Every other week, Dr.s Kay & Ray review any and all of the reality TV they watched over the prior two weeks, awarding moments and/or castmates with their 8 Reality “Test” awards, while discussing the titular topics and more!

Three very important topics were raised in the Real Housewives franchises this week. Although not handled perfectly by production, this collective of topics is incredibly, and sadly, relatable for more viewers than not. Thus, some powerful themes and common reactions are raised in ways that allow viewers to learn they are not alone in facing similar themes with similar reactions. Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss the strengths & growing edges of how these themes were handled by Bravo.

Castmates and moments are given awards, including the TESTosterboned award (most patriarchal) and the Bechdel TEST (most feminist). Check out the episode to compare their choices to your own!

This week, awards went to moments & castmates from the latest seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Real Housewives of New York City, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Survivor.

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 Reality Test with us!
