This week, I am joined by the host of So Bad It's Good with Ryan Bailey — Mr. Ryan Bailey himself! Together, we are sharing our BravoCon war stories. From debilitating hangovers to getting “man-handled” by security guards and partying with Real Housewives in between, we’re giving you an inside look at what really goes down during Bravo’s biggest weekend.
And obviously, since Ryan and I are both Bravo TV lovers and commentators, our conversation was flowing almost as much as the white wine in Planet Hollywood on Thursday night. That said, this episode is going to be TWO PARTS — so sit back, relax, and join us as we spill allllll the tea during Part 1 of The Reality Of: BravoCon.

Ever wish you could watch reality TV at a bar the same way people watch sports? Maddy Biebel had the same thought — so she created her own! On this episode of The Reality of Reality, Maddy shares how Reality Bar went from a simple idea to a growing community, drawing appearances from reality stars like Parvati Shallow, Joey Graziadei, and the Love Island USA season 7 cast; screening shows at bars all across Los Angeles. But she hasn’t built this alone — and she’s walking us through all the behind-the-scenes teamwork, the process of convincing bars to partner with her, and what it truly takes to launch something like this. Tune in to learn all about The Reality Of: Reality Bar.

Being on a competition show is hard enough — but try doing it anonymously. In this weeks episode, Dillian The Celebrity explains what really went down behind-the-scenes on USA’s "The Anonymous”. He reveals all the things that the cameras didn’t catch — from the house not having any showers to everyone speaking to a different “Dani”, to deleted scenes and the intense casting process. Dillian is definitely not on "silent mode" during this episode! So tune in to learn more about the reality of: The Anonymous.

So… I realized I launched this show without ever explaining the story behind it. In this episode, I’m sharing a little about me — my background in TV, how I started making reality tv content, and what inspired this whole thing!

Then, I’m unpacking why the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City and Below Deck crossover is a big deal, the story behind Lisa Barlow’s current feud with a TikToker, and a breakdown of the Love Is Blind: Denver filming timeline that’s left fans a little… confused.

Big Brother is always watching… and no one knows that better than this week’s guest, Taylor Hale. Taylor made Big Brother history as the first Black woman to ever win the game — and the first player to take home both the grand prize and America’s Favorite Houseguest.

But her journey to the top was anything but easy. Taylor’s holding nothing back about her not-so-fun time in the house, what it was really like being filmed 24/7, why the live feeds became her best friend, and yes — how she got “kidnapped” before the season even started.

She also spills on life beyond the Big Brother walls: from winning Miss Michigan and Miss Congeniality (yes, that’s a real thing - not just a movie!) to hosting Big Brother Unlocked, running The Amazing Race with fellow Big Brother alum Kyland Young, and the many reality TV shows she’s been asked to do but hasn’t done… yet 👀

Want to know what really goes on in that Big Brother house? Then listen up as Taylor Hale dives into The Reality Of: Big Brother.

Working for Lisa Vanderpump isn’t exactly a walk through the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden! And on this weeks episode of The Reality of Reality, chef Anthony Bar and Dominic DeAngelis talk about what was cooking behind the scenes in LVP’s European villas. From hanging with Mormon Wives to living with Stassi and Beau - they even reveal that they’ve BOTH been on reality tv before! (Anyone remember Dom on “Reality House” with Trisha Paytas? 👀). If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen because this Vanderpump Villa tea is HOT!

It’s the show that got us through quarantine… about people literally being quarantined! Netflix’s “The Circle” became our pandemic obsession, and at the center of it all was this weeks guest, Courtney Revolution! He’s spilling the tea about what it was really like living in isolation, how production prioritized their mental health, interacting with producers everyday but never knowing what they looked like, and SO much more. Courtney also reveals which other reality shows wanted him, and why he hasn’t been on them (yet). Hey Circle - start Courtney’s episode so we can learn all about the reality of: The Circle.

We’re taking a time machine back to the Truth Booth that started it all with Shanley from Are You The One? Season 1. She’s spilling everything about the crash outs, the fights, the crying, the hookups, and yes… the unlimited alcohol courtesy of “the bat phone.” And find out why after appearing on multiple reality shows, Shanley swears she’ll never do an MTV show again. We're getting into the nitty gritty of it all, because according to Shanley, she doesn’t think she’s under any contracts anymore… So join us as we talk about what really went down and dig into the reality of Are You The One?

I’ve been obsessed with reality TV ever since Snooki first fist-pumped her way onto my screen in 2009. After spending 10 years working behind the camera in Hollywood, I decided to turn my passion into a full-time gig and start talking about reality TV online (do what you love, right?).

My background in TV production mixed with my reality TV obsession is what inspired me to create this show. On this podcast, I chat with your favorite reality stars as they spill the tea on what REALLY goes down behind the camera.

I’ll be interviewing everyone—from household names to the forgotten icons you didn’t know you missed. So, calling all reality TV lovers: come join me as we uncover The Reality of Reality.
