2022 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

The Game Room
1463

Same here. But I can handle finishing in the top 25 (I believe I’m currently 25th, though Barbara Walters may push me down some).

1464

The (ex)Pope has died. Long live the Pope! Pope Benedict

1465

I’m not liking this ‘all of my 2023 picks are dropping in 2022’ business either.

1466

It’s a flipping bloodbath out there.

1467

Oops.

And it’s looking like we might need to research Time of Death this for Final Hours award? though at this point, we still got 20+ hours left, and given the rampage Mr. Reaper’s on at this point, the Final Hours award might actually be awarded during the final hour…

1468

From my link above: With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican,” the Vatican said in a statement early Saturday. No cause of death was provided.

1469

I am morbid, but not so morbid as to research times of death. If it’s reported, as with the Pope, I’ll use it. But if two celebs die on the same day now I’ll count Final Hours as a tie. We once had the Opening Kickoff like that.

1470

Wikipedia says Walters died on Friday the 30th.

1471

Quite a day!

Shot up to 4th and there’s still time. Go team!

1473

Pele, Baba Wawa, and Benedict all dying in the year’s final days is gonna mess up a lot of 2023 lists!

I’d had Don West as my sole 2023 alternate. I’d better find a new one, the way the picks are dropping like flies!

1474

Seems like if there is a tie the game should go into…sudden death.

1475

Hah!!

1476

I’m going to have to file that one for future use.

1477

The “Final Hours” award is going down to the wire. I don’t remember this much late ACTION INACTION grave diving by the unwitting participants in many a year. It’s really heart stopping breathtaking pavement pounding exiting exciting news.

1478

I was hoping for a finish in the top ten. Although the way the last couple of days have been going I might still have a chance.

1479

Yay points
Don’t have long to get my 2023 list in

1480

I was hoping to stay in the top 5. Now I’m just barely hanging onto the top 10!

1481

Could be the final points (Pointer points?) of 2022:

1482

looks like Anita’s death was pointless
