2025 SDMB Celebrity Death Pool

Tommorrow morning I will make the awards official.

ohboyohboyohboy, I get an award!

yeah, ok, one ninth of an award

And a final scoreboard, I presume?

Enjoy a day off.

Well. I did get the awards done.

The Inside Track with The Grim Reaper award goes to ten players who had two unique posts, They are phungi, Captain Lance Murdoch, Mahaloth, Tyronne, lel, Rivkah Chaya, Hatchie, biotop, commasense, and escheral.

The Opening Kickoff award goes to Culling the Herd for Peter Yarrow

The Final Hours award goes to Larry Borgia and Rivkah Chaya for Brigitte Bardot.

The Robbing the Cradle award goes to phungi for Tiana Mangakahia, who was thirty,

The Quantity Not Quality award goes to Jeezums. I would worry about them as eight picks join the choir invisible.

Drumroll please!!!

Our winner is phungi, By a measly five points they squeezed out Jeezums.

Let’s have a round of applause.

Congrats! And thanks Baker for your dedication to the cause!

Seconded.

:face_with_crossed_out_eyes:

So I didn’t win then? Darn.

Well played, all. And well hosted as always. Thanks, Baker.

you need to use more batshit

I think poison’s against the rules.

Congratulations to our winners, and thank you Baker for your dedication to hosting this pool! This was my first year entered and you made it a fun one.

I managed to get on the list, at least.

BTW, in watching one of those “In Memoriam” reels I discovered Quentin Willson had died back in November. Willson was one of the original Top Gear presenters and then left to do a similar show on Channel 5. Top Gear was subsequently jumpstarted with the successful team of Clarkson, May and Hammond.

I’m pretty sure no one had him but thought he deserved a mention.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you Baker for your patience and dedication to this nice perversion!
And good luck to you all next year! A couple of your lists look like a wish list, may those get many points.

When do we see the final scoreboard? I still haven’t gotten my 55 points and unique pick for Criscilla Anderson. Possibly connected to that, I’m unclear as to where those last 45 points for It’s Not Rocket Surgery came from, along with a unique pick.

I got an award! Thanks for running these, Baker.

Congrats to all, especially phungi!

Thanks again, Baker!

2025 CBS Big Brother Houseguest Mickey Lee died of cardiac arrests following flu complications on Dec 24, 2025. Age 35

I don’t think she would have qualified as a “Celebrity” in Dec 2024 as she only became “famous” last summer.

I was sitting in the Top Ten until December 30, when I got bumped out by a congresscritter I’d never heard of.

Ah well, that’s the way the Reaper reaps, I guess.
