Weekend Pick

ABC/Adam Larkey

The show itself got a little bit tedious -- maybe all giving and no taking make Jack a dull boy. But the finale of "Oprah's Big Give" (Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC) will not only feature lots and lots of Oprah, Oprah, Oprah, but it'll include the big revelation: The winner takes home a million dollars! Who will be the lucky guy or girl? The pageant queen, or one of those two yuppie guys, a dot-com millionaire and a contractor who lives in a jaw-droppingly huge house in Westchester County, N.Y.? Seeing a rich guy get a little richer has got to be the biggest give of all!
