How many of you went through the good trouble of not picking John Lewis? Cause I did.

[Toast 16,140]

I picked him, but at least he was near the bottom.

[Death Impends 7,974]

The last of US civil rights's Big Six has been deep-sixed. The great John Lewis's pancan diagnosis meant most teams steered clear of him, but three still selected him and march down the scoreboard.

I imagine there’ll be a huge shake up in the inverse leaderboard with Olivia de Havilland’s death? Fortunately I didn’t place her too high...

[gcreptile 10,970]

My buffer is used up. But if I count correctly, I'm still leading, tied with DI.

Well, somewhere between RBG and Leon Spinks I will be getting an undesired differential "hit", I think.

 

Edit: Its very crowded now in the 15-17 point range, with DI and me, The Quim Reaper, Newjack, drol, Joey, theoldcrem... the players at the top remain the same, but it's so much closer now.

[Death Impends 7,974]

26 teams didn't give a damn about Olivia de Havilland's ancient age, feeling she was the most indestructible of the 100 Club. But the Reaper felt to each his own, focusing more on the fact this was a centenarian in 2020...

 

Once more I share the lead, but as it stands Reptile would win the tie because he has two hits to my three.

[Joey Russ 7,226]

I expect at least one of George Alagiah or Leon Spinks to really kill my chances this year because of how high up they are...

[paddyfool 379]

This suddenly got a lot closer at the top.  The gap between 1st and 7th place dropped from 10 points to 4. 

 

Those of us languishing more than 20 points behind the leaders are very much still out of the running, of course.

I'm surprised that 7 of the 10 least popular picks are still living as of July.

[Joey Russ 7,226]

Hopefully people aren’t going to bang their heads if they picked him now that Frankie Banali has gone. 

[Death Impends 7,974]

Cum on feel the silenze, Frankie Banali. He was avoided by all but grobler, msc, and Neobrakeon, so there won't be many riots over him going quiet...

Seems like Pat Smullen has jockeyed up the scoreboard a bit.

No change on the score of the YW team.  Phew!

[Death Impends 7,974]

Pat Smullen's smellin' pretty rancid now, proving a hurdle for nine teams. Still a few months left till the final furlong...

That’s my inverse chances ruined. Had RBG in the middle of my list. Better luck next year 

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Oh dear, I didn't have her on my list! Mwahahahaha!

[Death Impends 7,974]

With the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who could be more fucked than the American populace? 24 teams in the Inverse Dead Pool. But The Quim Reaper now reigns supreme, having notoriously eschewed RBG.

And it's RBG...

... I guess 2nd place could still be nice.

[YoungWillz 21,044]

Dammit, I didn''t have Lee Kerslake on my list either!

 

My score is stagnant.

 

I'll take the current score as my final score I guess.

[Death Impends 7,974]

Toss Lee Kerslake into the Heep. Only seven teams selected him, who now won't find it Easy Livin' in the terrain of the Inverse. Newly-minted frontrunner Quim Reaper remains unaffected.

Had Stiles at bottom of the shop - tack on a single point for me here.

[Death Impends 7,974]

Eight Stiles selectees are now feeling like nobheads. Current runner up Reptile was among those who picked him, which does not impact his placement but does see the (tooth) gap between him and Quim increase by a point.

Don't think many people will have picked him, tbh.
