kardashians are fascinating...because we watch their show and they keep us intertaining. In that respect they have fascinated us and intertained us big time. We watch them, we read about them, they became relevent. And Kim is very attractive, so we like looking at her.

This rating loses its' significance by including the Kardashians. Some of the others are questionable. I would have included Anderson Cooper.

Yes, I would most definitely agree with most of the posters. Barb's list is far from fascinating. To be honest, I would think that a woman who's interviewed some very interesting and powerful people in the country, would chose these irrelevant people. What a waste fo time and space.

IF these are the most fascinating people in the world, the WORLD of Barbara Walters is not very FASCINATING. OR the World is a place with 7 billion stupid people.

BOOOOO!!!! ***TOMATO*** BOOOO!!!!! Barbara Walters USED to be a serious journalist...a force. Now she is saying the Kardashians are "the most fascinating"??? How so?? There is nothing about them, other than having a bunch of other fans who pray to the God of Vanity, that is interesting. Here is the thing, I bet there are PLENTY of families that are more disfunctional and interesting than these folks, they just don't have camera's in their home broadcasting it to millions of people.
