Did a brief check, and think that puts Crowdsourced at 29 names in common w/ the main DL, including 16 of the names in the Crowdsourced's top 20

I bet I was the only person to have Chasey Lain and Bushwhacker Butch on my crowdsource list

Something I was curious about - there is a reason why Zsa Zsa and friends appear in the Drop Forty and Deathlist every year.

 

I bet I was the only person to have Chasey Lain and Bushwhacker Butch on my crowdsource list

 

Without checking my notes, I believe you were.

Who was the most bizzarre pick?

[msc 18,477]

Who was the most bizzarre pick?

 

Of the 50, or entirely?

 

Of the 50, I am at a loss to describe Sinead O'Connor's popularity. Suicide is too risky to take a punt on (see the continued breathing of so many in that category) and if we were going unstable Irish, I would assume Shane McGowan was right there.

 

Entirely, it would be hard to beat the inclusions of Mick McManus and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. They didn't qualify, both because not enough people voted for them, and due to the unfortunate ability of having died a few years ago.

That's what happens when you blindly write down people from the "People with Alzheimer's" category on Wikipedia to pad out your list...

Gina Lollobrigida was very popular, finished about 20 points off qualify. She also changed gender midway, as the first two teams to suggest had her as Gino in a spelling error. Lys Assia got over 100 points, and apparently won Eurovision in the 1950s.

 

I had heard of neither.

 

For off the wall, I did like that someone plumped for double digit points on Dave "Fit" Finlay.

It can happen to the best of us.

Voting has now closed, and the votes have been tallied up.

 

 

I can confirm the following people just missed out: Lupita Tovar, Ayatollah Khamenei, Lys Assia, Peter Vaughan, Paul Gascoigne, June Brown, William Russell, Jimmy Greaves, Peter Maxwell-Davies, Caroline Aherne, Ian St John.

There was nearly 400 picks in all, but those were the ones that came within 10 points of a spot at the end.

 

Are there two Ian St John's then as he appears to be at number 40 in the list. I'm not being sarcastic as I don't know anything about sports or sports commentators. It was only last year I realised that Jimmy Hill and Jimmy Greaves were different people.

 

For those wondering I've used my crowd source list as my alternative 50 with the exception of Louise Plowright who I replaced with Peter Sarstedt so you can see for yourself how bizzre or otherwise my picks were.

I thought I'd made a terrible error there, but not to worry, a quick glance over the list suggests I forgot to take out the former listing for some folk after I had tallied up the last voter's votes.

 

So yes, the "just missed out" Ian St John is an imposter, as the last 27 points got him on the list itself. I'll edit the "near misses" post.

2nd March 2016.

 

Cricketing great Martin Crowe has declared out for 53 after a long battle with cancer, to give The Crowdsourced Deathlist its first success of the year. Crowe was named Player of the Tournament at the 1992 Cricket World Cup, and was a contendor for Player of the Deathlist, with a creditable 3rd place on merit. After some glaring misses in the early months of the year, The Crowdsourced Deathlist is finally on track. There is no doubt the quality of its team will shine through before long, and it will start bowling out the opposition.

Country singer Joey Feek has died after a short cancer battle, producing the second success of the year for The Crowdsourced Deathlist. Alongside her husband Rory, Joey had released a number of songs in the past few years, including "When I'm Gone" and "To Say Goodbye". With those levels of predeterminism, she'd have been a cheat player at deadpools. Their most recent album was top of the charts in the US country charts (and the Christian charts!) and was Grammy nominated. In recent weeks, the family has been keen to tell us that Feek was in talks with Jesus. It now appears that Jesus has decided to take those meetings back to his place. Feek was forty, and appeared in 36th place on the list.

NANCY AIDS THE CROWDSOURCED DEATHLIST

 

3/50

 

 

 

6th March 2016

 

 

Former American First Lady Nancy Reagan has just said no to another year on The Crowdsourced Deathlist, by becoming it's third success in a week. A former actress, Nancy married then actor Ronald Reagan in 1952, and was at his side as he became Governor of California and later President. During her time as First Lady, she launched the famous anti-drugs campaign with help of the Grange Hill kids, and campaigned for stem cell research. Reagan was 94 and was in a respectable 11th place in the inaugural Crowdsourced Deathlist. After a quiet start, there are signs the 2016 list is revving into gear.
