QUESTION EVERYTHING

Reality Check: What TV’s Guilty Pleasures Teach Us About Ourselves


Listen Later

Natasha Scott and Justine Kay, the dynamic duo behind the podcast Two Black Girls, One Rose, join us for a deep, hilarious, and thought-provoking conversation about reality TV and its impact on culture. What started as a love for shows like Laguna Beach and The Bachelor has evolved into a platform for dissecting race, relationships, and representation in pop culture. Natasha and Justine share personal stories, insights on building their brand, and why their podcast has become more than just commentary—it's a community. Whether you’re a reality TV junkie or a casual fan, this episode will leave you laughing, reflecting, and rethinking how we consume pop culture.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • Why Laguna Beach gave them their first glimpse into a world of wild teenage freedom.
  • How Rachel Lindsay’s groundbreaking season of The Bachelorette exposed blind spots in traditional reality TV recaps.
  • The nuances of race in reality TV: what producers get wrong and what needs to change.
  • Why Couples Therapy is a must-watch for empathy lovers everywhere.
  • The cultural phenomenon of Love Is Blind and how reality TV sparks real-life connections.
  • The not-so-guilty lessons they’ve learned from reality TV—on love, friendship, and human nature.
