The difference is Savy's interpretation is more believable because it rests on the straightforward premise that the guy is looking out for his bank account. Yours assumes he not only cares about what he's talking about but is trying to influence the outcome through some kind of double-reverse 3D psychology - reverse psychology being telling someone they can't do something so they try to prove you wrong, double-reverse 3D psych being telling them they can, then telling them they have no chance, thus making them not try. It makes no sense really.
In reality, build-up/tear-down is a pretty good motivating technique for a lot of people. That's why so many coaches use it.
Still, all of this assumes Adams has any kind of influence on what Oprah does or doesn't do, which I think might overestimates his influence.
