Just like the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game

How it works, the person who answers before you will leave a pair of names/groups. It is your job to connect the first person to the second person, in SIX degrees or less.

Example:

Connect Donna D'errico to Joshua Jackson

1) Donna D'errico is married to Nikki Six

2) Nikki Six is a member of the band Motley Crue, And Tommy Lee is a member of the group too

3) Tommy Lee used to be married to Heather Locklear

4) Heather Locklear starred in Spin City with Charlie Sheen

5) Charlie Sheen is Emilio Estavez's brother

6) Emilio Estavez was the coach in the movie "The Mighty Ducks", which also starred Joshua Jackson

Now, I take the person I connected TOO (joshua Jackson) and come up with another name to connect to (Madonna)

The person who goes next will connect Joshua Jackson to Madonna. Then they will challenge the next person to connect Madonna to (for example) Tom Hanks

And so on...
-----
Example 2
Something to remember, The person you CONNECTED TO is the person you challenge someone to CONNECT FROM.

First Person - Does "A" to "B", Challenges next person to do "B" (same B as before) to "C"
Second Person - Shows the connections between "B" and "C". Challenges next person to do "C" (same C as before) to "M"
Third Person - Shows the connections between "C" and "M". Challenges next person to do "M" (same M as before) to "X"
Fourth Person - Shows connection between "M" to "X", challenges next person to do "X" to "J"
and so on

-----
Restrictions:
1) The connections must be true, and common knowledge. It cannot be based on Gossip or Assumptions

2) All people used to connect, or show show connections must be famous and/or well known. So no "family friends" or stuff like that.

Ready?
