So the show is over and we have our final results! Shockingly, 17 major characters in the pool survived this season, which is more than many of us expected. 16 of the characters in the pool died, giving us a nice split between dead and alive which will make the final results very interesting.
NOTE: I completely removed Meera Reed and Hot Pie from the tally as they literally had absolutely 0 involvement in this season, so no points will be awarded for them. Even if they were included the final results would not be affected. Thankfully, we got confirmation that random people like Yara and Robin are alive and well during the council meeting scene so they are still included. And, as I said last week, Ellaria is certainly dead based on King's Landing getting BTFO points are awarded for her as well even though she had no involvement in this season. Admittedly, I shouldn't have included Ellaria, Meera, and Hot Pie in the first place and should have had Qyburn and Ed Tollett instead but oh well!
I also had a little bit of difficulty trying to decide what iron throne predictions should count for the 5 point bonus. The problem here is that the iron throne is literally destroyed so technically no one is "sitting" on it, but I hope everyone understands that I was trying to get at who would be ruling Westeros by the end of the season. Therefore, those who said Bran Stark will get the 5 point bonus. Additionally, I am giving the 5 points to three people who said: the 7 kingdoms split up, there is no longer one throne, or the throne is destroyed. Technically, all of those are correct finale predictions as well. Those who said Sansa get a pat on the back.
Ultimately it seems like the more shocking outcomes of this season were the people who stayed alive rather than those who died. eXpEcTaTionS suBVerTed
With the two deleted characters, there are 33 characters left and 5 possible bonus points for a maximum possible of 38 points. Up until now, points were only awarded for deaths, but now points will be awarded for those who have survived the season as well. LETS GET TO THE RESULTS!

1. princevans - 23 + 5 = 28
1. eoin - 23 + 5 = 28
We have two winners! With 23 out of 33 character fates correctly picked and both of them correctly picking the status of the iron throne in the finale (vans said that the 7 kingdoms would split up and eoin said there is no longer one throne), they tie at an impressive 28 points each. Congratulations! Both of you will get a gift. I will let you know when my broke ass has enough $T to gift you both.
