‘Real Housewives’ are real horrible

WHAT’S remarkable about the cast of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” is not that they are exceptional in any way, but that they are oblivious to what’s behind their appeal: They are horrible people [“They’re Busting Out of the O.C.” March 11]. Add delusional and falsely entitled and you have a trifecta for Bravo television. Reality TV “stars” may think they’re smart, but an audience knows better. It’s probably inaccurate when Smiley states, “They hate the fact that we’ve figured out how to take exposure from the show and turn it into something.” Bravo’s wagging the dog here, Smiley. It’s “something,” all right.
