Reality Test

NOTE: Dr. Kay's audio is all out of whack--temporarily! Our apologies for the accidental recorder whoopsie :)

Dr.s Kay and Ray review the second half of the Queer Love season 2 (episode 6-10) with their 8 awards! To whom would you give the “ProTEST this Mess” award? Who was the most obnoxious or drunkest? Or how about the “Doing the MosTEST” award for the most cringe behavior or castmate? Find out to whom Dr.s Kay & Ray gave those awards! 

For the first time EVER, when doing awards, Dr.s Kay & Ray had the exact same answer for the first award! Maybe it would match yours, too??

After this episode, we are taking a wee break for much of August and we hope you all will get a little vacation, too! When we get back, we’ll be rolling strong with some new content, new resources for the Patreon, and new spirits! Love y’all.

Their Past Actions were Hurtful, were their Public Apologies Heartful?

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr.s Kay and Ray dive deep into Cierra’s & Yulissa’s (recent) past public use of racial slurs on social media, their subsequent removals from Love Island season 7, and their resulting public apologies on social media. Hear Cierra’s apology video on the podcast, before Dr.s Kay & Ray offer their raw and unfiltered critiques–with one host having seen it and offering digested reflections, and the other seeing it for the first time and offering instantaneous reactions. New to both hosts, Yulissa’s public apology and following reaction to cancel culture are then read and critiqued. 

Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss, more generally, their views on cancel culture, public apologies, and the lifelong journey of anti-racism. Tune in for an insightful conversation about accountability, empathy, and racial justice!

While death threats and hateful personal comments are never appropriate or called for, do you think focusing solely on one’s cancellation detracts from one’s sense of accountability?

Dr.s Kay and Ray spill all the tea on their perspectives on the debates going around Love Island fandom in response to two recent challenges that raised heart rates and aired dirty laundry. Was Huda being a "girl's girl"? Was Chelly? Was Chelly's discontent with Huda called for? What was up with Ace's time at the podium?

And what are all of YOUR thoughts about these two juicy challenges that stirred all the Love Island drama we could ask for??

This is an excerpt from the video episode, with the full video found on our Reality Test Patreon. The full audio is available wherever you get your podcasts (links at the bottom)!

Dr.s Kay and Ray are back together in person, diving deep into the latest drama from Love Island! They unpack the betrayal of Jeremiah's exit, Nic's questionable motives, and the dynamics among the cast members that have everyone talking, as the newest model of Casa Amor took off & ended in short succession. From the cringiest moments to the most obnoxious behavior, they assign their signature awards while navigating the emotional rollercoaster of the villa.

Shorter than ever before, 3-day Casa Amor included recouplings, (un)dumpings, and new castmate power! By immediately leaving one OG vulnerable, all OGs were forced to connect with new Casa castmates to keep their spots on the show. 

As they explore the intricacies of relationships and the impact of production decisions, Dr.s Kay and Ray keep it real with their psychological insights. Who’s doing the mosTEST? Who deserves the "ProTEST This Mess" award? And what’s the deal with the new coupling dynamics? Tune in to find out!

What did you think about all the twists + turns of the new Casa Amor?
