Lynda Erkiletian Speaks On The Salahi's, D.C. Finale

CNN.com:

As one of “The Real Housewives of D.C.," Lynda Erkiletian completely understands why so many people are fascinated by her fellow cast members, Tareq and Michaele Salahi.


The owner of a modeling agency told CNN the buzz surrounding the Salahis – who became well known last year after they made it past security to shake hands with President Obama during a state dinner for the prime minister of India – is more than warranted.


“I don’t think it was just our show that had to set its sights on the Salahis,” she said. “It was the entire nation who had set its sights on the Salahis given their alleged lack of invitation. It’s impossible to do a show in the nation’s capital and have a national breach of security involving one of our cast members and not have it shake our world.”


The Bravo reality show will have its finale tonight, and viewers will get a behind the scenes glimpse at that fateful night when the Salahis became arguably two of the world’s most famous party guests.

I think that Bravo has done a greatt job in not just focusing on the Salahi's this season, each cast member of RHODC have certainly gotten their equal share of the storyline. However, yes, the media attention towards Tareq and Michaele's extracurricular hijinks can certainly be overwhelming for everyone, esp. the other cast members. But will Lynda, Cat and Mary ever admit that they too have played a part in the extra buzz surrounding the "White House Gatecrashers"? Lynda just won't acknowledge her own mean girlness in how she's treated Michaele this season. Cat hates her (and pretty much everyone else's guts so at least she's consistent) and Mary's passive-aggressiveness is just unmoving at times. Stacie seems to be the only one who can take a straight-up, call-you-to-your-face-on-your-BS approach with the Salahi's and not let them get under her skin. Maybe the other women outta take a cue.
