msc 18,483 Posted November 4, 2014 Repeating a trend from 2013, the proposed joker died in October. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted November 4, 2014 40 names jotted down in the back of my diary, with one or two scribbled out (Lynda, obv!). Must get round to seeing how they're all faring... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,337 Posted November 4, 2014 Good providing no more people die in the next two months have already had to replace Bellingham and Maynard who I had down as joker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,542 Posted November 5, 2014 Had a fever dream about Mario Van Peebles dying last night and me being really annoyed that I hadn't picked him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,658 Posted November 5, 2014 21 nailed-on dead certs, but many likely to go before the start line arrives. 10 more of the obvious candidates on the back up list. Nowt, like, really exciting in there but I'm reckoning on swifter and more widespread scoring than 2014. Not sure we have a Wilko in there who'll pull a u turn and grasp at life so well.

Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted November 12, 2014 The usual. 25+ names, all of whom will be granted eternal life by being on my DDP team's list. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainChorizo 1,986 Posted November 13, 2014 I haven't really pared down my list yet just wrote down names throughout the year,but it looks like the person I have pegged for my joker won't make it to Jan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,155 Posted November 13, 2014 How's my 2015 shortlist looking? Nearly everyone on it already died. Unlike my 2014 list. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,007 Posted November 13, 2014 Currently have a 70-name-long shortlist (so hardly a shortlist at this point...) that I've started to whittle down over the past couple weeks. Have only locked on the names that seem guaranteed deaths so far but will be astonished if every one of those makes it to the new year. EDIT: And with Diem Brown's death not every one of those names will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,116 Posted November 13, 2014 Not even started my list. Probably do one on the 30th December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,542 Posted November 19, 2014 Seems like there's a lot less in the way of locks for 2014 than there have been in recent years? Although admittedly the three locks for 2014 were Johnson, Harper and Simon and look how well that's gone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although admittedly the three locks for 2014 were Johnson, Harper and Simon and look how well that's gone. Don't forget billy graham he was at deaths door near the end of December and pretty much everyone picked him. To me this year has been the most unpredictable since i have joined this site though maybe their was one even more unpredictable before i joined . I have about 10 names locked and about 25 that I need to whittle down to 13 , 10 for main list and 3 back ups . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 4, 2014 Some fine tuning of my team which I hope will do better than this year's fiasco. I think I've had more misses than hits this year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted December 4, 2014 Given my poor performance this year I'm stuffing my top 50 with the older crowd. Still all legitimately famous though, so not as low hanging as some nobody whose family are toying with switching off their life support machine which will definitely be covered by the Daily Mail because they are third cousins once removed to some TOWIE celebrity whose only claim to fame in the last 6 months was that the DM were able to long-lens her cellulite whilst she was showing off her 'so-called' bikini body in Ibiza whilst allegedly indulging in wild sex parties...which means publishing an obit for the original nobody gives the DM an excuse to publish the cellulite pictures again. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,007 Posted December 5, 2014 It feels like the only really "big" picks on the competitive side this year to croak were Sally Farmiloe, Katherine Crowe, Casey Kasem, and Wojciech Jaruzelski, and the latter two weren't worth a lot pointwise. Maybe a few others could be considered borderline, but regardless it's telling of how odd a year it's been when there's still a couple theme teams in the top 20. Shortlist under 50 names now...
