throbber Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Then everyone has a 2 week sweat that the celeb holds on or they lose 2 chances (said celeb and the swap out) seems fair Ok fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee_62 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Its not really fair though surely - there will likely be an event where someone relatively famous has an accident then everyone will jump right on it. Just seems a bit of an unfair rule. I will probably make a list but i don't really know much about celebrities and their life expectancies. Ooh! How many people would have swapped in Michael Schumacher if the rule had been around then...and regretted it? I'm in. Have enjoyed following the 2015 version as a neutral. List is already prepared and will be PM'd on Monday. ETA Damn...beaten by Njord to the Schumacher example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems a bit of an unfair rule. I will probably make a list but i don't really know much about celebrities and their life expectancies. But..... Remember Schumacher . Once picked they have to survive 2 weeks , and if they do that they are usually out of the woods for that year. And re life expectancy, I posted this in the 2015 thread, but always worth a revisit to help you out. More charts here. http://theconversation.com/music-to-die-for-how-genre-affects-popular-musicians-life-expectancy-36660 Average for a musician is 56.

throbber Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I actually thought of Schumacher as i was making my point, or Richard Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I actually thought of Schumacher as i was making my point, or Richard Hammond. Then what's your point? The whole two week thing is the detterent. You may lose a pick altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that it wasn't a good idea but i was talked around! Still makes it a tad less moral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Njord Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Anybody wanting to test the famous rule might look at Mrs Vinnie. Used to look like.. Now looks like... Cervical cancer -twice , skin cancer and a heart transplant in the 1980's..... Obviously I ain't picking her if I'm highlighting all this .

Deeboy Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 A question here - is Vinnie Jones' wife famous in her own right or just for being his wife? If the latter, does she count (if she were to die)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njord Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 That's the challenge. Part of the game old boy, either loads a points or a waste of a pick. Unless the pick is used to dig a 8x3x6 deep of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
