"  Barbara Walters broadcasts a special series of profiles and interviews with the folks she&amp;#039;s deemed the year&amp;#039;s most interesting every December, and the 2013 batch is coming up on December 18. As is tradition, most of the names on her list have been revealed early: Internet catnip Jennifer Lawrence features alongside royal baby George, Pope Francis, broadcast journalist Robin Roberts, and the more-controversial Miley Cyrus. Endurance swimmer Diana Nyad and NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden also made the cut, while the cast of Duck Dynasty lands a spot en masse. Then there&amp;#039;s Kimye, but of course. However, the list omits the tenth and final most fascinating-est person \u2014 Babs&amp;#039; #1 for the year. This leads to lots of exciting speculation over who&amp;#039;s in line for the title. Finding somebody, anybody, more fascinating than Miley has proved to be this year is a tall order, but this is Barbara&amp;#039;s final year helming the program before her retirement, so she&amp;#039;s got to have someone really special lined up. She&amp;#039;ll go out with a bang. My best guess, and dare I say the only fair candidate for the top spot this year, just has to be Barbara herself. (Aren&amp;#039;t we all ready to hear Barbara interview herself?) Please let that be the case. OK, it might also be Wendy Davis. Follow Alex on Twitter.
