Didn’t the wall blow up with him on it? I think he’s as assumed dead as The Hound was.
Tormund is in the trailer for Season 8, so I don't think we can count that one. Feel free to pick again!
I haven’t seen the trailer! Spoiler that shit, asshole!

S_T why are you giving people so many second chances?
Once a choice has been made it’s been made.

Do we really need to spoiler tag something from a trailer?

Ok, just checking.
I'm so glad there are no leaks for this season.

Simple Torture's Game of Thrones Predictions
1. When the credits roll after SE08EP06, the recognized ruler of the Seven Kingdoms will be: Jon+Dany's child (10 pts)
2. When the credits roll after SE08EP06, the following three characters will still be alive: Baby Sam, Sansa, Arya (3 pts each)
3. When the credits roll after SE08EP06, the following three characters (who are alive at the start of Season 8) will be dead: Brienne, Cersei, Davos (3 pts each)
4. When the credits roll after SE08EP06, how many dragons will still be alive? (Note: for the purposes of this question, wight-dragons count as alive): 1 (5 points)
5. Will the following minor or missing-for-a-while characters appear on-screen at any point during Season 8? (1 pt each): Hot Pie (no); Quaithe (no); Daario Naharis (yes); Illyrio Mopatis (yes); Jaqen H'ghar (yes); Salladhor Saan (no)
6. Which assumed-dead character will return on-screen (in the present timeline) in Season 8? (note: returning as a wight counts) Hodor (10 pts)
7. Will any named character be raised from the dead (either through praying to the Red God, being raised as a wight, or some other method) during Season 8? yes, Brienne (5 pts) (BONUS: +10 points if you predict "yes" and correctly guess the character)
8. Will any White Walkers speak during Season 8? yes (3 pts)
9. Will there be a Trial By Combat in the final season? no (3 pts)
10. Will the Night's Watch exist at the end of the series? no (3 pts)
Bold Predictions: The great war between the living and the dead ends not with a resounding victory for either side, but with a stalemate and a new pact. The White Walkers agree to return to the Land of Always Winter in return for Baby Sam, whom they believe belongs to them. Jon arranges the handoff, which brings him great shame and drives him into a self-imposed exile. Dany dies in childbirth and their child (daughter, probably) is the recognized ruler of the 7 Kingdoms, Tyrion rules as regent until she comes of age. Leaves the door open for a sequel series set 1000 years in the future where the Walkers decide, "Eh, fuck it, we're coming South again." It's Gilly, not Sam (who dies), who writes A Song of Ice and Fire, but when it's submitted to the Citadel it has his name on it because they wouldn't have accepted a history written by a woman.

I am, of course, joking. I should have anticipated that these Neanderthals would try to twist the questions.

I feel like there has to be a tough choice towards the end of the series that will allows the heroes to "win" (i.e., come to power and try to usher in an era of peace and prosperity) but will cast a pall over their reign. Something akin to Azor Ahai / Nissa Nissa. Handing a child over to the ice zombies in exchange for peace fits the bill.

3. When the credits roll after SE08EP06, the following three characters (who are alive at the start of Season 8) will be dead: Jorah, Cersei, Jon Snow (3 pts each)
4. When the credits roll after SE08EP06, how many dragons will still be alive? (Note: for the purposes of this question, wight-dragons count as alive): 0 (5 points)
5. Will the following minor or missing-for-a-while characters appear on-screen at any point during Season 8? (1 pt each): Hot Pie (no); Quaithe (no); Daario Naharis (yes); Illyrio Mopatis (yes); Jaqen H'ghar (yes); Salladhor Saan (yes)
6. Which assumed-dead character will return on-screen (in the present timeline) in Season 8? (note: returning as a wight counts) Syrio(10 pts)
7. Will any named character be raised from the dead (either through praying to the Red God, being raised as a wight, or some other method) during Season 8? yes, Lyanna Stark(5 pts) (BONUS: +10 points if you predict "yes" and correctly guess the character)
8. Will any White Walkers speak during Season 8? no(3 pts)
9. Will there be a Trial By Combat in the final season? no (3 pts)
10. Will the Night's Watch exist at the end of the series? no(3 pts)
Bold Predictions:Dany kills Jon. Arya kills Cersei. The White Walker threat will be over before the final episode. The "final" conflict will between Cersei's side and Jon/Dany's side. The vast majority of fans will be utterly disappointed with how Bran's story plays out, specifically, in that it will feel pointless, consequential, and open-ended in an unsatisfactory way. *To save Westeros and assuage the White Walkers and drive them back, Dany will sacrifice herself and her child by agreeing to become the Night Queen, thereby brokering peace between Westeros and the White Walkers for another thousand years.
*added on 4/12. will be my last "bold prediction."
Those are a few. I'll add more as I think of them.

This makes perfect sense and I love the previously quoted Bold Prediction you posted. I'd be super excited if something like that played out.
