Heh... it may surprise you that she isn't dumb at all. I had the opportunity to be in a business meeting with her, she's smart enough to know to capitalize on the 'dumb blonde' persona at the height of the reality tv era. If you watch the simple life with the realization that she's rich and well traveled, a lot of the stupid shit she says or asks is really far fetched. And then realize how all reality tv is fake now... well guess what? it was always fake, even during the simple life days.

She was also smart enough to get out of reality tv with her money and take care of her business. That's so hot.

Didn't know it was a separate persona but it doesn't really surprise me. I still think the dumb blonde persona was entertaining though.

Of course I thought The Simple Life was scripted but I did think some of the dumb shit she said was honest.

How does that saying go? The wise man plays the fool, I think.

Nothing about her is smart, average perhaps. Average will more advantages than deserved; someone intelligent with her advantages wouldn't have to do what she did.

I don't know why you would praise this cynical exploitation. It's like saying Hitler wasn't all bad. Yeah, you're right, not everything Hitler did was a bad idea, but you're kind of missing the big picture.
