Re: Who's next to die?
I guess I'll take a couple more opinions... I never heard of her either, but I recognized the Versace name and just assumed I should have heard of her?GrannaC wrote:I'm with you there, I never heard of her until today.

Thanks Mal! Good clause to the rules!buffettbride wrote:Maybe a caveat to the rules should be that we are not allowed to do anything to "help" one of our candidates win the contest. It should go without saying but ya never know.

Re: Who's next to die?
I know who Donatella is. I think her death would be noteworth on the 6 pm news simply because of her brother. If Ann wants to choose someone else, though, I think she should be allowed.nycparrothead wrote:I guess I'll take a couple more opinions...

Um... I've thought it over..... And have decided that this rule stinks! If you are that dedicated to the contest that you off your celebrity, then you deserve the money!buffettbride wrote:Maybe a caveat to the rules should be that we are not allowed to do anything to "help" one of our candidates win the contest.

Nice idea, but no!

I think it just means that, if you do, you can collect the $24 (or however many). You decide if it's okay.st.somewhere wrote:So...

Maya Rudoph does a great impersonation of Donatella on Saturday Night Live:

Her brother Gianni Versaci was murdered at his mansion by Andrew Cunanan, who killed four other people on a shooting spree and then killed himself on a houseboat in Miami.
