With the convenience of Tivo, Lemon will usually record a bunch of episodes of Oprah, and watch them all at once. This means that I will sometimes join her on the couch and endure the ordeal that is the female bonding experience all because I'm so addicted to TV. A while back, I caught this particular show with some of the stills posted below. Take a guess as to what the show was about based on the stills below. 
Nope. She didn't just announce some new Angel Network or the start of a new school in Africa. This is what the entire audience looked like when she announced the show was her summer season "Oprah's Favorite Things" episode. If you haven't ever watched one of these, it's where Oprah basically pulls out what she'll be using for the upcoming season, whether it be a $10 pair of flip flops, the latest new iPod, or a designer pair of sunglasses.
Granted, she usually gives away a bunch of things for the audience to take home, but still, the above reactions were even before she showed any of her things and told them they'd be going home free stuff. I guess this is what happens when you have a history of giving an entire audience a brand new car.

The power of Oprah...

So what did she give away?
You know, in that first still that person's elbow in the background looks as if the statues from easter island have invaded the set.
I think most of it was simple stuff like flip-flops, bathing suits, makeup, etc. The big giveaway was a big Weber gas grill. I'm sure most women were disappointed, but I was disappointed that they didn't pan to some of the rare men in the audience after she told everyone they would be going home with a grill--they were probably crying like babies.
I don't think I've ever seen a woman swoon over flip-flops.
Remember--they were swooning BEFORE she even showed anything or told them they were going home with free stuff.
And as far as women swooning over flip-flops, well, when they're free and endorsed by Oprah...
Another thing that gets women excited, as Chris Rock said in one of his comedy routines, is sales. Want to distract your woman? Just yell out "SALE!"
