Celebrity Staying Alive Pool 2024
Seeing as we've become so crap at Celebrity Death Pool -- A Twist
Pick 5 celebrities/famous people aged over 80 and 5 aged over 90 (the octogenarians can also be over 90) who you predict will survive 2024.(age as on 1/1/2024)
They die ....no points
If they're still alive at the end of the year, you score as many points as their age on 1/1/2024 for those aged 80-90, and 1.5 * their age for those who were 90 and older at the start of the year.
Other rules will be made up as needed.

Re: Celebrity Staying Alive Pool 2024
You can enter at any time, and add to your roster until it reaches maximum capacity at any time, but no changes are allowed once you have added a name to your list.

It may only be the information sources. But last year appeared to be a big death year for actors and musicians.

Re: Celebrity Staying Alive Pool 2024
Still very few women.......but we're talking about a generation in which women had to fight hard to do their thing and be known for it ...and some died for the cause so......
Oh wait, that's still every fucking generation....

Re: Celebrity Staying Alive Pool 2024
Women of the generation we're working on were usually pushed off the screen well before the men. So many more women live into their nineties than men, we probably should have done a deeper dive for results.

Y'all forgot to protect Joyce Randolph, Trixie from the Honeymooners. She was the last surviving cast member at 99 years.
