Stannis's gay brother's wife and lover.  Those people.

Bumboy and Beard.

It is probably mainly because of Natalie Dormer, but it just occurred to me that GRRM may be channeling Boleyns with Tyrells.

Of course, he is also channeling Boleyns with Lannisters. :P

I'd say the Woodvilles are a closer bet for the Lannisters.

Incidentally, Sheilbh has been displaying this tendency consistently so it is more of a running joke between us. How about you let him respond rather than white-knighting about something you have no idea about.
Feel free to use the PM features if you don't want other people responding to your posts, fag.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I love how Stannis and Danny seem to be tied for the most part of this poll, and they outrank everybody else by a mile.
most people figure that, if they haven't died and been reborn up to now, they are likely to survive to whole ordeal 'til the very end.

All this redaction! Are we talking about Wikileaks? :)

Well, it is necessary because of [spoiler]Never gonna give you up, [/spoiler] and [spoiler]Never gonna let you down [/spoiler], and if we didn't [spoiler]Never gonna run around and desert you[/spoiler] then [spoiler]Never gonna make you cry, [/spoiler]. So [spoiler]Never gonna say goodbye [/spoiler] and if that isn't possible then [spoiler]Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you [/spoiler]. If you got this far then the only decent thing for you to do is [spoiler]admit that you've just been rick-rolled.[/spoiler]. I do know that this relevant as of 2009 but, hey, shit happens.

I think you mean like '07/'08 but thanks for keeping a child-like sense of wonder alive. :P

I was guessing. But then again, thanks for admitting that [spoiler]you were Rick Rolled[/spoiler]

Joffrey is a nasty little shit, but his arc suggests a destiny of being dominated by the Tyrells, and there are a lot worse options out there than a Tyrell-dominated imperium.
The Lannisters have done a piss-poor job of reining Joffrey in. Hard to believe the Tyrells would be more successful.

"The Lannisters" in this case is Cersei, who never even tried to rein him in. If Tywin or Jaime were there to keep him on a leash, they would have done much better. Tyrion had some success but he couldn't do it by himself.
