<p>Mm, maybe. I'm not sure - perhaps she was just notified ahead of time? That might've been the case, because they had to call and get her school's address, because she'd messed up on that. All I know is that she's known for roughly a week, and I'd assume that all of the winners would've been notified at the same time.</p>
<p>Grrr...any other news?</p>
<p>about the cars Oprah gave away:</p>
<p>The cars, priced at $28,400 fully loaded, were donated by Pontiac, according to the carmaker. Pontiac, a division of General Motors (GM: Research, Estimates), has also agreed to pay sales tax for each membr of the lucky audience.</p>
<p>Sounds like you are just looking for a way to put her down.</p>
<p>still haven't heard anything here, but the person who writes the blog that was linked on the second page noticed that we found hers :D she is one of the few people who ought to be writing blogs; hers are hilarious! ...some of the stuff she said, though...IN has some of the worst writers? I hope she isn't the one who graded mine bc I think my writing is decent (none of that grammatical error crap that my fellow Hoosiers do :p), and I don't remember whether I used a semicolon; I think I know how to use one correctly, at any rate. Anyway, I thought you all might want to know that someone took notice of us...</p>
<p>haha, yeah... I noticed that too. She is a really good blog writer, some of the blogs are just hilarious! Also, if the blogwriter comes back here...I'd like to apologize for posting the link online. Originally, I didn't realize this board gets so much traffic and hope that you are not upset. Yours just happened to pop up when I searched "oprah" and "essay" at blogsearch.google.com</p>
<p>Hey guys``</p>
<p>The Oprah Show called my D today. The rep said that they called her principal several days last week so they could arrange a surprise phone contact. When that didn't work out they called me to see if I would tape her reaction to the call. We videotaped her receiving the call.</p>
<p>The rep said the Show received 50,000 essays and it was tough to narrow it down to 50. Taping plans are to be finalized soon. DD is excited!</p>
<p>Oh wow!! Please tell her congrats for us :)</p>
<p>Congrats! :)</p>
<p>what was her essay about?</p>
<p>please give us details about the trip and all the exciting things to come!!</p>
<p>o wait. guys beware. this sent! could be lying. a similar post was on another board. Again, a friend of mine called Harpo and the winners HAVE NOT been announced.</p>
<p>aggghhh!! someone just erase my memory, now, please!!! :D</p>
<p>soooo the waiting potentially continues...thanks for sleuthing Getouttabuffalo</p>
<p>im officially dying. it better be done next week...OR ELSSEEEEEE</p>
<p>yeah, no kidding!! my chances are prob. quite low; I know I'm not the best high-school writer in the nation, but here's hoping that they received a bunch of crappy essays or my grader was given a stack of bad ones plus mine :D</p>
<p>Congrats to sent! and his daughter! That sounds really exciting. I was originally hoping I'd win because I wanted to take my mom for her birthday (February 27th!) but they changed the date now :( I'm not a very good writer either. I wish Oprah would have had a national Calculus test or Chemistry or something more exciting!</p>
<p>anyone wanna do an essay swap? im curious to read ur guys essays.</p>
<p>A producer posted on the Oprah's Book Club message board. Apparently, all the winners have already been notified.</p>
<p>:-\ its overrrr</p>
<p>What's the prize for this anyway?></p>
<p>a trip to Chicago to be on the Oprah show</p>
<p>I rather jump off a cliff than be on the Oprah Show.</p>
