4. Olly
After the shocking events that left viewers staring at their screens in stunned silence during the final episode of season five, Olly is, like, the most hated Game of Thrones character in the history of the show - and arguably television in general (more than Joffrey, even!). Given that he was the main architect behind the death of Jon Snow (or the instigator, at least), it's really not surprising that everyone who watches Game Of Thrones now wants this kid well and truly dead. Is it weird to pray for a character who is essentially a child to die, though? Probably, and yet Olly outright murdered one of the show's most beloved characters, which pretty much means that he's considered fair game. Most people suspected that Olly would come to betray Jon Snow, of course, with the show foreshadowing such a thing for the length of its fifth season; Olly disagreed with Jon's decision to befriend the Wildlings (who killed his parents), so he opted to bump off his best chance of avoiding a terrible fate because he just couldn't live with that. In true Game Of Thrones style, Olly will probably be spared for years to come - if the show even bothers to catch up with him at all. In the meantime, though, the world waits with baited breath for a scene in which Olly is dropped headfirst from the top of the Wall.
