednesday at 13:53 We have a lot of popular hits so far this year. I am curious to see what the 2025 leaderboard looks like. Thanks to our leaders pulling together the 2025 details. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Grimace 382 Posted Wednesday at 13:57 (edited) Counting my chickens before they hatch, so here goes... I've got four hits so far: Rinder (8), Yarrow (9, D40 confirmed), Black Bart (10, D40 confirmed), now Nolan (11, D40 retained?) for a total of 38. Total is 35 if Nolan lost D40 status. Surely that is enough for Team of the Month? I'm certain many of these are jokers for others, and with two of the others could edge me out. @Death Impends did Nolan retain D40 status? (Edit - in 2024 she was on 138 teams, so I am certain she did for 2025). Edited Wednesday at 14:02 by Evil Grimace fact checked numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Warmed Over 16 Posted Wednesday at 13:58 I've also got 4 hits, but with LePen instead of Rinder 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 890 Posted Wednesday at 22:20 We're almost there everyone. We're looking to see if anyone was willing to lend a hand to the committee to gather info on the new celebs for 2025. Message me, Death Impends or time if you were looking to help. There's roughly 900 new names to sort out, so any help would be appreciated. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
