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!

This episode is all about the Housewives franchises! Ongoing female friendship drama is revisited in the premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, while the drama focus shifts to different friendships in both New York City and Salt Lake City franchises.

And the TESTosterboned (most patriarchal) award gooooes to… whom? Or, what? Hint: the Salt Lake City men bring the patronizing energy we typically get to avoid with the drama focus being on female friendships!

What about the opposite award, the Bechdel TEST (most feminist)? Or the TESTimonial award (best confessional)? To which moments or whom did the remaining 5 awards go? To whom would you want them to go?

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 The Challenge.

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!
