Pink Shade: Reality TV with MP

MP is joined by Kimberly of A Date with Dateline to talk about the latest episode of Love During Lockup (Catch and Release). We agree that Gabby is spoiled and wonder just how much Chris’ mom hates her. We think Tai should stick with Angel, a real live man. We like Santiba’s vibe but didn’t love her questionable boudoir photo shoot! We don’t care about Max and his fake story line but we REALLY nee...

MP chats with Ryan Bailey of the podcast, So Bad It’s Good With Ryan Bailey. Ryan has a fountain of knowledge about all things pop culture and Bravo! He tells us about his imagined feud with MGK and Khloe K/Tristan and how he too has decided to rename himself RYNE. We chat about RHOC and RHSLC and if you want to hear us shoot the breeze about VPR, head over to Pink Shade Bunkies on Patreon! (Link...

MP is joined by Katie of A Date with Dateline to talk about Before the 90 Days. Katie rescinds her assertion from earlier in the season that Caleb and Alina are going to make it. MP actually thinks Gino and CrazyPants might make it. I mean, they will make it - or she will murder him. We also have high hopes for Mike - maybe not Mike and Ximena. Mahogany is not real and Ben is having an epic mid li...

MP and Erin break down this episode of Love DURING Lockup called "The Secret Stash." Does Gabby know she’s laundering money? Does Max know we know he’s not really into inmates and also not really good at acting? Does Santiba know she’s cute and doesn’t need Talsey? Does Haley’s ex Jarrett know someone colored on his face with a Sharpie? And, do the loved ones at Tai’s funeral home know she’s using...

Erin & Mary Payne are finally reunited to recap BT90, and whoa, do they have a lot of trash to talk! Erin ponders on the many splendored ways she loathes DJ CAH-LEB, and wonders WTF is really under Gino's hat. MP & Erin both weirdly love watching Jasmine on TV, but are scared she might murder Gino with her bare hands. Both of them pray that Mike isn't also "offed" by one of Ximena's exes....

Erin returns to the podcast just in time for a new amazing shitshow, Love DURING Lockup! We have no hopes for any of these couples but we are grateful and blessed that we are getting to follow their fairytales! There’s Tai, the mortician, who has many men on her murder boards, but her favorite is named HOTTIE. There’s Haley who has Oreo hair, a heart tattoo on her face and love for a rich kid gone...

Mary Payne and special bunkie Amye Archer talk about The Single Life, S2 (ep 8) and the season finale of The Family Chantel. It's been quite a holiday season, amirite? We have stupid Omicron floating around ruining it for everyone and as you are listening MP is NOT on her trip. Omicron ruined the holidays for Amye AND MP! Happy New Year! Oh and some fun news... Amye tells us all about her new podc...

Mary Payne talks with Kim of 90 Day Fiance Cray Cray about this week’s episode of 90 Day Fiance Before the 90 Days (#BT90) This episode is called FIRST DATES, SECOND THOUGHTS and the title fits! Gino realizes he is dealing with a total psycho and he has to decide if this is a life he wants to live. We think - it’s not worth it. SuperFan Kim arrives in Tanzania and solidifies her “potential” status...

Mary Payne chats with the hilarious Keisha of The Libra Lounge with Keisha about RHSLC and RHOC. We chat about Mary M. Cosby and her super inappropriate comments. The whole lunch scene on RHSLC this week was wild! We take a side tour through Kardashian land… and then talk about the OC. Why was Heather Dubrow pulling out all her acting techniques this week? And what is up with Noella and why is Nic...

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is talking about Before the 90 Days with 1/3 of her throuple, it’s Katie from A Date With Dateline! Right out of the gate, Katie tells us she actually has hope for one of these couples… you will have to listen to find out which one. MP has zero hope for any of them. Caleb has super long hair and meets with his parents - and we find out he grew up in a super Christian...

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is chatting with our special LALU correspondent, Kimberly from A Date With Dateline, about the FINALE! This episode is titled Prison Promises and it was SUPER LONG. We find out that Ray PROMISES to marry Britney by the end of the year… well, it’s almost the end of the year, so did it happen? We sadly see that BonnieKristy is still missing although Instagram shows us...

Mary Payne talks with Kyle of 90 Day Fiance Cray Cray about this week’s premiere episode of 90 Day Fiance Before the 90 Days (aka BT90)! Kyle and MP both have a lot of opinions on Caleb and Gino. If Steven and Larry had a kid, it would be Gino! We aren’t sure what to make of Jasmine, but we do know what to make of Baby Girl Kim and it ends in heartbreak. And, we hope for the best but prepare for t...

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is chatting with Kimberly from A Date With Dateline about the “almost finale” episode of LALU! This episode is lazily titled Bitter Baby Mamas and BaeCations. Really, WeTV? Who is writing these titles? We are really hoping Amber and Puppy aren’t near a mountain edge or it’s gonna be a full Thelma and Louise situation! We have real fear that Ray is gonna bust out a pr...

Mary Payne talks with friend Mandy Slutsker of the "Is this Real Life?" podcast. MP is always so impressed with Mandy’s Bravo knowledge and hot takes. We have to talk about our favorite show, VPR, and the rumors about what went down at the reunion. We chat about why we think RHOSLC is the best show on Bravo right now. We are here for the return of Heather Dubrow on RHOC and LOVE Gina’s energy… but...

Mary Payne talks with the hilarious Matt of the podcast Reality Gays about the 90 Day Fiance The Other Way Tell All. Wow, this was quite a journey. We agree that we liked Ari’s takes on everyone’s situation but her own. We just cannot believe that Alina is going to stick with Steven, but she’s going to have to either be 5150'd by her mom or learn her lesson the hard way and we just hope they don’t...

Erin is on break so Mary Payne is chatting with some truly amazing co-hosts… like today’s guest Kimberly from A Date With Dateline! While we are impressed with Nicole’s public restroom makeup vanity, we were not impressed with Daonte’s fake car wreck and sneaking up on the wedding. We don’t care about Shawn proposing to Sara but we do think she’s currently pregnant with his 7th child. We don’t thi...

Mary Payne chats with the hilarious Keisha of 'The Libra Lounge with Keisha' about the various things going on in the Bravoverse! Keisha, as always, has some REAL opinions so don’t come at MP with the DMs. (That’s a joke, we’re just joking! It’s all jokes. Seriously, don’t come at me.) Keisha has never really watched all of RHONY so she’s fascinated by Ramona and LuAnn on RHUGT! She promises to wa...
