Every December, the world's collective heart skips a beat as Barbara Walters reveals her Most Fascinating Person of the Year.

This year, her "10 Most Fascinating People" special airs on December 17th, and as usual, she won't reveal #1 until the actual show. But 7 of the 9 slightly lesser fascinating people have been revealed.

They are: Tracy Morgan, Amy Schumer, Bradley Cooper, Ronda Rousey, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, ballerina Misty Copeland, and fashion designer Donna Karan.

Barbara has been monotonously mumbling about who's fascinated her since 1993. Before that, it was completely impossible to know who was fascinating. Seriously, it was rough, just ask your parents.

Obviously, it's pointless to guess what's going on in Barbara's head, but some candidates for the remaining three spots might include: Caitlyn Jenner, Adele, and Donald Trump.
