Other RHODC Castmates Insist: It's 'Not All About The Salahis'

WaPo.com:

White House party crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi are not the stars of Bravo's upcoming "The Real Housewives of D.C.," and their White House-partying ways are, in fact, "one small snippet" of the first season, two of the non-Michaele cast members said Thursday with all the certainty of people who have not yet seen any of the episodes.

The "one small snippet" line was Mary Schmidt Amons's. She's the wealthy granddaughter of '50s broadcaster Arthur Godfrey-cum-McLean mother of five. She's the one you're going to see in the first episode telling Stacie Scott Turner -- a real estate agent and the show's only African American cast member -- that Washington hair salons "need to integrate" because "we have different hair, different needs, but why do we need to be in different salons?"

On a conference call with The Reporters Who Cover Television, Amons wanted to make sure everyone understood that the show "is not all about the Salahis."

"We spent five months together, and we spent a lot of time sharing our stories, and I think that the American public is going to be really interested and inspired by our stories," Amons said, sounding very much like someone who's none too happy about having been upstaged by Michaele Salahi.

"I think viewers are going to be so surprised to find out the White House party crash is not the crescendo of the show," noted Turner, who was the other housewife on the call. 

I have to admit that I'm not all that excited about watching RHODC only because I've already had enough of the 'famewhores' that are Michaele and Tareq Salahi what with all the attention the White House party-crashers have already gotten from the press. Therefore I hope that the other women do have interesting stories of their own, enough to keep viewers watching anyway, but so far none of them have created enough buzz about themselves for me to notice.
