Am I the only one who can't stand Oprah???

I never really thought of it, I do know I do not care for her show, and would rather watch Dr. Phil... lol, I agree with some of your points, but at least the money she gives is getting given to those who need it. Rich people like her need to save the world. She could easily do more than what she does now, as with all celebs, but she doesn't need to because she probably does more then a lot of other famous people, because she has the money. If that makes any sense.

Oprah is a very strong individual. She is also a kind woman. She helps others, and her show is entertaining, motivating, inspirational, and sometimes even funny. She is a leader, and is not afraid to be herself and say what she feels. I think she is great.

hi skinny! i don't really hate her, rather i wonder what makes her tick. and if ever, i would like to be like her, in the sense that i would like to have that influence. and the money wouldn't hurt too. anyway, i am not an american so i don't get to watch oprah often. but i know that she is very popular and her words counts for the many women in america. oh well, let us not just patronize her.

The last time I watched Oprah was when she interviewed Tom Cruise and first did a viewing for the audience of the movie "Interview With A Vampire", the way her and the audience over re-acted to the movie was enough to turn me off her for good. After hearing their responses I saw the movie and couldn't understand why she went on and on about how sick it made her and how upsetting it was. It was just over the top and no need for it. I'm over her "weight loss, weight gain" and I could care less who she is voting for or what books she's recommends. I would not have a problem if they canceled her show tomorrow. In fact what does keep it on the air?

I have to Say SkinnyC that I use to love to see Oprah and hear about her life. Through out the years however I have grown and began to see her as a different person. I do not waste my time with her any longer. But here is the thing. No matter how we may feel about her personally, she demands respect, All of those charities would be nothing with out her. Those children you are saying so what about see her as a Saint for giving them a chance to go to a proper school. WE WE can not belittle that. Nor can we take it away from them. Her money does so much good. This is just like mylot or anything else in life, if you don't like what you are watching, hearing, reading change the channel.

I can tell you that I am DEFINITELY NOT a big fan of Oprah. She makes so much money, she SHOULD be giving lots of it away. I can't say I hate her -- well, yes I can LOL! Oh well, call me mean. And, is she ever going to stay a stable weight? I know many people struggle with their weight, but she has talked about it so much, just get over it already. If she cannot be a size 5, she should be happy with the way she is and portray a positive attitude, and NOT where looks are concerned. We have enough issues with appearance as it is.

I thought I was the only one who hated Oprah. She's a snobby B****! She's a phoney and I really can't understand why people love her so much. I guess people are sheep.

I love Oprah! Her Big Give is awesome and gives all people an idea for how to "pay it forward" no matter how poor they might be. Think about it, everyone has 5 cents they can put in a charity jar at the grocery store or anyonce can carry their neighbors groceries. We must all do what we can.

You are preaching to the choir skinny chick! I have said that so many time, especially about the school. I have no problem with her wanting to help her own race, but I am sure she could have found a place for that school here in the states - New Orleans comes to mind! I watched one show where she had a "save money" guru telling all the little things to do to save money - like us living pay check to pay check don't already know, but he said the things like instaed of buying soda out of the vending machine at work, buy a 6-pack at the store for $2 and take a can with you every day. Well, duh! Tel me something I dont' already know! But he mentioned resuing things, like ziplock bags. I do that. Unless the bag had something liquid in it, I will rinse and reuse. But Oprah pops up and says "I do that!" Oh, give me a confounded break! I doubt she is ever in the kitchen much less knows where the cook keeps the ziplock bags! That turned me off to her completely. Am I to belive she makes her multi millions yet still reuses baggies? I think not. But it was just a put down to those of us that do, simply cause we have to out of necessity and common sense. No, I can't stand Homer Simpson, but I'd much rather watch him than Oprah! Makes more sense, and he is an idiot!

Wooo Whoooo! Oprah gets hers! And Ellen D. gave it to her!!! http://tv.yahoo.com/collections/4304

I don't like Oprah, never have, never will. I do like Dr. Phil though and I am glad he got his own show out of her. But no I don't watch Oprah nor have I ever nor will I ever. i think that might just be my own private he11. Being stuck in a room for all eternity surrounded by 1000 TVs with Oprah on every channel 24/7.

Wow, I'm not alone! Yeah, I can't stand Oprah either. I've had way more than enough of her holier than thou because I'm so rich attitude. There are much better shows to watch on tv than hers. I'll watch Dr. Phil any day of the week! At least he has good advice and can help people with their problems.

i dont like her either i only like her show cause they give out free good stuff i would totally go to the show for the free stuff.

i really cant stand Oprah either i feel that she is sooo fake and everything good she does she has planned out and gets back from that "good deed" 10 fold.. and i just really cant stand her at all. People fall victim to her fakness. i remember she gave out cars to everyone and everyone was upset because they couldnt afford to pay the tax.. and specially there was 1 couple that obviously got 2 cars and got screwed over twice as hard.

i am in between. i dont love her.. i dont hate her too. i think she is doing great for some. most american ladies really love her... right? i can just see how much they look up to her. its like a law when she says something. heheh :D

I like Oprah.

Don't worry, you are not alone. Every time there is Oprah on our TV I will change it to other sender.

Nope, you're definitely not the only one, skinny! I haven't ever liked her, frankly, and although it's not cool to say so, I'm saying so. I don't see the appeal. And she wields entirely too much power in the world with a voice that reaches millions and millions and I don't trust her as far as I could throw her! She's irresponsible with that power and puts things out there that she hasn't checked thoroughly enough into and has done some real harm, if you ask me, and you did, so there you have it.

Oprah has gone through a rough life and I applaud her for getting out of it what she has, but so have a lot of other people. She's done some good things with her money and notoriety and I respect that as well. That doesn't make her a goddess in my book. I don't really like her as a person, and I don't bow at the sight of her.

I suppose we all have our likes and dislikes. I must say that I havent seen her show very often - not enough to really make an opinion. I do not like the style ofher type of show so I tend to avoid them.
