By jala2bean What suprises me is how Sheg & the others that left the show say they wouldn't do it differently if they had it to do again.

By Jennifer_Brown Oprah Winfrey’s foray into reality TV has been all about spreading a giving attitude (and loads of cash) across America, as contestants compete over who can most creatively give away the most money. But according to one Boston-area mother of four, Oprah’s Big Give was a Big Steal…from her.

The part that concerned me was that she needed an hour of the group's limited time to deal with emotional issues with Rachael. There is a time and place to w...

Carlana came across as sincere and truly wanted to work as a team player. Rachael...

By love238 In my opinion, it seems that you have missed the point about why so many people were upset by Carlana's being cut. If there were unseen parts of the show, fine. That means that the editors are not properly representing the show. However, from what we were shown, Carlana was being steamrolled an...
