Why are so many of us hooked on The Kardashians, The Housewives, and every glitter-drenched reality show in between? In this refreshingly honest and hilarious Open Wide episode, Dr. Jenny and Susan unpack our collective fascination with fame, fashion, gossip, and chaos — and what it really says about the modern woman’s need for release. From People magazine nostalgia to Bravo’s designer brawls, they dig into why smart, self-aware women still crave a little mindless TV — and why that might not be a bad thing.

Together, they explore escapism, confidence, and the fine line between entertainment and influence. Are we just decompressing… or being shaped by it all? With warmth, wit, and plenty of sass, this conversation is a reminder that we can enjoy the magic show without mistaking it for real life — and that true confidence comes from knowing the difference.
