And the full video episode (minus the first 20mins we neglected to video record!), found on Patreon.

Dr.s Kay and Ray recap and discuss both parts of the Summer House season 9 reunion. From Ciara’s vulnerable and heartfelt sharing, to the Lexi & Solomon (in matching outfits!) of it all, an abundance of sexism and a stark lacking of apologies were evident throughout. 

Which apologies did you find to be lacking? Which moments did you find to be sexist or patriarchal? Let’s just say Dr.s Kay & Ray had more than 2 examples of “sociopolitical content” when applying their six segments to the recap!

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.

This is the video excerpt of episode 93, and the full video is on Patreon.com/RealityTest

The full audio is wherever you get your pods, including Apple & Spotify.

Dr.s Kay and Ray dole out their 8 awards to any reality television shows they watched in the months of April & May, 2025: The Valley, Summer House, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Southern Charm, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and, on Netflix, Battle Camp and Million Dollar Secret. 

If you haven’t heard of Netflix’s shows, Battle Camp & Million Dollar Secret, they each offer a new premise for challenge-focused reality television–the former a mix between The Challenge and Perfect Match, and the latter a mix between Anonymous and The Trust. The players from Squid Game: The Challenge stole the screen time on Battle Camp, although for different reasons for each. 

Which of these shows did you watch? Which awards would you give them? For example, our “TESTosterboned” award is given to a reality TV castmate or moment where testosterone boned the acting party and led to a particularly patriarchal (racist, heterosexist) result, in any variety of ways. We call the opposite award, “The Bechdel TEST” (each award has “test” in the name, given our show’s name!), which we give to the most feminist, anti-racist or queer moments or castmates of a given month. To whom or what moment might you give these two awards? To whom or what moment might we have?

Dr.s Kay and Ray discuss the third part of the reunion of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, season 14. Garcelle’s self-confidence to quit the show is well-founded and impressive, whereas Sutton’s lack of true concern for Garcelle or for being an ally is tough to watch.

Dr.s Kay and Ray discuss the first two parts of the reunion of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, season 14. Dr. Kay starts her theory for why Garcelle was so upset, on top of the historical racist mistreatment of her on the show. From the Kyle & Dorit to the Sutton & Dorit to the Garcelle & Dorit of it all, here she comes! Here she comes.

Dr.s Kay and Ray share their separate top 5 moments from season 3 of White Lotus, without having previously discussed–while there was some overlapping concepts, the 10 moments ended up being (almost entirely) unique! 

What were your top 5 (or top 10!) moments of this season? Any overlaps with Dr. Kay’s & Dr. Ray’s?
