There is a level of production going on with the casting and research, but even with a bit of help it’s clear that Rick Harrison is a pretty sharp dude.

He’s also a high school drop-out.

RHoNJ: Kathy Wakile’s daughter Victoria Wakile is a brain tumor survivor

Tonight on Real Housewives of New Jersey we learned that a little more about Kathy Wakile‘s adorable family. The kids had to sign a contract about their (realistic) promises to stay out of trouble for their parents. 15-year-old son Joseph wrote his contract with the precise language of a lawyer, and informed his parents that although he would not bend his beliefs, part of his believes involve having a few drinks on the weekend when he’s a Junior and Senior. While teenage drinking is extremely dangerous and irresponsible, it’s a sign that Kathy and Richards are good parents that their son feels comfortable enough to be honest with them.

Then we learned that 17-year-old Victoria Wakili had a brain tumor in 2004.

She was also lying to her husband, telling him she only ate about 3 boxes a week.

Weinergate: Delaware Police Interview Teenage Girl About Rep. Anthony Weiner Tweets

The Monday press conference in which he admitted to repeated lies didn’t do it. The House ethics inquiry into his behavior announced by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi didn’t do it.
