This is a list of contestants who have been on Grim Reaper, but not on Dancing with the Stars yet. This show is open to those who are 14 or older. Supercentenarians can enter the show. The youngest contestant who has competed is Madison Pettis, who was 14 at the time season 7 aired. She won the competition, defeating Zsa Zsa Gabor and Snooki. The oldest celebrities include Dina Manfredini, Besse Cooper, Misao Okawa, who have competed the show at age 115 (including Maria Capovilla who competed at age 116, living longer than Yoshi aged 116 years 54 days, then Besse Cooper at 116 years 100 days).
Most contestants on the show who have entered are on the Golden Oldies! theme team, which is over 65, while some of them surpassed the age of Old People, Young Death, which is over 95.
The oldest person ever to win a season of Grim Reaper in history ever is in season 5, when season 1's runner-up and oldest man ever recorded Jiroemon Kimura won season 5, the all-stars at age 115. The previous breaking of the oldest winner was season 2's record for the previous oldest winner Olivia de Havilland at age 94. The youngest Grim Reaper winner is Madison Pettis who won at 14, who broke the record of Lindsay Lohan in season 6, tied with Amy Winehouse's record at age 26.
The shortest contestant to have played was Zelda Rubinstein, who stood at 4 ft 3, little bit more than the normal height.

Age is at the time the show started each season, but not the end of the show. Contestants that were on 1996-2005 are added. These people have to be any height, mostly 4 feet 0 inches. The second season of Grim Reaper during the 2006-2009 period is called "Supercentenarians". Because season 2 of 2006-2009 Grim Reaper did not have enough male supercentenarians, they decided to put Kim Jong-Il.
