What is the highest number of correct picks out of the 20? (Old, middle aged, young or sick. I would have thought 5+ would be very difficult??)

You could get a heap of "hits" by selecting old people.

In 2022, Elton Johns Wig and I scored 7 hits each.

ClarkeM	242	7	Tom Parker	67	George Perez	33	Ayman Al-Zawahari	29	Olivia Newton-John	27	Bill Turnbull	34	Queen Elizabeth II	4	Doddie Weir	48
Elton Johns Wig	209	7	Tom Parker	67	Tom Smith	50	Jean Louis Trintignant	9	Ayman Al-Zawahari	29	Olivia Newton-John	27	Mikhail Gorbachev	9	Pele	18

In 2023, the most was 5 shared by the following:

Thanks a heap for this.

Surprised that the Dalai Lama is only on my list - getting very old and noticeably quiet in public now.

12/11 points, I'd only take that risk I think if it was a near guarantee but even then, I'm not sure. Given we typically get around 4-6 hits as the average for the winner, I want to be hitting a decent score average per person.

And yes, I have been that strategic about it in the past but then again, it's worked haha...

Looks like I really mucked up first time playing. I'll need all of my low selection/uniques to come in to even be a chance.
I should have stuck with Artie Lange too.

If your goal is to win, maybe. But sometimes your goal is simply curiousity with your list and how well you do and that’s totally okay too!

Fair point, still at least I'm not one of the five with Jimmy Carter this year

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

I should've put Howard on my death list. Fox have dragged him into the commentary box and he looks half-dead.

Is that last GIF referring to the maximum amount of points if he passes this year?

****ing not going with Doddie cost me the win. I'll never get over it.

Not sure if a record but I just went to the 2013 thread, and this was a score!

342 The Falcon Strike (Michael Winner 23, Damon Harris 38, Harvey Van Cliburn 22, Bonnie Franklin 31, Peter Harvey 32, Jack Pardee 24, Zach Sobiech 82, Henry Cecil 30, Chopper Read 42, Nelson Mandela 5, Ray Price 13)

I don't know if that'll ever be beaten. That's nuts!!! WOW

I could go with a cheeky 6 from last year as my sub also died - but obviously no points for them

The one I'm most frustrated with from last year is deciding to remove Ady Barkan late and adding Sultan Kosen to my final 20 instead

That’s a tall order…

If Kane Cornes thinks so then it stands to reason that everything must actually be fine.

If Kane Cornes thinks so then it stands to reason that everything must actually be fine.

Reading that article you're left with the uneasy feeling that Cornes is actually willing something to happen.

Zac Sobiech - forgot about him

Kornes has Clayton Oliver on his BigFooty Death List.

 

[Forward Press]

I've been a participant for maybe three years now (maybe Clarkey can confirm how long) and imo the most memorable moment must be when someone got points for Shinzo Abe. That's difficult to top.

Thought we had some points on offer but nope...

 

[GreyCrow]

We have our first points of the year

Mbeki was a unique selection for 19 points for 1 poster - Woefully Inept
