Oprah's "Ultimate Favorite Things" Goes Overboard

Time Out Chicago should give Mark Bieganski some hazardous duty pay. Bieganski has the full list of what Oprah Winfrey gave away to her audience today on her final "Favorite Things" episode before she says "buh-bye" to syndication for the brightly colored glow of the Oprah Winfrey Network.

Among the items the audience received: a 7-day cruise, a 52-inch Sony Bravia 3D television, and a limited edition Oprah 25th anniversary watch from Phillip Stein encrusted with 58 hand set diamonds. Even all that isn't enough to make us sit through a Black Eyed Peas performance to get the swag. Our tolerance for tackiness has limits.

Oprah's surprising her Monday audience with the same gifts. But if you're reading this and are attending, try to act shocked.
