They might be the lucky ones though, because their Presidential Suite in the Mojave Desert is very slick. Insurance enthusiast Vicki tries to teach the other wives to play Blackjack but Gretchen Rossi, a woman who wakes in the morning with pageant hair and make-up, pretends not to understand simply to make Vicki crazy. It works.
Gretchen continues making Vicki lose her mind in ways both inventive and banal. While out by the pool, she blows the “hottie whistle” repeatedly. What is a hottie whistle? As Gretchen explains it, it is a whistle one blows when they are a hottie. Ultimately, nothing gets under Vicki’s skin as much as Gretchen ordering a dirty martini, Vicki’s “signature drink” for herself.

Housewives A-Team Vicki and Tamra stayed at home on this trip, while B-Squad Gretchen, Alexis, Peggy Tanous, and Fernanda explored a cornucopia of bull-centric activities. They ate BBQ and listened to Alexis describe her eating disorder. They watched bull riding.
