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 with the gift of a MacBook Pro and a PS5. Alas, Usman doesn’t sleep in her honeymoon suite, but she’s got 2 weeks to convince him she’s the one! We are starting to hate Caleb and want better for Alina. So far, Mike is an angel on earth and we worry about what Ximena’s secret could be… I mean, what else could there be to tell? Ella is never going to meet Johnny but we do look forward to finding out more about him next week. We actually think Memphis and Hamza could be a good match, and we can’t believe we are saying that. Follow Kim and Kyle on Instagram at @90dayfiancecraycray (https://www.instagram.com/90dayfiancec

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 Nicole such a terrible friend? Be sure to follow Keisha on Insta and listen to her podcast! Take a listen to Keisha’s podcast The Libra Lounge with Keisha wherever you get your podcasts and follow her on Instagram @thelibraloungewithkeisha  (https://www.instagram.com/the_libra_lounge_with_keisha_/)or Twitter @LibraLounge (https://twitter.com/Libralounge)Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (https://www.instagram.com/pinkshadepod/) and TikTok @pinkshadepodcast (http://www.tiktok.com/@pinkshadepodcast)Join Hey Bunkie on Patreon for our bonus show recaps every week: www.patreon.com/heybunkie (https://www.patr

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 home. Alina travels with the new star of the show, Elijah. Gino giggles and baby talks his way all the way to Panama and spoiler, Jasmine is NUTS and also has a terrible laugh. Kim is headed to Tanzania to convince Usman to love her… this won’t end well. Memphis has an amazing foster sister, Ingrid, who we need to see on Pillow Talk immediately! We LOVE Mike and need him to find a local like-minded girl to share his life because Ximena is NOT THE ONE.  Take a listen to A Date With Dateline (and A Date with the Bake) anywhere you get your podcasts and follow them on Instagram @datedateline (https://www.instagram.com/

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 something different. And we think JohnClyde looks good with a Man Bob. We didn’t enjoy the Brittany/Marcelino/Amanda storyline but if that floats their boat, then we wish them the best. Also, we are still worried about the pool with no fence. We don’t like Sara’s stance on Kelly and wonder why Shawn wants to fly 6 kids to see him but can’t fly himself home for a visit? We are mad that Lacey lured ShJohn back in and hope that Shane is ok! We wish the best for Puppy (and her mom!) and hope she doesn’t marry Eric! We continue to worry about Tia’s health and wonder… will Nicolle try to have a baby with Tia’s brother? And

Mary Payne chats with her friend and actor Doug Budin of Jeff Lewis Live on Radio Andy (Sirius XM). MP and Doug talk about the current seasons of RHOC and RHSLC and meander in about 20 different other directions.

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 the worst for Memphis and Hamza. Follow Kim and Kyle on Instagram at @90dayfiancecraycray (https://www.instagram.com/90dayfiancecraycray/) and @realitycraycray (https://twitter.com/realitycraycray) on Twitter.Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (https://www.instagram.com/pinkshadepod/) and TikTok @pinkshadepodcast (http://www.tiktok.com/@pinkshadepodcast)Join Hey Bunkie on Patreon for Erin & Mary Payne’s bonus show recaps every week:  (https://www.patreon.com/heybunkie)www.patreon.com/heybunkie (http://www.patreon.com/heybunkie)Join our Pink Shade Patreon for extra chats, recaps of documentaries, bo

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 promise ring and get thrown off the lame rooftop deck party in Miami. We can’t believe Shawn is about to be a father to 7, possibly 8 (if he adopts Abby). We don’t think Kristianna is really gone and we don’t understand why John put everything in garbage bags. Over-react much? We aren’t quite sure what happened at Lacey and ShJane’s house, but we can’t wait to find out. Also, we applaud the cinematography at the end of their scenes as they both wistfully looked towards the beach. Next week is the finale and we can’t wait! Take a listen to A Date With Dateline (and A Date with the Bake) anywhere you get your podcasts an

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 that’s about it. MP predicts this is Shannon’s last season (you heard it here first!) At the end, we talk about Mandy’s career in epidemiology and her expansive knowledge of vaccines and their history (and efficacy) is always something worth hearing! TIME STAMPS - VACCINE TALK starts at 1:07:00Listen to Mandy’s podcast (Is This Real Life?) anywhere you listen to podcasts! Follow Mandy on Instagram here @mandyslutsker (http://www.instagram.com/mandyslutsker)Follow US on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (https://www.instagram.com/pinkshadepod/) and TikTok @pinkshadepodcast (http://www.tiktok.com/@pinkshadepodcast

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 have kids together while she realizes he’s a creep who will never change. We loved how Kenny put Sumit’s family in their place by saying they have tortured them for 10 years, just let it go. And did Shaun ACTUALLY think Sumit was going to tell his parents? They are holding out for the HEA season that’s coming their way! Speaking of Kenny, 3 of his 4 kids aren’t on board with him having a baby with Armando. And the biggest shocker of all - Armando grew up Mormon? That would have been good information to have. Victor has never watched the show so he had no idea what was coming his way….and he didn’t look great in thei

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 think it’s a good idea for Ray to break out the ol’ promise ring on their Miami trip. We don’t understand why Puppy won’t just call about her warrant! We are glad Kristianna has a good friend in Mo and don’t believe she runs away next week. We still STAN (like the kids say) Brittany and Marcelino and hope they had a fun trip to Pound Town! Take a listen to A Date With Dateline (and A Date with the Bake) anywhere you get your podcasts and follow them on Instagram @datedateline (https://www.instagram.com/datedateline/) and Twitter @datedateline (https://twitter.com/DateDateline).Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinks

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 watch all seasons before coming back to Pink Shade. She loves Heather Dubrow and we both have some strong feelings about Heather’s house and house tour! We touch briefly on Porsha’s new show and think this whole timeline and storyline could have been worked out on RHOA instead. We go through the Nicki Minaj episode of the RHOP reunion and MP and Keisha disagree on Gizelle’s reunion look!  Take a listen to Keisha’s podcast The Libra Lounge with Keisha wherever you get your podcasts and follow her on Instagram @thelibraloungewithkeisha  (https://www.instagram.com/the_libra_lounge_with_keisha_/)or Twitter @LibraLounge (ht

As most of you know, Erin is taking a break to deal with her mental health and we ask for love and support as she takes this time off. This week, Mary Payne is joined by Katie of A Date with Dateline to discuss the finale of 90 Day TOW “Love is Love." Wow, what a great episode with many heart warming moments. We can’t get over the beauty of Kenny and Armando’s wedding! We liked Alina’s wedding dress and location and wish she didn’t make it official with Steven. We can’t believe Evelin is declaring her undying love for Corey all over the ‘gram when she hated him 2 weeks ago. We feel bad for Bini again but we still wonder WDBD? (What did Bini do?) We are STUNNED Jenny and Sumit actually got married and LOVED their wedding attire. We can’t WAIT for the tell all next week!As promised - here is a link to Armando and Kenny’s merch!https://www.kennyandarmando.com/t-shirts (https://www.kennyandarmando.com/t-shirts)Take a listen to A Date With Dateline and A Date with the Bake anywhere you get your podcasts and follow

As most of you know, Erin is taking a break to deal with her mental health and we ask for love and support as she takes this time off. This week, Mary Payne is joined by Kimberly of A Date with Dateline podcast to talk about this week’s Life After Lockup episode (I Plead the Fifth). We talk about the shocking twist that was Lacey/Shane/John! What happened there or do we even want to know? We are still advocating for Derrick to have a spin off though we don’t love him encouraging Daonte to crash a wedding. MP is still rooting for Britney and Ray but Kimberly isn’t such a big fan of Brit. We also loved Mama Dianne’s grilling of Ray. She was really getting in there! We want Puppy to just turn herself in and not run off with High As A Kite Eric! And, our heart breaks for Shawn’s kids as he takes care of Abby and talks about a possible new baby with Sara. Take a listen to A Date With Dateline anywhere you get your podcasts and follow them on Instagram @datedateline (https://www.instagram.com/datedateline/) and Twi

Mary Payne talks with Kyle of 90 Day Fiance Cray Cray about this week’s episode of 90 Day TOW, aptly titled COLD FEET. Wow - we have a lot of feelings about Victor and Ellie as well as Sumit and Jenny. We can’t quite figure out if Evelin and Corey hate or love each other in real life and the question remains WHAT DID BINI DO? Seriously, what did he do? What happened at that house in Ethiopia? We share a love of Kenny and Armando and wish we had a whole wedding spin off about these two! Follow Kim and Kyle on Instagram at @90dayfiancecraycray (https://www.instagram.com/90dayfiancecraycray/) and @realitycraycray (https://twitter.com/realitycraycray) on Twitter.Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (https://www.instagram.com/pinkshadepod/) and TikTok @pinkshadepodcast (http://www.tiktok.com/@pinkshadepodcast)Join Hey Bunkie on Patreon for bonus show recaps every week:  (https://www.patreon.com/heybunkie)www.patreon.com/heybunkie (http://www.patreon.com/heybunkie)Join our Pink Shade Patreon for extra

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 Housewives of Salt Lake City! Just when we thought we might find out what exactly is going on in Mary’s church, we get Homeland Security and NYPD in the Beauty Lab parking lot looking for Jen Shah!   Take a listen to So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey anywhere you get your podcasts and follow Ryan on Instagram @sobaditsgoodwithryanbailey (https://www.instagram.com/sobaditsgoodwithryanbailey/) and Twitter @ryanbailey25 (https://twitter.com/ryanbailey25)Follow us on Twitter & Instagram @pinkshadepod (https://www.instagram.com/pinkshadepod/) and TikTok @pinkshadepodcast (http://www.tiktok.com/@pinkshadepodcast)Join Hey Bunkie
