Except... something is off this season. There are just way too many men on my screen.

For some reason, the husbands of Momtok have gone from being background characters who did "Dadtok" as a silly little side joke to it being a whole thing, with the men getting a lot of screentime in Season 4.
Hulu
It seems to be mainly driven by Jordan, Demi's husband, and the self-proclaimed leader of Dadtok. He is to Dadtok what Gretchen Weiner is to fetch. He even gets his manager to organize a trip for the dads to Vanderpump Villa, despite all the drama it previously caused in his own marriage.
Hulu
Things get messy at the Villa, naturally, but the mess between the men ends up taking up a huuuuge chunk of Season 4 plot, to the point where the women's stories start to take a backseat.
Hulu
The ladies themselves don't seem to love it, as they have openly mocked "Dadtok" in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
> @entertainmenttonight ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ cast has their reasons why #DadTok gives them the ick. #momtok #secretlivesofmormonwiveshulu #secretlivesofmormonswives

And it's safe to say I'm not the only one watching this season who is baffled by the Dadtok takeover. Here are some reactions I felt in my bones...
