Matthew wishes he would have been in the audience for the first show of Oprah’s last season, as all 300 guests will get to accompany her on a trip to Australia. For a second I was bummed too. Then I saw the video:

I’m not bummed anymore! 😉
Very cool giveaway, though!

[...] Am I the only one dying to know how Oprah decided to decorate the aircraft? Are the barf bags filled with homemade muffins? Is John Travolta hiding in the overhead bins? Are there free tickets to Auuuuuustrallllllia in the seatback pockets? And hopefully her message doesn’t bring the audience passengers to tears. [...]
Hey look, I found the one rational person in the audience! http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8pjdwFl591qdfuiwo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1284706763&Signature=UrBjeTVwpXnxQEUCOJeI3fTj0i0%3D "Dear Lord, save me!"
@MS "I mean is a trip to Australia really worth all of that crying, hysteria, the madness?" Of course it is, Australia is awesome :P "Terms and Conditions" = QFT

"We are GOING to AU-STRA-LIA" in her man voice = priceless. I'd never want to be stuck on a plane with those nutjob moms on a trip with the big African queen.
After watching that video, I'm inclined to agree with you...
@MS I completely agree. I went to SYD for $740 r/t from DEN. I also got the miles, and made 1P, and I'll be 1K next time I go.. Interesting reactions from the crown.
Is Travolta going to fly everyone there in his 707? Dear Lord...
OMG. I cannot imagine having to spend 15 hours on that flight.
@MS - it's a different world for these folks. They are drinking the Oprah Koolaid and to them, it's all about the experience, not just the destination.
I hope that they all consult their tax adviser. This prize is a taxable event. (just like the car Oprah "gifted")
MS, it's not the trip to Australia. The audience members would be happy to fly to any sh!thole with Oprah.
I am always amused at how absolutely apes**t the audience gets whenever the queen tosses them a giveaway. I mean is a trip to Australia really worth all of that crying, hysteria, the madness? Airfares were going for under a grand this year, and you can certainly find a hotel to fit any budget. If you are that desperate for a vacation, book a darn ticket!
Can you imagine flying all the way to Austrailia and not earning miles...? What was Oprah thinking! :-P
