'The Vampire Diaries': Is Tyler going to kill one of his best friends?

Uh-oh. When "The Vampire Diaries" revealed that in order to make his full werewolf transformation, Tyler (Michael Trevino) would have to kill a human, I couldn't help but worry about the fate of Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig), since they're the people who spend the most time with Tyler.At this weekend's NYC Comic-Con, executive producer Julie Plec didn't do much to ease my worries. Of course, she wouldn't reveal who the unlucky character would be, but she did give me an ominous hint.
"The way that that plays out, when it plays out, you're going to be concerned for someone on this table," she admits. "We'll just have to wait and see how it comes out the other side."
At the table were Roerig, McQueen, Sara Canning (Aunt Jenna) and Katerina Graham (Bonnie). Executive producer Kevin Williamson was also present, but I'm just going to take a wild guess that he's safe.
Of course, "concern" doesn't necessarily mean that one of the people in question is a goner. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's Uncle Mason (Taylor Kinney) who bites the bullet at Tyler's hand, since Mason is now an official bad guy.
So who do you think is on death watch? Let's discuss all the possibilities in the comments below. Meanwhile, I'll just be over here in my corner, keeping vigil over Matt's life.
EDIT: According to E! Online, an upcoming death will be permanent. "And it won't be the Jeremy-got-his-neck-snapped-but-was-wearing-a-magic-ring kind of death. This one will be for good. The character will be no more. And the actor will no longer be working on the show."

I'm bettin' it's Jeremy. Tyler won't know that he can't be killed while wearing the ring however the act would probably trigger the curse.
hm..... i think i'll never forgive julie&kevin for makin mason a bad guy. i think kat will get rid of him once she doesn't need him
nooooooooooo, they both need to stay alive!!! there's so much potential there. Have Tyler kill off Amy.
Wow, that just felt horrible, wishing death on someone. I guess there's no way around it though, on a show with vamps and weres.

Maybe he could "kill" Jeremy...so that we won't lose a character, but the curse will be triggered. I definitely don't think Matt will be the one to die b/c Kev said that there's too much story to tell with his character. I still REALLY hope Matt doesn't get hurt though!!!! ): I honestly hope he kills Mason, though. That'd be epically awesome in my opinion.
As much as I want it to be Bonnie, my money's on Matt. His character's pretty superfluous at this point. But I don't like him.
I really hope it's not Matt. I would be seriously pissed off if he leaves the show. So Julie&Kevin take notes :P leave Matt alive :P
and what about sheriff mom?
It better not be Bonnie. They've killed enough women on this show already.
If it is a permanent death it is probably Matt. Poor Matt. He never could cut a break. Of course, they could shock me and have it be someone else. This show shocks me a lot!
I don't think Mason is eligible for the kill, is he? He said that Tyler had to spill human blood to trigger the curse and Mason isn't human any more. So, unfortunately, I think Mason is safe.
