I guess he died either of extreme overeating or malnutrition!

My guess is a heart attack or stroke. Those reality shows are terrible. The so-called "expert" advice are doctors who are more interested in being a celebrity than they are of the well being of the people on these shows. Extreme make-over was one of the worst of these shows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5e_WikGjXk

Maybe not exactly reality TV, but it's a Bravo show, close enough.

Daisy Llewelyn (Blood Sweat & Heels) has stage 3 liver cancer. A lovely addition to your 2016 list , but she prolly won't obit so I'm posting her here and not under 'Possibilities'

Huge omission from my reality show DDP team I blanked on when creating 2016 squads. Her being on a Bravo show meant Daily Mail would copy and paste an Obit from somewhere else if she died.

I agree she was a big miss, I had forgotten about her. And now I'll go back to forgetting about her again.

Frankly, her getting a QO is shocking.

Not too sure where to post this one. Catfish 'star' dies at 23.

Fuck, that's the lass who was Catfished by the guy who died before the episode aired.

 

Good episode, but it's got nothing on the Catfish GOAT:

This show is starting to look cursed. This is the 4th person who made it to at least semifinals to pass away.

I hear ya. I don't pay a ton of attention but it just 'feels' like the poorly-named Survivor show has more cadavers but maybe you're right. Per capita Biggest Loser has to be up there too.

 

I did watch the first 3-4 seasons of Idol before it was old hat, so I remember Mr Smith quite well. His obit was interesting in that he explained he never got a music career going despite being pretty good with his pipes and somewhat popular as I recall. Gotta be true of so so so many of the top 12 contestants each season.

This show is starting to look cursed. This is the 4th person who made it to at least semifinals to pass away.

I looked at the number of contestants in semifinals and it seems like there were something like 24 to 32 contestants per season, for a total of 387 contestants. So now the mortality rate is slightly above 1%, which seems reasonable considering it's been an average of 7 years since the show for these contestants.

Christina Grimmie of "The Voice" fame has been shot dead. She was 22.

Christina Grimmie of "The Voice" fame has been shot dead. She was 22.

From an article re: Pulse gay bar shootings, also in Orlando: (http://m.wflx.com/wflx/db_331891/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=qpX7yAHP)

 

"The incident follows the fatal shooting on Friday of 22-year-old singer Christina Grimmie, who was killed after her concert in Orlando by a 27-year-old Florida man who later killed himself."

 

I never even began to put those clearly distinct incidents together, why on earth are they?? Say what you will, the inference has been made, and I find it cheap lazy journalism.

An article in today's Observer claims "reality" television is near-enough strangling the life out of itself with increasingly irrelevent ideas.

 

Just thought I'd - like - share that

Oh aye and...my Antonio Perkins search drew a blank so not sure if the story of the guy shot dead during a live Facebook broadcast is lurking elsewhere on a forum.

 

Here's the erudite BBC summary of events: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36566635

'Erudite' is a bit stuffy.

And frankly can be eliminated from the sentence and nothing is lost.

Cheers SC, I was trying to distinguish this take on the story from the tonnage of sensationalist crap already celebrating the same events.
