Hi harpobear....is there any way to thank Rachel for her contributions to our fundraiser - the Christopher Ricardo Cystic Fibrosis Foundation? It was greatly appreciated and there are family members, friends, and new friends I have now who are so grateful to her - but I have no info. Can you direct me to a generic way - maybe her blog? Thanks Robin

*Why was Carlana eliminated from this episode?* *We've heard from a lot of you about this elimination. I agree it was a tough one. I hated to see Carlana go. She was such an inspiration, so full of heart and was a fantastic addition to Oprah's Big Give. However, the producers had absolutely no influence on the judge's decision. After a long deliberation-I think it lasted for over an hour-the judges unanimously decided that Carlana was the right choice. Do you agree?* I love it... the above was on the question and answer blog with the producers. Apparantly they can't READ. The last sentence - "Do you agree?" Well, DUH.... if anyone read these blogs they would know that no one agreed. Too funny.

Did anyone notice that Maalak Rock took down her blog for episode 3? Did she get so much heat about Carlana, that she didnt want to read anymore comments about why she was the wrong person voted off? If you can't stand the heat, get out the kitchen...

I'd like to see some kind of community that is working on Big Gives of their own. I have a Big Give I've started and this would be a cool place to connect with others who want to participate. I've created a website but your current boards don't allow links. I'm sure this type of forum would have to be censored for the greater good, we don't want this to be another avenue for scamming others, but I think it has great potential.

Chris Rock, although incredibly funny and adorable, does this one routine where he talks about how all blacks really despise all white people behind closed doors. I would say Malaak Rock's influence in the voting off of Carlana and the support of that heinous woman Rachel is a stunning example of that attitude. So was Oprah's mean, condescending dressing down of Carlanna on her show. Shame on both of them!! I guess Racism does come in all colors!!!
