Oprah Winfrey makes some pretty crazy faces. However, her reactions are nothing compared to the freakish hysterics of her audience members after they were told they're going to Australia. Wow, you would think Fosters beer allows eternal life the way some of those women reacted.

It did not take long before yesterday's premiere of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show's' 25th season inspired an entire blog. 'Faces Of The Last Season of Oprah' promises to chronicle the absurdity that will no doubt ensue this season through screen-grabs of reaction shots.

Not getting support from your family can be tough. This is the problem that Nikki is dealing with on 'The Real L Word' (Sun., 10PM ET on SHO).

In her twenties, Nikki was married to a man -- but then she decided the whole "straight" thing wasn't for her, and came out as a lesbian in front of a national audience on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' These days, Nikki is planning on getting married to her fianceé Jill. But her father isn't happy about the situation.

Nikki hasn't heard from her father in four years. The last time she talked him was after she came out on 'Oprah' in 2006. At that point, her dad called her and said this: "I was in my house ... and turned on 'Oprah,' and saw a beautiful woman, and I thought to myself, 'What a waste of a woman,' when I heard the subject matter. And then I realized it was [my daughter]."

On 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated), host Oprah had on special guest Geneen Roth. Ms. Roth appeared on the program to discuss her book 'Women, Food, and God.' Oprah credits this book with changing her attitude toward dieting and life.

While talking to Roth, Oprah shared a story about her obsession with food. Oprah discussed how for years, she felt "lost" because of her eating habits. Winfrey said that her reaction to stress was to overeat, and that she didn't even realize what she was doing. "I didn't have any stress ... I ate the stress. Any stressful moment I would've had, I ate it."

Winfrey then declared that she has come to understand this problem. She said that winning this battle can help women return to the "sacredness" of themselves.

We've had a lot of shocking moments in the history of television. There was the time that man first walked on the moon. That was pretty amazing for all concerned. ... Or there was the time that the sitcom 'Joey' was canceled. No one saw that coming; who would have thought a Matt LeBlanc-based sitcom could fail? Okay, it wasn't really shocking at all; we just wanted to make fun of 'Joey.' We admit it.

But what is the most surprising moment ever? That's the question on 'TV's Greatest Surprises: A Paley Center for Media Special' (Wed., 8PM ET on CBS). And your winner is ...

[Spoiler alert.]

Journalist Laura Ling appeared on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated), where she discussed her imprisonment in a North Korean jail. While doing an uncover report in Korea, Laura was captured -- along with her colleague Euna Lee -- and was held captive for 140 days.

In the end, Laura was freed due to some help at the highest level. Specifically, she was released with aid from former President Bill Clinton. Laura told Oprah Winfrey about the experience of being saved by an ex-President: "It was unreal; it was surreal," she said. "[I was] ushered into a room, and standing before [me] was President Clinton. And I seriously felt like it was this angelic figure that had come to save [me]."

It was a lucky release for Ling. She had been sentenced to 12 years of hard labor, and was held captive without running water, in prison cells that were often pitch black.

Tom Cruise is back on 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' (weekdays, syndicated). But this time, there's no couch-jumping involved.

He also wished happiness upon his family members, saying that he has been fortunate in his own life to get to do something that he loves.

"I wish that for them -- the happiness," Tom said of his family. All in all, it was a pleasantly normal appearance for him on the show.

Rumor has it that Rosie O'Donnell is being set up as Oprah's replacement when the Daytime Queen retires from her eponymous show in 2011. At least that's how the industry gossips put it. The truth is that while Rosie is planning a talk show to launch when the Oprah set goes dark, it's being produced by a different company and will probably run on cable, not on ABC.

But who can resist speculating about who could replace Oprah Winfrey? Since Oprah announced that her show would be ending its 25-year run, a short list of possible candidates has included Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray, Martha Stewart, Sarah Palin, Tyra Banks and even Michelle Obama. But I think Oprah is irreplaceable. Sure, you could give another woman her time-slot, but in the world of daytime talk, time-slots are meaningless. You live or die on your own ability to capture the public imagination.
