Welcome to Reality Mums! The video podcast for all things reality tv, mum life & pop culture. Hosts @rachelle.bingham + @the_real_catherinelouise

Oh Sydney, Sydney, Sydney. What can we say? It has improved from the bin fire start, but too many cast members spoil the show. Or broth, something like that.
Captain Jason has gone on a firing spree, but is to too late? Tzarina is creating quite the stir in the galley, Spock has joined the crew and there's an exciting new show on the horizon.
Carl is giving us the ick, the door scores its own 'friend of' mention and pregnant Lindsay is a vibe. Poor Lexi has put all her eggs in one Jesse - toe-gate continues.
Jax is well and truly off the rails and we are right there behind Britney as she plays mumma bear to little Cruz. The Valley is delivering in ways we never expected - and we love it!
New format, who dis? New look, new length - we're bringing fresh vibes to 2025, and making it easier to access our chats, and keep up with specific shows that you love. Thanks for listening! Catherine + Rachelle
We are back and giving a quick breakdown of all your favourite Reality TV.
We had so much to cover this week. Traitors and Southern Hospitality has wrapped and they both had amazing seasons. We welcomed back the ladies of Atlanta with mixed reviews. I guess we wait and see what the season brings. Meanwhile, The Real Housewives of Sydney seem to be playing characters. They are still an embarrassing mess and are missing the mark completely.
We are loving the strong girls on Summer House this season, but still not loving Real Housewives of Sydney.
It's been a week. Does anyone else feel like 2025 is a bit heavy? We also have lots of thoughts about Summer House, Southern Charm and Kardashians. Don't even get us started on The Real Housewives Of Sydney. Do you like it or do you hate watch like us?
This week we saw the return of Summer House, where Linsday made the world's longest pregnancy announcement. We can't wait to see how everything plays out with her and Karl living under one roof.We also chat about The Kardashians, their unrealistic body shapes and documentary style show.Let us know your thoughts.
We had a super fun catch up with Captain Jason Chambers to celebrate the launch of Below Deck Down Under season 3. Are you a peanut, plain or crunchy M&M fan? Pretty sure we're all team peanut.
This week we've seen RHONY and RHOSLC wrap up. Kardashians and Below Deck Down Under are back with new seasons. As usual we cannot get enough of Beverly Hills. Who knew Kathy Hilton is Chinese??
We are back after a 6 week break. So much has been happening in the reality TV space and we try to cover it all in one episode. Tune in to hear all about your favourite shows.
We have a lot to get off our chests this week. This episode is adults only. There is a swear warning and a Santa and elf discussion that needs to not be heard by little ears. We will be back in 2025. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Thanks for listening ❤️
Is high body count hair a thing? This week we welcome back our classy friends from the South, Southern Charm. We also discuss all the Housewives and Below Deck.
A quick catch up this week covering only RHOBH and RHOSLC. Trigger warning - this episode discusses addiction. If anyone you know is suffering please contact Lifeline, Beyond Blue or Orange Door.
So many Housewives and we are here to cover them all. We also chat about the DM's Rachelle is sending Catherine. Why won't she open them?
A special interview with the fabulous Justin Hill, he is in Miami with HayU at Fan Fest and we are here for all of the goss. Listen now!
Rachelle is back from her Japan trip and we are ready to catch up on everything that is going on in the Reality TV world.
There are so many Housewives on at the moment, we have all sorts of fillings. This week we discuss RHOSLC, RHONY, Potomac and of course RHOC. Feels good to have so much to watch after such a drought. We also have some new series and movie suggestions that you might want to check out.
We're back after a Reality TV drought to discuss the not so secret Mormon wives. There's also some chatter about RHOC, Below Deck and Selling Sunset, but do they even compare
After a lacklustre season the RHONJ ended on a high. We also discuss all the breaking news of the week which is hard to keep up with right now.
We were so excited to interview Emily Simpson and talk about all things RHOC, fitness and relationships.
After a short break, we're back baby. Our reality shows have been a bit quiet but we the return of RHOC has given us life.We also chat about the other non reality shows we have been watching to get us through this drought.
Very special interview with Captain Sandy from Below Deck Med
This week we cover the wrap up of Summer House and The Valley. We also discuss two new shows Dubai and Below Deck Med. Also, we need to know. Are you team Lindsay or Team Carl?
Stream brand new The Real Housewives of Dubai S2 only on Hayu from 3 June, the same day as the USA. New episodes are released every Monday.
Kardashians are back, baby and both Catherine and Rachelle loved the 1st episode. Lots of shows are wrapping up this week with reunions and final episodes. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts.
This week is a fun episode with a recap of the season finale of Vanderpump and 1st episode of the reunion. We also cover New Jersey, Summer House, Below Deck and The Valley. One other question. Why are Gen Z so picky and vocal about millennials? Leave us alone with our ankle socks, side parts and skinny jeans. Let us live.
We're catching up after a big couple of weeks. The Housewife drought is over, New Jersey back baby. For us The Valley and Summer House are still so good, while Vanderpump seems to be falling a bit flat this season.
We cover a lot this week. Summer House and The Valley are our stand outs. We still have zero housewives, but the Jersey girls will be back in May.
After a few weeks of interviews we are back to regular programming. It's a bumper episode that we could almost fill with just all the current Bravo breaking news.
This week, we interviewed the fabulous @preston.mitchum from Summer House - Martha's Vinyard. If you're not watching season 2, you need to! Screening on @hayusocial now
Catch our special interview with the amazing and talented Chef Anthony from Below Deck
She's the southern belle that stole our hearts, and if anybody says otherwise they can, ‘rot in hell!' Staring in the brand new show The Valley streaming now on Hayu – welcome to Reality Mums Brittany Cartright!
Jax has entered the chat. This week, he's back on the brand new show The Valley and Vanderpump Rules. We really enjoyed The Valley and can't wait to tune in every week. Catherine also explains to us how she cannot get her mind around the rules of games. What are your thoughts? Are you guys happy to have Jax and Kristen back?
Hold onto your cowboy hats because this week it's a whirlwind - Princess Kate is awol, North West is dangling the carrot to the Swifties and Kathy Hilton emerges as the marionette puppet queen of Beverly Hills. Oh and we love West on Summer House - he's giving main character energy and we love it
We're a day early this week, but still so much to discuss. Do you agree with Ariana? Can she stop people being friends with Tom? Is Sheana overreacting? We are loving West, the new addition in Summer House and can sympathise with Paige about caring for a man baby.
There is so much Bravo breaking news we don't know where to start. Jax and Brittney, Leah V Andy and Rachel V Ariana and Tom. Why on earth is everyone coming for Andy? We also discuss the shows of the week and the RHOBH and RHOM reunions. Do you think it's time for Kyle to have a break from filming?
This week we recap Vanderpump and the final episodes of Bevery Hills and Miami. Lookong forward to the reunions next week.
We are loving Vanderpump Rules, Miami and Beverley Hills. We also discuss the return of Below Deck.
We start this weeks episode with a quick update from Catherine and her melanoma diagnosis - a diagnosis that happened purely because of Khloe Kardashian's public cancer battle on The Kardashians. An important message to get checked! Our beloved Vanderpump is back - and naturally we have thoughts. Then it's over to Beverly Hills and the Salt Lake reunion.
