It took three seasons, but America was finally treated to its first-ever million dollar champion on Deal or No Deal.

The winner? 27-year-old Jessica Robinson. This pregnant stay-at-home mom - sorry, Bristol Palin, you're not the only famous pregnant person in the news this week - earned the honor (and the wads of cash that came along with it) on last night's show.

Robinson is from Sandee, Utah, native and is expecting a boy at the end of September.

"All along I knew I wanted to pick briefcase number four because there's soon going to be four people in our family. It just made sense," she told People Magazine.

The best part about winning?

"[The] peace of mind... I'm a stay-at-home mom and I know I contribute to my family, but there are times I feel I don't contribute because I'm not getting a paycheck, and at the end of the day, I'm the spender," Jessica said. "This will take the burden off [of my husband] being the breadwinner and taking care of us."

We thought after the double elimination, this was a done deal.

Just when we counted Jerry MacDonald out and anointed Dan Gheesling some sort of Big Brother god, the tables turned Sunday night.

This is why Big Brother 10 has been a must-see from the start.

A healthy and generally normal 75-year-old, Jerry is still a loose cannon of sorts, though this may have nothing to do with age. He may just be wily, unpredictable and cagy enough to win this thing.

HoH competition time. Dan had the early lead, but Jerry came back. It wasn't perfect, but Jerry played the trivia game well enough to win.

Memphis Garrett, under the radar, is trying to position himself to get Keesha or Dan (our prohibitive favorite) to take him to the final two, if that situation comes. Memphis says he'd take Keesha to the final two over Dan.

We have no problem with Lance Bass appearing on Dancing with the Stars.

But, like partner Lacey Schimmer, he should be on the professional side, not the celebrity side!

After all, Bass is best known for his days in a boy band, which consisted of non-stop singing and - wait for it! - dancing. We just hope the judges at least raise their expectations for this seaon seven contestant.

As for the routine Lance is most looking foward to this fall?

"I'm really excited to do the paso doble. That's my favorite to watch because it's so intense and passionate – and you get to use a cape!"

Kelly Czarnecki is hot!

And we don't just mean this 22-year old's look; though, as you can see below, the retail saleswoman from Illinois is absolutely gorgeous.

But Kelly describes herself as a "burst of sunshine," based on her optimistic, friendly demeanor. Jeff Probst sort of agrees, but the show's host focuses on another aspect of this Survivor: Gabon contestan't personality.

''The way I would describe Kelly is that she is part of the Text Message Generation," Probst told Entertainment Weekly. "And she speaks that way, she'll say, 'OMG!' for 'Oh, my God!' That's Kelly. And just as a grown man looking at her I could say, 'That's charming, she's young and has her whole life ahead of her.' But as a tribemate I'd probably say, 'If she says OMG, I'll probably say GTFOH.''

The word "documentary" sounds quite fancy. In reality, though, former Rock of Love contestant Angelique Morgan is just getting naked again.

The reality TV star has landed a cameo in Stripped, an upcoming movie that chronicles the making-of photographer Greg Friedler's new book, Naked Las Vegas.

You can see Angelique Morgan nude in a new documentary.

In the film, director David Palmer attempts to present viewers with an even playing field of beauty. Overall, 173 people took off their clothes and were interviewed for the movie. Palmer is hoping the movies can be accepted into the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.

There's no truth to the rumor that 169 of these individuals were Rock of Love competitors, though Daisy De La Hoya and Kristy Joe Muller likely would have been happy to participate.

There was a power shift on last night's I Love Money. As well as a gross scene that involved Brandi C. and Megan Hauserman giving The Entertainer a rub down.

These two stooped to such a leve in order to convince The Entertainer to vote off Heather Chadwell. Minutes later, whether it was the massage or the lack of trust he felt for Heather, this was the end result.

Heather was given the heave ho and viewers woke up on Labor Day wondering how this will affect next week's competition.

Did Heather Chadwell deserve to be voted out of I Love Money?
