Okay kiddies. We know you've been longing to know exactly how many Death Watcher's picked the same potential soil candidates you did. It's only natural. Don't be ashamed (Sicko!). So, after ripping our hair out to tally up your sick obsession with death...or is that our sick obsession...regardless... we've come up with the following statistics for that grand event we affectionately know as the Old Blue Eyes Memorial Celebrity Death Watch. Here goes!

There are 44 players in the 2000 Old Blue Eyes Memorial Celebrity Death Watch. 223 different celebrities were picked to turn up not quite living by the end of the year. Unfortunately, 1 was already dead before we even got started. In addition, two players listed a celebrity twice on their lists. These "Double Dippers" will play the 2000 O.B.E. with only 12 picks, just like the fella who thought Llyod Bridges was still breathing.

Another interestng fact is that 3 players picked SARAH KNAUSS, who died two days before the 2000 O.B.E. started. Because all three entries had been submitted before SARAH's timely demise (she was 119), the Alterante rule was exercised. The stats below reflect the alternates. SARAH has been, uhmm, eliminated.

Anyway, that means there are 222 active picks in the Death Watch. Of those 222, 137 were on only one list (the "solo flyers"), 40 were on only two lists (the "double whammies"), and the remaining 45 were on three or more lists. The number one pick this year was BOB HOPE. He appears on 34 lists. Next up is RONALD REAGAN who appears on 30 lists.

The complete breakdown of celebrities as well as who the heck some of these folks are is as follows:
