Jaime Lannister: David Beckham. (I think I need a moment.)

Margaery Tyrell: Kim Kardashian -- opportunistic, outwardly sweet with a pretense of stupidity, but secretly clever... and very, very rich.

Sansa: Mostly Lindsey Lohan in Mean Girls but with a lot more money/influential family, depending on the point in the storyline.

Arya: Girl from the right side of town in a punk phase her family hopes she'll outgrow. Possibly Ends up like Lisbeth in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (in terms of badassery, not all the awful things that happen to her, etc... at least I hope not :-\ )

Stannis: Awesome.

Possibly an ex-marine who takes over his brother's company as CEO. Knows nothing about business but it is his duty so he hires alternative-PR-spokewoman Melisandre and long-time friend/reluctant strategy-analyst Davos.

Arya could do some athletics. She's a good swimmer and I think she would be good at gymnastics. She has a small build and received some training on balancing herself. I think she could do the tumbling passes if she was taught.

I think her personality would be like Clementine from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for some reason. Clem felt trapped and wanted to forget the past and start anew.

You know me, I'm impulsive.

I'll get bored with you and feel trapped because that's what happens with me.

My goal, Joel, is to just let it flow through me? Do you know what I mean.? I think we're all taught we should be consistent. Y'know? You love someone - that's it. Forever. You choose to do something with your life - that's it, that's what you do. It's a sign of maturity to stick with that and see things through. And my feeling is that's how you die, because you stop listening to what is true, and what is true is constantly changing. You know?

Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.

I'm a vindictive little bitch, truth be told!

Except she wouldn't work in a book store/library and would never tell a guy that she was going to marry him one day. She's more violent too.

Bran I could see being a reputable historian but maybe with a concentration on the use of mythology in different cultures. This is not what he initially planned for himself. He was going to be an athlete, jet fighter, or maybe an astronaut. He had an accident which has made him increasingly bitter and depressed over the years.

Robert and Theon are definitely frat boy types. Robert would also be like DiCaprio where he peaked early and gained weight.

Brandon Stark is George Clooney basically. Bachelor for life. He is prone to getting into fights so don't get on his bad side.

Missandei is an interpreter. She could also be a diplomat.

Tywin Lannister-Wallstreet for this guy.

Jorah is homeless.

Sansa is Taylor Swift.

Tyrion is a comedian. I've read that plenty of them are unhappy IRL so this works.

MMD is a voodoo witch. Melisandre is one of those fortune tellers who are full of it.

Catelyn is either a stage mom or a soccer mom.

The Lannister family would probably be a whole lot less fucked up (and interesting) in modern times, unless they were like a mafia-like structure of something that forces families to keep together. Both Cersei and Tyrion would have had rights and possibilities to escape their fathers plans without forever throwing away the chance for wealth and power, and knowing them, they'd have used them. I imagine they'd both be business people or politicians of a sort.

On this season of the biggest loser!

Samwell Tarley- A disapointment to his father for choosing math and science over baseball. His marks are fantastic across the board except in gym which he has not passed since the first grade. Constantly bullied, Sam turned to food, what he saw as his only solace. Will he be our biggest loser!?

Wyman Manderly- As a high level executive at North Co, Wyman has seen his superiors constantly fired since the buyout from South Co. The constant paranoia that Wyman may lose his job next, has led him to a life of stress eating to the point where he can no longer even fit in his car. Will he be our biggest loser!?

Illyrio Mopatis- When Illyrio's wife died, it left an enormous void in his life. Neither his riches or other women could fill this void, which drove him to fill it with decadent cuisine. While Illyrio can still move around at this point, it gets very hot in the summer and his majestic forked beard can no longer hide his discomfort. Will he be our next biggest loser!?

Butterbumps- Butterbumps was never loved by his parents at home as a child and so he was always seeking the adoration of others. In school, he was the class clown and all of his peers found him very amusing. As an adult, Butterbumps is a struggling comedian failing to spark laughter into his audiences. As an attempt to rectify this, Butterbumps decided to put on a massive amount of weight to try his hand at physical comedy. After failing at that too, Butterbumps has been struggling to take the weight off. Will he be our next biggest loser!?

Lysa Tully- Lysa was always second best in everything to her sister Catelyn. She was always less pretty, intelligent and sane than Catelyn and this reality never ceased to torment her mind. When she was young she married a rich older pilot, Jon Arryn. Because of Jon's age, his own little plane would not fly very high at all and they constantly struggled to have children. They managed to give birth to a sickly boy, but a few years later Jon died in a mysterious plane crash. Struggling as a single parent worrying for the health of her boy, Lysa has forgotten to worry about her own health. Will she be our next biggest loser!?

Walda Frey- Coming from the Frey family of Twins Wedding Planning Company fame, Walda has always felt pressured by the romantic ideal of society because she could never find anyone that wanted to be with her. When her grandfather introduced her to one of his business associates, Roose Bolton, she found love at first sight and the two were soon married. Even though Walda's husband loves her mountainous curves, she wants to feel lighter and healthier. Will she be our next biggest loser!?

All on this season of the biggest loser hosted by celebrity trainers Jaime Lannister and Brienne of Tarth.

Ned would work for a I've cream delivery service . I can't think of what their slogan might be?

Jon would be in a Ramones cover band.

Sansa would be a model.

Arya would be an method actor.

Ramsey would just be a night club bouncer.

Walda Frey would be and adult film star, for the men who are into larger ladies. And Roose would have no problem with it as long as she gets that gold.

Stannis would be an a guns smuggler. Davos would still be his right hand man.

The Clegene brothers would be in and out of prison.

since I live in brazil and types like cheerleaders, jocks, big-time celebrity athletes/entertainers and marines are not exactly part of our culture, I'd say...

based on how I perceive their personalities, not matching what actually happened to them in the books,

- catelyn would be a veggie, crafty type mother who makes a living selling her stuff on the internet

- ned, her husband, builds ecologically minded houses and brews his own beer

- lysa would be the same as catelyn, but gone awry. overprotective and obsessed with health or something

- cersei would, at this point, have gone through tons of unnecessary cosmetic procedures and would work as a businesswoman who could never quite make it to the top of the company

- robert would be head of a big company always getting people to do his job for him while he reaps the rewards

- jon would be the introspective ranch owner who tends his own horses and makes a living breeding them, living in the country by choice where his family is mostly urban people

- arianne would be a theater actress, playwright and nude model

- tyrion would be a history teacher, wine connoisseur and amateur chef

- howland reed would be some genius code-writing guy working for apple or microsoft or a physicist working at CERN
