"I think that little girl, Honey Boo Boo, is like Shirley Temple," Rosie says.

"She has a presence and an intellect that goes way beyond her years. Some of the things she says and comes up with, I dunno…"

And it's not just Honey Boo Boo that has captured Rosie's heart — she loves the whole family!

"I love Mama June. I love Sugar Bear. I love Chubbs…I love 'em all," she says.

"I love Smoochie! Look at Mama, Smoochie!" Rosie jokes, pretending to be June. "Look at the judges."
