Not very surprised! The few clips of her and her husband that I have seen have been tense. She is funny at times, but most of the time just plain rude.

I am a little confused about tonight's episode. I didn't realize that this show was being taped when their big fiasco happened at the State dinner.

When the news broke about the Salahis, I remember a mention that they had a camera crew with them that was stopped at the security check and the Salahis went in alone. I wasn't sure at the time why they had cameras with them or who was there, but later they announced that she was part of the show. Not sure if the finale is correct with its timeline, but I am sure Bravo wanted this to be the season finale since it made national news.

I did noticed how uncomfortable things got when people kept asking them for the invitation. She seemed nervous and "forgot" what she was supposed to be looking for. I have a feeling that they are scam artists who use the winery and polo connections to get into a lot of different events. Also, many events will let people in who look like they belong because they don't want to offend guests or cause a problem. They have abused this all the way to the white house.

Did anyone watch the Finale last night?


WELL the Salahi's got FRIED last night!!!!

 

[Allison]

Those people are messed up. They are real con artists.

Not enough. They still don't get it.

I find the Salihis so hard to understand.

They have yet to say they are sorry, or as the Turners said, feel any shame.

They seem to be really good at going where they don't belong. And pretending to be richer and classier than they are. Which I don't mind in general. It's kind of Ferris Beuller-like. (They are a little old for that....)

Attending a State dinner without an invitiation is much more serious, and not cute. But, if as they say, they didn't lie about their names, and they were physically let in (didn't sneak through) I don't think it's criminal. THey shouldn't have been let in and it should be investigated how they got in, so that security can be improved. It shouldn't happen again. But I don't agree with the other housewives saying "make them make license plates" and "put them in jail!" I thought that was harsh.

Then again, I can totally see how Cat was so mad at them. If her association with them was what got her "uninvited" to the White House Christmas Party. Hmmm... was it really that or did Charles just not want to take her?

Of all the housewives cast, Stacy and Jason had the best attitude toward the Salihis, one of reason, and trying to find out what really happened. They treated them with the most respect, but were treated rudely in return, as the Salahis snuck out the back door.

Here is what I don't understand. Their whole facade seems to rely on not being too well-known, being able to fly under the radar, so none of their associates can compared notes. So, it seems to me that joining a reality show was the worst idea they could have. Because now they are rather infamous, and exposed for what they are.

I don't understand how anyone would go on a reality show expecting to hide any truth about themselves.

I didn't think I would like this season, but I did. I liked the fact that there wasn't a ton of bickering and stalker psycho-ness like some of the other series. I look forward to seeing it again.

ITA!!!

These people are being filmed as they go to the next security checkpoint. Anyone attending state dinners have background check done prior to the event, so how did they bypass ALL the security checks. I also remember during the investigation that the Salahis produced e-mails that indicated that they were going to be invited. I have a feeling that there is more to the story than what is being said.

While I don't care for the Salahis and their entitled attitudes, I don't buy that they just walked in to the White House.

I agree with you. How did they just walk in? I just don't believe that. And if they did just walk in then shame on the security. They are more at fault then the Salahis. I just can not wrap my head around the fact they walked in. It is just not possible!

I understand that security at the WH should be more culpable than the Salahi's, but I also understand why the other women wanted them jailed. We saw them in little snippets. The other HWs saw them all the time and their history with this couple caused them to dislike them and wish them ill.

I thought the same thing about Charles not wanting Cat to go with him to the WH.

 

[vettechick99]

I'm just so confused. If they weren't on the damn list, how did they get in?

 

[HeatherH]

I'm just so confused. If they weren't on the damn list, how did they get in?

On the show, they showed them at the FIRST checkpoint, where the checker there said they were NOT on the list. But, she directed them to walk "down there" and she would talk to someone and get it straightened out. Like she was going to call someone and figure it out. The Salahis acted as if it was nothing at all and just sashayed on down the sidewalk.

Since the cameras were not allowed past the first checkpoint, we never saw how they were able to get past the others. I'm guessing it was a combination of them schmoozing and acting like they belonged there, with obvious ineptness on the part of security at the event.

I enjoyed this first season way more than I thought I would too. It will be interesting to see if it is still interesting if Cat doesn't come back (sounding like she won't) and if the Salahi's scandal is not in the news.

ACtually the way they seemed to ignore the fact that they weren't on the list is pretty telling, now that I think about it. Like this happens to them all the time. If it this happened to me, and I actually had been invited, and I knew I should be on the list, I would be freaking out at that point. I mean, if I had bought a fancy-schmancy dress, spent all that time and money on hair, makeup, etc., told all my friends I was going, and then I wasn't on the list??? Knowing this was the WH and they take security so seriously it would never occur to me that it would be possible to talk my way in. So at that point I would be sweating through that sari all the way to the next checkpoint, sure the evening would be a disaster. All they said was..."Oh good, we are not late."

It's like they don't hear what they don't want to hear. THey smile blankly when bad news is given, and talk around tough questions rather than answer them. It happened the whole season.

I missed them on Watch What Happen Live, did they say they were fired then?

Also will there be a reunion show?

Yea, I remember hearing the gatekeeper say that. But geez, they went through how many other checkpoints and still sailed through? ***! If I was Obama, heads would surely roll.

I very much dislike Cat. I think she's rude and arrogant.

starann, there will be a reunion show next week I think.

Yes, I noticed that and it was driving me nuts too! I was getting dizzy watching her.

Who is Mike? And which she are you talking about? I don't recall a Mike on the show.
Oh, wait...are you referring to Michaele as Mike?
