The show, which recently completed its first run on ABC, invited 10 members of the public to battle over who could find the best and most unusual ways to raise money for a selection of good causes.

The television studio was desperate to tie Winfrey down for a second season–but the media queen has said no.
Network boss Steven McPherson tells the New York Post, “We loved that show and absolutely would have loved to bring it back. But it was something Oprah didn’t want to do.”
