My 2001 Blazer just lost all power completely! Tried to jumpstart it and the interior and dash lights flashed for about 10 seconds and went dead again! What could be wrong?

If it is that , it's easily removed from just above the glove box. That apart the door, and interior, it's clipped into the plastic cover just above the interior. Couple of screws an you've got it.
something is completely draining your system at start-up, I believe that your starter is bad ( take it out and have it checked) or you have a real bad short or grounded wire that could possibly start a fire. A low, or almost dead battery can also cause this...take your battery cables off battery and clean anyway to insure good contact ( if aftermarket , even reassemble and clean cable to clamp connections) corrosion/resistance can be a thin film somethimes
Always clean the battery terminals before jumping. An extremely dead battery may not accept a jump as it serves as a 'buffer" instead of helping. If you do get it started, charge battery with a battery charger then have alternator and battery tested for proper operation and check belt condition and tension as well.
i had a 1996 s-10 Blazer that did that when the alternator went out...it overcharged the battery and boiled all the water out of it... i tried to make it home which turned out to be a big mistake.... battery then lost charge 5 miles from home... had to get a jumpstart.... 1 week later my transmission went out... it shifted electronically and with no battery power it didnt know which gear to use so it burnt itself up.... I kinda think the alternator warranty should have payed for the transmission
