Umm yeah, Dear Oprah did not pick Bob Green, Dr. Phil, etc to "elevate their career." She selected them, and very carefully mind you to help HER loose the baggage that has plagued her physicall and emotionally for years!

She hired Bob Green to help her tackle her obesity that has plagued her for years. And the reason she hand picked him was because he was the best she could find. A side benefit for these people you named was that yes, because they were that good they because famous in their own right.

But make no mistake Oprah picked them because they stood out. Quite a different story than a contest.

I doubt Oprah had anything to do with this. Hackers maybe, but not Oprah.

The contestant that lost the contest was gracious. But many believe the contest was rigged so the black woman could win.
No way that Oprah would do that. I think that many shows are rigged in favor of white ppl. Look at "the Bachelor". Why do white contestants always win? It's rigged.

If she did then she did what so many before her have done. Is it right? Of course not. Did I expect her to be better than this? LOL of course not.

I don't care much for Oprah anymore but find it hard to believe that she would rig a contest for any one to win.
