The Real(ity show) O.C.

Tuesday night was the finale of “The Real Housewives of Orange County.” I admit to getting sucked in, but I claim that it was all in the name of “research.” After all, those people are now my (distant) neighbors. Not that I’ve ventured into Orange County or particularly want to after watching the show.

To be fair, I think most families would come across as dysfunctional if cameras were trained on them. What struck me, though, was how ordinary, not particularly bright, and, to be frank, downright insipid the people on the show were…and yet, they are *loaded.*

Proof once again that wealth seems to follow no rhyme or reason.
