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!).

What do you think: What are the three biggest factors of what makes a successful Real Housewife, or any reality star, from your perspective?

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!

Hosts: Dr. Kay & Dr. Ray
