Hope everyone had a wild and wonderful holiday weekend. Today is the first day of school here in my home town and for the first time in 20 years, I didn’t have anyone to send out the door! So weird!

I did get to watch Big Brother on Sunday - not nearly as satisfying as last Thursday. I wanted Dan to win the HoH, but noooo, it was Jerry. The only one I really wanted gone. Kinda hard to do that when he’s the HoH now isn’t it? Which means one of the Final 4, or what was supposed to be the Final 4, will leave a week early. I was kind of looking forward to the Memphis/Dan vs Keesha/Renny week. Now we get PeePaw hanging around another week to bore them silly with his long stories. (Feed viewers apparently were entertained by his story of hiring a Korean hooker for a month while in the service. Way to make your family proud, JerBear. Mention that on camera and then go into great detail on how great it was. You gotta wonder.) Btw, he puts up Dan and Keesha.

So, being a feed recap reader, I know who wins POV and what happens on the block, but in the interest of not spoiling anyone, I’ll wait until tomorrow after the official airing tonight. Regardless, it’s gonna be an interesting week.

Now for the SHaQ Attack contest! As of this fall, with the release of To All A Good Night, I will have been involved in three Christmas theme anthologies. Name all three and you’ll be in the running for a free book. Just send an email to donna@donnakauffman.com with “Dear Santa…” in the subject line and the title of the three books in the email. Winner announced Friday! Good luck!

Only a few more weeks until the fall season kicks in and we have fun stuff to dish about. In the meantime, who’s your odds on fave to win Big Bro? (Dan or Memphis for me.) Who would you like to see depart next on Project Runway? (Buh bye, Kenley please.) Oh, and this week launches Bravo’s second season of their interior design reality series, Top Design, with Todd Oldham. I’m tuning in!
