JOSEP FRITZL ROSE WEST Another two who come under the "Famous for being a Criminal" category. However, in this case they both pass the Wife Test. My better half recognised both names immediately so they meet the fame threshold. Now, I'm sure you could argue that Sidney Cooke is as notorious as those two, but that is the way the (Sidney) cookie crumbles. As the rules state: "The host makes no apologies for any inconsistencies in this – the deciding factor is whether the host’s partner or kids have heard of them or not!" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
