I just got back from one of the most fascinating shoots I've ever done.

Oprah and our team were invited to the YFZ Ranch, an infamous Polygamist community located in what is the most isolated area of Texas I've ever seen.

You might remember the Yearning for Zion Ranch. Last year, 439 children were removed from the property and taken into protective custody.

Now, a year later, all but one of the children have been returned to the ranch.

My team and I have been covering this story all year, and until the raid, this ranch has been off limits.

Now, we have been offered an intimate look at how the people on the ranch live, their daily routines, customs and rituals. Oprah asks the questions we all want to know....on love, marriage, dating and even sex.

We're working on the video tape now...and I think it's going to be incredible.

Tune in Monday!

It's Facebook Friday!

Posted on Mar 11, 2009 6:20 PM

Our team is producing the Live Friday show this week.

We love working on these shows because you never know what the big stories might be.

This week, we're unveiling the new "Oprah Winfrey Show" Facebook page!

Thanks for "friending" us!

I have to admit, I didn't know a lot about Facebook until I started working on this show. I created my very first profile and heard from people I haven't talked to in years. I'm still learning the lingo and I haven't had the courage to send out a status update. But I do love getting them from my friends.

One of my friends is making cookies.

Another is planning their St. Patrick's Day.

And another just had triplets!

There is great comfort in knowing what everyone is up to all at the same time!

Also, I know you have seen the YouTube video, "Christian the Lion". That moment when the giant lion leaps up to hug his former owners makes us all cry!

So many people wondered what the real story is behind that video..well, we've got it!

Make sure to tune in Friday, when our friends Ali, Mark and Gayle are live on the show!
