First of all, I don't know why a group of women like this would go to a place like Costa Rica. It is definitely not their scene at all. I guess it makes for good TV.
Vicki seemed really off. Perhaps that is her coping mechanism for the stress she is under with her divorce and Brianna's marriage. I do not see how any of these ladies go can enjoy themselves on vacation with her- she is so high strung.
As annoying and obnoxious as Alexis is, I felt bad for her at the dinner. If any of those women really felt strongly enough to say something about her vanity then they should have done it one on one. I think Heather tried to address Terry's comment in a very low-key manner but obviously the conversation was going to escalate with all of those women sitting together.
Tamra was really annoying during that argument. No matter how calmly someone tried to explain things to Alexis, Tamra immediately jumped in and started talking or making a side comment. She reminded me of a little bird chirping in the background. Even though she has tamed herself this season I still think she is a hateful person deep down!
It amazes me that they think SHE is materialistic and shallow!! HELLO?? Are you fucking kidding me??? She (alexis) annoys me too but I did feel bad for her, I do not think she is a mean person like Tamara she just isnt bright.
Vicki was so annoying. She is terribly high strung. I don't know how anyone could have fun with her. I would be totally scared to do something wrong the whole time she's around.
I actually like Alexis. I do think she has this insecure quality that manifests itself in the form of shallowness, but I also think that ultimately she is kind hearted and usually has harmless intentions. Tamara on the other hand is snide and mean spirited.

I agree with everything you said.
Vicki was acting insane. She is so annoying. I don't understand how she has friends.
The "intervention" with Alexis was ridiculous. Like you all said, she's harmless. Dumb as rocks? Yes. But she in no way has bad intentions like I think Tamara has 99% of the time. Heather was trying to defend her husband and explain his comment in a calm manner. But once everyone else jumped in, it was over.
I appreciate Tamara's honesty in most situations but I feel like she just jumps at any chance to be nasty and push people down when she doesn't like them.
I was dying when Alexis kept saying the "white elephant"! I did feel bad for her though but maybe it will be a wake up call for her to stop a acting like that.
Vicki seemed unhinged, moreso than usual. It almost seemed like she was on something.
I do agree that Alexis doesn't seem mean spirirted, just dumb and trying to keep up. It seemed like Heather and Gretchen were trying to be gentle with her. It was a sensitive subject, but they were speaking calmily and quietly and really trying to give examples. Tamra on the other hand....I was starting to like her this season, but she was her old nasty self during that dinner.
I felt bad for Alexis too. Tamra was unnecessarily mean to her. I think Heather is great - she and Tamra make kind of an odd match - Heather is understated and classy and Tamra is the exact opposite. Despite that, I like their friendship.
