Not only unpatriotic, this young bimbo gets an F in grammar.
"It was fellow reality panelist Maria Caucci and I." Wrong use of the subjective pronoun "I". It should read "...Caucci and me."

I don't think I agree.
Verb of being.
The "I" is correct, as in "It was I" the obverse of which is "I was it."
(but I'm open to correction.)

Well, technically, after a linking verb, the nominative is correct ("Caucci and I"), while colloquial speech normally uses the objective.
All the same, I suspect your instinct is correct--she may just have happened to get it right, like a stopped clock.
