Ladies and gentlemen, The Renegades!

Dan Gheesling and Memphis Garrett took the Big Brother house by storm from the beginning, and the only thing up in the air last night was which would be given the symbolic final Head of Household title.

After Keesha Smith's “surprise” eviction, Dan pretends that he's pissed at Memphis, giving Jerry hope in the process. He goes a little bit overboard, but Jerry MacDonald doesn't really respond to subtlety.

It appeared to be work. The first part of the final HoH had Jerry, Memphis and Dan holding onto a fake plane. Jerry fell off early. The Renegade plan was for Memphis to fall next, and he did. Dan wins!

That set up a Jerry versus Memphis battle. It was a lopsided affair. The challenge was (while wearing boxing gloves) to knock down every hopeful except each week's HoH and final nominated houseguests. 

Memphis Garrett dreams of a Big Brother title.

Memphis absolutely thrashed Jerry to set up the final Head of Household competition, which turned out to be a moot point. 

Dan and Memphis were home free, but had to play it out. Dan and Memphis faced off. Dan was the victor and evicted Jerry.

The Renegades are the final two. Who will win $500K?

On this week's episode of America's Next Top Model, contestant Shenna was brought before the panel and asked about her breasts.

At first, she said they were real, despite skepticism on the part of the judges. A few minutes later, though, the guilt was eating Sheena up inside. She stepped forward and made the admission:

Her breasts were as phony as those of Heidi Montag.

When I first laid eyes on the girls, I was like, my god. I’ve never seen a more bizarre group of women in my life.

So says this show's host in the following clip from the premiere of Rock of Love Girls: Charm School. Other highlights?

Megan Hauserman says of Heather: "[She] shows up in a combination of a 80’s wrestler, superhero, like, comic book, ugly whore streetwalker bitch.”

What an amazing program. Watch the following video preview now:

Move over, Jason Mesnick.

Antonio Sabato Jr. is coming after your single women!

VH1 has picked up an untitled series that will follow the former The Bold and the Beautiful star as he searches for the ideal soulmate.

Reportedly, the show will be shot like a soap opera, featuring the actor's narration as he puts contestants through various challenges, such as re-creating a steamy love scene or skydiving in a gown.

VH1 programming/production exec VP Jeff Olde said Sabato is "the 'fantasy man' for many of our viewers, and now that fantasy can become a reality."

We just can't wait for Antonio Sabato Girls: Charm School.

She's already starred on two reality TV shows and debuted her own celebrity fashion line, Now Lauren Conrad is adding another title: Author.

The Hills star has been signed to write a three-book series of young adult fiction for publisher HarperCollins, news sources confirm.

The books – the first of which is due out in Summer 2009 – will be loosely inspired by Lauren Conrad's own experiences in real life.

"It's definitely influenced by my own life," LC said in an interview. "The books are about a girl who moves to Los Angeles and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities."

Jeffrey Ross is the latest comedian to try his hand - or feet, really - at Dancing with the Stars. This industry hasn't exactly fares as well on the show as those from the athletic fields.

Ross is aware of this and sounds like he just wants to have fun.

"I'm in the same competition now as a Grammy winner, an Emmy winner, an Oscar winner, a Super Bowl winner... I'm not really sure how I fit in," jokes Ross. "I still think I'm being punk'd a little bit."

He'll be partners with Edyta Sliwinska.

Matty Whitmore is a personal trainer.

The 29-year old California resident believes such physical strength will help him conquer all on Survivor: Gabon, though it will also likely make him a prime candidate for elimination.

''I think Matty will be one of the favorites this season, someone people will absolutely love," host Jeff Probst said. "I find him to be one of the most endearing guys we've ever had on the show to the point where it could work against him because he can't hide anything. If he's confused, he says, 'I'm confused.' If he's happy, he's smiling. If he's sad, he's crying.''

Bret Michaels is 0-2 in the reality TV relationship department.

On season one of Rock of Love, he offered his heart and soul - or at least his penis - to Jes Rickleff. But she rejected him cold, actually saying she already had a boyfriend.

“When Jes came back [for a season one reunion show] she said, ‘I have a boyfriend and I only did the show because I thought it would be fun,'” Michaels said in an interview this week with the Grand Junction Free Press.

“He didn't get jealous when we were on TV sucking face,” Michaels added.

Bret Michaels says: Bring on more babes!

Undettered, Michaels filmed Rock of Love 2 and selected Ambre Lake to be his soulmate. But that didn't work out, either.

Now, the rocker is ready for the show's third installment, Rock of Love Bus, which he says is a better representation of his life.

“I've never had a normal dating life. I was 18 when I left Pennsylvania and came to California in a van. I've pretty much been a nomad or a gypsy for six to seven months of my life a year,” Michaels said.

With only three contestants remaining on Big Brother 10, Reality TV Scoop's power rankings are probably a pretty pointless exercise by now.

However, having accurately predicted Dan's rise to the top - and the last two evictions of both Renny and Keesha - we're going for it again!

One of these three will win $500,000, and another $50,000.

3. Jerry MacDonald. Amazing run, but it's got to be over. Right? We've been saying it for weeks, but there are only three guys remaining, and two of them are allied. So it seems like a safe bet that Jerry's finally done.

2. Memphis Garrett. Memphis has schemed, conned, scratched and clawed his way to the finish. An impressive feat, to be sure, but we don't see him being viewed as favorably by the jury house. That means ...

1. Dan Gheesling. Our #1 for some time, Dan Gheesling seems headed for half a million, barring an unforseen catastrophe. He's played the game smarter and better from the beginning. What do you think?

Rumors of a Brody Jenner line of designer jeans turned out to be bogus - the cardboard, kung fu figure of Brody Jenner below is apparently just a prop for a competition in his upcoming reality show, Bromance ...

This is Brody Jenner shirtless. A cardboard knockoff, but a hot one!

Brody, whose dating resume includes Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari, has just started seeing Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole. Naturally.

Bromance will be about Brody's 183rd foray into reality TV, as he's starred on The Princes of Malibu and guested on The Hills and Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The man is a lifer, what can you say.
