Recent rumors about upcoming Lost deaths have inspired MSNBC to publish a list of characters likely to bite the dust. Each Lost character was given "death odds," and the list is a mix of interesting and obvious choices. Contributor Ree Hines believes that Charlie (2:1), Anthony Cooper (2:1), Sun (3:1), Mikhail (3:1), and Rousseau (4:1) are the most likely to die this season.

I agree with the top two picks, but I have to believe that more than one Other will be dead by the finale. After making such a show of bringing Mikhail back, it would be shame to lose him again. Mikhail is my favorite new character this season, and is almost my favorite Other. The revelation that Sun could die during pregnancy seems like an element that will carry over into Season Four. It's too soon to kill her off.

(Spoiler Warning for those who have not seen "One of Us") Another quiet week on the Lost island! No deaths this time around, but there are plenty of episodes left. Juliet's claim about the island's effect on mothers could mean that Sun is danger. Another upcoming episode features a guest star that could shake things up in the death pool. Keep reading after the jump for a review of possible death pool scenarios!

For now, the standings have not changed. Chris Wyant, April, and ts are the front runners. Alex, bbf203, BlackViking, darciedyan, Ed W., Gregory Capobianco, Holli, Hubba, jks, Kat, Kenneth Chong, Kristi Parry, Lauren, Michael, PlusDrew, Priscilla, RedStarRevolution, and Tracy are still holding their own. The next few weeks could bring some serious changes to the pool. Read on!
