Doctor Kay is back to solo while Doctor Ray is away (for pleasure this time!) and is eager to share her theory for when West and Amanda first hooked up. If you’ve been following the Scamanda timeline, then you know it was established pretty early on that the purported start date of Spring 2026 was false…but how false are we talking? Check out Dr. Kay’s theory, as she unpacks episodes 13-15 of Summer House Season 10, mining only the bits & bobs relevant to Scamanda and tying in contemporary data points to help build her case.

For Reality Check, Dr. Kay unpacks the suggestions of having three lifetime loves, as antidotal to the shaming cultural narrative about divorce and stepfamilies.

REALITY TEST WITH US: When do YOU think Amanda and West first started hooking up? What’s your theory? Or why do you dis/agree with Dr. Kay’s theory? EMAIL US about it! Realitycheckpodding@gmail.com.

O=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oReality 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!
