Happy Tuesday, everyone. :)

SHaQ Attack Friday!

This week I asked you what company my Black Sheep guys worked for. The answer is Trinity, Inc. This week’s winning Blog Babe is….Jordan G!! Tune in again next week for another round. :)

So, I did watch Dance and thought it was a really good week for most of the couples. LOVE the new pairing of Pasha and Sara. Wow. I agreed with the bottom three this week (Anya/Danny, Cedric/Shauna, and yes, even Hok/Jamie.) Thank goodness they sent home Cedric, it was more than time for him to go and he was obviously fine with that. Not sure which girl I’d have sent, but as I’ve never really connected with Shauna — not sure if that’s her fault or her partner’s — I wasn’t too choked up about that either.

Looking forward to next week and the final 6 couples!!

Oh yeah - what’s up with Nigel’s hair? As someone on Television Without Pity said, it’s like it’s on its own emotional journey this season. Yikes.

See you all Monday. Have a great weekend!

SHaQ Attack!

This week’s SHaQ Attack contest question is: Tell me the name of the company run by the three heroes in my upcoming Black Sheep series.

Send entries to donna@donnakauffman.com with I got it! in the subject line. Winner will be announced on Friday.

Yay, Roger Federer on winning your 5th straight Wimbledon and 11th overall slam title! What a match that was!!

About that Big Brother MAC… There is WAY too much show, what with three nights a week, and all the nightly footage for those who want to play voyeur - which has the added angle of revealing who wins what and who is nominated way before it airs. It’s just too much to MAC, and I doubt I’m going to follow it much more than an occasional peek on the weeknight episodes.

But we do get our Dance show back this week!! Woo hoo!

I’m going to be out of town this week, visiting family. So no MAC recap this week, but that will return next week. Yay!

I will be back to announce the SHaQ winner on Friday. Have a great week everyone!

Aaaaand, here we go

Sorry about the delay.

First up, yesterday’s SHaQ Attack contest result. The question was: What village do the Chisholm brothers call home. The answer is Glenbuie. This week’s winner is Rebecca N! Woo hoo!!!

Tune in next week for a new contest.

Now, for some Big Brother MAC. Hmmm… I can say I’m happy that it’s not All Stars and we get all new faces. Not sure I’m loving the faces we’re getting, but time will tell.

The house is very Alice in Wonderland, with a bedroom full of oversized furniture and a bedroom full of tiny furniture, and lots of mirrors in all shapes and colors of glass. And topiary. Let’s not forget the topiary.

We meet 11 of our hamsters and into their cage they go. Then we discover there are 3 additional hamsters already in the house in a room upstairs. This would be this season’s Big Twist. Which is all about trapping three of the poor, poor hamsters with someone from their past they aren’t particularly anxious to ever see again.

First up we get Joe and Dustin, who were a couple until Dustin gave Joe the clap and Joe systematically destroyed all of Dustin’s friendships. Yes. Lovely couple.

Next we get Jessica and Carol, who, as far as I can tell, were some kind of high school rivals but have been in college for several years now and…well, I don’t really get it, but whatever.

Lastly, however, we have a father and his estranged daughter. Not real keen on this being played out against their knowledge on reality tv. I mean, the other two pairs can walk away and never see each other again, but this is messing with family. So, no, not really enthused by this pairing. Less so when we meet waiflike daughter Danielle and her Tommy Lee-slash-Keith Richards dad, who goes by the lovely moniker (which he invites you to use) Evil Dick.

It’s too easy. I can’t go there.

So, it’s early yet. I don’t know most of them. Maybe when it narrows down. And oh yeah, the extra three hours a night on Showtime? My god, who has the time to watch that? It’s not an edited program, it’s just the cameras on the house hammies as they interact. It’s interesting for like five minutes, especially as it’s unedited and uncensored, so you get a definite idea of what each hammy is like. Maybe when there are fewer and the strategy kicks in, it will be worth skimming.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend! I’ll be back Tuesday morning with a new SHaQ Attack contest. And Dance is back next week - woot!

SHaQ Attack and a little MAC

….tomorrow!

I was called into work on an emergency - will announce winner and some Big Brother MAC tomorrow!!

No MINI parade pics (sorry to say - it was either be in it, or take pictures of it. You can guess which way I went!) I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th!

So, tonight is the launch of this summer’s Big Brother. I guess we’ll have to see if it’s MAC-able. Not only is it on a gazillion nights a week, but they’ve added a three hour Big Brother After Dark slot on ShowtimeToo on Monday nights where they can show all the racy stuff they can’t put on network tv. I’m not sure my eyes are up to that. God only knows what else goes on in that house! I’ll let you know more in tomorrow’s blog.

Don’t forget to enter this week’s SHaQ Attack contest. Details in Monday’s blog post. Winner announced in tomorrow morning’s blog!

Happy TGIF-eve. :)

My MINI

Some of you wrote to ask about my new little ride. Well, it wasn’t planned, but since I had to buy a new car, I figured I wanted to find a way to resent that new payment every month a little less. So, okay, the payment is a little more now than I wanted, but I don’t so much mind when I get to tool around in a MINI Cooper.

Btw, I happen to be a big Hello Kitty fan. Long story. But it explains my new plates, which read: ‘ELO KTTY. All my co-workers sing ” ‘ello Kitty!” in their finest English accent whenever they see it now. I love it! Now if I could just find a huge Hello Kitty decal for the white roof.. Hmm……

MINI!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July tomorrow, everyone! The blog will return on Thursday. Don’t forget to enter this week’s SHaQ Attack contest. All the details are in Monday’s blog post.

Happy Holiday!!

SHaQ Attack Monday!

Time for another SHaQ Attack contest!

This week’s question is: What village do the Chisholm brothers call home?

I know, a bit more challenging, but doable!

Send your answers to donna@donnakauffman.com with “I love the lads” in the subject line. I’ll pick one winner from the correct answers and announce it in Friday’s blog. Winning Blog Babe gets the book of choice from my website bookshelf. Happy hunting!

No Dance show this week. Sob! But Big Brother does premiere. With an Alice in Wonderland theme! It’s on too many nights a week to blog it all, but it might show up as the occasional end-of-week MAC. We’ll have to see if it’s bloggable.

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July! I’m going to be in a parade with my new MINI Cooper. How hilarious is that? If there are photos involved, I’ll be sure to post a few. :)
