Who Doesn't Want to Give Big?

Next Sunday on ABC, "Oprah's Big Give" will be airing it's season finale, leaving just three contestants: Cameron, Steven, and Brandi. The whole concept and motto that is incorporated into the show over and over is that "You either give big, or you go home." For those that have not been into Oprah the way I have the past seven weeks, here's what happens: each week, the contestants are taken to different big cities across the US, given money and are assigned the task of helping an individual, family, organization, or whoever and changing their life/lives in the biggest and most creative way as possible. After each challenge, the contestants face the judges: Tony Gonzales, Malaack Compton-Rock, and Jamie Oliver, and are judged for how they perform and who gives the biggest.

I love what Oprah is doing with this show. To watch these people make such a big difference in one or a group's life is amazing. Oprah's PR people are trying to reach out to everyone out there and send the message that doing good and giving big will reward you in the best way...and when it comes to the show, the "biggest giver" is going to be surprised with $1 million from Oprah. I think it's wonderful that they get this money, but what about all of those across America that give more than what these people give? Most of the time these people aren't rewarded, except for the feeling that they made a difference in someone's life. I love the concept of the show, I just feel that it's not what happens in reality. People who give big are those who don't ask for anything in return.
