For the first recap episode of 2025, Dr.s Kay & Ray are summarizing and discussing The Traitors, season 3, episodes 1-2! For their check-in, Dr. Ray talks reno & Dr. Kay talks about our brand new Patreon.

Dr.s Kay & Ray developed BRAND NEW psychology-focused segments while recapping gaming shows, trying them out for the first time with The Traitors. For example, what psychological concept would make a given game tactic or strategy more SUCCESSFUL? Which player is playing a strategically/politically SMART OR SLOPPY game? Danielle Reyes, Bob the Drag Queen, Carolyn, Boston Rob, & Derrick were discussed at length. Dr.s Kay & Ray will finish recapping the first trio of episodes next week, along with the new episode!

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!
