| No Noose Is Good Noose |
| Years in DDP: 3 Best position: 8th (2008) |
| This team took a rather controversial approach in 2007 & named people due to be executed as their candidates. Denied, by the new rules, the chance to do that again, in 2008, they've kept their name & named another 20 interesting names, which got them a top 10 finish. Ones to watch in 2009... |

| The Johnnie Stalker 2009 Voodoo Blend |
| Years in DDP: 5 Best position: 105th (2005) |
| Mr Stalker's picks consist entirely of celebrities he has met or seen in person. As far as we know, he does not have any contagious diseases and is relying on pure coincidence. So far the only evidence of such coincidence is the fact that his solitary hits in 2005 (when he was called John Stalker) and 2006 (when he was called John Stalkerest) both happened on Christmas Day. This phenomenon would earn a "party pooper" bonus under the new scoring system, so roll on 25 December! |

| Time Is NOT On Our Side! |
| Years in DDP: 6 Best position: 10th= (2004) |
| A top 10 finish at their first attempt in 2004 was always going to be hard to follow, and mid-table obscurity beckoned in 2005, 2006 & 2007. Had a decent 2008, though, finishing in the top 50 in a very competitive competition. |
