UPDATED 1/24/11 (morning) So, we were right! Our #1 prediction is the truth that was revealed by Oprah today. She has a half sister she never knew about. Her mother gave birth to a child when Oprah was 9 (and living with her father) that was eventually given up for adoption. Oprah reunites with her half-sister, Patricia, today on the show. Man, we're good. Congrats Oprah!

So we're getting ready for the weekend (AKA sitting on our butts, mentally preparing our snacks and TV lineup). THEN - out of the blue, the Big O herself says something HUGE in a show teaser. She's going to a) drop a big bomb on us Monday by revealing a family secret she's been keeping for months; and b) have some sort of on-air reunion!
We've never wanted a Monday to come so fast. What could the secret be???? Since we're on a roll with our predictions (granted Oprah and Jersey Shore are a bit apples and orange people), we're going to venture some guesses on this one.
These have absolutely no basis - pure conjecture - but we'll believe in our own psychic powers if we get anything even remotely right. Here are our three guesses:
- Maybe Oprah has a long lost sibling she never knew about - until now
- Perhaps Stedman has a long lost child he didn't know about until recently
- Or, what if Oprah brings her mom onto the show (Oprah has said they are not close at all - Oprah was not really raised by her mother for very long) to discuss things about Oprah's childhood that Oprah never knew????
Quick Update (1/21, evening time): We'd like to make a bonus prediction #4. Given that genealogy and ancestry DNA testing are such a big trend these days, we also wouldn't be surprised if Oprah got a test and it revealed something shocking e.g. someone else famous she is related to. Some folks on other sites are wondering if it may even be Maya Angelou she's related to.
So there you have it. We'll circle back on this one Monday to see how we did.
