^ It's good you stopped watching then. You can't afford to loose too many more.
I don't think any of us are delusional enough to believe this show is even remotely real, or that is has an substance, or that the characters aren't completely superficial. We enjoy it for the ridiculous nature of all of it. The drama and rivalries are so over-the-top and pointless that is makes for entertaining television. It was never intended to impart some great social message, it has, and always will be just a fun look a southern Californian bimbos and their so-called problems.
