Guess Kisenosato's Aite

[Jejima]

Day 3 = Harumafuji

[Kofuji]

I'll stick with my default Day 3 pick, Harumafuji.

[shimodahito]

day 3 - kaio

[kuroimori]

day 3 - harumafuji, please.

[Andonishiki]

Day 3 - Harumafuji

[Kotoviki]

I'm also going with Harumafuji for day 3 please!

[XiaoTan]

I'll take harumafuji as well on day 3.

[Maguroyama]

Well, after giving you all a much-needed head start, I will now start making more logical picks.

Day 3 - HARUMAFUJI

[Oshirokita]

Aaargh, I missed Day 1&2 again!

Let me join the bandwagon:

Day 3 Harumafuji

[Asashosakari]

It's getting late, and I can't come up with anything more sensible than the bandwagon pick for Day 3, so Harumafuji for me, too.

[Yaochoyama]

Day 3 - Kotooshu

[Hidariashiyama]

Day 3 - Harumafuji

[Jejima]

On Day 3, Kisenosato will face Harumafuji. I was quite surprised at the little bandwagon that went with this, as I thought that any of the remaining Ozekis could have been a valid option.... If you are one of the undefeated, you are (obviously) a co-leader, and so are invited to make an early pick for day 4.

Yaochoyama (Y1E 1-2) Y1

O1 Profomisakari (O1W 2-1)

Jakusotsu (S1E 3-0) S1 Gernobono (S1W 2-1)

Maguroyama (S2E 1-2) S2 Jejima (S2W 2-1)

Kotoviki (K1E 3-0) K1 Hidariashiyama (K1W 3-0)

Asashosakari (M1E 3-0) M1 Holleshoryu (M1W 1-2)

Kuroimori (M2E 3-0) M2 Chisaiyama (M2W 2-1)

Oshirokita (M3E 1-0-2) M3 XiaoTan (M3W 2-1)

Kofuji (M4E 3-0) M4 Kameumi (M4W 2-1)

Andonishiki (M5E 3-0) M5

Mae-zumo

Shimodahito (mz 1-2)

Kisenosato's aites: 1. O1W Baruto, 2. Y1E Hakuho, 3. O2E Harumafuji

Day 4 - well so far the torikumi makers are giving Kise an identical programme to the M1E last basho - but surely that is to lure us into a false sense of security? Therefore, I predict a break in the pattern, and so will opt for Kaio! (In a state of confusion...)

[Kofuji]

Jejima ... you've been cribbing ... the default is Kaio for Day 4 ...

[Kameumi]

Day 4 - Kotooshu

[Yaochoyama]

And to think there could have been a packed house and half the nation enjoying the Hakuho-Kise nakabi bout. Hopefully the half million viewers enjoyed it (I know I did) as well as the 91 folks in the stand. No one can ever accuse the torikumi makers of being marketing geniuses.

[Jakusotsu]

Day 4 - Kotooshu

[kuroimori]

With Hak's streak broken, all the focus will be on the local oyajizeki.

Day 4 is KAIIIIIOOOOOOOOO-time.

And the old man will beat Kise, methinks.

[XiaoTan]

Well, I think I'll go back to my day 2 prediction: Kaio for day 4.

[Gernobono]

day 4 kotooshu

[Asashosakari]

When bandwagons collide! I'll go with Kotooshu for Day 4.

Day 4 - well so far the torikumi makers are giving Kise an identical programme to the M1E last basho - but surely that is to lure us into a false sense of security? Therefore, I predict a break in the pattern, and so will opt for Kaio! :-)

Hmm...

2010.09.04: M1e Tokitenku - O2w Kaio

[shimodahito]

day 4...kaio please

[Kotoviki]

I'd like to go with Kaio for day 4 too please..

and may I say CONGRATULATIONS to Kisenosato!!!!!! :-) (Showing respect...) (Laughing...) :-D (Clapping wildly...) (Clapping wildly...) I was watching in my car and had to pull to the side of the road to be safe because I had a feeling he'd win!! Nice job!!!!! I wanted Baruto to break that losing streak but Kise did fine!!!

[Profomisakari]

Perhaps you are all right with Kaio . . .

But I would have Kotooshu for day 4.
