She tries a bite of Gretchen’s foie gras, gags, and spits it into her napkin. Vicki, one of reality TV’s most prolific dry-heavers, begins retching at the very thought that Alexis could have thrown up. After five to six minutes of loudly gagging in the crowded dining room of an elegant restaurant, she declares that Alexis is “classless.”
Vicki’s daughter Briana, the most loved member of this franchise, joins the group after dinner to celebrate a negative biopsy and the audience sighs with relief. However, Gretchen breaks down in tears at the thought of her fiancé, a relationship the other women have never let her have a moment of peace about, dying of cancer.
