Last week, talk show veteran and founder of the OWN network, Oprah Winfrey, surprised audiences when she sat down for a two-part interview with the Kardashians, as part of her latest television venture, "Oprah's Next Chapter."

But this week, Winfrey prompted jaws to drop a little more when it was revealed that she was joining forces with the reality television family to appear on their highly-rated E! show "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," making the most of the footage filmed for the interview at mom Kris Jenner's Los Angeles home.

Winfrey justified the appearance by saying that when she met Khloe and Kim while interviewing them for her network, OWN, she respected them and fell in love.

But is there something a little off about this sudden bond between Winfrey, whose network has reportedly suffered disappointing ratings since its debut last January, and the reality family who ultimately shot to fame following the release of daughter Kim's sex tape with singer Ray-J?
