| | So Oprahs comming down under.Page 1 of 1 | | She's actually taking her entire studio audience from one show down. It's been on all the news here. So her, her entourage and another maybe 200 people that were just guests that day on the show and probably their families.. She owns property all over my island and is quite respectful of all the local culture so if you treat her good she'll be very accommodating and yeah probably great for a certain part of the economy. | |

Posted: 10/29/2010 2:57:36 PM | Huh. Wonder what happened to the first two posts.
As far as the tourist driven economy goes we are hurting big time here too.
Also I look into the Port Douglas news now and then and it sounds like they are pulling out all the stops to do everything they can to promote the visitor trade. The world sure is a changin'. | |

Posted: 10/29/2010 9:52:17 PM | As a promotion for tourism I think its quite a coup to get Oprah to have a couple of her shows in Aus. Its going to be quite difficult to get people to choose to come here on holidays when our dollar is so high at the moment so it may be that the full effect won't be felt for some time.
It surprises me that she has so much clout in one way. I don't know many people that sit down and watch daytime tv and I think I've only watched Oprah a couple of times in my life. Mind you, she wasn't on telly back when I was sitting on the lounge with babies. | |

Having been a shift worker Ive had the delight of being an Oprah fan for many a year.
These days its Oprah, Dr Phil and the View that make my day.
Used to like Ellen in the early days, now she is something of a bore. | |

Posted: 10/30/2010 1:10:51 PM | ^^^So you'll be watching the episodes at the 'Oprah House' with interest?
I've never seen the View but Dr Phil is interesting and it shows that daytime telly has improved a lot from when Days of our Lives was the only thing on. | |

Posted: 11/1/2010 5:28:00 AM | Have put my name down for tickets
What do you reckon on my chances ?
I'd be hoping for air fare as well
along with the bonus under my chair
Hey wonder if I could score hotel accommodation as well
Wonder if it will be any different seeing her on telly when she is only a 1000 k's away | |

Posted: 12/9/2010 8:14:27 PM | | Umm who cares!.She is not royalty or a saint but the media are treating her like one.Also she is getting $4 million to come here.It is not the Sydney Oprah House as they are calling it.What a crock. | |

Posted: 12/9/2010 9:42:43 PM | Yep, she's getting a few million but Australian Tourism is getting untold millions!! What a terrific boost for our economy. 
Remember, anything that Oprah endorses creates a massive amount of attention and income!! I think its great for us. Her visit, together with her enterage and the 300 audience members will be talking about it for a long time to come which is advertising in itself.
Having said that, I agree it shouldn't be called the Oprah House. That stinks, but I guess for the sake of her visit its aptly called as such. If the title remains I'll be pretty pi$$ed off. | |

Posted: 12/10/2010 7:56:13 AM | I am not an Oprah fan at all, but better to spend some on her and what she generates than the English royals.
Since we didnt get the world cup we need to attract stuff down here.
Cheers

Posted: 12/12/2010 8:28:39 PM | Russell Crowe, Olivia Newton-John, Bon Jovi, Bindi Irwin, will be a few of her guests.
(There will be 6,000 audience members for the two shows, did I read that right?)
