Pink Shade: Reality TV with MP

Erin is taking a podcast break for a while, so Mary Payne talks Bravo with Ryan Bailey of the So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey podcast. Ryan studies these shows we all love and is always so fun to chat with! We talk about the current status of VPR and what may happen in the future. We also go over the Real Housewives of Potomac Reunion, Part One. And, of course we had to talk about Real Housewive...

As most of you know, Erin is taking a break to deal with her mental health and we love and support her as she takes this time off. This week, Mary Payne is joined by Katie of A Date with Dateline podcast to talk about this week’s 90Day TOW (not “Tao”). We feel Sumit is out of options and we love the reverse psychology being played by Mother Sumit! We still want to know WHAT HAPPENED in Bini’s hous...

Mary Payne is joined by Kimberly of A Date with Dateline podcast to talk about this week’s Life After Lockup episode, “Confessions of a Serial Liar." Wow, Stan is really leaning in to this whole “old man and his underwear” thing, right? Shawn and Sara go to Pound Town and then he tells her he actually DOES have kids (just 6) and WAS engaged to another inmate. Britney overreacts and Cousin Bink is...

At the beginning of the show, Mary Payne explains why Erin is taking a break again. MP is joined by Producer Ingrid to briefly discuss Vanderpump Rules, Real Housewives of Potomac, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We go deep into episode 4 of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion! Follow Producer Ingrid on Instagram at @ingridonstrings ( http://instagram.com/ingirdonstrings ) and on Twitt...

Mary Payne chats with “friend of the pod” Katie of A Date with Dateline podcast about 90 Day Fiance The Other Way: “Stop the Excuses!" Neither one of us watched the scene with Sumit’s parents and the nose holes and we are NOT sorry about it! We have LOTS of thoughts on Steven and Alina as well as Kenny and Armando. Can’t Kenny just get his sunset vows? We didn’t see much of Ellie and Victor but we...

Mary Payne chats with Bunkie Amye Archer about this week’s Life After Lockup, "Put a Ring On It." Amye lives for the Stan and Lisa segments and can’t wait for Lisa’s revenge! We feel happy that Nicolle Sr. and Tia look happy and healthy and feel sad that Daonte still thinks Nicolle Sr. will one day come back to him. We think Shawn and Sara’s mom look like a better match than Shawn and Sara... and...

Erin is joined by our beloved Bunkie, Keisha of "The Libra Lounge With Keisha" podcast (click below to follow!). They talk about the first two parts of the RHOBH reunion in preparation for parts 3 & 4 - which they hope allow other people to speak, like Crystal. (Is she still on this couch? Does she need a snack? Why isn't anyone paying attention to her? #SaveCrystal) Keisha & Erin react to...

Mary Payne & Erin recap this week's 90DF TOW, which highlights just how savage Mother Sumit can be (and we're here for it). Erin wonders if Sumit's hair is trying to reach the grease level of Jenny's, and MP would like a specific roach count in their filthy kitchen. Two Bunkie Trademarks emerge this week as MP described Ari's look and Erin discusses Binyam's sisters loving to torture her. Prop...

MP and Erin dive into this week’s Love After Lockup episode, Poly Problems. Yes, we are concerned about Nicolle Sr’s “jitters” and how Tia is slowly becoming The Godfather. This Lacey and Shane fakery is annoying to us but not as annoying as the fakery of Britney and Ray’s scenes. We feel for Kristianna’s mom, Tammy, and pray the demons let go of Terra so she can object at the wedding! And like la...

Mary Payne chats with Tiffany Reese of the amazing podcast, Something Was Wrong. MP has chatted with Tiffany 2 other times on Payne in the Pod (episode 27 and 70) and feels lucky to talk to her again! They chat about the bonkers crazy story in Season 9 of SWW and how Season 10 will be different than past seasons. We also go off topic, as per usual, and talk about podcasts we love and the intersect...

Mary Payne & Erin discuss this week's 90DF: The Other Way. As we drink the Devil's Coffee, we wonder why Steven (with a V) is still allowed to be in Mother Alina's presence. Kenny & Armando have a heartwarming visit to a local orphanage. And Jenny gets read for LITERAL FILTH by Mama & Daddy Sumit. Time stamp: Chit chat ends at 12:35.Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (...

MP and Erin talk about the shocking SHANE twist at the end of this week’s Love After Lockup episode! We applaud Lisa for her sleuthing skills and wonder by 4pm seems to be Stan’s magic hour? Erin thinks Britney’s story is totally fake and MP thinks Amber shouldn’t poke the bear that is Sammy and his C.Everett Koop facial hair. We pray that the demons stay away from Kristiana and wonder how often B...

Mary Payne & Erin review the week in Bravo, and Good Lord, bless this mess because there's so much going on! We can't believe how low Candiace is going with her insults on Potomac, but we were glad to see the shockingly calm (and dare we say, mature?) conversation between Brooks Marks & Jen Shah on Salt Lake. Over on Vanderpump Rules, James Kennedy continues to win us over with his sweet p...

Erin & Mary Payne discuss the wreckage of every relationship on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way - except for Kenny & Armando! We still believe in their love! Will Evelin actually kick Corey out? Will Jenny be literally eaten by wild monkeys? Who knows. But we do hope SteVen WITH A V gets run over by a truck before he can deep-throat another Turkish chocolate. Follow us on Twitter & Instag...

Mary Payne and Erin talk about the Life After Lockup episode “Not One To Mess With”. We are disgusted by Stan’s gray banana hammock but LOVE Lisa’s “Jim from the Office” stare at the camera. We continue to be grossed out by Mouth Hole and continue to be intrigued by Britney’s alter ego. We don’t love Puppy or Amber’s boyfriends but we do love Nika, Donate’s mom! And, we get a field report from our...

Mary Payne is joined by the uber talented and hilarious Amy Phillips of Reality Checked on Sirius XM (on Radio Andy). We break down this week’s 3 housewives franchises as well as Vanderpump Rules. Amy is always entertaining and blesses us with many impersonations - Kathy, Kyle, Erika, Lisa Barlow, Mary Cosby, Lisa Vanderpump and DJ James Kennedy! You can listen to Amy 5 days a week on Reality Chec...

It’s the glorious return of Erin to the podcast! This time for a recap of 90 Day Fiance The Other Way (Proceed With Caution) with Mary Payne, Erin's real life #SisterWifeForLife. There's lots to catch up on this season, but Erin's main questions are: Why does Jenny still believe Sumit will marry her? And how did her hair get even DIRTIER this season? Who is this Victor character, really? Can Ari p...

It’s the glorious return of Erin to the podcast! Erin is so grateful that she was able to take the time to focus on her mental health and encourages anyone feeling they need a break to take one. She thanks Mary Payne as well as all the other podcasters who stepped in to help during her absence. But most importantly, we had to talk about these characters on this week’s LALU (The Sober Truth). We ar...

Erin is coming back to the Pink Shade Podcast next week, so she wanted to shoot y'all a little thank you message. Erin will be making an even earlier debut on our Hey Bunkie Patreon feed this weekend, so head on over there on or before Oct 2nd (links below) to listen to our recap of Welcome To Plathville and Darcey & Stacey. Bunkies, we can't WAIT to be reunited! #SisterWivesForLife  Follow us...

Back by popular demand, Mary Payne chats with the hilarious Keisha of The Libra Lounge about this week’s 90 Day TOW (Facing Fears). Wow, what an episode. We had tears! We had hitchhiking! We had hurricane devastation! We had family drama! We had cheating and secret marriage! And, finally, we had holy water! Take a listen to Keisha’s podcast The Libra Lounge with Keisha wherever you get your podcas...

Mary Payne is chatting with our LALU correspondent Kimberly from A Date With Dateline podcast! We are dumbfounded by Lisa’s new love of the Lord. We feel pretty sure that Sara could have been an amazing LulaRoe salesperson and we don’t understand WHY Shawn moved to Ohio. We are super pumped for John and Kristiana’s wedding in the haunted hotel even if no woman in their family ever cracks a smile. ...

Mary Payne chats with Rebekah of the podcasts Criminality and Die-Alogue. Rebekah speaks our love language of reality TV and true crime! (Get it? Criminals and Reality = Criminality!). Speaking of criminals, we chat and spew opinions about the current Housewives franchises along with other cases happening in the news right now. Rebekah is a NXIVM expert and we also dive into the Murdaugh case and...

Mary Payne chats with the hilarious Keisha of The Libra Lounge with Keisha about this week’s episode of TOW. After talking about Keisha’s menagerie of animals living in her home (she has a chinchilla!), we talk about about Donate being the KING OF ALL THE SIMPS. We find out that Corey was in fact MARRIED to Evelin when he hooked up with Jenn (Not a good look, Corey). Keisha has some real strong fe...

Erin is taking a break so Mary Payne is chatting with our LALU correspondent, Kimberly from A Date With Dateline! Kimberly and MP revel in Donate’s description of Tia and still think Derrick needs his own advice show! We have a lot of feelings about Tina, the “gal" Stan was chatting with. Also, Lisa should just buy herself a suitcase next time she goes to the store with Stan’s card. We are baffled...

Mary Payne is joined by friend and fellow podcaster, Kate Casey of the podcast Reality Life with Kate Casey. Kate is known for her encyclopedic knowledge of all things reality TV and pop culture and this conversation doesn’t disappoint! MP and Kate go through all their thoughts on Jen Shah, Erika and all the Housewives shows and drama going on right now (including their love of Mia of RHOP!). The...
