The Celebrity Death Pool 2007

The Game Room

Rosie has the right answer.

182

I think that would be midnight CST.

183

Oh great you just spoiled my plan.

184

Current standing in the “popularity” list are as follows.

Fidel Castro is in first place.

Making a strong second place showing is Gerald Ford.

Those two have almost as many votes as the next five put together.

Billy Graham is in third place, closely followed by…

Ariel Sharon, Elizabeth Taylor, and Tammy Faye, who are in a three way tie for fourth.

In fifth place is Kirk Douglas.

Mohammed Ali is in sixth.

Lindsey Lohan is in seventh place, with…

Farrah Fawcett in eighth place.

With Dick Cheney, Dick Clark, and Keith Richards in a three way tie for ninth.

My calculations above may be slightly off, as I haven’t taken into account several changes for posters who picked Augusto Pinochet, and haven’t made a direct statement about which alternate to choose. In another week or so I am going to assume that they want the first alternate on the list, and tote them up accordingly.

At least I don’t keep track of who posted what, just how many picked and particular person.

I guess I can add an alternate for a few hours. Gerald Ford will work. Of course, he will be the only one on this list that actually dies in 2007.

Just a note, I have played since Death Pool 2003. There has been once change in this list in that time, Ronald Reagan was originally in the number 10 slot. I have scored a total of 7 points in 4 years. I am starting to think I am not very good at this game. :dubious:
