Wanted: A Good-looking Audience

Wanted: A Good-looking Audience
If you're going to be in the audience of Oprah Winfrey's talk show, it pay to look your best. During a recent taping with George Clooney, Oprah and her staffers rearranged the seating, removing people who weren't dressed to the nines from the front rows. "The audience seats are on a first-come, first-get basis, but Oprah apparently wanted George to look out at a sea of well-dressed people," one audience member revealed. "She moved the front two rows to other seats and filled them with attractive members of her staff."

Hah. Very interesting.

A girl friend and I went to a taping of the Oprah show last year, and this seems to be pretty common on ALL episodes (though, not replacing audience members with staff...)... I think they DO want the better dressed folks in the front...

Just goes to show you how important dressing nice is.

It could just be because I'm a fashion design major, but I hate it when people go to class in pajamas.

Not saying you should look like you going to a formal, but let's try not to look like you just rolled out of bed. Let's the professor know, and not to mention everyone else, that you could care less about the class.

Her audience always looks like a bunch of Stepford wives - it's really creepy!

If I went to her show,I would wear nice clothes.... I don't understand how scruffy some people can be these days....

Ye, perhaps a fashion class....but honey I hate to break it to you but ppl who don't dress nice all the time are usually more focused on other things....such as for instance the reading material for the class...or thinking or something unimportant like that

Anyway, as for Oprah and Dr Phil, perhaps they should start with improving themselves instead - sounds like they're overcompensating their own ugliness with their audience. Corny....

well some guests might not have nice enough clothes for the front row, it's a little mean to shunt them backwards but I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles... at least now we know why the people in the front are always so flippin' manic.

I find that a bit hypocritical,seeing she always claims to be about self-love,self-acceptance,helping your spirit grow and all sorts of related drivel.

I love beautiful clothes as much as the next person (and probably more than),but this is just shallow.

But then fortunately,I had never mistaken her for a sincere person,so on the whole it really doesn't matter to me.

I do however feel sorry for those who take all that trouble to go and see their heroine,only to find that they don't look good enough for her.

I've actually been to the Oprah show and when they call you to give you your ticket info they tell you how you should dress and NOT to wear white.

Once you get there you are in this large waiting room... they come on over the speakers to tell you that they are about to begin filling the auidence... they call 2 groups of names that have been hand selected by the producers of the show to sit in certain areas of the audience (basically areas where you will be seen on tv). They basically say "Don't worry if your name is not called, our producers hand select these people". Then after that is done, everyone just files in and it's each man/woman for themselves to get a good seat. My girlfriend and I were selected to sit in the second row ... we nearly touched Oprah.

But she has always said that she has the best looking auidence

you will also note that one all of her shows that are about "What to Wear" or "What Not to Wear", all the ladies from the audience who have uhh...lack of style.. are seated in the back. All the audience that gets complimented on wearing the right sort of outfit for their body are towards the front. Coincidence? I think not.
