Love Island, ep.s 34-36 & Bachelorette, ep.3 | Sam Mean’s “Chaddish moment” & Sam Nice’s Accountability

Reality Test

Dr.s Kay & Ray cover episode 3 of Jenn Tran’s Bachelorette season (21), and the final episodes (34-36) of season 6 of the US version of Love Island (although Love Island is discussed more in the award episode tomorrow).
In terms of the Bachelorette, they discuss the dramas associated with Sam M(ean) & Sam N(ice), one of whom referred to himself as having a “Chaddish moment”, and the other of whom took accountability for moving fast, resulting in sociocultural discussions that run the gamut from incel to Persian cultures. Dr.s Kay & Ray also discuss patriarchal valorization of sizeism, control, and violence.

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!
