> [@GuanoLad](#): > > If Shannen Doherty is reading this thread, my sympathies to her family. True. But she reported that she had breast cancer that spread to her lymph nodes in 2015. She later revealed she had stage 4 cancer in 2019. She’s holding on just to spite all the death poolers in all the death pools world over that keep picking her. And good on her for continuing to survive. (Even if she keeps robbing of me of points as a result.) ---

Whoops, meant to post this yesterday.

Thanks everyone for not copying my picks, each one an original. I was determined not to re-use any of last year’s list, but mistakenly included Dwayne Hickman, fine but I won’t goof up again in 2023. So many to choose from, yet I see the same names over and over - you mean people actually want to win? Two sidesplitting jokes that never get old: “Celebrity X is on my list so is guaranteed to survive” and “I dropped So-and-so this year so naturally she is doomed”. ---
