Halloween 2000
What's Jeff?
This year, I dressed as People Magazine Celebrity Survivor.
The concept was simple, the execution perfect.
I started with the May 2000 issue of People:
by that one twisted metric, the 50 most beautiful People.
I then empowered a panel of one to select
8 lucky men and 8 lucky women
to be affixed to my body.
Once the party commenced,
at ten minute intervals,
the person standing closest to me
voted off a celebrity.
At party's end, one remained...
| The Men | The Women |
| 1. Ben Affleck | 1. Neve Campbell |
| 2. George Clooney | 2. Kate Dillon |
| 3. Tom Cruise | 3. Heather Graham |
| 4. Robb Lowe | 4. Ashley Judd |
| 5. Ricky Martin | 5. Julia Roberts |
| 6. Dylan McDermott | 6. Brooke Shields |
| 7. Blair Underwood | 7. Charlize Theron |
| 8. Denzel Washington | 8. Catherine Zeta-Jones |
| The Progression... | |
| 16. George Clooney | |
| 15. Blair Underwood | |
| 14. Kate Dillon | |
| 13. Dylan McDermott | |
| 12. Robb Lowe | |
| 11. Ricky Martin | |
| 10. Tom Cruise | |
| 9. Charlize Theron | |
| 8. Julia Roberts | |
| 7. Brooke Shields | |
| 6. Heather Graham | |
| 5. Neve Campbell | |
| Final Four... | |
| 4. Catherine Zeta-Jones | |
| 3. Ben Affleck | |
| 2. Denzel Washington | |
| And the winner... | |
| 1. Ashley Judd | |
By the way, the correct answer was Theron,
but Judd will suffice.
