On Tuesday (July 26), MTV announced the nominees for the upcoming 2016 Video Music Awards, and one very popular name was noticeably shut out in every category: Taylor Swift. How in the world is the biggest name in pop music, ruler of the lady squad, fake girlfriend of Tom Hiddleston and Kimye’s ultimate power rival not up for at least one award?

RELATED: Will Lady Gaga pull a Swift and write a Taylor Kinney break-up album?

The answer is simple, actually. And it has nothing to do with the audio recording Kim Kardashian leaked on Snapchat. To be considered for a 2016 Video Music Award a music video needed to be released by December, 2015. Swift’s smash hit “1989” album was released in 2014 and it was showered with praise at the 2015 VMAs — receiving a whopping 10 nominations and taking home four total wins.

However, MTV could’ve recognized Swift for her Joseph Khan directed “Out of the Woods” music video. It wasn’t released until December of last year … and yet the collaboration received no love.

It feels like MTV would take advantage of any opportunity to lock down Swift's presence at the 33rd annual awards ceremony. Yet, just one look at this year's Video of the Year nominees and it's understandable as to why Swift couldn't be shuffled into the mix. "Out of the Woods" just doesn't hold a candle to the competition.

Those up for the night's biggest prize include: Adele's "Hello," Beyonce's "Formation," Drake's, "Hotline Bling," Justin Bieber's "Sorry" and Kanye West's "Famous." That is one stacked category and given her mention in that Kanye track, it's anyone's guess how the night's drama will unfold.

While Swift also missed out on a Best Collaboration nom, her ex-boyfirend Calvin Harris earned one for his work with Rihanna for "This is What You Came For." He got another nod for Best Male Video with "How Deep is Your Love."

JoJo Fletcher may not be the smartest “Bachelorette” in the shed — that’s how that phrase goes, right? As she stands before her final rose ceremony, her choice has been narrowed down to Robby — a guy who probably still has a toothbrush at his ex’s house — and Jordan Rodgers … the guy who may not talk to his famous older brother, but is using said fame to his advantage anyway.

It’s pretty obvious Rodgers has no interest in being JoJo’s fiance and is gunning to be the next “Bachelor,” instead. Hey, if JoJo thrives on the stress and uncertainty of whether her man is honest and faithful, then she really knows how to pick ’em.

It is no simple feat being the star of one of the most-watched and criticized reality shows. And it’s easy to see why people are quickly jumping on the JoJo bashing bandwagon after Monday night’s (July 25) episode. There are numerous things for which we can rag on JoJo for, but the flack she’s receiving for the way she sent Chase home is ridiculous. How JoJo dealt with Chase is the second most mature and unselfish action she’s made this season.

Coming in first, is how swiftly JoJo gave Chad the boot. A more insecure girl would’ve kept the aggressive meathead around longer merely because he’s nice to look at. An individual with less will power might not have been able to ignore the show’s producers who were probably begging to keep Chad — a guy who would readily trade her up for a protein shake — around just a bit longer. The man’s a ratings goldmine.

But JoJo was having none of The Chad’s oversized ego. And he is nothing like Ben. The moment she got wind that there was a man with violent tendencies in the house, JoJo kicked him to the curb.

So, on Monday’s episode, right after spending romantic nights with both Robby and Jordan, it hits JoJo that she does not lust after Chase the same way she does with Robby and Jordan. While it’s difficult to wrap our brains around why she’s fallen for the two most untrustworthy guys in the house — or how Chase the Robot lasted this long in the competition — the easy move in this scenario would’ve been to take Chase into the Fantasy Suite anyways, and mess with his heart with misleading pity sex.

We’re sorry, but that sounds way more terrible. And it’s possible that, if Chase didn’t go out on a limb to say, “I love you,” JoJo might’ve still invited him to stay the night. If he wasn’t emotionally invested, it would be casual for both of them. But then Chase poured his heart out and she had no choice but to shut things down.

Most people in JoJo’s position, in order to avoid such an uncomfortable and awkward confrontation, would’ve done exactly that. But JoJo knows what it’s like to be in Chase’s shoes. And to be intimate with someone whom you later find out doesn’t actually love you – well, it really sucks.

While the initial sting definitely hurts, and Chase made his understandably upset feelings known, in the long run he’s better off. And it’s because of this reason that Chase was able to return to the rose ceremony the next day and apologize for his heat of the moment reaction. Taking time to cool off, he realized that — while it’s a serious bummer that his feelings aren’t reciprocated — JoJo did the virtuous thing and stopped leading him on the moment she knew he wasn’t the one.

Now … this in no way takes away from the fact that JoJo has shot herself in the foot this season.  She’s narrowed down her choices to two men whose only current occupations consist of being former athletes. But she deserves to be commended, and not vilified, for the way handled Chase.

It’s not only the absolute best thing she could’ve done in what was already crappy situation, Chase now has a shot at being the next “Bachelor”! How about we take a note from JoJo’s handbook and be real about the chances of that ever happening: It won’t.

“The Bachelorette: Men Tell All” special airs on Tuesday, July 26, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The season finale of “The Bachelorette” airs Monday, August 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

As “Suits” moves through Season 6, it’s slowly becoming clear to audiences that the true stars of this series are not the men, but the ladies. While Harvey (Gabriel Macht), Mike (Patrick J. Adams) and Louis (Rick Hoffman) are still lovable complicated characters portrayed by talented actors, Rachel (Meghan Markle), Donna (Sarah Rafferty) and Jessica (Gina Torres) have been stealing every scene. It almost seems as if executive producer Aaron Korsh is readying audiences for a “Suits” spin-off featuring the ladies, which would be amazing news.

RELATED: TV Query: Has Harvey’s ‘Suits’ painting been there the whole time?

Because all the lead characters on this series are so layered and well-thought out, “Suits” could still stand on its own if Mike, Harvey and Louis remain on the original series. If a women-powered spin-off were to happen, it makes the most sense for it to center around Jessica Pearson.

Jessica Pearson is a powerful enough character to anchor her own series. After helping clean up the disaster that Pearson Specter Litt is currently in, it would awesome to see her go off and star anew with her own firm. Donna, forever stuck in a rut as long as she’s tied to Harvey’s desk, would finally break free from her secretary role if she follows Jessica to the new offices. And if Rachel breaks things off with Mike, it would be natural for her to follow her mentor wherever she goes.

There would be male partners included in her new firm, of course. For Pearson is a fierce feminist. We’d also get to know more about Jessica’s background. Who’s her family? Where did she grow up? There’s still so much learn about one of the most kick-butt leading female characters on TV.

Even though we’re only three episodes into Season 6, “Suits” is already knocking its Bechdel test out of the park. All of these female heavy scenes include discussions about race, work, family – and these woman talk with such intelligence and wit – imagine an entire series like this? It would be wonderful. And the major bonus? All the opportunities for crossover episodes. There are so many ways for which the original crew could reunite, whether it be work based or personal, so audiences won’t have to worry about never seeing all their favorite “Suits” characters together again.

“Suits” airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on USA.

It says a lot about the massive star power of NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers that his baby brother was able to become an overnight sensation after merely being announced as a contestant on “The Bachelorette.” As a surprise to no one, Jordan is now one of JoJo Fletcher’s final two suitors, with rumors all pointing to him as the winner. The problem is that JoJo and Jordan appear to have different definitions of “winning” —  she wants a dedicated, faithful and beloved fiance and he wants to be famous.

Throughout this cycle of “Bachelorette” Jordan constantly reiterated the fact that he is not riding his brother’s coattails and is not privileged due to Aaron’s MVP career. He finally revealed on the show that he and his brother don’t even talk. Then it was evident during the hometown date that Jordan’s entire family doesn’t speak to the Green Bay superstar player.

RELATED: ‘Bachelorette’ hometown dates: Who is Luke Rodgers?

So, what happened? Jordan’s coy answer, “He doesn’t approve of my lifestyle,” gave little information, and while Jordan warned JoJo that his family doesn’t like talking about the middle brother, similar coy statements about the estranged relationship filled the entire hometown visit. “The past year or two, his brother hasn’t been a part of his life,” and “He really misses Aaron, but doesn’t like talking about it.”

The producers added two empty chairs at the dinner table to really drive home the fact people were missing for this hometown date. And Aaron is noticeably absent from every recent family photo brothers Luke or Jordan post on social media.

What started this family feud? Zap2it had to investigate. The rift seems to have begun in July 2015, when a longtime mutual pal of the Rodgers brothers, Francis Blay, got married. According to TerezOwens.com, Aaron was supposed to be a groomsman and then bailed at the last minute. In fact, he didn’t even bother to show up, prompting Luke to post pictures on Instagram with the not-so-subtle hashtag messages “#realfriendshowup” and “#realfriendsneverforgetwheretheycamefrom.”

People can only speculate to the reason why Aaron was forced to miss his buddy’s wedding. No one has yet to go on the record to explain his mysterious absence. But rumors have fingers pointing at Aaron’s girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn. The last straw for Rodgers’ parents seems to be when Munn went on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” and broadcasted details about Rodgers and Munn’s sex life to the world. Since then, Munn has never been seen at the same Green Bay games as Rodgers’ parents.

RELATED: RELATED: ‘Bachelorette’ conspiracy theory: JoJo & Jordan’s secret master plan

Firming up the distance between Aaron and his family seems to be one of Jordan’s ex-girflriends, Brittany Farrar. The personal trainer, who continues to be extremely close with Munn, publicly bashed Jordan for cheating on her. Farrar took to Instagram to speak her truth after Jordan confided to JoJo on “The Bachelorette” that they broke because of his zoom-like focus on his non-existent football career.

“The Bachelorette” bringing a spotlight to their family drama can’t be helping the situation. It’s also not quite fair to pin all the blame on Aaron. If Aaron’s frustrated that his brothers are constantly using him, only ever hitting him up to piggyback on his hard-earned success, well, there definitely might be some validity to that. Luke constantly uses his famous brother’s mug to promote his Pro Merch fan sports clothing brand. However, the last time Luke posted a real photo of himself and Aaron actually hanging out together was over four years ago.

Aaron has finally broken his silence on Jordan’s new-found fame, telling WISN sports, “I haven’t seen the show to be honest with you, so it hasn’t affected me a whole lot.” With a more pointed message directed at his brother, Aaron says, “I’ve always found it a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters, so I’m just — I’m not going to speak on those things, but I wish him well in the competition.”

One can’t help but feel the sarcasm upon hearing the NFL quarterback using the term “competition” while referencing his brother’s chances on the reality TV dating series. And there really isn’t a clearer way to say “screw you” than claiming he hasn’t taken time to watch his brother’s weekly starring role on one of the most-watched shows in America.

Wow. There’s no really other adjective to use when describing the final surprise twist host TJ Lavin announced at the end of Wednesday night’s (July 27) episode of “The Challenge: Rivals III.” Even though Zap2it called this kind of change-up happening mid-season, seeing it actually take place, and the contestants’ mixed emotional reactions will make watching this final challenge absolutely riveting.

RELATED: Is MTV hiding footage? ‘The Challenge’ kicks off Tony & Camila for no apparent reason

While this surprise new rule is quite “dirty and cutting” as Lavin describes, it’s a move that saves the series from having the most boring finale ever. Without this twist, Johnny Bananas and Sarah were going to wipe the floor clean with Jenna and Vinny and Devin and Cheyenne as their competition. By giving each contestant the option of keeping all the prize money to themselves, and not sharing the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place winnings with their “Rival” partner seriously shakes things up. These teammates, who’ve all at this point bonded into friends, are now “Rivals” once more.

The deep trustworthy bond and beautiful friendship that Bananas and Sarah rekindled this season has once again been squashed. The two were so dominant, worked so well together, and as veterans, treated with such respect by all the other contestants that they couldn’t help but wash their hand of their tumultuous past.

Now, it’s time kiss that newfound friendship goodbye. Bananas and Sarah are instantly distracted by this new rule, and can’t stop stewing over whether or not the other teammate is going to keep all the money for themselves or not. But even with this dark cloud hanging over their heads, it’s safe to assume that they’ll still whoop everyone’s butt. There’s really no chance that Vinny and Jenna or Devin and Cheyenne even have a prayer of beating Bananas and Sarah.

Bananas and Sarah have been through enough challenges before to be able keep their eyes on the prize. And if we had to hedge out bets, we’d put money that these two will make a pact midway through the finale and decide that whoever wins, the prize money will be split.  At the same time, $275,000 is a record amount for one person to win on a challenge ever. This is a title and paycheck that might be extremely hard for both Sarah, whose future plans include going to grad school and starting a family, or Bananas, who’s just bananas, to turn down.

The finale episode of “The Challenge: Rivals III” airs on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

It used be very rare to see an A-list celebrity signing on to do commercial work, but now it’s impossible to watch TV and not see some of Hollywood’s biggest stars promoting products in a 30-second ad. It’s fun seeing Tina Fey in her American Express ads. And It’s impossible to think of Minute Maid’s 50/50 orange juice without thinking of Fey’s “30 Rock” co-star Jane Krakowski. Upon seeing DIor perfume, we immediately envision Charlize Theron’s sexy mini-music video ads.

However, some celebrities don’t quite seem to fit with the brand they are selling. It’s as if companies don’t care who’s pitching their product as long as it’s a recognizable name. And this trend is nothing new. On Thursday (July 28), a Rice Krispies commercial from the early 1960s went viral because the song in the black and white ad was written and performed by The Rolling Stones. Yes, that’s right — the Rolling Stones wrote a cereal jingle. The notorious Hall of Fame rock band was once “Snap, crackle and popping.”

Mr. T for FlavorWave

Mick Jagger and crew are not alone in the, “Huh?” category of random celebrity endorsements. Remember when Mr. T was doing commercials for the FlavorWave Oven Turbo? Because he recorded an entire rap song for kitchenware item, and it’s amazing.

Mila Kunis for Jim Beam

Mila Kunis’ whiskey commercials are currently playing on small screens everywhere. Jim Beam tapped the actress as their spokeswoman, and while she looks great walking around a distillery, are we to believe the “Black Swan” star knows or cares anything about the brown liquor? It’s a hard sell.

Rachel Bilson for Magnum

Hot girls pitching not-so-healthy food items is a long-running trend. Magnum Ice-cream bars tapped the lovely Rachel Bilson for their popsicle commercials. If this feels random, we agree. And it’s hard to believe she eats this delicious-yet-fatty chocolate-covered caramel dessert after the cameraman yells, “That’s a wrap!”

Matthew McConaughey for Lincoln

At first, Matthew McConaughey’s car commercials seemed like a joke. Riffing off his “True Detective” character in 30-second spots that made absolutely no sense immediately became water-cooler talk. But now the Oscar winner, who we’d bet money still doesn’t and would never own a Lincoln, has embraced his new role as their spokesman. Yet, it’s still impossible to see these ads and not think, “Why in the world is Matthew McConaughey doing car ads?!”

Brad Pitt for Chanel

Speaking of weird ads, who can forget Brad Pitt’s uber-strange Chanel ads? They were so angsty they felt like a “Saturday Night Live” fake commercial, but no — they were real. It’s not an odd pairing so much as a really odd ad campaign.

On Thursday (July 28) “Supergirl” revealed the first look at Superman’s new suit and it is one fine looking outfit … and not just become actor Tyler Hoechlin is such a fine looking man. Designed by Kiertsin Ronning, the superhero’s outfit is very similar to his cousin Kara’s, and together they look like they are ready to take on anyone that might cause trouble in National City.

Superman is such an iconic comic book character that has been portrayed by so many different actors in both TV and film, Zap2it couldn’t help but wonder how Hoechlin’s body suit and cape stacks up against its predecessors.

RELATED: ‘Supergirl’ hangs out with Superman and reveals who’s in the pod!

Henry Cavill looks fantastic in his Superman cape and it’s nearly identical to that of Hoechlin’s. We’d say in this competition that it’s a tie.

Nic Cage was almost Superman in a Tim Burton movie that never came to fruition … and it’s for the best. This is by far, the worst suit ever.

Compared to Hoechlin and Cavill’s suit, Dean Cain’s Superman outfit on “Lois & Clark” looks like his mom bought it for him as a Halloween costume. The bright blue and red spandex makes it look cheap and store-bought.

Brandon Routh in the “Superman Returns” movie has a pretty good suit. It’s levels above that of Cain’s by getting rid of the shiny spandex material and using a deeper red tone for the accents.

Tom Welling on “Smallville” had the Clark Kent suit rip off down …

But it seems we can’t help but love the original Superman’s suit more than anyone’s. Christopher Reeve will forever be the Superman for which anyone who ever gets the honor to don such a suit will be compared.

Sure, it’s old-school-looking, but now the retro-ness of it seems even cooler. The power of this suit came from the man wearing it, now the outfit itself. While Hoechlin’s suit is a fierce reinvention of the tight fitting outfit and cape, he has some big superhero shoes to fill when it comes to replicating the heart and soul of what Superman truly represents. Not any man can put on a pair of tights and look awesome (ahem, Nic Cage), but Reeve did it with ease.

Since the Republican and Democratic National Conventions have taken over primetime TV, it’s hard not to think about how these candidates and their speeches so closely mirror Season 5 of “Scandal.”

Even though Shonda Rhimes wrote those episodes months in advance, it felt a bit eerie how much it matched the political drama currently happening in America. And unfortunately, the redundancy of it all made the dramatic series — starring Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope and Tony Goldwyn as President Grant — feel quite boring.

RELATED: ‘Scandal’s’ election pulls the ‘Trump Card,’ the woman card, the black card … all the cards

Soon after, ABC announced that the Season 6 premiere of “Scandal” would be bumped until Spring of 2017. Now, that’s a really long time to wait between seasons — heck, that’s a bigger production break than one of Ms. Pope’s wine glasses.

So Zap2it couldn’t help but wonder: Why do audiences have to wait a whole year before “Scandal” returns with new episodes?

Was this push made to distance the series from the current political climate? Are they hoping a real-life time jump can help refresh the White House drama?

While it’s scary to admit, there’s little Shonda Rhimes can write that will be more shocking or compelling than what’s happening right now in Washington, D.C. And with the way Season 5 came to a close, perhaps a fast forward on the series’ story can help bypass some even more redundant storylines.

RELATED: Donald Trump character steals the spotlight in ‘Scandal’s’ presidential race

However, the real reason behind the push is not due to the current presidential election. ABC bumped “Scandal” because Washington announced that she has a bump of her own! After the 39- year-old actress announced that she was pregnant with her second child, the network decided to wait until after she gave birth to start production back up.

The series covered up Washington’s first pregnancy during Season 3 with large coats and suitcases. So, instead of writing a pregnancy storyline into Season 6, ABC and the Shonda Rhimes crew probably felt it easier to wait until Washington is ready to return to work after her delivery.

It’d probably make more sense, story-wise. And, it goes without saying, there is no “Scandal” without the show’s lead gladiator.

As a writer working her first Comic-Con, I had no idea what to expect from the world famous event in San Diego. To be honest, SDCC sounded kind of insane. Full of crazy crowds and long lines -- and even though I love TV and movies more than the average person, I was weary of the entire fan-filled convention atmosphere. And then Zap2it got an email from Nickelodeon mentioning that Marc Summers was coming to Comic-Con, that they were recreating the set of "Double Dare," and oh, would any of the editors from Zap2it like to compete?

UHM. LET ME THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MIN -- YES.

My childhood dreams were coming true. Nickelodeon was celebrating the 30th anniversary of "Double Dare," and  leading up to the big event, The Splat was going to air marathons of this beloved '80s/'90s game show for the first time in 16 years. The Splat is the time block on Nick that airs from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I binged as many episodes as I could to refresh my memories of the obstacle course beforehand.

Remember to stick the flag down your shirt for no reason. (Check). Try to not get embarrassed by trivia questions that a 5th grader can answer. (Fail). Be prepared to get slimed. (We did not).

Having just celebrated my 30th birthday, I can not remember a time growing up in which my older siblings and I turned on the TV and didn't have a new episode of "DD" to watch. We shouted tips at the TV as if the contestants could hear us. We boasted that we could do all these challenges smarter and faster -- and now, I was being given the opportunity to prove as such. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

When I arrived to FLUXX nightclub in San Diego, I couldn't believe my eyes. The set of "Double Dare" looked exactly like it did on TV: The Nose Picker in all its glory. Down The Hatch. The Hamster Wheel. The Wringer!

Bursting with excitement, I headed backstage to change into my Blue Team outfit. I could barely stand still as they strapped on my helmet and knee and elbow pads. It was all becoming real.

My level of hype was already at a 10, but once I realized who I was prepping backstage with, it zoomed off the charts. Standing next to me was the cast from another one of my favorite Nick series, "All That." Joining me on the Blue Team was Miss "Vital Information" herself, Lori Beth Denberg, and Walter the Ear Boy, Josh Server. Gearing up for the Red Team was Danny Tamborelli from "Pete & Pete," and Kel Mitchell from "Kenan & Kel."

Be cool, I said to myself. Keep it together. As playful jabs of which team was going to win starting getting tossed around, I yelled to the Red Team, "We're going to push your shit in!" And everyone went silent. Apparently, nobody had seen "Training Day." Or if they had, didn't readily remember one of director Antoine Fuqua's most famous scenes from the movie. I wanted to die inside.

But then the stage producer said, "Hell yeah! This girl is pumped!" And everyone happily joined in on my over-the top level excitement. Server said, "Don't tone it down. It's Comic-Con! That's what it's all about." I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Now, I understood why people love Comic-Con so much. Everyone is an obsessed fan. No one is judging your nerdiness.

As die-hard "DD" viewers, we all knew things kicked off with an opening physical challenge to see which team would go first. Server and I nominated ourselves for the Wheel Barrel/Cherry in a Whip Cream Pie Challenge, and we won by "maybe a half a second," as Summers described the photo-finish ending. Bursting with pride, our team shared high-fives all around.

RELATED: Watch the entire ‘Walking Dead’ Comic-Con panel video here!

During the Trivia portion, things didn't go as well. When Summers asked, "How much does the Monday edition of The New York Times cost?" I told my team with serious confidence, "I got this." I knew this answer. Monday was my favorite day to buy the Times. As a Journalism major at New York University, and lover of the easy level crossword puzzle, I bought that exact paper nearly every week.

However, I forgot the fact that I had graduated college eight years ago. Summers announced my answer of "$1.25" as incorrect, and once again, I wanted to die inside. My team was understandably taken aback. I was so self-assured with my not even close wrong answer, and they dished out some well-deserved ribbing. But two seconds later they were like, "Brush it off! We'll get them with the next question."

Now, I don't know how things went down when kids played, but I was thanking my lucky stars to be doing this an adult, with such awesome other adults. During this one-time only revival, it truly didn't matter who won or lost. Why? Because we we're playing "Double Dare"! At Comic-Con! With Marc Summers! As cheesy as this sounds, we were already winning at life.

Personally, I felt I was able to redeem myself from my Trivia fail when our team stood on the brink of elimination, and I helped us win the final physical challenge. We got to run the entire final obstacle course, in which I got to jump down The Wringer, get covered in whipped cream and pass my flag on.

Competing in "Double Dare" was something for which I had been positive was an experience that passed me by decades ago. But thanks to Nickelodeon and the glorious event that is Comic-Con, I had one of the best nights of my life. Even though the Red Team was announced as the official winners, I received a congratulatory kiss on the cheek from teammate Lori Beth, and a bear hug from Server. Yep, childhood dreams do come true.

A “Game of Thrones” spinoff may be coming to HBO.

Casey Bloys, president of HBO programming, tells the TCA 2016 summer press tour that Season 8 will be the final season of “Game of Thrones,” but that the network and executive producers are “open to” spinoff ideas.

“[EPs David Benioff and D. B. Weiss] have a very specific plan about the number of seasons they want to do. If I could get them to do more, I would take 10 more seasons, but we take their lead and how they think they can do the best version of the show,” says Bloys. “We’ve talked about [a spinoff]. It’s something I’m not opposed to, but of course it has to make sense creatively … I’m open to it. The guys weren’t opposed to it, but there’s no concrete plans at this point.”

RELATED: ‘Game of Thrones’: Will Daenerys & Jon Snow team up in Season 7?

With that in mind, Zap2it has some ideas for this hypothetical spinoff. There are so many excellent supporting characters on “Game of Thrones,” that here are the characters we deem worthy of such a promotion.

Lyanna Mormont, Lady of Bear Island

She’s the fiercest kid to ever grace our TV screens. How did this young woman become so smart? When did she learn to be so diplomatic with her words that she is able to sway the vote in a room full of her elders with a “Braveheart” like speech? We want to know everything about her, and there are thousand of years of Mormont family history to draw upon. How exactly did she ascend to power? What was her family like?

The door would be open for cameos by her Uncle Jeor, Cousin Jorja and her “great warrior” of a mother. And there would be a lead up to the highly-anticipated — destined to be best friends and conquerers — meeting with Khaleesi (Emilia Clarke). Surpassing every Bechdel test, this moment would break the bar for badass female empowerment ever featured on TV.

Grey Worm and Missandei

These two have formed such a special relationship with each other, we want to know what their home life would be like once they help Khaleesi and company take over the Iron Throne. We’re picturing a half-hour reality sitcom like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s “The Newlyweds.” It could be the Westeros edition in which we watch former slaves Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) and Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) acclimate to their new luxurious life.

Brienne of Tarth, Tormund and Jaime Lannister

This love triangle is what dreams are made of!  A “Three’s Company” kind of sitcom that would have Brienne decide between The King Slayer and Wildling warrior. Coster-Waldeu discussed having a rom-com style spin off with Brienne to GQ, saying, “What would you call that? ‘Roommates?'” before deciding that “Heartslayer” is a more perfect title.

However, Hivju has also gone on the record suggesting a Brienne and Tormund focused series, and that unlikely pairing makes for a quite entertaining courtship. But all three characters together? TV gold.

Daario Naharsi

Daario (Michiel Huisman) has been left in charge of Mereen, and a “Thrones” style “Bachelor” type of show would be great for the handsome lothario as the most powerful man in the city who is now in need of a queen. But the special twist would be that the actor who originally played Daario — “Deadpool’s” Ed Skrein — would return.

Which Daario would the women of Mereen fall for? Who would the city recognize as their rightful king? It’s so much fun just imagining what this final rose ceremony would look like!

Neil deGrasse Tyson is largely considered one of the smarted brains on this planet for his ability to explain complicated matters of the world in ways that are both entertaining to listen to and easy to understand.

As the guy who can make discussing fuel cell water interesting (it tastes just like regular water!), Zap2it couldn’t wait to attend Tyson’s wine tasting party at National Geographic’s event at San Diego Comic-Con. As he drank a tall glass of iced water garnished with no less than five lime wedges in between drinks, we were surprised to discover that the entire signature cocktail menu that evening was concocted by Tyson himself.

RELATED: Mind blown: Neil deGrasse Tyson explains Leap Day

Of course, we shouldn’t be so surprised. There’s little that this neuroscientist can’t do. Tyson can explain why it’s easier to cook a souffle in space (zero gravity means it won’t collapse!) or why humans can’t stay awake forever (sleep is time required for the brain to solidify the information it wants to keep) can probably make a mean cocktail. And we can attest, Tyson knows his liquor!

Tyson’s drinks all have witty cosmic-related names, which we think makes them taste even better. Although there is no science behind that fact opinion, we stand by it. So, if you’re planning a party for Nat Geo’s highly anticipated upcoming show “Mars,” the Ron Howard and Brian Grazer executive produced mini-series premiering in November, which is going to be an out-of-this-world scripted series exploring the Red Planet, what better way to celebrate than making NDT approved cocktails?

Here are Zap2it’s three favorite drinks from the “Star Talk” host’s menu:

The Martian Sunrise

Developed with the bartender from the Bell House.

1 1/2 oz. rum

4 oz. cranberry juice

1 oz. orange juice

Lemon slice for garnish

Fill a highball glass with ice, coming ingredients. Prop lemon slice on the rim to to represent the sun.

The Robot Cocktail

Also, developed with the bartender from the Bell House.

A splash of soda water

1/2 glass of pineapple juice

3-count of Grand Marnier

Simply pour all the ingredients over ice in that order and drink up!

The Brain Freeze

Developed with help from Brian Ponce, partner at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

2 oz. vodka

A splash of triple sec

A splash of lime juice

A splash of cranberry juice

A splash of pineapple juice

Fill 2/3 of a tumbler with ice; add all the ingredient. Shake it up, then strain contents into a martini glass. Tyson suggest garnishing the beverage with a slice of lime to pay homage to the fact that there are no green stars.

On Monday (Aug. 1), JoJo Fletcher is going to pick the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Out of 26 suitors, this is the lucky guy that “The Bachelorette” picked to be her one and only. While this is usually a very exciting situation, audiences can already tell that this upcoming “After the Final Rose” special is doomed to deliver bad news. It’s safe to say that Cycle 12 of this long-running reality TV series did not find its next Trista and Ryan.

Unless our conspiracy theory regarding JoJo and Jordan Rodgers is correct, it seems the 25-year-old real estate developer has fallen in love with two of the most untrustworthy jerks when it comes to husband material.

Jordan so badly wants to be famous for doing nothing — you can see it in his eyes. Or his hair. Both being terrible attributes of the guy whose only redeeming quality is … well, we’ll get back to you on that.

Then there’s Robby. The walking and talking Ken doll who apparently broke up with his longtime girlfriend Hope Higginbotham after finding out he got cast on the show. While he denies this, and told JoJo he was over a four-year relationship after just three months, (excuse us, but no), viewers inherently can’t trust a word that comes out of this guy’s mouth.

However, Robby was able to talk his way into JoJo’s parents’ heart. Previews reveal Robby asking Mr. Fletcher permission to marry his daughter, an act that earns him Joseph and Soraya Fletcher’s approval over his competition, Jordan.

Actually, Fletcher’s family is not a fan at all of the not as famous or talented brother of Aaron Rodgers. JoJo’s mother meets him and immediately deems him as  “a player.” And the fact that he doesn’t ask permission to marry JoJo means that he was never planning to marry her in the first place, is something her parents and siblings felt was rude and disrespectful.

But honestly, it doesn’t matter what JoJo’s family thinks. In stereotypical rebellious daughter fashion, JoJo is going to pick Jordan regardless. And she’s going to have to learn the lesson of why it’s a waste of time and energy chasing guys who can’t commit the hard way. On national TV. In front of millions of viewers. Oh, JoJo.

During the “After the Final Rose” special, things will get even sadder. We assume that JoJo and Jordan are going to announce that they’ve already split, that the engagement is off. While we’re hoping to be wrong in this prediction, “Bachelorette” rumor whisperer Reality Steve supports this conclusion, as well.

Of course, they’re friends! Zap2it’s conspiracy theory is looking more and more accurate. And JoJo is predictably going to lament over whether or not she should’ve picked Robby instead. A question for which the answer is still an unequivocal no. Robby was the first to say “I love you” only because he’s been in a relationship for so long, he doesn’t remember how to date. Being single is a scary foreign aspect to him. He would’ve said “I love you” to any “Bachelorette” if it it enabled him to quickly fill the void of his ex.

So, grab the tissues and a bottle of wine. This season finale is going to be very difficult to watch. And the $80,000 Neil Lane diamond Life & Style reports the producers Jordan bought for JoJo in Thailand will most likely be returned.

“The Bachelorette” finale airs on Monday, Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The “After the Final Rose” special follows immediately afterwards.

On Sunday (July 31), the 2016 Teen Choice Awards will be airing live from The Forum theatre in Los Angeles, Calif.

The Teen Choice Awards is famous for being an all-fun and mostly silly ceremony that hands out surfboards for categories like Male and Female Hottie. But on Sunday (July. 31), the show slowed things down to recognize some of the very serious issues going on in the world.

After Justin Timberlake took the stage to give a motivational speech regarding choices and inclusion, Jessica Alba brought some reality to the Los Angeles Forum. The lights dimmed as the actress took the stage and introduced a group of kids who have lost relatives to gun violence.

During this Stop the Violence PSA, each teen was able to take a moment and honor their lost relatives from Newtown, San Bernardino, Sandy Hook and Orlando. Needless to say, the whole tribute was incredibly moving.

"Tonight we stand together with these teens," Alba says. "United for our call to peace and an end to this violence." Capping off her message, Ne-Yo took the stage to perform Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On?"

The entire presentation was a major tonal shift during what's typically a non-stop high energy awards show. But it was a welcome one. "These teens had the courage to come here and share their dream and take a stand," Alba says.

"We want you to stand up right now and take out your phones," Alba and Ne-Yo instructed the crowd. 'Yes, right now." Ne-Yo and Alba then told the audience to take pictures of all the teens standing on stage, and to share these photos on social media with the hashtag: #StoptheViolence.

Needless to say, this was a fantastic way to grab teen's attention, and use their social prowess for good. It's not every day we get powerful messages from the next generation. Maybe, Congress will take notice.

The moment of truth has finally arrived. On Monday (Aug. 1), Cycle 12 of “The Bachelorette” will come to a close and JoJo Fletcher will finally pick her future husband … or will she? We must wait and find out.

For now, Zap2it can only speculate as to which man the 25-year-old beauty — who was jilted during Ben Higgin’s “Bachelor” season — found love with. The answer lies with one of these final two contestants: Robby Hayes or Jordan Rodgers.

RELATED: Kristen Wiig as ‘The Bachelorette’ is truly a ‘Tonight Show’ gift

Both Robby and Jordan are handsome men that, from afar, could be mistaken for brothers. Tall and tan, with ridiculously coifed hair-dos, it’s clear JoJo has a type. And that type are run-of-the-mill men who are pretty to look at. Neither of these two have a job and both list their current occupation as “former athletes” — something that will stop being hilarious at some point, we’re just not sure when.

Seriously, how does one write down their current profession as being a “former” anything with a straight face? Le sigh …

While audiences will have to sit through the entire two hour finale before finding out which man JoJo ultimately picks, it honestly doesn’t matter. Either choice will probably leave “The Bachelorette” star heartbroken. For a full explanation as to why, click here.

All the men who truly seemed ready to commit to a relationship have already been given the boot. Audiences were pretty disappointed with JoJo after she sent Luke home last week.

While it’s understandably hard to fathom ever wanting to pass on this handsome war vet, he wasn’t the right match for JoJo. He’s too small-town. Luke’s a quiet farmer who enjoys life with his 50 best friends back home in rural Texas. JoJo’s too outgoing to ever be happy settling into that kind of lifestyle.

For that same reason, it seemed odd JoJo kept Chase the Robot around instead.

Therefore, it wasn’t surprising when JoJo decided to send Chase home early. She received a slew of fan backlash for blue-balling him minutes before entering the Fantasy Suite, but if JoJo is going to get ragged on for anything, it shouldn’t be for deciding not to have pity sex with Chase.

In the end, all signs point to JoJo picking Jordan. He earned the First Impression rose and has been a front-runner ever since. JoJo is clearly infatuated with him and unfortunately, Jordan is clearly infatuated with being famous. Zap2it has it’s own conspiracy theory about these two, but if JoJo is truly in love with him, she’s in for a world of hurt.

RELATED: ‘The Bachelorette’ fallout: Inside Jordan & Aaron Rodgers’ family feud

On the flipside, choosing Robby the Liar also looks to end terribly. It’s been so difficult watching JoJo narrow down her suitors to these two men. Jordan and Robby should be kissing the ground she walks on. JoJo is gorgeous, kind and funny – but they don’t seem to care about her.

It feels as if they’d give up a relationship with JoJo in a heartbeat if it meant the possibility of being named the next “Bachelor” star.  Side note: if you’re hoping and praying the next “Bachelor” will be either Luke or Chase, we’re sorry to say the odds are not in their favor.

After the finale episode, ABC will immediately air the “After the Final Rose” special, which we predict will be quite a dramatic hour of TV.  This sit-down will probably be filled with tears, culminating in JoJo and Jordan announcing their engagement is already off.

Plus Chad — this cycle’s big bad villain — is scheduled to make an appearance. And hey, if you’ve been missing the Chad Bear, don’t fret. He is starring in Tuesday’s premiere of “Bachelor in Paradise” along with numerous other men from JoJo’s season. Will Zap2it be watching? You can count your roses on it.

The finale of “The Bachelorette” airs on Monday, Aug. 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. The “After the Final Rose” begins right after, at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

The competition for the most insane male contestant on Season 4 of “Are You the One?” is a fierce battle. Just when viewers thought Asaf had it in the bag, out comes John with his extreme machismo and ridiculously glib views on life. And now here’s Gio, who after abruptly cutting things off with Kaylen, has jumped so far into the deep end of the crazy pool, we truly wonder if MTV did a psych evaluation before letting him onto the show.

While Gio’s antics must be driving every cast member to their breaking point, he’s a fascinating focal point for audiences at home. No one knows what going to come out of this kid’s mouth. How does he know Julia is his perfect match? “I’m the only person playing with my third eye,” Gio says. “[Julia and Stephen’s] souls don’t match.”

Well, that explains it, right? No one in the house can seem to get it through to Gio that Julia wants nothing to do with him. Not even Julia herself and she has definitely tried. Gio’s belief that Julia is his true soul mate is scary obsessive. He physically lashes out at anyone that steps to him.

However, as much as we hate to say it, there might be something to Gio’s self-proclaimed special third eye powers. Because matching people with who they are actually attracted to and connecting with doesn’t seem to be working out very well. The cast voted Victoria and Cam into the Truth Booth only to discover that they were not meant to be. Then during the evening’s match ceremony, other than the two couples already living in their honeymoon suites, the group only got two matches right.

That’s two matches out of eight, a pathetic stat to have this late in the game. So, while it’s well understood that Gio is off his rocker, especially since this deleted scene reveals that amidst all the obsessive Julia talk, Gio is also hitting up Francesca at night, he may actually be right — Julia could very well turn out to be his perfect match. And Stephen might be “a sheep in a wolf’s costume,” as Gio, says.

OK, we don’t actually agree with that last statement at all, but it is true that even if Julia doesn’t like Gio, and Gio knows nothing about Julia, the two could still technically be each other’s penguin based on whatever science MTV uses to decipher such a thing. It’s getting down to the wire, so this group may need to resort to drinking Gio’s Kool-Aid, and “respect the fucking Alpha” to have a chance of winning that $1 million prize.

“Are You the One?” airs on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

On Monday night (Aug. 1), the nation watched as JoJo Fletcher chose to spend the rest of her life with Jordan Rodgers over Robby Hayes on the season finale of “The Bachelorette.” JoJo had to physically keep Robby from going down to one knee as he professed his undying love to her, and cried, “I wish it was you!” as he walked down a trail of tears to his limo, to never been seen again. Well, at least not on ABC.

That’s because Robby is not going to be the next “Bachelor” star.

RELATED: ‘The Bachelorette’ fallout: Inside Jordan & Aaron Rodgers’ family feud

Sure an argument could be made for the 27-year-old from Jacksonville , Fla. He is handsome, wears his heart on his sleeve, and has domestic day dreams about accidentally burning the meatloaf and having to order pizza for the kids (his words, not ours). But there’s one glaring issue that may keep him from signing on to be “The Bachelor” next season. Based on swirling rumors, Robby will most likely not be America’s next “Bachelor” because he probably has no interest in dating 26 women.

Now, Robby’s sexuality is nobody’s business. In no way would this be to shame him. We’d love to see a “Bachelor” season that had 13 men and 13 women vying for his heart. But ABC is probably not quite ready to go there, yet. And Robby could definitely fill the “Bachelor” shoes with ease. This plum job would be his for the taking if audiences didn’t already think he was an untrustworthy liar (but that’s an entirely different story).

RELATED: ‘The Bachelorette’s’ ‘After the Final Rose’ will end in heartbreak

Since this is still technically a reality show, and audiences are supposed to believe everything happening on air is real, the main reason Robby may get overlooked is because of his questionable sexual orientation. Unless ABC switches up the basic format of the long running series, the “reality” part of the show goes straight out the window, assuming it was ever there before.

But didn’t Robby have an ex-girlfriend before the show? You know, the only that caused everyone to think he was a lying bastard in the first place? Yes. And there’s speculation that his sexuality is what caused their break-up in the first place.

According to an insider at OkHereisthesituation.com, Robby comes from a very wealthy family in Sarasota and the idea of him even being on the “The Bachelorette” was somewhat embarrassing for them. So while it may seem crazy in this day and age, his family might not be okay with their son’s maybe-not-straight sexual orientation. “They are the little country club style family, and even though he is of age and and still lives at home … ”

Wait, what? Robby still lives at home? Okay. So, if he were to come out against his parents wishes, he might fear that they would kick him out, or keep him from his inheritance, which if true, would be devastatingly sad. The insider goes on to say, “I questioned if he was gay the past few months after the only things that he would post were him and guys and a few pictures here and there of him an Hope. Maybe that’s why the broke up? Because she thought he was gay?”

We’re taking this with a grain of salt, but one look at Robby’s Instagram and it’s easy to see where this insider is coming from.

Then these modeling shots…

Then more dudes …

We aren’t trying to single Robby out. He is not the first , nor will he be the last, to have his sexuality questioned after being on this show. Out of the hundreds of contestants that have appeared on this series, it would be ridiculous to think every single one of them was straight. Nor would it even be an issue if the main purpose of the show wasn’t to believably match a man with a woman.

Either way, because of Robby’s messy situation with his ex, he’s already lost the trust of “Bachelor” fans, something for which producers will not be able to glaze over when considering their options. So even though Zap2it previously thought it was highly unlikely, with Robby being the runner-up, not Jordan, it appears the No. 1 front runner for the gig is now Luke.

The return of The Chad is finally upon us. Season 4 of “Bachelor in Paradise” kicks off on Tuesday (Aug. 2), giving the breakout star from JoJo Fletcher’s season of “The Bachelorette” the perfect chance to totally redeem himself. It’s prime time for the so-called villain to prove to all the naysayers that there’s more to him than the violent, meat-eating meathead he was portrayed as on “The Bachelorette.”

So, fans of the handsome jacked real estate agent from Oklahoma are going to devastated upon seeing the premiere of “Paradise.” In fact, for those gunning for Chad to be named the next star of “The Bachelor,” prepare for those hopes to be dashed, stomped upon, and crapped on … literally.

RELATED: Who’s the most desperate ‘Bachelorette’ send-off ever? Chad, of course

The 28-year-old shows up to “Paradise,” and is able to pull of the whole “I’m there to find love” thing for a total of five minutes. He chest bumps and talks “gains” with old buddy Daniel, then after awkward hellos with Grant and Evan, “Hurricane Chad” takes over.

Chad somehow manages to piss everyone off on the entire island before the sun sets on the very first day. And we mean everyone. From the Jorge the Bartender to host Chris Harrison. In fact, Chad tells Harrison to “fuck off,” a moment which no doubt had every viewer at home staring at the TV with their mouth agape.

If anything could nail the coffin in one’s chances to be the next “Bachelor,” it’s getting on Harrison’s bad side. And to bury that coffin six feet underground, proceeding to get so belligerently drunk that you can’t form coherent sentences and then you crap your pants, well … mission accomplished.

If only we were making this up, or pulling a storyline from Lifetime’s “UnReal.” Nope. Chad actually poops himself while laying unconsciously asleep on the ground. The next morning, Chad picks up his board shorts and gives them a whiff. Based on his grossed out reaction, any question as to whether he really crapped himself is answered.

Darn it, Chad. We know there’s a real human with a heart underneath all those muscles. And we know you lost your mother six months ago, and while that is understandably one of the worst situations a person can struggle through, in no way does it grant you a pass to act like a completely disrespectful jerk. He makes fun of Sarah, calls her “Arm-y-McArmy” (she has one arm), and tells her repeatedly to “suck a dick.”

RELATED: ‘Bachelorette’ conspiracy theory: JoJo & Jordan’s secret master plan

Before Chad finally blacks-out, he briefly has a hot-tub hook-up with Lace, a woman who’s perhaps the only other cast member from the ABC reality series that might be more crazy than him. But even she is able to keep herself together on the first night. Chad quickly ruins what could’ve been TV gold if that budding relationship took flight. It could have earned him an entire spin-off series: “Chad and Lace: Psychoes in Love.” Who wouldn’t watch that?

None of the women feel safe while Chad resides in “Paradise,” and Harrison is left with no choice but to promptly send him home. ABC was not kidding when they teased that Chad would not last long on this series.

The entire situation is both sad and hugely disappointing. Chad was the perfect reality TV show antihero. One of the most riveting original characters we’ve seen in a while. But it’s now apparent that this ridiculous act wasn’t just for “Bachelorette” ratings, or to promote himself as the next “Bachelor” star. A smarter man wouldn’t have gotten kicked off the first day. He would’ve milked this “Paradise” opportunity until he “got his heart broken,” putting himself in the golden seat to be the next “Bachelor.”

Why do you think ABC was waiting to make this huge announcement? “The Bachelor” position was Chad’s for the taking and he crapped all over it … literally.

“Bachelor in Paradise” airs on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Tuesday night’s (Aug. 2) premiere of “Bachelor in Paradise” stood out as a shining example of why it may be insane to sign on to do a reality show.

Chad joined the series in order to rehab his image, but instead fell victim to every trope in the book. He went H.A.M. on the open bar, subsequently blacked out and became the worst version of himself in front of millions of viewers.

RELATED: Chad goes to ‘Paradise’ and craps the bed … literally

After making out with Lace, Chad uses classy terms like: “fucking bitch” and “cunt.” Disgusted, Sarah Herron replies, “The way you’re talking about women is so disrespectful, I want nothing to do with it. Nothing.” But instead of taking the note, Chad finds it all hilarious.

So of course, he continues. “You’re a one-armed bitch,” he says to Sarah, before repeatedly telling her to “suck that dick.”

The next sober morning, when most people would be quick to apologize for such gross comments, Chad walked around like nothing happened. Sarah confronted him while somehow remaining cool, calm and collected.

“I think you were incredibly disrespectful last night,” she tells him. “And you said really horrible things to Lace, and about women and me.”

RELATED: Who’s the most desperate ‘Bachelorette’ send-off ever? Chad, of course

Taking the high road, Sarah offered an olive branch to Chad. Instead, he snapped it in two and tossed it into the proverbial fire. Instead of delivering any sort of apology, he stood by his sexist comments. “It’s a joke,” he says,” Can’t y’all take jokes?” Of course, they can take jokes, Chad — the jokes just have to be funny.

So, unsurprisingly, Tuesday night marked the end of King Chad’s reign in Bachelor Nation. He once was the bad boy everyone loved to hate. But now, it’s just hate. It wasn’t until that realization hit that Chad finally felt he may need to say sorry.

The eight second video he posted on Twitter is too little too late … for both his once fevered fans and, of course, for Sarah.

Continuing to discuss Chad only gives this bully what he wants: attention. If everyone keeps talking about the situation, it just adds more fuel to the fire. And Sarah realized this.

Mic. Dropped.

Chad is always yammering on and on about his “Dolla dolla billz, yall,” and now it’s time for him to put his money where his mouth is. It seems Sarah is willing to accept a long overdue apology if he donates to SheLift — her non-profit, whose main mission is to empower women.

While it’s yet to be seen if The Chad will donate, numerous fans have jumped to her site to donate money. And the silver lining appears …

The protein-packing meathead from Oklahoma still doesn’t get it, though. Soon after, he tweeted the same meme he first used while on “Bachelorette.”

Chad’s 15 minutes may just be up.

“Bachelor in Paradise” airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Only four minutes separated the winning team from a 2nd place finish on the Wednesday night (Aug. 3) finale of MTV’s “The Challenge: Rivals III.” There were moments that it appeared like Jenna and Vince might swipe the win from favorites Johnny Bananas and Sarah. But in the end, the latter was able to secure their well-earned 1st Place title.

The two dominated this entire season. Seeing the long time veterans — who were once sworn enemies — band together as champions was extremely satisfying to watch. So, all is happily ever after … right? Wrong.

RELATED: Is MTV hiding footage? ‘The Challenge’ kicks off Tony & Camila for no apparent reason

The major twist in this finale had each teammate competing with each other, as well. Even after 1st, 2nd (Vince and Jenna) and 3rd place (Devin and Cheyenne) was established, the person with the most individual points had to decide if he or she would keep all the prize money, or split it with their partner.

To make it this far in the competition, and finish such a grueling final challenge, it was apparent to both the audience and each competitor that they couldn’t have done this with out their partner’s help. Devin said he wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if he didn’t share the $25,000 reward money with Cheyenne. Vince had no qualms splitting the $50,000 prize with his sometimes ditzy, but overall well-abled partner, Jenna.

When host TJ Lavin announces that Bananas as his team’s winner, it made sense that he would follow suit and share the $275,000 prize money. For it’s unquestionable that without Sarah and her fierce physical and mental prowess, he would not be sitting pretty in the top spot.

But as Zap2it sadly predicted, Bananas wasn’t able to pass up the title of being “The Challenge’s” most winningest competitor ever. And he did just that. Bananas kept the entire $275,000 for himself, leaving Sarah with nothing … nada … zip.

Understandably, Sarah completely breaks down in tears — making it hard for anyone to applaud the newly titled “Rivals III” champion team. While Vince defends his cousin by reiterating the fact that it was well within Banana’s right to make such a choice, Team Princess couldn’t believe it. Devin especially was disgusted by the guy he never liked in the first place.

Along with becoming the richest “Challenge” winner in the show’s history, Bananas also earns the medal for making the most cutting, cold-blooded move ever. As Sarah continued to cry, Bananas defended himself, stating he’s not sure how many more seasons he’s got left in him, that he’s getting older and that it’s a life-changing amount of money.

Bananas claims the hatchet between them is still officially buried, and his difficult choice to keep all the money has nothing to do with their prior beef. But, it’s hard to believe him. This was Banana’s chance to finally get sweet revenge on Sarah. Even though, the only thing Sarah is at fault for is being able to play the “Challenge” game better than him.

By all accounts, Bananas does recognize that he couldn’t have won this season without Sarah. And in a statement that almost makes her projectile vomit, he tells her that she should be proud. That no one can take away the fact that she was still a champion on the winning team.

Can he not hear himself talking? As Sarah continued to cry her eyes out — lamenting about how much she was looking forward to attending grad school without debt and not having to work full time while getting a second degree — Bananas stands there awkwardly like a fool. Albeit, a very rich fool.

Tune in for what will definitely be an emotionally explosive after-show reunion on Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 11 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
