Most commentators think there are/have been four in the final knockout round - Caroline Thomson, George Entwistle, Ed Richards and Box 13 - gender and identity unknown.
If that's right - and The Trust, as we know, are revelling in the cloak and dagger of all this - staff will be hoping the bunting's out this week on the streets of Southfields, for the King of the Wandle, George Entwistle - tipped by at least one Cabinet minister, and Mark Thompson's favourite from the start.
Still, online bookmaker
Bodog has now made Ed Richards odds on, at 4/7. Aaargh.
