People get a grip. Everything advertised is not something you may need to have or buy just because anyone said it. Do you ever write to Glamour, Elle or Vogue and tell them to stop advertising outrageously priced, ugly "coutoure" clothing? NO!
This is a fun show and the people that watch it or even are lucky enough to receive the gifts, do so for the fun of it all. Take it for what its worth. Its just a show.
To use this as another excuse to bash this woman about who "you" think she should help and spout more racist generalizations ( help her poor black brothers and sisters), as if only blacks are poor, is more stupid and ignorant than what you think about the show.
Get a life and stop obsessing over Oprah's.

Alish do you actually know what the word shallow means? I don't think you do. Shallow are the kind of people that watch Oprah's shows (most likely you do too) and really think you need a refrigerator with built-in tv to feel alive. Like 2:23 PM Anonymous Says: This woman has lost all touch with reality. Again, what the **** does being generous have to do with showing off how rich you are? Do you really think most people in the US can afford these kind of useless crap? Then what's the point in making shows like this other than making shallow people like you happy with their empty lives? But you just keep on cheering and clapping for her behind your tv. ------------12:33 PM Anonymous Says:
Black People Are NOT the only ones dying and in need... ("she could give that money to her poor black bros and sisters who are dying in the ghettos")----------No, but if they have to wait on white people to help them, they would have died a long time ago.

The audience always look like a bunch of hungry fish waiting for the next feeding on top of the fishtank during these giveaways.

Black People Are NOT the only ones dying and in need... ("she could give that money to her poor black bros and sisters who are dying in the ghettos") <--- how politically INCORRECT!

Why whould she give free gifts to people who are already rich enough to afford a ticket for her show, what is generous about that? Instead, she could give that money to her poor black bros and sisters who are dying in the ghettos.
And for the record, genuine generous people don't show on tv how generous they are, they keep it for theirselves. Watching Oprah, i can't get rid of the idea that she does these kind of things just to boost her ego. It's actually sad to see.

i know so many handsome guys are her fans. and why not she join the site like sugarmommymeet where many cool guys are waiting for wealthy and attractive women to date

Her list should be renamed "Oprahs' favorite things for the people who are rich enough to waste a whole lot of money on needless crap".

why not me too???

oops, i totally agree with 3:08...about 2:45.

also, yes it does make you feel sorry for all the people who can't afford to have a good holiday.

When (like Oprah) you have more money than God....of course you can afford expensive toys. My thoughts go out to all those across the country who will not have a good holiday because they don't have the money. Why not do a feature about the have nots for a change?

Thats why its called OPRAH's favorite things and not JAN's...

Leah apparently needs something up her a$$. No wonder she's whining.

What do I think? I think Oprah can shove that sh!t, all of it, including the refrigerator up her BIG FAT A$$.

Next question.

A $6.50 cupcake?
A $14 bar of soap?
A $4,000 refrigerator?
Super ugly $194 sailor pants?
Cleaning supplies?!
UGGS?!

This is certainly not a list of my favorite things.

Doesn't Oprah get this stuff free from the manufacturers?
