It was a girls weekend. A weekend for the girls. And Tamra’s husband Simon. And Gretchen’s boyfriend Slade. And Alexis’ chin-challenged husband Jim Bellino.

Vicki didn’t invite any of them on her trip, but they showed anyway to ensure that their wives didn’t fall prey to Vicki’s influence and start asking to get a job.

The women whooped it up on their daytime outings, riding a helicopter out to the Everglades and cackling with joy at every new animal sighting, while the men sat around with sour faces and complained that Vicki is just bitter and manly (because she has a job).
