excerpt from RealityTV World:
Bravo is reportedly seeking public input to help its decision on whether alleged White House party crashers Michaele and Tareq Salahi should become The Real Housewives of D.C. cast members.
Bravo’s NBC Universal parent company is conducting a consumer survey to gauge perceptions about the Salahis, who have been accused of attending last month’s state dinner at the White House for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh without an invitation, Broadcasting & Cable reported Tuesday.
Questions included on the survey are “What are the first words that pop into your head when you think of the White House Gate Crashers story?” and “How did you feel about the amount and type of coverage the White House Gate Crashers story has received?”, according to Broadcasting & Cable.
After the alleged crashing became public, Bravo confirmed that the Salahis are being considered as The Real Housewives of Washington DC cast members but added neither the network nor show’s production company had any knowledge they were crashing the state dinner.
“The decision as to who will be included in the series will not be made for several months,” a Bravo spokesman said. “We are continuing with the production of the show. However, specifics with respect to the Salahis are yet to be determined.”
The Salahis are currently the subject of a federal investigation and were recently subpoenaed to testify at a January 20 hearing in front of the House Homeland Security Committee, however their attorney has stated they will invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
In other Salahi news, there’s a five page article in the Washington Post about everyone trying to sweep the incident under the rug.
