    Reality testing is when we check an emotion or thought we’re having against objective reality. 

    So, here in Reality Test, we’re going to be testing the thoughts, emotions, interactions, and producer antics of reality television against what we know, as licensed psychologists, about objective reality. 

    Come with us, let’s Reality Test!

  • HEATED RIVALRY: Haters to Lovers! [Part II] ::} 119

    Episode Video: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-episode-to-149555731

    We couldn’t go on with awards before going on with Heated Rivalry! So, Dr.s Kay and Ray finish unpacking Heated Rivalry, now that Dr. Kay was able to see it, too. They discuss the themes they had started: why do women of all sexual identities seem so drawn to this show? Do actors who play gay characters need to disclose their own sexual identities? Then, Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss other themes and topic areas of interest. 

    Next week, Dr.s Kay & Ray will return to the second half of the annual awards!

    What do you think: Did you watch Heated Rivalry? Do you think it would have been different if you knew both actors were gay or bi+?

  • HEATED RIVALRY! + Annual Awards Show Part 1 ::} 118

    Episode Video: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-episode-1-149383252


    First off, we’ve missed you! Heated Rivalry, you? Dr. Ray brings in her views on all things Heated Rivals & its parasocial context, convincing Dr. Kay that she needs to get out on the ice immediately! Then, award season continues as Doctors Kay and Ray give their UNIQUE ANNUAL AWARDS to any of the castmates and moments from all of the reality TV shows they watched over the past YEAR! Dr.s Kay & Ray award shows like Below Deck, The Real Housewives Franchise, Traitors, Love is Blind, and the recent season of Survivor with awards like, “Best Sociopolitical Learning Opportunity” and “Most Healing (for us to watch) Representation of Mental Health”! 

    Themes include racism, sexism, consent, and feminist corrective relational experiences! 

    This is only part 1 of Annual Awards because Dr.s Kay & Ray spent some time catching up with each other & you all, as well as an extended time on Reality Check! So, the next episode of annual awards will be a continuation, with just the rest of the awards.

    For the Reality Check, Dr. Kay shared about the relatively recent shift in psychological literature away from the historical diminishment of “gossip” and towards a look at its values. Then, Dr. Kay shared her favorite poem about “Women’s Talk”.

    What do you think: Do you think there is value to “gossip” or “women’s talk”? Relatedly, what do you think about the main actors of Heated Rivalry not disclosing their sexual identities? Can it be both: that they’re fully entitled to avoid labeling themselves (or disclosing really any information about their romantic and sexual lives) publicly–of course–and also that not knowing changes how we see their sex scenes, just as knowing one way or the other would?

    The good ol’ AWARDS SHOW format is back, babies, as Doctors Kay and Ray assign their standard 8 awards to any of the castmates and moments from all of the reality TV shows they watched over the past month! Dr.s Kay & Ray award shows like the new Vanderpump Rules, Squidgames Challenge, Southern Charm, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, with awards like, “ProTEST this Mess” and “Doing the MosTEST”! All of the awards have “Test” in the title, as this is Reality TEST, after all!

    Themes include racism, toxic relationships, affirmations, and feminist corrective relational experiences! 

    But first, Reality Check! Dr.s Kay & Ray bring in psychological studies of interest. This week, they focus on bisexual media representation and the association between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and accelerated aging.

  • Producer Antics on Selling Sunset Reunion | Season 9 ::} 116

    Doctors Kay & Ray wrap their Selling Sunset Reunion Recap! They spill the rest of the mental health tea that boiled over the top of their first episode on the season 9 reunion! Dr.s Kay & Ray use their standard 6 psychology-related segments to unpack the second half of the reunion, talking about what they wished people knew more about and sociopolitical topics that came up. 

    Themes include racism, mom shaming, producer antics, and the use of deflection to avoid responsibility. They spend some time focusing on Chelsea’s careful navigation of defending herself against Mary’s personal attacks while not decentering Mary, so as to avoid being further attacked. Dr. Kay also raises that Mary accusing production of manipulating the flower-sending saga further proves the point they’ve long discussed about producers being far more involved in reality TV shows than they suggest.

    No Reality Check this week, as this was a follow-up episode! For Check-ins, however, Dr. Ray shares her reactions to the Diddy documentary and they go in depth into their thoughts on his vicious, horrific crimes.

    What do you think: Was Chelsea genuine in sending Mary flowers following the robbery?

  • Bicon Crishell, Pronouns & MAGA on Selling Sunset Reunion | Recap | Season 9 ::} 115

    Episode Video: https://www.patreon.com/posts/video-episode-on-145912107


    Selling Sunset Pivot! Doctors Kay & Ray spill the mental health tea boiling over the top of the season 9 reunion! There is so much tea in this particular reunion, that they only got halfway through in this first hour. Dr.s Kay & Ray use their standard 6 psychology-related segments to unpack the first half of the reunion, talking about what producers would have done differently if they were psychologists, and what they would want to work on in therapy with a given castmate. 

    Themes include unresolved trauma + traumatic loss, image management + elitism, cocaine accusations, homophobia + cissexism, MAGA + slurs, and pronoun use. Whew! Look at all that sociopolitical discussion fodder! Bi+ icon (bicon) Crishell’s relational conflicts--some due to her relational boundary-setting around MAGA beliefs, given her bi+ identity and non-binary partner--seem to predominate the reunion, which Dr.s Kay & Ray dive deep into (and will again next episode!).

    To add to the fun, Dr. Ray has seen the season and every season prior, whereas Dr. Kay hasn’t watched since season 3; so, Dr. Kay is unaware of the recent dynamics fueling the various conflicts, but better able to make connections to the early seasons, whereas Dr. Ray is able to offer context and suggestions for what else to prioritize watching in season 9 (like the pink bathroom!). 

    Reality Check! Where Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss psychological studies of interest to you–or, at least, to them! :) This week, they discuss the “burying your gays” concept being applied to reality TV and feminist institutional analysis of rape culture & sexual violence! 

    What do you think: Is "MAGA" a slur?

    As our listeners know, all award titles have TEST in them, as this is Reality TEST, after all! Themes include stuffed animals, mean girls, & girls’ girl confrontations. 

    Reality Check! Where Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss psychological studies of interest to you–or, at least, to them! :) This week, they discuss studies about gender essentialism on reality TV and slam poetry, in the wake of Andrea Gibson’s documentary being released!

    Doctor Kay and Doctor Ray spill the mental health tea on reality TV with their second installment of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) Season 6 recap! This time, they assign their 8 AWARDS to scenes and castmates from episodes 5-7! For example, moments like Brit’s opening story in her long-overdue visit with Olivia, or Lisa’s painful self-revealing reactions to Bronwyn questioning whether someone was feeding the hungry BlogBeast, were assigned such awards as Doing the MosTEST (most cringe) or TESTimonial (best/worst confessional) awards. As our listeners know, all award titles have TEST in them, as this is Reality TEST, after all! Themes include relational bullying, social cues, and inappropriate behaviors of those in power towards those without. 

    Reality Check! Doctors Kay & Ray discuss a study specifically about what makes a successful Real Housewife and a study about adult relational bullying (HINT: it happens at the same rates as it does in adolescence!).

    Doctor Kay & Doctor Ray spill the mental health tea on reality TV with talk of all things Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (RHOSLC) Season 6, episodes 1-4. They cover topics from sandwich generations and helicopter parenting to lateral relational aggression and sexist, sizeist, ageist name-calling. They discuss the varying ways the women have grown, become more grounded, learned from last season, or gone off the rails, as well as their parenting skills, conflict behaviors, relational skills, religious influences, and here & now process comments.

    For “Reality Check”, Doctors Kay & Ray continue the conversation about racial bias in language and discuss the rates of trauma exposure in the US.

    What do you think: would being on reality TV amount to, essentially, a trauma on its own?
