Make that our _former_ #2 player. Looks like I’m on the board with 22 points for [Lulu Roman](https://www.imdb.com/news/ni65249763/?ref_=nwc_art_perm). And pfft! She was gone! ---

Gloom, despair, and agony on me. I didn’t have Lulu, now I’m number 3. If it weren’t for Carl Dean I’d have no points at all. Gloom, despair and agony on me! ---

Despite having an 80s TV theme, I didn’t have George. I went with Shelley Long for my Cheers selection. ---

Wha…wha…wait? Am I not in this competition this year? I must have screwed up. I submit my “surviving MASH cast” list annually and Loretta Switt just died. Did I miss out?
