Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in Game of Thrones Episode 802?

9-22. Wun-Wun-smashing-that-dude-into-the-wall surprised
When you shoot a giant with a crossbow, what do you think is going to happen? We wouldn’t be surprised if any of these people kicked it.
9. Bronn: 40%. So Bronn is going to head north with a crossbow and attempt to kill the Lannister boys? That sounds all kinds of safe.
10. Robyn Arryn: 40%. Robyn Arryn is a wildcard, but a fragile wild card. He’s probably safe in the Vale, but even a stubbed toe might kill this guy.
11. Nymeria: 35%. We’re guessing Nymeria shows up at the Battle of Winterfell at some point. Unfortunately, she doesn’t make it out alive.
12. Yohn Royce: 30%. We didn’t get much in terms of strategy for the upcoming battle, but surely scouts make sense, right? Perhaps mounted scouts from among the ranks of the Knights of the Vale, which Royce leads?
13. Yara Greyjoy: 25%. Yara intends to reclaim the Iron Islands from Euron while he’s away, but will he actually be away? We’ve seen the Iron Fleet move pretty quickly around Westeros.
14. Meera Reed: 25%. We don’t know where Meera is for certain, but if she’s still anywhere near Winterfell, she’s in danger.
15. Qyburn: 20%. Qyburn looks safe for now, especially since Theon made off with Yara. But maybe Bronn takes a potshot with that crossbow before fleeing north? Who knows.
16. Brienne of Tarth: 20%. The Battle of Winterfell appears to kick off properly next episode, but there could be skirmishes ahead of time, and Brienne doesn’t fight from the rear.
17. Podrick Payne: 20%. Ditto for Podrick, who won’t leave Brienne’s side, even if she’s already dead.
18. Jorah Mormont: 15%. Based on the trailer, Jorah looks like he’s gotten ahold of Heartsbane, a Valyrian steel sword, but that’s only gonna count for so much if Jorah leads the vanguard against the Night King.
19. Grey Worm: 15%. We’re pretty sure Grey Worm goes down this season, being the Unsullied commander, but it’s probably not in Episode 2. Probably.
20. Samwell Tarly: 15%. All our instincts say Samwell survives for at least a little while longer, but that shot of him and Gilly snuggling with Baby Sam, gave us a doomed Titanic vibe.
21. Gilly (and Baby Sam). 15%. The same goes for Gilly. Could the Night King be looking for Craster’s last son?
22. Euron Greyjoy: 15%. Things appear to be good between Cersei and Euron. He did bring her the Golden Company, but at some point Euron is going to push Cersei too far.
