It’s 13 candidates + 3 optional alternatives, not 10 + 3. In your place I would declare the alternatives as candidates with immediate effect. This late in the calendar the alternates should not come into play anyway.
This is my final final version. No changes, just a clean list for confirmation.
Andy Taylor
Bruce Willis
George Thorogood
Roberta Flack
Linda Ronstadt
Mitch McConnell
Julie Andrews
Eric Idle
Jonnie Irwin
John Daly

I apologize.
I wouldn’t normally nitpick something like this but it is the Death Pool and spelling is important. It’s Britney Spears.
And now the last change: Beckenbauer (footballer and Kaiser) is back in, so Elon Musk (egomaniac) must go. Perhaps next year. And as an alternative in case someone drops from my list in the next 2.5 hours (Berlin time) or whatever time counts. I don’t think more than one is needed at this time, if at all.
I’ll be hearing from you all next year! All the best to all!
Thanks to the Death Mistress, you are great! (And I loved it that you made a clean list to make the job of the Death Mistress easier! A very nice and professional gesture.)

It’s taken care of, no problem. You wouldn’t believe how many ways some names get spelled. I’m thinking next year of listing the English spellings of several people. I won’t even try for non English names. I’m just glad Qaddafi is dead.

Oops! I just looked back, and I never submitted a clean list, because mine was numbered! an artifact of the Word document where I composed it. I think the Death Mistress already kindly accepted it, probably because I submitted it early, but I want to play by the rules. Thus:
Annette Dionne
Cecile Dionne
Shannen Doherty
Lynette Fromme
Bob Newhart
Liza Minelli
Bruce Willis
Roman Polanski
Selena Gomez
Yoko Ono
Kate Micucci
Linda Ronstadt
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Alternates:
Donald Trump
Charles III of England
Johnny Depp
Lynette Fromme is probably best known as “Squeaky,” but I think enough people know her real name is Lynette, so I submitted that.
John Williams was on my original list, but I changed him to Linda Ronstadt-- did this a while ago, and our Death Mistress was already notified.
It’s mentioned in the OP bui entries end at midnight Central Standard Time, and if you are, say, outside the US you have till past your local midnight.
8 hours, 26 minutes
Main List
Bruce Willis (guy from Moonlighting)
Bam Margera (dignified Radio/TV guy)
Shannon Doherty (guessing not a lone pick)
Andy Taylor (from Barbarella-themed band)
David Milch (Deadwood seems appropriate)
Teri Garr (Roberta Lincoln, Star Trek)
Linda Ronstadt (poor poor pitiful me for picking her)
James Whale (UK media host, not the reanimated corpse of the 30’s director)
Ken Watanabe (Tokyo Vice was great)
John Daly (big swinging/partying golfer)
Tatum O’Neil (ex Mrs McEnroe)
Ron Jeremy (big video star)
Linda Nolan (Irish singer/actress)
Considered
