Dr. Kay and Dr. Ray return after a break to psychologically examine the Love Island season 8 reunion. They discuss internalized racism, the sexualization of reality television, racial and sexist dynamics among the cast, ableism, friendship conflict, and what meaningful accountability should look like. They discuss where Ariana’s hosting fell short, with a particular focus on all of the sexualization and fetishization of the castmates. The episode closes with a call to learn from conflict without becoming consumed by it: “Wear it at all, but wear it lightly.”
REALITY TEST WITH US: What did you think of Ariana’s question at the reunion for Carl: “Are you handling all of that, Carl?”

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!
