    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??

    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!

  • Casa Amor Chaos: Friendships and Betrayals Unraveled! | VIDEO EXCERPT | Love Island US | Ssn 7 Ep.18-21 ::} 096
    Jul 3 2025

    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?

  • Love, Drama, & Hudamaiah Island | VIDEO EXCERPT | Love Island USA | Ssn 7 Ep. 1-17 | ::} 095
    Jun 25 2025

    This is an excerpt of the video episode 95, with the FULL VIDEO found here, on our Reality Test Patreon.

    The FULL AUDIO is wherever you get your pods, including

    Apple

    Spotify

    & YouTube


    Dr.s Kay and Ray assign superlatives to the cast of Love Island USA from the first three weeks of season 7! Using the 8 awards they give during awards episodes, Dr.s Kay & Ray each share whom they felt were the most cringe, most patriarchal (TestosterBONED award!), most grown, and much more across various moments of love, drama, and Hudamaiah (among other couplings) from episodes 1-17.

    They agree on the last award–do you agree with them?

    Which couples have been your favorites? Which castmates have been the most cringe? What changes would you make to Dr.s Kay & Ray’s superlatives?

  • Apologies found Lacking & Sexism found in Abundance | VIDEO EXCERPT | Summer House Reunion
    Jun 20 2025

    This is a video excerpt of the full episode, with the full audio found here:

    on Spotify

    on Apple

    on Youtube

    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!
