The competition continues to discover who will be the biggest giver!
This Sunday, Indy superstar DANICA PATRICK joins the "Oprah's Big Give" competition to get the contestants off and running on "The Big Give Road Trip." Every mile counts on this race and one contestant winds up in the middle of a harrowing tragedy. The racers also get phone calls from OPRAH WINFREY to give them encouragement.
The eight one-hour episodes of "Oprah's Big Give" were developed from an idea that Lady O utilized on her daytime talk show about paying it forward. Oprah tasked 349 people with taking a small amount of money, turning it into a larger amount, and helping as many people as possible. On the primetime version, a group of 10 people have been challenged to change the lives of complete strangers by giving away hundreds of thousands of dollars. Each week, one person is judged to be the big giver; one will be sent home.
JAMIE OLIVER, MALAAK COMPTON-ROCK and TONY GONZALEZ are the judges; NATE BERKUS hosts.
"Oprah's Big Give" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on ABC.
