Top Secret: K. C. Undercover Would You Rather

If you’re all shaken up Shake it Up! is over, then you might need to check out Zendaya’s NEW Disney show that’s all the rage:  K.C. Undercover.

K. C. (played by Zendaya) is an undercover spy in a family of undercover spies who go on secret government missions. She is a 16-year-old math genius spy in training (who can rock incredibly dangerous looking 3-inch sneaker high heels)! Her brother Ernie is a socially awkward, but lovable computer expert. And the family receives a new addition of a 10-year-old robot sister Judy. We’re still learning whose side she’s on. It’s pretty hilarious. The stories have a nice mix of capturing the bad guy while balancing being a teenager. And I have to say I love all her outfits!

So for today’s mission, it’s your job to let us know:

Would You Rather . . .

1. Go undercover to your school dance and arrest your date (who’s a  bad guy spy!) OR go undercover into the football team locker room and arrest the sweaty but gorgeous star quarterback?
2. Be a spy like K. C. and her family OR be a ghost like on The Haunted Hathaways?
3. Live as a spy in Russia OR Brazil?
4. Have a secret gadget to listen in on people’s conversations OR secret gadget to make things explode by pressing a button?
5. Discover your parents are spies OR your parents are secretly rich and famous from being in a rock band in the 1990s?
6. Be able to dance like Zendaya in Shake It Up OR do action karate moves like Zendaya in K. C. Undercover?
7. Have a robot sister like Judy OR a real robot who obeys your every command?
8. Be a good spy OR an evil spy? (bwa ha ha ha)

Should you choose to complete this mission, leave your answers in the Comments below. And let us know what you think of Zendaya’s new show K. C. Undercover!

Girl Meets World Would You Rather

We recently interviewed Rowan Blanchard and Sabrina Carpenter from the Disney Channel show Girl Meets World, and judging from your Comments, we know you can’t get enough!

I used to love the show Boy Meets World  which featured Riley’s parents Corey and Topanga as kids, and now I love Girl Meets World just as much. It follows Corey and Topanga’s daughter, Riley who is in 7^th grade, and her best friend Maya. Riley is funky and artistic, but also very academic. Maya is more street-smart, pretty, and popular. Like Boy Meets World, it has a good story with a bit of a lesson at the end. Are you guys hooked? Then get ready to meet . . .Girl Meets World Would You Rather!

Inspired by the show, would you rather . . .

1. Have Riley OR Maya as your BFF? (Did you know they are actually BFFs in real life?)
2. Be a teacher like Corey OR a lawyer like Topanga?
3. Your secret admirer be the gorgeous Lucas OR super-smart-quirky-adorable Farkle?
4. Have a style makeover to become “harajuku” (cool, funky, Japanese-style trendy) like Riley in the “Girl Meets Popular” episode, OR vampire goth queen?
5. See an episode how Corey and Topanga got married OR an episode that shows Riley as a toddler?
6. Have to write your flaws on your forehead (like in the bullying episode “Girl Meets Flaws”) OR have someone announce them over the school loudspeaker?
7. Have your dad be your teacher (like Riley) OR your teacher be your next door neighbor?

We can’t wait to “meet” your answers in the Comments, so let us know what you think!

Halloween is an important holiday in the Harry Potter books. Have you ever noticed that important events always seem to happen in October in those books? Here are some memorable events from the Harry Potter books that took place in October along with a question for you to ponder:

1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: On October 31, a mountain troll attacks Hermione in the girl’s bathroom at Hogwarts. After Ron and Harry help her fight it, the 3 of them become inseparable friends. Would you rather fight a troll or a Dementor?
2. October 4 is Professor McGonagall’s birthday. Would you rather have Professor McGonagall as your head of house, or Professor Snape?
3. Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets: October 31 is Nearly Headless Nick’s 500th Deathday party. Also, the basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets petrifies Mrs. Norris. Would you rather have as your house mascot Nearly Headless Nick or the Bloody Baron?
4. Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban: On October 31, Sirius Black attacks the Fat Lady. Would you rather be a ghost flying around Hogwarts, or a person in a Hogwarts portrait?
5. October 17 is Professor Flitwick’s birthday. Would you rather take Charms or Transfiguration?
6. Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire: The Goblet of Fire chooses Harry as one of the Tri-Wizard champions on October 31. Would you rather be a participant in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, or just a spectator?

9. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: Harry has his second lesson with Professor Dumbledore sometime in October when he sees Dumbledore’s memory of going to meet Tom Riddle for the first time at the orphanage. Would you rather take Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape or Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons with Professor Quirrell?
10. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Lily and James Potter are killed on Halloween, but Voldemort lost most of his powers and there was much rejoicing in the wizarding world. There is no would you rather question for this. It’s too awful and I need to go have a little cry. Please excuse me. *sniff*
