I apologize for not posting the latest news from the overnight... that will be coming soon.
But I have news. Big news. News so big, I should probably use a larger font.
I've accepted a paying blog position with the folks at TV Squad. Right now, I'll be writing feeds wrap-ups perhaps three times a week, some Big Brother episode recaps/reviews for them.
What does that mean for this blog? Well, there will be a few changes - a lot will go on as it has been. This won't affect reviews of any other shows I write about, or Newsy Bits, or the community here on the whole. It does mean that reviews I write for them will be in a synopsis form here (and linked). The content I write about the show there isn't going to be duplicated here and vice versa. They're giving me leeway to post about the show in this blog, but it's going to be different from what I write for them. Here, the tomfoolery and @@ will remain!
At the moment, there's a lot going on and it's all new to me (and them), but in time we'll get it all worked out. I'm very excited to make the ranks of "professional blogger" and it's all due to the folks who have supported me in my endeavors over the past few years. Thank you... and you know you guys rock!
To read my first posted article there, check this out (and feel free to comment!). In addition, for the folks who used the AOL TV Big Brother feature to get here, this blog's feeds will no longer be posted there... but I have my own little box for the TV Squad articles!

WAY TO GO!!!! I'm very happy for you. :) I hope it leads to even greater things for you.
I have to admit, I was perplexed about what could have happened to you this morning. I'm happy it was good stuff.

This is the 3rd year that I've been following your blog. It's gotten to the point that I watch the show only so because I enjoy your blog so much.
I guess good guys do not always finish last. Good for you.
Well done Jackie! I've been a longtime reader of TVSquad (as well as your blog of course) and have always felt that their Big Brother coverage has been lacking. I know you'll make us all proud.
Felicitations, Jackie!
Very happy for you!
Awesome Jackie! Now you get paid to watch and comment on TV! I'm so jealous. My only excuse for watching TV is that I'm lazy ;)
Congrats Jackie! :) I'm so happy you are finally going to get paid for this!! Doing what you love AND getting paid, you cannot be that! :) Keep up the good work. Love ya!
HOORAY JACKIE!!! I'm like Terry in CA... I feel like a proud mama who just watched her baby go out into the world for the first time.
Now I know that you've been writing all along and this is your background, but this is phenomenal stuff!
Can't wait to talk about it in NY when we all get to meet.
Best of the Best Jackie!!!
No....YOU rock,girl! So happy for you. We all are a very happy little family who have watched you just get better and bigger. Your following is getting huge and just happy we can say....we knew her when......lol. Best of luck in the new gig,but they'd better not steal you away from us!!
That is really awesome news, Jackie! I've been reading this blog year-round ever since you had a friend connection with BB, so that's 2-3 years now at least, right? I went to the link you posted for TV Squad, but hey, if you don't mind, could you go ahead and post the link here each day or put one on your sidebar so it's easy to find? I don't want to miss out on things you have to say.
Debbie
Congratulations, Jackie. You deserve it. I look forward to each of your blogs
CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS! U soooooooo deserve it!!!! :)
Congrats Jackie... I started with you at AOL, and don't comment here... but I do read and I am really happy for you!
best of luck!
Congratulations Jackie! The "job" couldn't have gone to a more deserving person. Eileen
Well now we can say, "We knew you when!!!"
Congratulations...did you seek this or did they hunt you down because of your excellent work? Bit of humor! Huge WAY TO GO
YOU GO JACKIE!!!
Very well-derserved, you are a pro, and somebody took notice! I'm so happy for you! --Grove
WOO HOO JACKIE!!! Congratulations. That's teriffic news!
I've thougth more than once about the time and dedication you put into this blog year round... I have not heard you couldn't post cuz you went on vacation or were sick or just wanted a night or two off. It is THAT, and your wit and unique point of view along with many other qualities that got you where you are. So glad someone has snagged you and is going to pay you for your talents. I'm sure it's just the first of many more good and great things to come!
Congratulations! I read this:
"They're giving me leeway to post about the show in this blog, but it's going to be different from what I write for them. Here, the tomfoolery and @@ will remain! "
and it made me think of David Letterman...when he left NBC for CBS and had to not use 'stupid tricks'. Will you come up with something besides the @@ at that other place? I'll visit you there, as well as here. I was on your AOL BB board way back and followed you here. Best Wishes! Sue
Hey, getting paid for what you love to do ... Priceless!
Congrats.
Way to go Jackie! Great news.
I am so happy for you Jackie!
You do an outstanding job and I am so happy that this has happened for you.
Just remember us little people when you become famous - he he he
Keep up the super-duper work - we love it - and could never watch the reality shows without you.
Nancy
Jackie - I will continue my prior post . . .
I found you and your blogging/posting a couple of years ago while you were doing this after having knee surgery.
You were so nice and would always respond when I had a question or comment.
It is so nice to know that good things happen to great people!
Thanks again for all of your hard work,
Nancy
