Vanderpump Rules Ep.s 1-6 | Producers need to give Ariana a break

Reality Test

Dr.s Kay & Ray discuss themes from the first six episodes of Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. They talk about all of the main castmates and their relationships with one another. At the end, Dr. Ray offers the second Mental Health Check-Up (MHCU) segment about narcissism.
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 Reality Test with us!
