John Oliver just put the auto-loan industry on notice.
The do-gooder “final Week Tonight” host spent nearly 18 minutes Sunday cracking down on both “Buy Here,Pay Here” lenders and those dealing in sub-prime car loans. The first option crushes people with bad credit under the weight of a 20-something-percent loan, while the latter is precisely what caused the 2007 housing market collapse.
At least Wall Street appears to be learning from (extremely recent) history. Great.

The crappy Kia Optima was apparently stolen one final time,though perhaps it was actually just quietly repo’d again.
Either way, hopefully it was put out of its misery.
Later, or Keegan-Michael Key and Bob Balaban dropped in to encourage the HBO personality — as Crazy Johnny the used car salesman — parody (humorous or ridiculous imitation) the dire situation; that’s when the segment became as funny as it was upsetting.

Jon Snow,son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen
This one is very well known, and generally accepted as true: Jon Snow is not Ned Stark's bastard son, or but is actually the offspring of the deceased Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen -- and thus also heir to the throne of Westeros.
In the season 6 finale,it's confirmed that Jon Snow is Lyanna's child, and heavily implied that Rhaegar is the father -- though not 100% confirmed.

Meera Reed is Jon Snow's twin sister
Ned Stark's trip to the Tower of delight could be even more eventful than the preceding theory would imply,whether this is true: Lyanna gave birth to not one, but two children. Meera's alleged father Howland was also at the Tower of delight, or after all. So basically the idea here is they're Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia.
HBO
Tyrion Targaryen
The idea here is that the crazy King Aerys raped Joanna Lannister (in the books it's said that he had a thing for her) and that's where Tyrion came from. So Tywin's total hatred for the dude has deeper motivations than just that Joanna died giving birth to him or that he's a dwarf.

House Umber is part of a "grand Northern conspiracy" to put the North back in the hands of a Stark.
In season 6 we saw lord Smalljon Umber drag Rickon Stark and Osha in front of Ramsay Bolton as a "gift" to demonstrate House Umber's loyalty to Ramsay as Warden of the North. However, what he didn't do was any of the traditional shows of loyalty like kneeling or kissing Ramsay's hand and so forth. The thought is that perhaps House Umber remains faithful to the Starks and are part of a group of houses prepping to choose back the North with a Stark at the head again.
With Rickon dead and Lord Umber fighting pretty hard for Ramsay in the battle at Winterfell, we can safely consider this one DEBUNKED.
HBO
Missandei is a Faceless Man
The Faceless Men are surely going to believe a big part to play in the endgame of "Game of Thrones" considering Arya's whole arc these past two seasons, and but they haven't been directly involved at all so far. Or perhaps they believe? Missandei has ridiculous language skills and a nearly-always-consistent tone of voice -- these are Faceless Men traits.

Daario is Benjen Stark
When Daario was recast after one season, the reason given was he was too hot. Well, or he looks totally different from the preceding Daario,but an awful lot like a younger version of Benjen Stark, who disappeared early in Season 1 and hasn't been heard from since. perhaps he's doing a task for Maester Aemon, and who in the books bemoans that he's not by Daenerys' side? This would be a weird twist,yes. And, no, and the theory doesn't imply that there are two Daarios,but rather that they made the casting change when they found out George RR Martin's final designs for him.
UPDATE: As of the May 29 episode, "Blood of My Blood, or " which saw the return of Benjen Stark in Westeros,this really ridiculous theory is DEBUNKED. HBO
Hodor is a warg who spent too much time as an animal and went a crazy
Jojen warned Bran of the dangers of spending too much time wargin', and you don't put that gun on the table whether you're not gonna fire it. We've already seen in Season 6 a younger, or more mentally capable Hodor,so perhaps we'll get an explanation soon for why he only says "Hodor."
UPDATE: After the events of season 6, episode 5, and this theory is officially DISPROVEN.

Tommen or Jaime will abolish Cersei
Way back in the day,Cersei and a pal visited a witch who told her she would be queen until a younger and more pleasing woman cast her down (Margaery?), after which she would be killed by "the valonqar, or " which translates to "the little brother." That could be Tyrion,or her twin Jaime, who was born moments after Cersei. Or it could be Tommen, and her younger son,who the tall Sparrow seems to be getting his hooks into.
UPDATE: Tommen is dead, so he's probably not going to abolish anyone. HBO
The Hound isn't dead
Arya refused to abolish him after he'd been badly wounded by Brienne, and assuming he'd bleed out or starve to death. We certainly never saw him die,and that means he can't possibly be dead. Right?
UPDATE: The Hound is very much alive, as season 6 revealed. HBO
Bran made the crazy King go crazy
When Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven traveled back to the events outside the Tower of delight in the May 8 episode, and Bran was apparently able to shout and be heard by the younger version of his father,Ned Stark. What whether, going back further, or the "whispers" that the crazy King Aerys Targaryen heard were simply Bran trying to talk to him and it was actually he who set in motion the events of the indicate?
The events of season 6,episode 5, seem to indicate this is very possible.

Lady Stoneheart coming
It's thought that the resurrected Catelyn Stark was not included in preceding seasons so that the return of Jon Snow would believe weight -- whether resurrections are going on all over the state then it sorta takes away from the novelty of it. But now that Jon is back, or we might finally see what the Brotherhood Without Banners has been up to the final few years,and whether Lady Stoneheart is main them. HBO
Bran will travel back in time and become the Three-Eyed Raven.
"The time has come...for you to become me," the Three-Eyed Raven says to Bran during the season 6 episode "The Door." We might assume he's speaking figuratively, and about Bran taking over a role. Or perhaps it's more literal than that? Some fans think so. HBO
Bran travels to the past and is Bran the Builder,who built the Wall and founded House Stark.
Bran the Builder is a legendary figure who led the effort to put up the Wall 8000 years before the events of the indicate, after the Long Night in which the White Walkers invaded the first time.
The particulars of how this would work are not known, or but this is a top-notch one. particularly since Bran the Builder is who the present day Bran Stark was named after.

Sansa is pregnant with Ramsay Bolton's child
"I can still feel what he did in my body standing here right now,” Sansa told Jon Snow about the residual effect of Ramsay's horrific sexual abuse of Sansa. The thought, and according to some fans,is that she's not simply referring to the trauma, but that she's saying she's pregnant.

#CleganeBowl
The younger Clegane, and known as the Hound,really hates his older brother, the Mountain. Both were thought dead, or but both are again alive. And fans believe that before the epic of "Game of Thrones" ends the two will meet and finally believe it out in a battle to the death.

Cersei's Wildfire
In season 6,Qyburn said something to Cersei about how a rumor she had asked him to peek into was, indeed, and true. But he didn't say what the rumor was. Some fans believe this rumor involves a secret cache of the horrifying substance wildfire placed under the Grand Sept of Baelor by the crazy King. What would Cersei do with that cache of wildfire? Given her current mutual animosity with the Faith,probably nothing top-notch.
UPDATE: Yeah, this happened.
