In Part 2 of Oprah Winfrey’s “Oprah & Gayle’s Big Adventure,” the two had been booked for the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Ariz.
Oprah was actually looking forward to having her own suite at the Wigwams.
After spending hours in close quarters, Oprah and Gayle needed some time apart. “I want my own teepee,” Gayle said. “[Oprah and I are] not a couple, despite what you’ve heard. I know it looks a little suspicious right now, America!”
“I want my wigwam on the other end of the village,” Oprah said.
But it didn’t work out that way.
Oprah realized that there weren’t enough teepees to accommodate her production crew—18 total—so she packed up and moved to a nearby motel. “There just weren’t enough wigwams to go around,” she says. “We didn’t want to split up because we were in a strange place.”
Feh. I’m glad Oprah didn’t bail because she didn’t like the accommodations. But Holbrook isn’t exactly a big or intimidating town. I would have sent off the others to a nearby motel and spent a restful night in one of those teepees. Togetherness can take a break for one night.
My 3 girl friends and I spend the night in the wig wam motel and we loved it. We were on a road trip from Pennsylvania to the grand canyon.
We stay there everytime we are in the area and love it too. Of course
we are not spoiled Billionaires !
