I'll probably have to wait months to see that in Australia, if we get it at all.
I love Oprah.. so down to earth and generous, hard to believe she grew up in poverty.. but then I guess that's why she's so generous, knows exactly what it's like to live without.
One day I hope to be able to give big... right now I could do with someone giving big to me... all I need is $25,000 to pay off my credit card debt LOL.

I've seen the show once even though I don't like reality TV. Some people are interesting but the show gets a little tired towards the end. The judging is really entertaining unless someone did something stupid, but it's a nice show and a great idea. I watched mainly because of Oprah and she's barely in it, but I look the show and will probably watch it occasionally. But I could never be able to do what some these people have. They only get a few thousand dollars and two guys, maybe three, teamed up and raised over a hundred grand for a single mom to get or keep her house. If I were on the show, I wouldn't think to do anything but give all the money I got to someone needy. I'm not really creative, I guess. The show humbles you a bit and kind of makes you feel like a jerk if you don't donate a lot.

It does get slow at points... i dont like the judging part. But it is pretty unbelivable. I cant believe half the stuff these people are able to do. Its pretty crazy.

That reminded me of a documentary on tv where they gave this homeless guy like 10,000 dollars and he ended up spending it right away but it was an experiment I guess and thats all it should of been, because obviously it takes a knowledgeable person to know how to manage their money wisely, tons of people end up spending more money, (often money they do not have through credit cards), when their pay goes higher.

I've watched it each week that it's been on. My two favorite people Carlana and Shaq have been eliminated now. I'm auditioning for the show next year if it's on again. I think I could do better than some people on the show regaurdless, and in fact in some cases, because of my disability.

There ones only one guy that got kicked off that i thought should have stayed. Everyone else i thought it was there time to go.
I hope you do good in the audition, and get it. I wish i could audition, but i wouldn't be able to go and do it, if i got it.

No I do not like it.
Not interested in most things she does.
She is a typical very self-serving celebrity.
This show is all hype and very little substance.
It's a rip-off of a show from Britain.
She's just doing it for publicity.
She has done similar things for publicity.
Like the mess she left in Africa with the
schools for girls. She comes in squawking
and then leaves a mess behind after she
gets her publicity footage and sound-bytes.

I think the show is doing a good thing. It has helped many people out there that need it. But we all have our Opinions.

I haven't seen her new show. I watch her daytime talk show ocassionally. So as yet have no opinion. As far as big gives,my husband has lent friends and family money. We have lent out our car, and alot of smaller things as well. Sometimes the smaller things add up to big ones.
