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!

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
TERMS and CONDITIONS - No men allowed (outside of prearranged "companions" of Mr. Travolta in the cockpit) - Your in flight entertainment consists of an unreleased 10 hour Director's Cut of "Battlefield Earth". - No outside reading material permitted. Copies of "O" Magazines will be provided. - Passengers are required to remain in their seats in a state of pure, rapturous ecstasy at all times. Scientology counselors will administer complimentary stress kits to all. - Of course unlimited servings of Kool-Aid brand beverages will be served.
"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
