THEN: It was her turn as Blair on "The Facts of Life" that made Lisa Whelchel a household name, garnering her three Best Young Actress Award nominations at the Young Artists Awards. During her "Facts of Life" run, she also appeared in "The Wild Women of Chastity Gulch" and "The Love Boat." When the series ended, so did Whelchel's acting career. Instead of continuing in Hollywood, she chose a more Christian-focused path. She married a pastor named Steven Cauble and had three children, whom she home-schooled. She also founded a support group called Mom Time Ministries.

Despite the fact that she played with integrity (and almost managed to avoid disclosing that she had been a child star), Whelchel lost the big prize. But just like Blair Warner, Whelchel proved to be the most popular girl on the island. While she lost the title of Sole Survivor to Denise Stapley, Whelchel did take home $100,000 for being voted Fan Favorite. less
