Recommended Posts

DBN obit for Jimmy Spicer. Still no sign of a UK obit however...

Jose Jose is a hit for several of us here. :)

A quick update with 4 new hits:

José Josè, Ginger Baker, Diahann Carroll (unique for GC), and Jimmy Spicer with the prophesized NYT obit.

At the top Clorox, seemed to close the gap with the Josè José hit, but DI countered with the delayed Spicer obit, resulting in extending his lead by 10 - still within range of the 6ix9ine hit though. Spicer also lifts Joey onto the podium.

Assuming his death is reported in a qualifying publication Hollywood pimp Scotty Bowers aged 96 is a 'hit 'for me in this pool.

Guardian obit, congratulations:

Update time - only three hits, but Leah Bracknell and Marieke Vervoort are massive ones. Third hit was Scotty Bowers. Julie Gibson, sadly, does not seem to have received a QO for this pool. Plus, I forgot to give Grim Up North joker points for Fernando Ricksen - so he gets a big push here, that should have happened the last time:

Some had both Leah and Marieke, some had only one, some had none. DI only had one, Clorox had both, and so the race is suddenly VERY close now.

I was thinking about waiting some for John Andretti's expected demise, but both DI and Clorox have him.

It does look like the race is now definitely down to those two.

Have a small and tired update:

 

Two people score with the late Julie Gibson obit. DDT gets two unique hits with al-Baghdadi and Edwin Bramall. Two more people had Gay Byrne. And I had previously missed to give drol points for Leah Bracknell, and Cpt. Chorizo for José José.

I had updated the score in the meantime without posting here... so I am not 100% sure, but 99% sure that Ivan Milat is also a new hit, pushing Banana onto the podium, plus another hit for drol (and a couple others).

I can only go by what I see.  If these have been tallied, feel free to ignore this post.  According to my (SirC) team list the following are not crossed out....could be QO in a couple cases, not for others:

Ginger Baker
Kate Bowler Sub: Holly Clegg

Jimmy 'G' (Gestapo)

Tom Jones Sub: Ivan Milat

Marieke Vervoort

I'm usually a bit behind with the crossing out, the scores are up-to-date though. Holly Clegg got no QO, Jimmy G. Gestapo isn't dead yet?

Nobody's claimed Clive James so far for this one. I will along with any one else who picked him.

Yes, a new update as we head into the final month.

 

Firstly, after I already had to belatedly give points to people for Leah Bracknell in the last update, I now had to do it again - I must have gotten distracted when I added the points. Fixed Business even gets joker points.

Well, that's why I need to overhaul my Excel file, so that I just need to make one change on the longlist, instead of going through the masterlists for each participant individually...

And I am certain that the DDP system makes it easier for me when I update the scores next year.

 

Anyway, Clive James was a popular hit here. Banana kicks Joey off the podium. But DI and Clorox both had him, so no change at the top.

Colin Skipp was another unique hit for DDT who, after a somewhat disappointing first half of the year, has been gathering points here and there like a squirrel...

Agnes Kluckhenn is a non-obit for Pedro.

And finally, Yashuhiro Nakasone is a hit for The Unknown Man and Prophet.

OK, I think I have updated the masterlist, including Stuart Fraser - for whom I will need at least something regarding his age. Though, I hope that if he gets a QO, that QO will give us something anyway.

Ah, a new update, and so soon as well... let's get this day out of the way:

 

Stuart Fraser, as I posted elsewhere, gives 61 points. The birth year wasn't entirely clear, so I am stuck between giving 61 and 62, through a lot of guessing (and Spade's research). So the 61 points are a (very small) punishment for the vague date of birth.

Pete Frates was a very popular pick here, a little risky, but with many points. Kate Figes was picked by two people. Paul Volcker was a unique hit for me.

The new scoreboard sees Joey back on the podium but otherwise the top is unchanged.
