Doctor Kay is joined again by Doctor Ray at long last! They get to discuss their personal theories about Scamanda timelines and relationships, before dipping into the topic areas for today’s episode. Dr.s Kay & Ray start with the ways in which Amanda’s & West’s purported timeline was challenged by their own admissions in the Bonus Episode. Then, the doctors challenge three themes that arose across the reunion and bonus episodes of Summer House Season 10. Specifically, they challenge the objectification and villainizing of black castmates on Summer House, KJ being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) while in the hospital, and the popular response going around the other podcasts of “if being married to Kyle was so bad, why did Amanda stay with him?”.

REALITY TEST WITH US: Do you agree with the other podcasters that Amanda should have left Kyle if she was so unhappy? Or do you agree with Dr.s Kay & Ray that relationships are more complicated than that? EMAIL US about it! Realitycheckpodding@gmail.com.

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!
