Utter brilliance. I await the next 14 with baited breath.

 

 

 

He actually got George Michael right!

 

 

He got King Bumboil of Thailand as well

 

 

He sure did, but of those two, that was by far the easier one to predict.

I'd let him off with that there was several serious entries to the Hares Death Pool that nominated corpses in the past, and I know for a fact that corpses have been nominated for the Deathrace. The DDP has even had corpses nominated to it.

People nominated dead folk for this years TCD. Thankfully, everyone has avoided that for the 2017 edition.
