<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 
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>
