There's a sect of fans who believe that it will indeed be Sansa (+400) who ultimately claims the Iron Throne. This theory is plausible as it.
Based on a rigidly scientific algorithm weighing my total guesses against dumb fan theories I read online, For The Win is power-ranking the contenders for the coveted Iron Throne in HBO’s Game of Thrones every week leading up to the series finale on May 19.
This post is only spoilers. This is your SPOILER ALERT.
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILERS AHEAD!
As per tradition, here is the photo of Bruce Bochy on the Iron Throne that I use to give people space to click away if they somehow thought there wouldn’t be spoilers:
1. Danaerys Targaryen
So that whole Night King concern ended pretty abruptly. Now there are only two dragons, and Danaerys controls both of them. Sure, her army has been decimated, but how is the Golden Company going to step to dragons? The only thing acting against Daenerys at this point is that Game of Thrones is rarely so predictable as to allow the obvious favorite to dominate a war and take power.
2. Jon Snow
For surviving the Battle of Winterfell and furthering his expertise in dragon-riding, Jon bumps up a spot. We’ve yet to determine exactly how the new knowledge of his Targaryen lineage will affect his relationship with Daenerys, seeing as he’s got a stronger claim to the Throne than she does. He clearly doesn’t want it as much as his aunt-girlfriend, though, and she’s not exactly a person you want to cross.
3. Sansa Stark
If I were willing to put actual money on such things, I might bet on Sansa at this point. It just fits so well with how the show is. Sansa started out naive and enthralled by the trappings of power, then learned the true and horrific effects of power, and came out hardened and conniving. Sansa doing something evil — maybe to Jon? — to take the Throne in the end would be exactly the type of “bittersweet” ending we’ve been promised. We know Sansa! We like her, we understand how she became the way she is, and we’d totally get why she might be so distrustful of someone like Daenerys as to conspire against her. Papa pear level 696.
4. Arya Stark
Killed the Night King! That’s a big freaking deal. At the very least, Arya drinks free everywhere in Westeros for the rest of her life.
5. Cersei Lannister
Still the incumbent, which probably works against her. No one goes undefeated in the Game of Thrones.
6. Gendry
His girlfriend killed the Night King!
7. Tyrion Lannister
I really thought Tyrion was going to die in the last episode, especially after the Night King predictably raised the dead from the Winterfell crypts. But Tyrion powers forward, and he jumps back above his brother this week because he made it out of a battle he seemed less likely to survive.
8. Jaime Lannister
Since “electability” isn’t really a concern here, I don’t see how Jaime winds up on the Throne unless he has been secretly planning something with Cersei all along — which, while always possible, would seem like a lame twist since we saw them fight before he left for Winterfell. But that’d at least put a neat wrapper on the series, which saw Jaime push Bran out the window in its first episode while saying, “the things I do for love.” Maybe it ends with Jaime sitting down on the Iron Throne after turning on Danaerys and brutally massacring the remaining Starks, with Cersei by his side, saying, “the things I do for love,” then winking at the camera as the whole cast goes into a Bollywood-scale Game of Thrones musical number. That’d probably be too neat an ending.
9. Bran Stark
What does Bran want with the Iron Throne? What is his claim to it? There are a lot of people still convinced this weirdo winds up the key to the entire series, but it seems like the final few episodes may be shifting away from Three-Eyed Raveny magic stuff to plain, old-fashioned, Machiavellian political gore.
10. Brienne of Tarth
The highest ranking candidate without Stark, Baratheon, Lannister or Targaryen bloodlines, Brienne remains high on the list for a) surviving the big zombie battle and b) being by far the most noble character in the series.
11. No one
No candidate still on this list had a worse week than “no one,” since now that the Night King is dead it seems way less likely someone destroys the Iron Throne entirely. Maybe it gets melted by dragonfire, though. Still, someone would probably wind up on the proverbial Iron Throne if not the literal one, and maybe they’d put Gendry to work making a new one, preferably with cupholders this time.
12. Bronn
Bronn’s status has been steadily climbing with every sell-sword gig he performs for the Lannisters, and now he’s looking at perhaps his most lucrative offer to date: Riding north to kill Tyrion and Jaime. If he pulls it off, there’s no saying how much Cersei will give him in lands and titles. If he flips and joins up with the Lannister men on Team Dany, he probably secures lands and titles in the new Targaryen reign. Just spitballing here, maybe Daenerys is too freaked out by the whole nephew thing, dumps Jon Snow and figures, “hey, this handsome swashbuckling guy with a beautiful singing voice seems like marriage material,” and Bronn winds up a full-blown royal. I doubt it, but Bronn does seem like the type of guy who’d be OK with living a life of luxury and letting his wife handle the business. That wouldn’t put him on the Iron Throne, though.

13. Euron Greyjoy
I thought Euron Greyjoy had a shot at this thing, but since we haven’t seen him since the first episode of Season 8, it feels like it’s not going to be Euron Greyjoy. That’s too bad, as it’d be a pretty hilarious outcome: This total slimeball guy you’ve barely heard of winds up the winner of the whole Game of Thrones.
14. The field
It seems increasingly unlikely that some relative rando will wind up on the Iron Throne, but this accounts for the chance one of the relatively major characters — Davos Seaworth, the Hound, Missandei, Samwell Tarly, a not-dead Littlefinger, etc. — triumphs over the odds and finishes the series ruling by default because everyone else gets killed. Rooting for Podrick.
15. Tormund Giantsbane
Tormund belongs with the rest of the field, but I’m giving him a specific shoutout because it seemed like he survived in spite of Bob Costas’ prediction.
16. Hot Pie
Last we know, Hot Pie is making hot pies at the Inn at the Crossroads, which is on the Kingsroad, which is the main road you need to get everywhere in Westeros. Now that the threat from the north is vanquished, it seems inevitable Daenerys’ forces will head south to take on Cersei and the Golden Company. Probably someone’s going to want to stop at the ol’ inn for some hot pie on the way, so we should find out what’s going on with Hot Pie.
Bran Stark may not want to be anything more than the Three-Eyed Raven, but Vegas now predicts he’s going to be the leader of Westeros in a major shift in betting odds on who will sit on the Iron Throne when “Game of Thrones” comes to an end.Bran (played by Isaac Hempstead Wright) started Season 8 as a 3/2 favorite to claim the Seven Kingdoms, with his odds slowly getting longer over the last four episodes of the six-episode final season, rising to 8/1 before last Sunday’s episode, “The Last of the Starks.”. Also Read:Robert Cooper, the head oddsmaker for SportsBetting, says the major shift is perhaps due to the leaks that have plagued the show’s final batch of episodes on a weekly basis.“It seems like this season has had more leaks than ever before, which is really unfortunate for the fans, and us,” Cooper said. “We’ve seen an influx of wagers on particular ‘Thrones’ odds before, and they’ve lost, but others have been spot on.”Two episodes remain in “Game of Thrones” eighth and final season.Here are the current odds for who will rule Westeros come series end on May 19:Bran Stark 1/1Sansa Stark 3/1Jon Snow 7/2Daenerys Targaryen 5/1Tyrion Lannister 5/1Gendry 9/1Cersei Lannister 14/1Arya Stark 20/1Jon Snow & Daenerys’ Baby 20/1Jaime & Cersei’s Baby 33/1Samwell Tarly 33/1Varys 33/1Euron Greyjoy 40/1Jamie Lannister 50/1Davos 80/1.
