Spade_Cooley 9,540 Posted January 8, 2014 Four uniques. Surprised nobody else went with Yosra El-Essawy, glad I was able to be the only ones to bag Chen Ziming and Marlise Munoz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 84 Posted January 8, 2014 Great stuff, thanks Got a unique with Hart. Awesome. Surprised I'm the only one to go for Datchler too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dean1991 116 Posted January 8, 2014 Ha. Just flicked it on, couldn't be better timed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,002 Posted January 8, 2014 Two uniques. Fernandes was admittedly my intentional unique pick, albeit unlike my attempt at that last year he's actually known to be quite unwell, but didn't think John McCabe had a shot until New Year's when all the big guns posted their teams and no one else had him.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 8, 2014 Ooh this is great. I feel just like one of those comic-book-movie-obsessives when a little bit of a movie script gets leaked or something. Except I've actually had sexual intercourse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,941 Posted January 8, 2014 Tracy Connolley not surprised at as a unique, stupidly high-risk choice but Archie MacPherson I was suprised at; he's being battling cancer for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 8, 2014 Haha.......... there's a team called "Shame Thatcher Can't Die Twice"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,109 Posted January 8, 2014 Two years in a row I have Len Goodman as a unique hit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 8, 2014 LOL @ sheer amount of people who picked Ian Watkins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,002 Posted January 8, 2014 Interesting to see the sheer amount of teams that put on Crowe and/or Granger. Obviously those two were still going to be popular among the top contenders but didn't think they'd ever reach the Drop 40, which is looking pretty likely.

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 8, 2014 Holy fuck, Schumacher too. Wow, the guy might have even bought himself "pole position" on the drop forty for fucks sake. How likely was that 2 weeks ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 8, 2014 Holy fuck, Schumacher too. Wow, the guy might have even bought himself "pole position" on the drop forty for fucks sake. How likely was that 2 weeks ago. Unbelievable turnaround. I haven't sorted out the Drop Forty page yet (I'll do that next time) but I know who's in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,624 Posted January 8, 2014 That was quick. Good Work TMIB. Six uniques, including my joker (none of whom I actually expect to die this year, but you never know). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted January 8, 2014 Well done TMIB, excellent job. The glut of deaths at the start of 2014 can't have helped proceedings. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 8, 2014 Haha, some new (presumably American) entrant calls himself "The Wanky Yankee". I'd like to shake that guy by the hand.... er, his other hand, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,203 Posted January 8, 2014 Brian Hart died in Epping, Essex, just for record's sake. Also Biddlecombe, died in England, not USA. These are not digs, just trying to help. PS Bloody Hell - Kirsty Howard is still alive?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks so much for that. Now I merely have the same number of unique picks as Time does. Thanks a lot, here's what I think of that, Dead and Dusted. No offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 9, 2014 What's the most consecutive years a teams been in? OptaDeath: 19 - Jesus Jones has competed in every single Derby Dead Pool since 1996, 19 in all. Retainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted January 9, 2014 ok. last comments for now. Anyone noticed the slight er, "running theme" of Mad Maureen's list? Obviously an old bat who hates homos - could it be Brigitte Bardot maybe? And I like the fact that we have two theme teams based on fat people, and their only common pick is James Corden.
