Lonesome, I saw snippets of her program in passing, I never actually watched more than a few minutes of it, but I have tended to presume that those "reality" programs are more fiction than fact. They are created for public consumption and there is a formula of smarminess and pathos that must go into them (just like soap operas) to keep people coming back. Do you think she was really that lacking in substance? That's why I made the comment about "dumb blonds" being good at the act but in actuality quite bright.

Mary, I agree.
