However there are ones like Tatsumi, who looked like this in april:

Is she even alive in this picture? Looking forward to the 115th birthday pictures if she makes it that far, impressive how some folks like this keep going

Nabi Tajima looked like that for years and still managed to be the one who became 3rd oldest person ever at her death, outliving many healthy-looking supercentenarians.

True, I would say that Sutcliffe or Branyas Morera will be the WOP one day but you never know, both could drop dead next week.

If I should bet that someone will become WOP that's Tekla Juniewicz.

Looks relatively well and there is a gap of one year between her and Antonia Da Santa Cruz (who is also most probably the one currently gravely ill, except Tanaka).

Tajima could lift her hand(s) up even during her final year. Kura Bingo would be a slightly better supercentenarian to compare her with, but Tatsumi's decline has been much faster than Bingo's.

This is a photo of Tajima at 114

Probably Tatsumi could be a little better than how a bad photo portrays her, too.

Wouldn’t be surprised if we found out they just mummified her at some point and pretended she was still alive to have the title honestly :D

Yeah I wonder too ! And I also wonder if the news about her health are that pessimistic or on the contrary if it’s just a regular flue or something like that

She looks like she’s dying

I am sure Tanaka will make it to 6 January

I am not sure at all for this, as she was described as "receiving treatment beyond normal daily medical care" and no new photos were taken and birthday party was cancelled. These can't be good signs at 119.

 

However, if it makes it through January I could see her somehow lasting a bit more as it seems like January is routinely her unlucky month.

I reckon she is more cold than hot if recent updates are correct.

I think that the reason why it got hot is because Kane Tanaka became 119 years old today

Lucille Randon is quite impressive ! She's a little bit overshadowed by Tanaka and that's understandable but I would be quite proud to see her as the "oldest woman alive" at some points, cause at her age, the fact that she's not is unbelievable ! I'd love to see a French take the title for a little while. She seems quite healthy and still active from the recent videos of her so I'd say she can easily reach her 118th birthday but not sure about her 119th, everything can happen at those ages… 

Randon has declined much less than Tanaka did during the last years, so she has a decent chance.

Tanaka is reportedly ill 

I hope not. That would ruin my dream of her marrying Harry Kane so that her new name becomes Kane Kane.

Sounds like she is on a NG tube or / and is on a ventilator.

apparently Tanaka had a "slight" fever in the end of December and was admitted to hospital as a "precaution" but was discharged yesterday (or today ?) and is back to drink coca and eat ice-cream... Damn she's immortal ! I would have thought she was on her way out but it seems like she's not yet

Also happy to announce Robert Young is joining the list of dorks! That's overdue!
