That premiere? Rocked. And rolled. Around in bed. A lot. It’s like Dynasty and Dallas and every Jackie Collins book all rolled into one and updated to current plus Peter Krause and individual ringtones. I loved it! It’s totally trashalicious! Plus Peter Krause. My new dirtysexysecretpleasure.

In other news, Private Practice was just eh, which made me even more tentative about putting my faith in Shonda’s once-capable hands again. But I watched Grey’s and…I’m still on the fence. We do, however, get a SHaQ Attack winner this week! More later.

First, some Survivor MAC! I can pretty much sum it up like this. Todd? Hands down you have your head in this game better than anyone. Jean Robert? Dude, I hope you go home before your “I intentionally suck like a sloth as a strategy” strategy has any possible chance of playing out. And for the the love of god, keep your damn shirt on. But mostly, Dave? Don’t be such a passive aggressive condescending ass and feed your people, and maybe, just maybe, you’d win something. I’m not a big Ashley fan, but strength and strategy be damned, I’d love to send you home just because it would feel so damn good. You can roll your eyes and build all the mud brick bbq’s you want at sequester house.

But I don’t get my moment, and Ashley goes home, which, doesn’t break my heart either, but in this case, I think she was just the only one willing to stand up and call Dave out on his crap. She didn’t seem to have any problems with anyone else, and vice versa. Whereas everyone seemed to have issues with Dave. A shame they didn’t have stronger physical guys on their team, or maybe my wish would have come true. Everyone obviously was torn about the vote. But, her leaving probably made all the guys who have to do pixilation for this show very happy at having to do way less overtime in the editing booth. Still, I’m with Sherea (hard to believe I typed that) because so far? Not much fun. And definitely not enough James in this episode! More James!

Now, on to the fun stuff! SHaQ Attack this week asked you to guess which Grey’s character would utter the trademark “Seriously” first. Izzy and Meredith were neck and neck in the polls, but Cristina, George, Alec, and McDreamy all got votes, too.

I had (and have) my serious doubts about Grey’s this season after the strange, dreary, depressing as all hell trip Shonda took us on last year. I think the resounding cry for FUN echoed even in her ears and hopefully she’s listened (and I don’t even care if she said this was her plan all along. Riiiiiiight.) Anyway, my hopes perked up with the opening thirty seconds where we see the new residents get their own grunts. I especially loved Cristina’s “I already hate you, don’t suck up” and Karev’s private smile at ordering them around. Now, on to the rest of the show. Yeah, my love isn’t completely back yet. Shonda still needs to dig deeper to find her happy place. Where the men can all be hot, but the women? Yeah, why are they all so damn miserable all the time? It’s rather…telling, you know? However, McDreamy’s speech to McSteamy? Yeah, a tiny step in the right direction. FINALLY. Loved the “I need a friend” follow up as well. Baby steps….

But, I digress. Who said it first? Well, nobody! So everyone who entered a guess is up for the prize. The winning Blog Babe this week is…Sue Ahn! Woo hoo, Sue!!!

I hope everyone has a great and wonderful weekend. Tune in Monday for a new SHaQ Attack contest and another week of Fall Season MAC. Woot!
