Guess Kisenosato's Aite (M3W Shodai) - November 2016

[kuroimori]

D5 - Takarafuji

[Sakura]

What a stressful day. Not time to do a proper search of past bashos for clues so I'm going with

Day 5 - Takarafuji

and then back to Sanyaku on Day 6

[chishafuwaku]

Day 5: Takarafuji

If I knew no one else was going to venture a guess on Nishikigi I would have put my guess there.  Takarafuji may have been more likely, but Nishikigi wasn't that far behind and is too obvious of a guess for the NSK to be getting a kinboshi on.

No early guess since record is going to start mattering earlier than normal.

Day 6 Takarafuji

[Jejima]

Day 6 - I see Jakusotsu has decided to join me on my limb (that I started yesterday), as I am going to double down on Kisenosato for another day.

[Harry]

Checking history (I do it all the time even though it never works out well for me) M3W was kyujo by day 6 in at least three bashos in recent memory... hopefully not a pattern. Has the participant in guess the aite ever gone kyujo in a basho before? If so, did we switch to a backup? I don't remember it happening when we always played an ozeki.

In case Shodai doesn't slip and hurt himself in the ofuro tonight I will choose:

Day 6: Takarafuji

If Shodai  goes kyujo, we will switch to M3E Endo.  Yes, we've had a kyujo before in the past.
