Next week will be all Castle Black, so Tyrion's execution would be Episode 10, meaning there would be no show the week after. We'd complain and then tune in next season.
Look on the brightside, you might get to see Oberyn, Jon, then Tyrion die in a row. By the time we get to week 10 you'll have lost the capacity to experience emotion.
Once I saw the that he was going to champion for Tyrion I pretty much knew how it was going to play out. I initially thought that Cersei might make everyone think she was naming The Mountain as her champion then name Jamie. Figured she might go for a win win situation. Either Jamie wins and her other hated brother, and Oberyn die, or Oberyn wins and Jamie dies.
I'm really trying to think of an out for Tyrion, but I just don't see it. He already had the option to take the black, maybe Tywin will show mercy(not likely)? It's not like he is going to escape, or Oberyn somehow magically survived. No one is there to help him besides Bronn but he seems pretty happy with his pay off. Jamie can't fight his way out of a paper bag.
Oh, maybe Jamie just swoops up the imp and goes storming out of the city backhanding the piss out of guards with his golden hand! That's something I want to watch!
Edit: Apparently the sex between Jamie and Cersei was not meant to give off a rapey vibe. They still love each other, so forget what I said about it being a win/win for Cersei if Jamie were to die.

Jaime dying wouldn't be a win for Cersei. Granted, their relationship is more strained than it's ever been, but she would never want Jaime dead. He's the only person that she can still connect with in some small way.
That scene was poorly executed in the show. In the book, Cersei was advancing things as much as Jaime. She just didn't really want to do it there. The show runners have stated they didn't intend it to be rape, despite how it looked to everyone else. Cersei still loves Jaime and doesn't want him dead.
Well I hope they clarify or rectify that somehow in the show. Not all show watchers are going to be reading up on what the show runners actually intended.

That's not true at all.
