We chat about the Osefo's financial issues and Erika not visiting Tom in jail. We break down Stacey on QVC, our feelings on Mauricio's stupid laugh and Dorit's divorce. And of course we chat about Deanna's substack and podcast "How to Be Less Old" and what the youths are listening to and how they are wearing their socks (hint: ankles are out!).

Want more Pink Shade?

Ever find yourself yelling at the TV during a particularly outrageous episode of a reality show? You’re not alone. Pink Shade: Reality TV with MP is that conversation, hosted by Mary Payne Gilbert, who dives deep into the shows that dominate our watercooler talk. This isn't just a summary of what happened; it's a sharp, funny, and often cathartic breakdown of the drama, the decisions, and the sheer audacity we witness on screen. Mary Payne brings her unique perspective to each recap, joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts who add their own flavor to the discussion. New episodes drop three times a week, keeping pace with the relentless flow of content from franchises like WeTV's Love After Lockup universe and TLC's sprawling 90 Day Fiancé saga. Tuning into this podcast feels like grabbing a drink with friends who are just as invested in the absurdity and occasional heart of modern reality television. You'll get analysis, plenty of laughs, and the satisfying sense that someone is articulating exactly what you were thinking from your couch. For anyone who loves to dissect the intricate, messy lives played out on these shows, Pink Shade offers the perfect weekly companion.
