We watched The Bachelorette all season as DeAnna Pappas whittled 25 men down to the final two: Jesse Csincsak and Jason Mesnick.

And while many thought Jesse to be an unlikely choice, the laid-back snowboarder from Colorado ultimately won the Southern belle's heart in the season finale.

The engaged couple spoke to Entertainment Weekly about their love ...

EW: What was your favorite moment of the show?
DeAnna Pappas: My engagement!
Jesse Csincsak: The second I proposed and she looked at me and said yes and I knew that I was going to spend the rest of my life with this woman.

EW: People always say big moments in life, like engagements, are often remembered as a blur. Any one thing that sticks out?
DeAnna Pappas: My favorite about that entire moment when he proposed to me is that nothing else around us mattered. Even though there were cameras everywhere, crew people, producers, nothing else mattered. It seriously felt like it was just the two of us.
Jesse Csincsak: Something that stands out to me that's funny is at the very end of last night's show when she goes, "I can't believe I am marrying the guy with the pink shoelaces!" That cracks me up.

EW: Now that the circus is over, what's on the agenda?
DeAnna Pappas: I think we're just focused on doing the normal stuff. We want to go to dinner, and we're dying just to go grocery shopping together. We just want to be in public together.

With New York Goes to Hollywood set to premiere on August 4, Tiffany Pollard needed to do something to call attention to herself and her reality TV show again.

Sorry, Tailor Made.

"New York broke it with a level of cruelty that only New York can give - and [Tailor Made] didn't take it well ... we were actually worried about him," a VH1 insider has revealed.

Is anyone shocked that Tiffany Pollard and Tailor Made didn't last? Will anyone be surprised when DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak fall to the same fate?

Tailor Made, whose real name is George Weisgerber, was chosen as Pollard's supposed soul mate on I Love New York 2. Shockingly, yet another reality television show relationship has now ended, in reportedly exciting fashion.

"It was very compelling video - so of course it will be included on New York Goes to Hollywood," the same source said of the break up.

Of course it will be.

The full cast of Big Brother 10 has been released.

As previously announced, a 75-year old grandfather named Jerry MacDonald is, indeed, on the program. So is Jessie Godderz, a bodybuilder from Huntington Beach, California. He's pictured below in his underwear. You're welcome, ladies.

Jessie Godderz is 22 and unashamed of his body.

Here's the rest of the Big Brother 10 cast:

• Michelle Costa, a single 28-year-old real estate agent from Cumberland, RI
• Steven Daigle, a single 35-year-old geographic consultant and gay rodeo competitor from Dallas, TX
• April Dowling, a single 30-year-old finance manager with obsessive-compulsive behaviors from Higley, AZ

Big Brother 10 premieres on July 13.

Christina Machamer has been crowned the winner of Hell's Kitchen.

In last night's fourth season finale, the 25-year old culinary student from St. Louis knocked off Louis Petrozza.

"Oh my goodness.  Holy f**king s**t!  I am like so happy on 10 different levels, I can't even explain it," said Christina after her victory. "I'm really happy.  It's almost like a fairy tale.  I guess it really does happen to people, even big goobers like me... Mostly what I'd like to say to Chef Ramsay is thank you for your faith and your trust in me."

Due to her win, Christina will serve as the executive chef of bossy Brit Gordon Ramsey's new Los Angeles restaurant, London West Hollywood.

We recently relayed a handful of Big Brother spoilers. Now, Entertainment Weekly delves further into the issue of age on the show's tenth season.

According to that magazine, a 75-year-old man will be among the new set of live-ins vying for the $500,000 cash prize this summer.

"It's the most diverse cast we've ever had in terms of ages, backgrounds, points of view, and personalities," executive producer Allison Grodner said. "Big Brother 9 involved couples, singles, and soul mates who were young, single, impulsive, and ready to party. We do a 180 with Big Brother 10.

The series premieres on July 13 and Grodner added:

"This summer you're going to find a 22-year-old body builder and a 75-year-old great-grandpa in the house, and everyone else in between. We've had diversity of age in past, but he's clearly the oldest contestant we've ever had."

... and we love Jennifer Toof!

With such reality mainstays as Toof and Pumkin reuniting on I Love Money, the Reality TV Scoop staff must respond in kind.

Therefore, here's a photo retrospective of the woman known as "Toastee." Click on each classic picture now for a larger version...

Just a year and a half after her own reality show victory, American Idol Jordin Sparks took to the stage of another competition show, So You Think You Can Dance.

This time, though, she came as a fan.

"[Katee and Joshua] did a routine to my song, "No Air," and it was crazy to see how they moved to it. It was beautiful and I totally saw the story. I got chills," Sparks told Us Weekly of the pair's June 11 performance. "I played it 100 times!"

On the season finale of The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas shocked America by choosing Jesse Csincsak over Jason Mesnick.

Heartbroken and shell-shocked, Jason headed home alone in his limo as DeAnna finally told Jesse how much she loved him.

Jesse Csincsak got down on one knee and asked DeAnna if she would spend forever with him and she happily accepted.

DeAnna Pappas chooses Jesse Csincsak as the winner of the fourth season of The Bachelorette, stunning America and Jason Mesnick.

Afterwards, Jason had the chance to confront DeAnna and the happy couple went public for the first time since The Bachelorette ended.
