On the contrary, I think that most girls who watch the show do so because they recognize how ridiculous it is. It's a guilty pleasure and is so far removed from reality. The characters are all absolutely atrocious human beings. People generally just don't act like that in real life, and so it's amusing to watch these unbelievably over-the-top egotistical, conniving teenagers act melodramatic and occasionally wax idiot-philosophical. That, at least, is what I gather from the females in my life who watch the thing. And I must admit, having seen 2 episodes of it myself, I can see where they're coming from. I mean, the plot is terrible, the characters, aside from being horrible people, have almost no development, and there is no real meaning or reason to the show, yet it's perversely entertaining.
