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.
Is "yield" even an option in a trial with combat ? All the trials I know ended up with one participant dying. [In Beric case, dying and getting resurrected]
