Guess Kisenosato's Aite (Myogiryu)

[Chisaiyama]

Day 7: Kisenosato

[Asashosakari]

They really oughta fill up Myogiryu's ozeki slate now, so back to Kisenosato for Day 7 for me, too.

[shimodahito]

7.kisenosato

[Jakusotsu]

This is becoming ridiculous.

Day 8 - Kisenosato

[Profomisakari]

Totally new pick: Day 8 Kisenosato

Profomisakari

[Andonishiki]

[XiaoTan]

Oh well Kisenosato, but who nows for day 8

[Holleshoryu]

kisenosato day 8

[Kotoviki]

I'm sticking with Kisenosato because one day it will happen

[Anjoboshi]

It is so hypnotizing, that I have to follow the Kisenosato pick!

[kuroimori]

This is absolutely gaga,

Gagamaru on Nakabi >:-(

[Yaochoyama]

Too paranoid to do anyhting else:

Day 8 - Kisenosato

Of course with 5 ozekis, it would be just like them to schedule an nakabi ozeki matchup featuring Kisenosato just to keep the hilarity rolling.

[Yaochoyama]

[Yaochoyama]

Has any rikishi been picked more often in a single basho then Kisenosato this time (32 and counting)? It's a perfect first basho for the rikishi change so far, fitting the name somehow.

I didn't have the time (or inclination) to get a definitive answer to this, but in a 15-minute scan the most likely candidate I could find was Kaio at the Aki 2010 basho. He received 53 incorrect picks starting on Day 2 before finally becoming aite on Day 14. Kisenosato is up to 41, so there's some chance that he could possible tie Kaio on Day 8 (13 active players, 1 non-Kise pick in so far). If you want to go by average number of incorrect picks per player, there were 17 participants at Aki 2010 and 13 this basho, so Kisenosato definitely has a chance to pass Kaio on that criteria if he can avoid being aite for another day.

[Jejima]

Day 8 - Kisenosato....

[shimodahito]

8-kisenosato

[Asashosakari]

Day 8 Kisenosato, pretty please?

[Andonishiki]

i take bets now for myo vs kise not happening at all this ba-show..

quote is 1,06 at current :-))

day 9: kisenosato

[Jakusotsu]

Might as well rename this game as Guess Who's Not Kisenosato's Aite.

Day 9 - Kisenosato

[XiaoTan]

No point switching horses to someone else who's not going to be selected as well - so Kisenosato (not?) on Day 9

[Holleshoryu]

day 9 gagamaru

[Kotoviki]

Kisenosato again... for day 9 please

[kuroimori]

Back to Kise

on Day 9

or will they they wait one more day...?

[Profomisakari]

A new idea:

Perhaps day 9 Kisenosato?

Profomisakari

[Yaochoyama]

Might as well rename this game as Guess Who's Not Kisenosato's Aite.

Indeed.

Day 9 - Kisenosato
