Pink Shade: Reality TV with MP

Mary Payne chats with Amy Phillips of Drama, Darling about part 3 of the VPR reunion. We can all agree that Sandoval is a certified narcissist and Raquel is not playing with a full deck. We struggle to understand her reactions to the cast eviscerating her and wonder what Tom, her cult leader, will think when he sees that she admitted to the fake timeline and flat out lying.

Mary Payne chats with Kimberly about the glorious return of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days. Wow, this season already has us in our feelings and it’s only episode 1! Amanda lost her husband and is looking for love and a new parent for her kids with a Romanian Tik Tok model. Gino and Jasmine are back and at least they are funny - and totally wrong for each other. Riley has met the woman of his dr...

Mary Payne chats with Keisha of The Libra Lounge with Keisha about Match Me Abroad (s1e4) “Catch Me a Catch." We have a great story this week about Mark (that was sent in by a listener)!

And of course, we go DEEP into the latest reunion episode of Vanderpump Rule...

Mary Payne chats with Kimberly of A Date with Dateline about the final part of the 90 Day TOW reunion! Overall, we thought this was a great season.

Gabe and Isabel are perfect and should be on Pillow Talk. Nicole stand...

Katie looked great and rolled her eyes a lot. Schwartz did nothing to redeem himself and Lala was ready to fight! Scheana seems very sad and we have no idea why LVP was there. Please click here to fol...

MP chats with Keisha of The Libra Lounge with Keisha about Life After Lockup (s4e9) “Busted and Disgusted." We were VERY DISGUSTED with how Sara is using her daughter on this show.

And we were DISGUSTED with how gross TC and his kids left the house for Amber to clean and glad she’s finally leaving him. Bring on Queen...
