The editing gods had fun with this one! One could spend the entire episode figuring out which segments were taped before the infamous White House Security Breach and which were taped after. One clue, It didn’t snow for the first time last winter in the DC area until December 5.
But I digress…
Lynda Erkiletian is providing models for a fashion show given by the embassy of the small, land-locked West African nation of Burkina Faso.Lynda is happy to provide all the assistance the designer needs, and the dresses are “da bomb!”. Lynda left a picture of Tareq and Michaele with security to make sure they were not allowed into the event. Over the top? Maybe. Maybe prevention. Mary Amons daughter Lolly may have had an embarrassing reaction to them after the allegations they made against her. (why have we not heard this woman’s name, Lauren, at least once?)
Stacie and Jason Turner are trying to reach her step-brother through Facebook, a really bad idea, which doesn’t work anyway. Who answers cryptic messages like the one they left? I certainly wouldn’t. They end up contacting the Nigerian embassy, which was infinitely more successful. so maybe Stacie is on the road to finding her father. Was it not uncanny how much Stacie and the woman from the Nigerian embassy resembled each other?
In a prelude to the divorce between Cat and Charles Ommanney, Lynda again talks about how hard it is for Cat with Charles gone all the time. A fill in the blank part to the story. There is an annual White House Christmas Party for the press that the Ommanney’s are invited to attend.
Here we have more Michaele and Tareq lies, the defunct America’s Polo Cup, hosting India, to tie in to the Gate-Crasher incident. Why the constant lying? We see them getting ready for the event (the hairdresser and the make-up person both had to testify before Congress) as they brag and boast all about the so-called “secret event”.
We see an unprecedented move by Bravo and Half Yard Productions, as Michaele pretends to go to the car to show the invitation to the hairdresser:
Producer: “You’re still looking for it, right?”
Michaele: “Well, I don’t know. Who has it?”
Producer: “I don’t know — I thought you were going to run out there and bring it here.”
Michaele: “What do you want me to look for?”
Producer: “Remember, your invitation”
What’ cha wanna bet Bravo stuck that conversation in later, to support their claim to be unaware the Salahi’s were not invited.
Liability! culpability!
Of course, Tareq pops in and says “You don’t need an invitation to go to the White House”. I’ll remember that next time I’m in DC.
The drama continues: This is what Lynda told eonline yesterday:
Get a therapist,” Lynda told reporters when asked if she had any advice for the controversial reality star. “I think it’s really unfortunate that people feel like they have to make things up to create a spotlight,” she continued. “I think it’s better to just work for it as opposed to making it up.”
And when it comes to Michaele’s multiple sclerosis announcement, Lynda attempts to be a little more diplomatic. “I was very surprised,” she said. “No one really knows what they’re making up, but I hope that she’s not using MS, something as serious as that, to sell a book. Even I would be shocked by that. I wish her the best and I hope that she’s getting proper treatment. She looks amazing so let’s hope that’s not MS being BS.”

As soon as we begin to realize that most of this stuff is “manufactured drama” with little, if any, basis in “reality” the better off we will be. Bravo is in the business of making money off its sponsors by “creating” storylines with these women in total agreement of how they are presented.
The only reality involved is what happens offscreen, such as Teresa with her bankruptcy woes, Danielle with her shady past, and the Salahi’s with their nonstop bid to be famous by crashing events. The rest, the so called “feuds” that beckon the audience, is part and parcel of this series which bears little resemblance to “reality” that has us choosing up sides.
