I was reading last night about a local guy who came second in a worst holiday photo competition. Apparently, he was taking a shot of a diver before he jumped into the sea. Here is the photo:

This man, who couldn't even win the worst photo competition, has inspired me to run this quiz as a tribute to runners-up and losers, which seems kind of appropriate for a Reverse Sheep Quiz. Below are questions concerning people who didn't win.
The reveal will be Monday 11 August at 7.30pm.
It will make life easier for me if you don't number your answers and don't leave a line in between. Just put each answer on a new line. No penalties, though, if you forget or don't read this bit.
You must pass one question out of 1-10 and will receive a score of zero for that question. Question 11 must be answered.
Your score for each question is the number of people who give the same correct answer. The answer most commonly given is called the sheep. If you give an incorrect answer, you will receive the sheep score +5.
You are not allowed to do research such as using Google to come up with answers, and you are not allowed to ask others for help with your answers.
The Questions:
1. Someone who has lost Heads-Up in a WSOP bracelet event.
2. A political party leader who has led his or her party to defeat in a UK general election.
3. 'Every Loser Wins' was a major hit for EastEnders actor Nick Berry - the song that propelled him to international stardom. Name another TV actor who has released a song.
4. A country that has scored nul points in the Eurovision (for a year, not in a single set of marks).
5. Someone who won a silver or bronze medal in the Olympics.
6. A country that was on the losing team in World War 1 or World War 2.
7. Christianity is the religion with the most members in every State of the US, but the second-largest varies around the country. Name the second-largest religion in any US State. You don't need to name the State (though you may if you want to). For the purpose of this question, subsets of religions are regarded as the same religion - take the fact that I have treated Christianity as a single religion as your example.
8. Someone who lost a famous court case.
9. A movie actor, living or dead, who never won an Oscar.
10. A country which has been beaten in a FIFA Football World Cup Final.
11. And the newly-traditional question 11 - an answer that someone else has given to one of the previous questions.
'Actor' in the above questions may be male or female.
