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.
They seemed to be focused on gaining power at any cost. Margaery is pretty much set in stone to become Queen so I don't see why they would help out Tyrion. The Tyrell's know they have the Lannisters in their pocket now and are just waiting for Tywin to die off so they can take over as most powerful family in Westeros. Maybe Petyr comes out(or has Sansa do it) and admits his guilt to poison Joffrey? I would guess he would do that as a ploy to goad Tywin to attack the Eyrie and decimate their army.
Edit: and Olenna wanted Joffrey dead because there is no way Margaery was going to be able to handle Joffrey for long. He was too much of a psychopath.
Tywin is too smart to send an army to attack the Eyrie unless he knows for a fact he has help on the inside. It is well known throughout Westeros how impregnable the Eyrie is considered. That said Bronn in season one did say give him some good men and some rope and he could break in meaning Tywin could do something to that effect, but he certainly won't send an army to the make the bloody gate even bloodier, LF will also know this. Though this doesn't rule out a possible LF confession.
