DL Prediction Game

Recommended Posts

Unsurprisingly, tied with the Committee in picking McCain, so it's still 3 up to me:

 

YW - 10; DL - 7

For some reason I didn't predict Simon, so the inevitable climb back by the Committee starts here:

 

YW - 10; DL - 8.

I was the other way had Simon neglected McCain 9/50 only one ahead

Also had Denis Norden here.

 

YW - 12; DL -9.

 

I've now equalled my hit rate for last year...3 and a half months to go...

Apparently, I'm at 12 hits.

 

Edit: McCain, Carlisle, Lee, Miller, Graham, Rae, Carrington, Ellis, Jowell, Norden, Aznavour, Hawking, Smith, Maynard, Stefansson.

 

Edit: Oops, actually 15 hits. I forgot Carlisle, Norden and Maynard.

Unsurprisingly both me and the Committee picked George Bush Senior.

 

YW - 14; DL - 12.

Deaths: 

1.  John McCain (chosen by DL)

6.  Stefan Karl Stefanson (not)

10. Billy Graham (DL)

11. Lord Peter Carrington (DL)

13. Denis Norden (DL)

15. Stan Lee (DL)

26. Doug Ellis (not)

27. George Bush Sr. (DL)

40. Devin Lima (not)

42. Barbara Bush (DL)

45. Connie Sawyer (not)

47. Tessa Jowel (DL)

48. Stephen Hawking (DL)

49. Aretha Franklin (not)

 

So my prediction of who they would choose is matching my personal deathlist numbers with 14, and is 2 above the official deathlist :) 

DL did not include 5 of these people, I think their only mistake from my list was not including Stefan Karl Stefanson and Aretha Franklin, for the official deathlist the other three: 

- Doug Ellis, not completely famous, his death wasn't a certainty. 

- Devin Lima, he doesn't even have a wikipedia page, I wouldn't have known about him without googling him from Deathlist. His death was pretty likely, but not very deathlisty. 

- Connie Sawyer, she was 105 and in her day had her fame, but she wasn't too famous or her death wasn't expected.

Well, June Whitfield was on my list, so that's 15 hits for me, and yes I will say so far.

 

Can't see me getting beat by the Committee this year.

 

YW - 15; DL - 12.
