Succession Final Predictions: Who Will Become CEO Of Waystar Royco?

Hello everyone and welcome to the film reception program. My name is Fariba and today I'm making a very special video because we're

final

ly getting to the

final

episode of the series, like it's an incredible journey to have followed this show as I know it. I haven't been talking about

succession

on this channel, but I

will

tell you that I've been following the show for quite some time, like I started watching it right before the second season premiered, just because there was word of mouth. and it really caught my attention a little bit and I was very mindful of the fact that the show is like a modern business version of Game of Thrones like that really caught my attention and so, um of course, I've been following it for a lot of time.

I was there watching the end of the second season. I was there watching the end of the third season and now here I am about to move on to the final episode. Who would have thought we were about to? To get to the final episode, I'm pretty sure that, as I call it, none of us really knew that season four was going to be the last season until, I think, a month before season four premiered. Hmm, it was a big shock to all of us, but we also knew that it meant that we would probably get the answer to the most important question and that is who

will

take over as CEO of Waystar Royco.

That has been the most important question. from the first episode from the pilot episode and now we're finally getting to the culmination of the show and that's answering this big question and of course season four has been quite a journey, I mean a lot of us are still looking forward. Back to Connor's wedding and the impact of Logan Roy's death, I mean, a lot of us didn't expect that to happen, but at the same time it was an event that, of course, was necessary because that meant that they were finally getting down to business. to the work.

The end game of this show and that's again the big question of who's going to take over as CEO and you know, having watched everyone properly, we've been seeing how every person on this show has been very calculated with their right moves. We've seen all the brothers have their own personal gain trying to roll the dice, trying to somehow be in the same league as Logan and I mean, we've seen some of them, you know? ways, but in other cases they really had too many shortcomings and now that, as you know, I've seen all of these episodes, I feel like we've finally reached a point where it's time to come down to the final ranking of who has the best. opportunity to

become

star Roy Coke's next CEO because I mean now it's going to be the big deal to get to the end of the series and of course like there's no one who can really reach Logan Roy's level, you know? legacy I mean, on the one hand, he's still a very horrible person and I mean a lot of people feel conflicted about him, but you also have to respect him at least as a businessman who really knew how to play craps, he really I knew how to play. the chess board like he knew what he was moving to do and I mean, that's something you have to respect him for because he knew what to do in terms of being a businessman, which meant having to make a lot of sacrifices, especially within of his own family and now here it's like who's going to be able to replicate Logan's legacy, who's going to be Abe, who's going to be the best person to take over and

become

the next Logan Roy, right, and yeah, I mean, I think I've thought very carefully about you.

I know who has the best chances. I think I've finally come down to who I think has the best chance of taking over as CEO, so in this video I'm going to jump right into my ranking of who has the best chance of moving from lowest to best chance and explain my reasons, so yeah, without further ado, let's jump right into my ranking of who is most likely to become the CEO of Waystar Roy Code, so starting my ranking from the beginning. At the end I'm putting Conor Roy. I think at this point I don't think he really has a great chance of becoming CEO Waste or Royco.

I think the way we've seen his progression on the show has been pretty evident. that he is simply not the type of person or at least the most suitable person to take on the role of CEO of White Star Royco. I mean, yeah, for starters, he's Logan Roy's oldest son, I mean, that makes a lot of sense, but at the same time, he definitely doesn't have any of the experiences that all the other Roy brothers have, right? I mean, he's actually not that involved with his father's business, um, he's been ignored, he's been neglected as the brother's son on this show.

Everyone keeps forgetting that Conor exists, as we saw at Conor's wedding, where everyone was trying to say their last goodbye and then suddenly everyone forgot that Conor had his wedding, as well as the fact that he is the eldest son and that you know not. I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Logan when he basically passed away, so yeah, he's definitely been the one who, you know, has been pretty much ignored throughout this whole show, but only because again, because of the fact that he's pretty different from everyone. others. around him because he's the only son of, you know, Logan's first wife, um and yeah, I mean, if anything, he's been more of a father figure to the Roy brothers than his own father to them, but still has not been who you almost anything he.

He likes to think highly of himself thinking that he is so good at everything, but in reality he is not. I think it's pretty evident having seen the whole election situation where he thought he had such a good chance of winning Kentucky and he didn't. I think that's not the case because of how much pride he takes in things and again because of the lack of business experience he has as Roy's brother, like it's not something a lot of people would take seriously. I think we've seen it. That's a lot of him just not being the most serious contender to become the CEO position.

I don't even think he's interested in it, although he's mentioned it a couple of times like, okay, why can't you know why? I know you know I'm a contender to become one, but I think at this point I don't think anyone would really want him in that position, whether it's like the backboard or Matson, I think for Connor, he's more geared toward, well. How would it benefit himself and what can he do to use that to his advantage? I think that will become a big problem for anyone involved who knows that they want to make a decision about who they can appoint as CEO and I think that just With that right, like the lack of experience, the fact is that they successfully accepted their own achievements and you know it's pretty vanity and it's like okay, there's really no way Conor can become CEO unless something spectacular happens.

Um, so I think even at this point I don't think Connor is really in the running for the CEO position unless something really big happens, but even with that being the case, I think he probably has the slimmest chance of getting the job. I mean anything could still happen and turn into a big surprise for sure and that's very possible. I just don't think because you know he's not too invested in he only cares about wealth, he only cares about money, um, no. He doesn't necessarily want to work hard, he just wants to get back to living a more luxurious lifestyle without having to work hard and I don't think that's going to work if you're going to become CEO of star Roy.

Co, when you have to make all these decisions, like not even Matson would put someone like Connor, even if you want someone who can be his, you know, boy, toy, so um and I don't think, I don't even think Conor he's a people pleaser, he wants something for himself, so yeah, I think even then there's no way anyone around him would consider him a contender, so it's like he's at the bottom. Makes a lot of sense, but yes, he will be right at the bottom of my rankings because of the potential to get the position next.

I actually put Roman Roy pretty low and I have a lot of reasons for that, as I know Roman is like that. when we look at Roman, he's definitely been someone who's been playing the cards pretty big, he's been so involved with the company that he's been at his dad's side for quite a while, especially after the whole Kendall situation, like he's been , you know someone like Logan. he's been in touch even during the whole fiasco that happened in season three, he still kept in touch with Logan, so yeah, I mean, I think there's a chance that you'll know even after because let's be honest right after the but .

After Logan Roy's unexpected death, the next episode there was some sort of controversy that he did look and erase Kendall's name or underline Kendall's name correctly as if they weren't still up for debate and if of course he was crossing over. Bring it out and try to include someone else, of course, like if there was anyone you know Logan could trust, it would probably be Roman just because he's always been on Logan's side, even defying his own brothers when there was that dispute, um, after the third season. So yeah, even with that being the case, even though he has a little bit more of that experience, he's someone who's been very involved with Logan's business and you know he's got some pretty good accomplishments.

He's done some good things throughout like whether you know on the one hand the Gojo deal so that's going to be a big thing and then the mink and stuff like yeah he has the ability to really make people come to him. his side or you know, having this influence. so you know what they want from you, you know the outcome of things well, even with that being the case, I feel like with Roman I think his chances have really diminished in a lot of ways, on the one hand I think he's a very reckless character. like the one we saw a couple episodes ago where he fired not only a studio producer, but he also fired Jerry from boycotting the stars just for the fact that you know he didn't like them and even for the fact that you know. he wanted to get that sense of respect and he won't get that respect at that moment, there will be consequences.

I think making that decision was a pretty poor move because it just shows that he's not a very serious CEO. I think this is where the biggest problem will come in the end is that he's not a very serious person, um, yeah, he's got a lot of things that you know that go in his favor again, experience and all that and the fact that he's currently the co. -CEO of waste about a cook and helping him, um, even then, like he's not someone who, you know, is very serious, as we saw in the season, I think it was the third season he was sitting in, already you know, you know the dick pic. true, and Logan himself was embarrassed by what he just saw since he considers Roman a joke and if Logan considers him a joke then that's not a good sign for someone to become the CEO and I think the last episode on Logan's The Funeral may have solidified his chances of basically ruining his chances of becoming the future CEO because on the one hand, he's someone who tries to show off as someone who is very confident, who knows, who knows everything, who has this ambition, who.

He's not afraid to do a lot of risky things, that's totally fine, but at the same time we can sense this weakness in Roman, which is that he's someone again that you can't take seriously, and I mean, that could be a problem, of course. With Matson, I don't think Matson is going to consider Roman as a potential contender to become his US CEO, but even if he did consider someone else, Roman isn't really watching his back, he's just thinking he's safe. . someone just because he was so connected to Logan that it makes him a clear CEO, which technically isn't the case, just because your dad said that doesn't mean you know that you're the clear person that you know and that becomes at the CEO and unless Roman has been showing up to prove that he can become the next Logan, uh, I feel like he hasn't really shown it, I think after Logan's funeral, he has really shown his weakness, like even Mankin is now. he doesn't consider him a serious person anymore, he doesn't want anyone he associates with just because again, Megan as a Nazi, of course, and it's probably someone who's like Boys Don't Cry, something like that, you know, ideology and, to see, you know.

Roman breaks down over his father's death like that's probably where he questions his manhood, I guess, so not only does he not have Manson's support, but now he's lost, you know, Menkin's respect as someone he doesn't can talk, as we saw the way it was. Even talking to him right after the funeral like I was just calling him a crybaby, right, so yeah, I think at this point, unless he can really redeem himself in a big way in the series finale, I think his chances reallyhave decreased quite a bit. a little bit, I think because of that, he ranks as probably one of the lowest among you, you know the rule, you know the main Roy brothers in a really fast position, but at least above Conor because, once Plus, he has a little more experience than Conor, but still, I don't think he's someone that many people would take seriously and I think that makes him one of the least likely. the staff least likely to actually take that position, so above Roman I put Tom.

I know this is going to be a really controversial decision and I mean there's a reason I put Tom in there um and just because I feel like there's someone. who could be the weakest in all of this and it could be Tom. I know a lot of people are very conflicted about Tom because some people consider him the villain and others sympathize with him because of how he's been treated, but not done. you just know any of the Roys, but particularly shiv. I'm going to say this. I think there's a reason I put Tom above Roman and it's because I think having seen the last few episodes, he's really proven himself to be a people pleaser for a thing like he's someone who wants to make sure that know that if he wants to hold his own, he needs to make sure he gets on everyone's good side, you know, right, basically, he kisses and he's done a great job of doing it.

That's what I mean, for starters he managed to gain Logan's trust after season three like he betrayed his own wife to get on Logan's good side because he knew that Logan was basically his protector as long as Logan did. care for. he has a good chance of moving up in the business and of course that means becoming one of the top bosses at ATN now of course as always since you know Logan passed away you know that's an advantage he's the only person who can vouch for him. Now he's gone, he's got no one else to protect him, he's got enemies everywhere, I mean, he made an enemy of Shiv, he made an enemy of, you know, I mean an enemy of Matson, but Matson's not having a good time. impression on Tom like the one he has.

He hasn't gotten you to know Matson's confidence and I think that after having seen the last episode, it is more likely that Matson doesn't consider him as someone who can use him as a puppet, but still, I think that after having seen the last episode in the one who was so tired he wanted to sleep I felt good, well maybe there's more of that reset, where things can work in your favor and I think one of the things that I think is really worth considering is your relationship with the ship now, of course, at the beginning of the fourth season, things started very badly between them also due to the fact that of course Tom had betrayed Shiv, but I think at the beginning, due to the fact that they weren't fighting , it seemed so If their whole marriage was basically over, it was basically doomed to fail, but one of the things that really intrigued me was that when we got to the episode leading up to the eve of the election, the fact that they were both fighting gave me that look.

Okay, the fact that they're fighting right means that they're going to get through that, that gives me an indication that their marriage had been rekindled because from what I've always seen, that's how it happens with marriages when couples fight, that simply means that you are more likely to care about each other in some way and that means that your marriage is more likely to survive much longer, whereas if you are not fighting that means you are completely done with that marriage and I felt like their mirrors were completely finished at first, but the fact that they fought in that election eve episode was a reboot of their marriage right there, which gives me the impression that Shiv and Tom could be, uh, it could be the duo working together so they're going to work together a lot more in the series now, I think even with the last episode where a ship is talking to Tom and even though Shiv still has a lot of problems with Tom because you know .

What he said on election night about her pregnancy. I think after the last episode, they may have worked out a lot of things, like they finally understand each other and at this point, since they're both pretty vulnerable right now. of the stage knowing that you know that there are many enemies around him. I wouldn't be surprised if Tom and Shiv decide to work together to try and reclaim the CEO position of Wayside Royco because I feel like they will work better as a team together. I have to work with individual people, so I think so. I would say this like I think this is really where it's really hard to sort out some of the people here because like Tom, he's a wild card heading into the end of the series because it's technically not finished yet and I think after having seeing the trailers and seeing that there's a scene where he just walks up and I think with his butt they're like lawyers, I get the impression that Tom isn't out of the game like you yet.

He might pull some last minute cards, like some last minute surprising cards, and I think that's where I see Tom still having a possible chance now, compared to everyone else, he's not as strong, but I think he won't be the case. that if he has this opportunity to team up with Shiv, I think in the long run he could have a very good result coming out of the whole situation with Waystar, which is why I put him more or less above Roman and of course as one. and like the women who really ruined all his chances.

I think Tom still has a little bit of that glimmer of hope for him just because again, from the whole 18 thing, the election, the fact that he's kind of consulting with, you know, at this point because now, again, since last night since the last episode, it seems like they're finally reconciling, so with that being the case again, I think Tom has regained a lot of hope for him to actually still maintain his wealth, you know, his high position at Waystar and I think that really it might help him and I think even save him in the long run, so again, he's still in the deep end, I feel like maybe he's done it again.

I don't think he has as much of a chance as some of the other characters who are much better, you know, who have a better chance of becoming CEO. I think just from what we've seen so far with some of I think he has a better chance of getting into the other characters and also I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people on Team Tom want him to become CEO just because he's technically a Roy but It doesn't have the name Roy. and I wouldn't be surprised if this is something you know they'll try to pull off, so again we'll see that this will be more of a big surprise reveal, but again we'll have to see how it plays out. in the series finale, so next I put shiv Roy as my next likely chance to basically become the CEO of Wayside.

I think I'll put him as number four at this point just because I think that compared to a lot of other people, there are a lot of factors that can be taken into consideration when considering whether or not you're likely to get the job. I mean, I think there's still a slim chance of her getting it because of the mistakes she makes, for one, when we're looking at Shiv properly. She is someone very bold, she is very stubborn, but at the same time I think the biggest problem she has is that she is very amateur, she doesn't understand the game as well as other people in this whole world. show especially in comparison to Logan, I think this is where again we've seen a little bit of this complexity with, you know, shiv, where it's like you know she's really trying to get her father's approval and yet she she's really someone who really messes up a lot and we've seen it throughout season three with this issue where she thinks she's winning but she's not really.

I think this is where one of her biggest flaws coming into the show is that she's so you. I know she thinks too much of herself and thinks that oh because you know her own personality and abilities she's someone who can easily win a position when that's not really the case, I mean let's be honest about all things . The Roy brothers or at least of the three main Royce brothers, other than Connor, she is someone who has the least amount of experience, like her, she is not someone who is that involved with, you know, a loss of exercise, just started to have a, you know, have. a position in the company last season after having worked through the whole situation with such a successful Schultz situation and you know, dealing with all that, but yeah, I think even with that being the case, even though she got something of season three experience um it doesn't mean you know she has all the experience but she doesn't understand the business side of things she doesn't really have the opportunity to really speak to make a decision in the company you know and um. and not just like that, like she's someone who is again very ambitious right now in season four, of course, we know that she's working alongside Matson to make sure that you know that Gojo can acquire Waystar and you know that she thinks that this is something. that's going to work in her favor because if she's working with Matson, we know she can become the CEO, and she thinks that by helping her she'll get her reward of becoming the next CEO, which I think she may have let him know.

You've thought too much about this. too much um and maybe I didn't think about it very clearly because again, I think this is where we're seeing more of our buff side because she's not really thinking two steps ahead like one of the things with Logan is like he's someone. who tries to make sure that he can identify everyone's every move and if there is going to be any move that goes against it, he is going to somehow vegetate that action by having his own move and his own influence to counteract that right. I think this is something that again Logan has made such a powerful move and made him such a respectable CEO because he knows how to counter all of these actions, whether it's the whole sexual assault situation, the fact that Kendall was on his con or All that kind of stuff, right, um, and I think with Shift she just doesn't have that experience.

I think she doesn't have that gift from her father to really understand that I think this is again what we're seeing. The much more naive side of Shiv who doesn't understand that just because she's excited about Manson doesn't mean Matson won't keep her promise or I don't even think she promised him something like she doesn't have. make any promises right as he just wants to see any move work in his favor and that is making sure that even if he puts someone else in the position, you know as CEO of Waystar, he will still be the one making the major decisions . and of course, like for someone like Shiv, who again is someone very ambitious, someone very stubborn, someone who, you know, wants to do things his way and not be ordered.

I think this is where, like Matt said. Someone like Manson would understand that he's not someone he wants to work with, he doesn't think he would know that someone would be a good fit for him to make sure that he knows his opinions, his decisions that they're going through, um, and yeah, I think. That, getting back to it, as we saw in the penultimate episode, yeah, she's been a really good advisor to Madison, he's been giving her some really great advice, you know, trying to get the fake numbers out of India, the fact that you know everything. situation with her, you know, community, her head of communications, um, yeah, like she was someone who was giving her good advice, but, um, in the end it's not going to work for her, like she was trying to push , you know, promise that, okay, well.

If you do this for me, I'll get this in return, but she's not really exerting influence. We've seen cases where it's just because she comes off as someone very confident that she can come off as scary or she considers herself scary. but it's not really like that, we've seen the case where she tries to outdo someone and she doesn't really do anything like, let's remember election night, right? She's trying to scare Greg so she'll make sure he doesn't do it. Not revealing her secrets doesn't reveal the fact that you know she is working for Matson and what she does in exchange for her silence.

She doesn't give him anything. This is where again we're seeing this very, you know, amateurish situation. where she doesn't have the skills to deal with a lot of these negotiations, he's not a very good negotiator basically and this is where it's going to hurt her a lot, especially the whole huge situation, because if this can happen with Greg, then I can't even imagine how Matson will basically, you know, basically annihilate her in the whole CEO situation, because even though she gives him the idea to make sure to include the American CEO to encourage Mengan to you.

We know we have to let the Gojo deal happen, as we remember that scene where he says yes, as long as we say he agreed to everything, as long as the American CEO is there, you know the acquisition will go through. out, but he didn't say. that he was going to be right and I think having seen his reaction thinking oh he's in a good position.proves once again that she is very naive, she is not thinking very, you know, she is not thinking very strategically, you know, this is not a good sign for her because he did not make her any promises that the CEO will support her, but that can't do it.someone else as CEO and it just won't be her and I think this is where Shiv will get that bad news really bad when we get to the end of Serious when she realizes that you know Matson basically stabbed her in the back well , I don't know.

If you can really tell if she, he would back her up, but you know she's going to feel really stupid, like she's going to have this really stupid moment realizing that you know she helped this guy all this time. I wanted to see that she didn't get anything in return and again, this again shows her uh you know her skills not being able to really do this style of negotiation, like she doesn't have the skill set that Logan has now, having said that, though like I had really reduced it. chances of becoming CEO because of her inability to really be that scary CEO, that scary person that you know no one wants to mess with, right?

She doesn't really have that respect the way a lot of other characters do and she shows it. this power play as if she is someone who is trying to show herself as someone who is capable of doing things but she really isn't and again she shows herself as showing this vanity of herself where she thinks she is, so you know well in the things when in reality it is nothing. That's going to turn into a big flaw for her going into this again and it's basically going to cost her, you know, her chances of becoming CEO.

Having said that, as I said before with Tom, I think she could go either way. between her and Tom, but I think this is where there might be some potential to increase our chances, I mean, if we've seen the end of the series, not only do you know that they reconcile, not only do you know that they can call off their marriage, but I can also see an opportunity due to the fact that you know there is so much success coming from everyone that I wouldn't be surprised if Tom and we should have decided to work together because of what is happening, even though there is a lot going on and there is a lot of drama. there's a lot of hate between them um at the end of the day they'll probably realize that the best chance they have of becoming leaders of you know,

waystar

is to work together and I think having it again after that penultimate episode and seeing how they both They resolve their issues and you know, they understand each other much better this time than before and I feel like at this point their marriage is a little stronger.

What was it like in episode one of season four, where you know their marriage was a disaster. I think that's where we can maybe see her chances improve a little bit, like if she has Tom's backing, then this might help her. becoming CEO now again, it's like a long shot going into this, I think at this point she's going to be a long shot than just becoming a, you know, a really strong contender right now, but that being said, I think she's in the middle at this point because, again, I think Rome's chances have basically been extinguished.

I think the penultimate episode has basically shown that I think her last chance to hit him back has basically been extinguished, as I think. she missed her small chance to really show herself as a strong CEO. I think that helped Shiv in the long run become a much better chance at becoming CEO, but even with that being the case, I think that ship still has a pretty low chance of becoming CEO compared to everyone else out there. they play this game. I actually put Jerry in, so I think she has a third best chance of becoming CEO and I think she has many.

There are a lot of things that go for her than against her because, again, what's really funny is that I think putting her as a contender is a really important thing to talk about. I feel like a lot of people are ignoring that Jerry still has a chance to win. this game and I think again, I think this is where she's going to become the Dark Horse of what's going on all the time as a successor and I think there are a lot of good reasons why Jerry could have a very good chance of becoming the next .

CEO of, on the one hand, she's not, you know, a Roy, she's not done, she's not a Roy, she doesn't have family connections, which makes her a very good, you know, choice for the board of directors or for anyone who really wants to elect someone to become the CEO, um no. just that, but I think the most important thing we have to consider is that she is someone who knows a lot of things, she is very good at her job, she knows the department of justice, she has all the connections, she is someone who is very intelligent, she knows what power games you have to go through.

She's someone who understands the whole business side of things and I think that's what makes her such a good contender in this game and not only that, but let's remember that she already has a little bit of experience as a CEO. I think it was like the second or third season, it was one of those two seasons, but she wasn't an interim CEO because of the whole situation that was going on with the lawsuits and the sexual assault cases and all that. type of thing and I think that makes her a really strong contender because she has no connection to her white family, she is someone who knows her job very well, she has all these connections, she is someone who already knows the position very well and I think that because she makes her a very, you know, favorable choice to become CEO, um, yes, of course, a lot has happened since Logan had wanted to fire her, um, at Conor's wedding, which, of course, Of course, it didn't happen 100% because like if he passed away, she was eventually fired by Roman a couple episodes later and now she's basically unemployed, but she's also taking legal action against the company due to the wrongful termination, so we'll see how it all happens. .

I think the whole situation with her firing will end. plays a big role in the series finale, I think she's still in the running, she's kept a little profile of course since Conor's wedding, but I think that's where we probably don't realize she's still She is in the game, even though she is lying down. low, it doesn't necessarily mean she's out of the game. I think that just makes her a much higher quality contender to come in and become the next CEO. I think even then I wouldn't be surprised if Matson wanted to put her as someone who takes charge because for one day let's remember the situation at the summit in Sweden, or it was normal, I think it was Norway or Sweden, but at one of the summits right where they were everyone getting together between Gojo and the

waystar

people and trying to make a deal with all the waystar people and company, you know, Jerry was one of the few that didn't get fired, they weren't getting her fired, right? , it wasn't going to be As a result, let him go, because again, on the one hand, because he should have recommended her, he knows that he is a very good asset for Madison due to the fact that she has this whole connection and, although she likes the fact that that had this, it was.

She almost got fired, well, she almost got fired once and then she got fired the second time. I think that makes her a much bigger asset because then Madison realizes that you know Jerry could be a very valuable person just based on the fact that she isn't either. team Roy because Roman basically, you know, fired her, so I wouldn't be surprised if Matson even wanted to like her, she may even consider having a possible option to become her American CEO to take over as a youth star because let's also remember that Jerry is nice. kiss in a way like he's someone who wants to make his bosses happy and I wouldn't be surprised if Jerry was someone like you.

You know Matson thinks he can at least influence her in a way that works in her favor. and not only not only that, but again, the fact that she has all that experience makes her a very valuable asset in that case. Now, of course, as you know, I feel like you know that scene where the magic is. You know, talking about relationships and counting. her about, you know, putting in an American CEO to get the backing of men, you know, approving the whole acquisition. I think there's someone talking and that's about the whole situation, who could be her, you know, her choice to become the American CEO and of course.

I feel like it's not Jerry, of course, because I mean, if we look back at that scene, Jerry wasn't anywhere else, but he was still in the hotel room after Logan's funeral, where he's talking to Hugo Frank Gary, all of them okay, so, unless somehow. she was in two places at once. I don't think it's her talking, at least you know, sitting across from Matson when she made that call, so it's probably not Jerry, of course, but even if she wasn't in Madison. radar, I think even then with everything that's going on because I feel like there's still the whole situation with the board of directors that you know the Roys have to deal with um with respect to the whole acquisition, the deal and trying to make it better, if somehow everything you know goes wrong or if you know that many of the board members disagree with my particular choice that is becoming or at least coincides with particular choices to become CEO, then no I would be surprised if there was a compromise. put someone like Jerry there because she, oh, she works for the board and she would also work in parties here because she is someone who is probably the best or at least the most ideal candidate.

Can you tell who gives the advantage to each side? So I think. "She's probably one of the best competitors in the game even though she hasn't really appeared much, but I think that's what makes her such a valuable character. I think what makes her such a good contender because I like it". It'll be pretty surprising and I wouldn't be surprised if we somehow get a big surprise that comes out of nowhere and somehow turns into Jerry, so yeah, I think she's not out of the running. I think she is someone who is just as strong in all of this.

She competes compared to everyone else and I think she actually has a lot more to prove as a potential CEO than anyone else in this. I think she's really shown that, so yeah, I think that's it again. I think she has the third best chance of getting it. position I wouldn't be surprised with all the reasons I mentioned that she could get the job as the waystar

royco

tenure next as the person I put as my number two to become the CEO's visiting star and does anyone think Greg Hirsch and I we feel like a lot of people are very conflicted about this because we're looking at Greg like a lot of people are like the way people compare Greg has the potential like Winer's innocence or the potential that you know of a person to accept him. everything is in some sense comparable. to how Bran, you know, became the king and became the ruler of King's Landing, like it's such an unusual choice and it's also like not many of us would want that, but at the same time it makes me feel like In this case with the

succession

the argument going in Greg's favor is much better than the way we saw with Bran.

I think there are a lot of reasons in this one why Greg could be the person to take over as CEO. I think we have seen many reasons. It's day by day in each episode, where he's now become such a strong contender to become CEO, on the one hand, yes, he's Roy's cousin, so he has that whole family connection, although not necessarily, but he's right. , has been working. with Roy with the you know White Star Warco for quite some time working alongside you know Tom, he's been working on ATN um yeah, it's been a bit of a joke of course, even in the sense that he might even be worse than Roman being a Joke because he is someone who has made so many mistakes over and over again, someone who doesn't realize that he is not someone who is very confident in many of the things he does and of course who is a kisser, but this it is what it is. where, because he's a kisser, Albert really has his advantage because on the one hand he wants to make everyone above him happy, and I think what really makes him such a good candidate is that he's someone who has a lot of influence.

I think this is where we see a lot of Logan-like plays with Greg because he's someone who understands what's going on, he knows the gossip, he knows the rumors, he knows how to put them forward, we saw this happen. A couple of episodes ago, on election night, where he used his knowledge of Shiv working with Matson to his advantage to make sure he knows Kendall's good side if Kendall ends up becoming a staying star on the right path and doesn't. just that, but we have seen time and time again that he is someone who has been surprising everyone, on the one hand, with Matson, right, Matson had no respect for him, as we remember that Summit, he had no respect for him, as if he thought he was a joke, he thought it was someone who was like a cut, like he was only there because of nepotism, whichwhich of course there's clear nepotism about it, but having known about it after all the partying um in the election eve episode and having talked to him. for him to realize that he is someone who is willing to fire anyone without having any kind of feeling about it, like not having any kind of guilt about it, that has definitely impressed Matt a lot.

I think this is where he's really starting to get Matson's good graces. side because, again, if it's someone who kisses the top, who was he? If it's someone who has no plans about the actions they take while it's something that you know puts good on other people's good shoulders, then that's a good thing for Matson because, of course, if math is going to put someone as its visiting star American CEO, it needs someone who is willing. You know, he's willing to do his bidding, um, whenever he has something he needs, you know, do it in his favor, because the fact that you know Greg could be the American CEO doesn't it means it is. the one who's going to do all the DLC, he's the one who's going to take care of everything, it's still going to be Matson, right?

He's just going to tell you and you know, Greg's going to be the one who's going to do it. just executing those actions correctly and that's what we've seen so far in this whole scene is that he is someone who is willing to do whatever it takes as long as it means he's on someone's good side and not just has the Madison's good side, but she's also on Kendall's good side, so she has everyone's good side right now, aside from Shiv of course, and I don't think that ship has a great position right now going forward. to the whole.

CEO position, but right now, if we're going to look at everyone, some of the biggest contenders right now we're looking at becoming CEO is going to be Matson Kendall and I think with both of them they have, you know what kind of confidence in Greg anyway. possible, knowing that he is someone who has all the information, he is someone who has all the knowledge around him, he has an influence, he is someone who understands what is happening around him and is willing to spill the beans whenever possible. since there is something in return for him and if you know, and so far, that has worked in his favor in a big way in the last few episodes, like before, it was kind of a joke, but now he has really improved in a big way in latest.

In some episodes, let's also not forget the fact that you know he was there at Logan's funeral. He was one of the barriers to his you know, coffin that makes him an ideal person right now, knowing that he's okay, here's Greg. really introducing himself to the world and knowing that he's Logan Roy's nephew again, that increases his chances of having a much better chance of becoming CEO because of that, so I feel like there's a lot of ways that Greg right now there's a lot of things going on. which many people can understand that he is someone they can take good control over and by the fact that he is someone who is willing to kiss someone who is willing to be a people. accommodating as long as it works in his favor and makes sure that he has everyone's support, everyone's favor, now he's not one at the end of the day, he really rises to the occasion.

I wouldn't be surprised if because of all these qualities, Greg has shown that this is going to pay off big for him and that he has become the CEO and I think again, thinking about the penalty episode, you know that Matson was talking to Shiv about the whole American CEO situation. I think the person sitting in front of Madison I feel like it has to be cool I think that I feel like it's a clear answer, you know, I like everything I feel like the person sitting in front of her has to be Greg just because again his relationship has become very strong since the last few episodes again, the fact that math is starting to respect him a little bit and I think not only that, but I think Max understands that he is someone who is a huge asset to his own position when making sure the acquisition goes through, if it goes through, of course, that would mean you know Greg will probably become the CEO, so again I think Greg is somebody, yeah, of course, for the fact that you know that he's not someone that a lot of people would want to be as CEO just because he hasn't been the most central character, he's definitely been more of a supporting cast and of course someone who is You know, number two is basically not for Tom, of course, but I think again because of his experiences with it, the fact that again we've seen so much of what he's done so far in the company that you know. he has one of the best chances to become CEO and yes, he could become a Vibe broker brand right there because as you know, he hasn't really been the biggest player or again, a lot of people would have considered him. like at the bottom of the food chain where he actually becomes CEO, I think a lot of people are underestimating him and his abilities as someone who has been working at the company for quite a while and not understanding that he is someone who has possessed many of you know the skill size experiences and are willing to dodge anyone by means for your own good so I think that's where I feel like you have a second best chance.

I think he has the best chance of making it to the end as the next CEO, especially if the Matson acquisition is done right, so if the girl during the waste or the deal is approved and you know Roman and Kendo can't stop him in time and Mountain gains full control of Waystar. I think at that point it's pretty clear that he's going to be gray, like he'd be cool if he wasn't anyone else, so yeah, I'll say, but don't be surprised. Greg somehow wins. he becomes CEO because, of course, again, for that to happen it has to be quite a crazy situation.

I don't think if you know Kendall becomes CEO it will be great who takes over, no it will be if If Madison makes the acquisition happen, that would mean that Greg is the definitive person to become the CEO, as if there just wouldn't be any argument about it and it will happen if you go that route, so again, there's a lot, a lot. In a lot of situations you think about a lot of what-if situations, but if you go a route where Matson becomes the winner, then Greg also becomes the winner, so I'm just giving a warning right there, but yeah, I think Greg has a great chance.

Although many people are trying to rule this out as a possible scenario, but it could be possible, it is one of the strongest scenarios heading into the end of the series. I think the person most likely to win this CEO job is the person most likely to become Logan Roy's successor, who has the best chance of becoming the next wasteful CEO, has to be Kendall, like there would be competition on it, so now, of course, there are a lot of questions, but I will do it. Say this right, having seen season four, I mean, we've seen in previous seasons where Kendall has been a bit of a disaster, right, she's really had some problems, you know, it's in the first few seasons, you know, Logan.

I know I betrayed him in some cases, not allowing him the chance to become the CEO who was originally supposed to take over the company until the whole situation with Logan is resolved and then of course as if he was just someone which again from the beginning was kind of He's a Madman in a sense in that he just hasn't been able to show his full potential as a potential successor, which again may have called into question a lot of Logan's choices of deciding who can succeed him properly and, of course, as if it continued. portraying Logan, um, he, you know, messed up a lot of times and, of course, the whole situation with, you know, in the first season where he committed involuntary manslaughter, I mean, that's something that we continue to place in as well. , so it's something I have to do.

What I also think with Shiv is that if she's going to have any influence, then of course what she does have is that Kindle has committed manslaughter and that could turn into a big situation now, we don't know if that's going to happen . Of course, but I don't think I've seen the fourth season so far. I think one of the things that we have to see is that we have been seeing such a huge transformation with Kendall, since since Logan's death we have been seeing such a dramatic transformation with with Kendall as um for one thing, like the fact that he becoming the co-CEO has really played a big role for him.

I mean, of course, let's not forget the whole underlining or Frost Off situation that really called into question his own situation. mentality of whether this is what her father wanted or not, but I think what I have to say about Kendall is that the way we're seeing Kendall grow in season four and the way he's very ambitious and very calculated to becoming a CEO is that he basically has his own Michael Corleone vibe, so that's where I have a feeling that The Godfather is going this whole season and I say this because I think the way that What we've seen with Kendall is that how much The more we see in each episode, the more he becomes like Logan and shows that he is willing to make a lot of tough decisions if it means trying to protect the business as he begins it.

Realizing that the business is what's really important, that means sometimes having to sacrifice some people around him and he's doing and having seen some of the things that he's done so far, he's making those tough decisions like for one thing. , is trying to think like that. He and his father have been doing a very good job of doing that, for example, to subtly inform the press about Logan's true personality, who Logan really is to the public, and making sure that he doesn't. It comes right back to him making a sneaky move right there and the fact that you know he wants to keep the companies is a big factor, but also that he's very ambitious and he wants to make sure that if he wants to keep the company, it's what he needs.

He likes to do it in a way that really makes a company very impressive, but also at the same time, even though he's a co-CEO, a star right now, it seems like we can clearly say that he doesn't want that to be the case. . he wants to become the soul CEO and he's willing to backstab Roman and I think the last episode really solidified a lot of what's going on because he literally told Roman that he basically realized he made a big mistake. The timing and the way he talks to him is like you really get those Logan vibes, like he basically took him down so hard into Nazi, which you know, this is what Logan would have done, he would have just crushed Roman, that would have hurt his own feelings and we can see in that scene the way we see Kendall, the way he talks to her like he has no problems, he doesn't have any feelings about it, like he's trying to be nice, of course, The way he who reacts like all kinds of Logan Vibes comes like the more we see Logan, I mean why we say Kendall in every episode.

I feel like we're seeing more of Logan's success coming down the line. him and I think this is where again I'm looking at this as a very Michael Corleone woman because he's been someone who's really transformed more throughout this whole season showing himself as someone who's more capable of trying. I am the most capable in the CEO position, he has been the one who makes the big decision, he is the one who really takes charge of the company, more than Roman has the fact that he has more experience in the business that he has actually been in . with Logan for quite a while before the whole situation before the first season, I think because of all that it makes Kendall an ideal candidate to become CEO, I think of all the brothers so far, I think the one we have.

I've seen them emulate Logan a lot, it's been Kendall, we've been seeing that I think another good example has been his conversation with Hugo saying, "Okay, I want you to work with me and make sure that you're working with me and even though he's going to treat him like a dog, realize that you're going to need a lot of money and the fact that Hugo respects him so much was a great power play. I think this is something that he is someone who knows how to put the power play on. he knows how to be strategic, he's finally influencing everyone and he's feeling it and now, of course, coming to the end, right now he knows that his big problem is, I meant, having seen, you know the way he's sewing Finding Matson won't be a big problem for him because now that it puts the whole situation with Waystar in jeopardy, he doesn't want this acquisition to happen, so of course he'll have to figure out how to undo the mess that way. .he can still become CEO and I think there are a lot of things we can take into consideration, of course, on the one hand, I feel like one of the things that I think could be a great play is the election, I feel like the whole situation.

With election night it may not be far from over. I think here it iswhere we could see Kendall taking that to his advantage knowing that if mankin is not going to work alongside them then he has his own influence, he could have his own influence against doing now how he is going to execute that, I don't know, maybe he could undo it, the whole situation was in Wisconsin. I have no idea, but I feel like he's able to think clearly about some of the power plays. Trying to figure out the leverage, trying to figure out the collateral for all of this, I think he could now become Kendall's favorite, of course, if Kendall is able to somehow pull it all off so that the company becomes the partner. , there will be a cost, true, there will be a cost associated with this and there is no denying that there will be some type of cost to your decisions.

To be some sacrifices, this might mean having to break his ties with his siblings, the fact that he might know, for a thing like, of course, we want them in his family, that's been a big thing they've mentioned until now. we saw in the last episode how he's trying to, you know, go to court, go to court against his ex-wife for the decision she made to move the kids out of New York or at least New York City. and take them upstate the fact that he's going to try to do that, that's going to be a huge thing, the fact that he's trying to be liked again, we're seeing a lot of Logan inside of him, where it's like he puts business first. and everything else after. and if that means how to drag his brothers to get to that position, he has no problem with it, he won't think twice, he will realize that there will have to be some things that he already knows and that there are some things that he has to give up there are some things he needs to make some past decisions that could cause some kind of relationship, he still loves his siblings, his family, um, but anyone who is close to him, right, but if that means he's going to land. he has this chance to become the CEO of Waystar and keep the company going too, that way he wants to be in charge, so I wouldn't be surprised if Kendall does that again.

A lot of power from Michael Corleone plays with a lot of vibes. I feel like this is again where I feel like at this point season four is going to have a little bit of that, you know Godfather Vibe just from the fact that Kendall is the most capable of what's going on and playing the game and unlike Roman , who is very reckless, who doesn't really think twice about his actions, who thinks too much about himself and doesn't realize that this will become his fault in the long run. I think when Kendall is someone who's trying to be. a little smarter about the police than he does, like remembering election night, like he doesn't fully support Mankin, like he wants to see who would have his back in this whole precision situation, right, who's he going? siding with him and of course after all the talk about manking he decided to go with mankin because it's a strategy not because he thinks he's a better candidate but it's a strategy right?

And I think now that's becoming a conflict. For him, of course, now he needs to think of other ways to actually deal with the whole situation with the acquisition and having to find every kind of leverage or every kind of outcome that works in his favor to make sure he wins. In the end now, will he win? It's a big if because again it's his chance for Kendall to become the CEO, of course, it would have to depend on the fact that you know somehow that the Matson deal falls apart, the fact that you know it's a waste.

You don't know that Goja got a get, but the fact that you know that everything ends well? I wouldn't even be surprised if in the end we get to see the reverse game where there is a star who ends up buying Gojo and It's not like Gojo buys Star, right? Those will be a lot of the big power plays that I could see that would again go in Kendall's favor, which would again show that he is probably the best candidate to become CEO because decisions like the ones you know acquisition that would work in his favor and again, a lot of it will go into the whole situation of okay, who's to say where the outcome goes?

Is Madison going to win? Will it be Roman and Kendall if he ends up converting? Roman Kendall, then of course that would mean that Kendall would probably be the one to surpass everyone and take over the company in that matter, so yes, there are a lot of things to consider about Kendall becoming the CEO and whether his The possibilities are possible with the whole scenario that you know with Matson, but if it goes in his favor, then I think without a doubt the person is going to win, it will be Kendall at that point, but it could go either way, so yeah, I think so.

You have it like this: This is my ranking of who will become, let's see who is most likely to become the CEO of the Wave star Roy Co. A couple more

predictions

, you know? Consider getting into this ending and some of the other things I feel like haven't really been answered, from what I've read, apparently the end of the series feels like you know it, it feels like there's more to the story you should cover , but at the same time it feels. as a satisfying ending and I wonder if there are a lot of things that happen over the last four seasons that happened but haven't been addressed, I think the one thing a lot of people are wondering is how do you meet the student as a whole.

Election night is something we're ever going to have a resolution for, like having him actually win or Jimenez somehow, you know, somehow won the whole situation again. I feel like getting to the end, the election night situation might not be the end. From this, we could see more progression again if anyone is going to play with that whole scenario, it will be Kendall, but at the same time there are also other things to consider, like for example, Kindle still has one thing that works against it. him is that the fact that he has this whole manslaughter thing that was covered up from behind, as you know, Logan had covered it all up and considering he shared that Revelation with Shiv and Roman, he's not putting himself on the spot. vulnerable position, of course, because if either of them realizes that Kendall wants to become the sole CEO and neither of them want that to be the case or want to see the outcome, then either of them might blurt out.

I think the most likely thing is that the person is going to Spill the Beans forward, it will only be because you know how stubborn she is, how she really wants that position and I feel like if someone is going to use it against her, being more shiv than Roman, no I think Roman would do that kind of thing because I think even if Roman can be such a tough person, he's not someone who likes to stand by his family, I think he's probably just one person. I think it's more likely that Ship does that to back off anyone, since we've seen her do that before in season three, where she said some really bad things about Kendall in that you know, statement she made at the time when were.

There was kind of a fight and kind of a dispute at the time and they were kind of on separate paths, um, so again I feel like anyone is going to use it against him, it's going to be a backstab, but we'll see if she can use it. that to her advantage um other things again I feel like I mentioned election night I mentioned about the Manseller situation I mentioned how Tom and her were probably going to work together on the whole situation if that means again if it works in their favor working together then something as well as working um you know in front of each other so it's better to have two minds than one um other things that I can consider um you know, someone else just became the CEO like it couldn't even be any of the people or any of the people in the running to become CEO, it could just be a random person taking over, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if they did it again, if it's going to be something it's going to be something like the board of directors or something from Matson . um it could happen in any kind of scenario with that um or again like we don't know what's going to happen with the company itself because again, the company has dealt with a lot of issues before and I wouldn't be surprised if they knew something unexpected. happens or the company where they closed I highly doubt it, but it is a possibility um yes, I think there are many things that I have mentioned before again, we do not know what is going to happen in the end because there are simply There are so many things that have not been resolved.

I wonder again which one thing about the whole jury loss is going to play a big role in Roman's downfall. I don't know if it will become an important case, yes. There's just a lot of things to take into consideration if we go to the finale again, it's going to be a 90 minute finale, so many things are going to happen, so I imagine a lot of people will put in something big, you know, a big game. It moves um and we'll see again who ends up winning the whole game, who becomes the successor, um, hence the succession, so yeah, I think that's all I have to say about my

predictions

for the end of the series, this was my ranking.

I think you know he has the lowest and highest chances of becoming the CEO of Wayside, where Co. I mean, I think again it could come down to Greg Kendall or Jerry. I think they are the ones who have the best chance of converting. a CEO, um, again, some of this might be controversial, some of this might be, you know, nice, right? I think this is what I think would end up becoming the case coming to the end again, just given what we've seen in the last four. seasons, as well as some of the more recent episodes, how everyone's been playing with you, you know, playing their chess boards, basically, how they're making their moves to get to the end of the series and, again, I can't, I can't even I can't even believe we're finally going down. only one episode away, but I'm excited to see this final episode.

I'm excited to see who ends up winning, if anyone wins, if everyone wins, I doubt everyone will win, but someone is going to win, we will have many. losers and this will be a great finale to watch so with that being said that's all I have to say about my predictions let me know what you think about my ranking here do you agree with what I've said: Do you think Could Jerry Greg or Kendall have the best chances of becoming CEO? Or maybe I'm just being too ambitious or maybe I've missed a few things here and there.

If so, let me know what your rating is. Who do you think will become the CEO? Let me know your top five picks and tell me and give me an explanation of why, if you can, briefly and yeah, what are some other predictions you have going into the end of the series? we see things like election night still in play, we can still see things like the manslaughter situation coming back into the spotlight. Is someone going to pull off such a big power move in the final episode and you know, surprise everyone if so? could be and let me know if you have any other kind of predictions to wrap up knowing that we're finally getting to the final episode, let me know in the comments below and be sure to like and subscribe.
