SUMMER SCHOOL: WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?

Dr. Mali and Dr. Rule convene to discuss what is on their summer watching lists and why. We do a Spring Semester round up of the shows we covered this past spring, and talk about what we are obsessed with. Vanderpump Rules? Alone? Real Housewives? Dr. Collins argues for the urgency of watching VPR as an exercise for all theater students, and Dr. Rule lectures us on the importance of recognizing indigenity in naturalist/survival shows like Survivor and Outcast.</p><br /><strong>Reality 101 is a Black & Indigenous feminist podcast for students of reality tv, co-hosted by Dr. Mali Collins and Dr. Elizabeth Rule.</strong></p><strong>Sign up for exclusive content on our </strong><a href="http://patreon.com/rlty101podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Patreon.com/rlty101podcast</strong></a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/rlty101podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>!</strong></a></p><strong>Like!

90 DAY FIANCÉ: THE OTHER WAY, SEASON 4, EPISODE 15&16

Part II coverage on the weird finale or tell all mash up. Gabe refuses to accept cultural context, and Nicole manipulates the entire stage, and the Ms. Debbie's outfit steals the show. Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali continue to rant about Islamophobia and the shitty editing. Also, did you know what a Texas Margarita is? Dr. Rule, the native Texan, has to ask Dr. Mali. 😌</p><br /><br /></p><strong>Reality 101 is a Black & Indigenous feminist podcast for students of reality tv, co-hosted by Dr. Mali Collins and Dr. Elizabeth Rule.</strong></p><strong>Sign up for exclusive content on our </strong><a href="http://patreon.com/rlty101podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Patreon.com/rlty101podcast</strong></a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/rlty101podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>!</strong></a></p><strong>Like!

90 DAY FIANCÉ: THE OTHER WAY, SEASON 4, EPISODE 14

Sweaty basketball, absent partners, cheese puff towers, and improper editing. Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali remain confused at literally everyone on this show. Join us for a little Part I break of our sort-of, but maybe, but not really beginning of the finale.

MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT, SEASON 16, EPISODE 19 & 20

Half prepping for D-Day and half D-Day, we watch most couples give their answers and those PAs finally get their spot on the shows as "boxing instructors" and "Guy at Bar #1 and #2." Dr. Mali and Dr. Rule continue ranting about the editing issues of this season and whether or not they're ethical! They also discuss respectability politics, how and why matches were made based on false notions of who is "smart," or "accomplished," and whether or not MAFS is worth it next season. Do you think it is?</p><br /><strong>Reality 101 is a Black & Indigenous feminist podcast for students of reality tv, co-hosted by Dr. Mali Collins and Dr. Elizabeth Rule.</strong></p><br /><strong>Follow us on:</strong></p><br /><strong>TikTok: @RLTY101</strong></p><strong>Twitter: @RLTY101</strong></p><strong>Instagram: @RLTY101</strong></p> Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rlty101 and https://www.patreon.com/rlty101podcast <a href="https://plus.acast.com/s/rlty101" rel="payment" target="_blank">https://plus.acast.com/s/rlty101</a>.</p> <br /><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.

90 DAY FIANCÉ: THE OTHER WAY, SEASON 4, EPISODE 12 &13

Oussama surprises us all, Jen plans a culturally-insensitive ambush, Danielle plays with fire, and Nicole plans the ultimate power move. Dr. Mali finds out she has the same tarot cards of Danielle, and it's not exactly something to be proud of. Dr. Rule continues to plan the podcast's vacation to Columbia. This is probably our biggest episode yet, which makes sense, because the season is getting dramatic and steamy!</p><br /><br /></p><strong>Reality 101 is a Black & Indigenous feminist podcast for students of reality tv, co-hosted by Dr. Mali Collins and Dr. Elizabeth Rule.</strong></p><strong>Sign up for exclusive content on our </strong><a href="http://patreon.com/rlty101podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Patreon.com/rlty101podcast</strong></a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/rlty101podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>!</strong></a></p><strong>Like!

LOVE IN PARADISE, S3, EPISODES 1–3

Juan and Jessica are in for a rude awakening, Scott and Lydia are our new contestants in Dr. Rule and Dr. Mali's favorite game called, "What have you been talking about for a year?", and Valentine and Carlos have Dr. Mali ranting about bisexuality and penetration, like she was born to do.</p><br />We are so excited that Love in Paradise is here to rescue us from our hell of<strong> </strong>banality that is MAFS Season 16. We mashed the first three episodes into one so we could introduce you to each couple and get a little drama all in one episode.
