The Queen of Talk Oprah Winfrey is currently in discussion with Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri, the creators of the popular television reality series, The Amazing Race. Oprah is collaborating with van Munster and Doganieri with the aim of launching a charity-themed show called, The Big Give. The concept of the show is reminiscent of the novel "You Shall Know Our Velocity," which was penned by acclaimed writer, editor and publisher Dave Eggers. The fictional work tells the story of two people who go around the globe to spend money in various charitable and innovative projects. Take the two people and multiply it by five, and you’ve got yourself Oprah’s new reality competition, with the winner, of course, being the most innovative of them all. The success of the show will still remain the hands of the viewers, but given that names like Oprah, Munster and Doganieri are behind it, it seems highly probable that The Big Give will be a big hit.

Given the recent controversy that Oprah has faced regarding the supposed overly strict system of her school in South Africa, one may feel that she is somewhat trying to lighten the situation by using a show to further highlight her charitable side. The issue came about after the students’ parents apparently complained about the school’s rigidity. However, Oprah has not responded to the issue with much defensiveness, and has calmly explained that the reason why she has imposed strict rules in her school is because she only wants the best for her students. She also said that she has already spoken to the parents, and told them that if they are unhappy with the school, they are free to withdraw their children.

On the other hand, Oprah may just want to further effect positive change by producing a show that rewards good and selfless deeds. After all, no matter what the reason may be, many people will surely benefit from The Big Give.
