Welcome to Reality Mums! The video podcast for all things reality tv, mum life & pop culture. Hosts @rachelle.bingham + @the_real_catherinelouise
Rachelle Bingham Catherine Smartt
Today we're chatting about Bluey's World, flying with kids, mini vans and Katy Perry. Just another day in the office.
Still delivering on every level, Bravo had hit the jackpot with this cast. Although we can't agree over Charlie - is he giving main character energy? or is it all an act to compete with the bigger stars?
Can we drop it with the Danny Darko Darkside whatever? So over it, it's not entertaining. This cast has so much potential - unless they turn it into Vanderpump Rules 2.0 - in which case we will riot. Or at the very least stop watching.
Today we're chatting all things Below Deck with Captain Kerry Titheradge. His thoughts on the steamy hook ups, the chef meltdown, that luggage disaster from episode one, and the infamous black light from the first charter.
Packed with nostalgia, throwbacks and all the headlines - this has so much promise. But at the same time it's giving us a very uncomfortable ick watching the live shows. Is this us? Are we them? We're not ready for this reality check
The reunion has wrapped up on a great season. Lindsay had a great summer, Paige has gone out in style and taken aim at ‘he who shall not be named'
It was nice while it lasted, but it looks like Jax is back from rehab and being his usual manipulative and controlling self. Why is Bravo allowing this behaviour to continue? You'd never see this on Below Deck or the housewives. Why is Jax getting preferential treatment? Team Brittany all the way.
Next Gen NYC has premiered on Hayu and what an entrance! It's a mix of eclectic, charismatic Gen Zs living in NYC - it's giving Girls meets housewives meets early SATC vibes - love it!
The new season of Below Deck has landed and it's undergone a massive glow up! There's a sexy cast, atrocious guests and a chef on the edge. With Captain Kerry at the controls this season is looking good!
An emergency chat was required to discuss the new hair situation of the one and only Kris Jenner. The Chrisley's have been pardoned by the president, and And Just Like That is back and giving major ick
The AMA's are over and we have wig questions. Strife is back for season 2 on Binge and it's good. What's not good are all the ads - what the hell is going on with all the streaming services and these ads????
It's the finale of Summer House and wow what a season. We're letting loose in this episode - and apologise in advance that the term ‘finger bang' was used more than once
We're so over the drama with Danny and the warm tequila- the guy got drunk and went to bed, so what? Scheana has found her way into the cast (insert facepalm) and honestly this show doesn't need VPR cast member, they're doing just fine
The charter season is over, and we finally see Lara's true feelings towards Chef Tzarina. Speaking of - what a triumph with the final service - seven courses of perfection! A rare season with perfect dishes coming from the galley each week.
What an explosion of culture and chaos we're witnessing in Utah - the relatively young cast with their marriages, divorces, ketamine infusions and swinging but not swinging parties is an experience for the senses! Highly recommend if you're after something different from the typical housewives formula
In today's episode we had the pleasure of interviewing none other than Chef Tzarina from Below Deck Down Under. Tzarina has had a turbulent season, and it's fair to say she's been misunderstood by a lot of people. We had a great time chatting with her, breaking down what really happened with Lara, and how she copes watching the season back all these months later. A great listen.
The downfall of Jesse Solomon continues, Lexi and Sierra are about to go nuclear and Danielle has given us another jump scare. One more episode to go before the finale. What a great season they've had, one of the best.
Who needs Jax? Certainly not The Valley! This cast is killing it, breakdowns, mermaids, group chats and all.
The drama heats up this week in the hotel, with lots of tough conversations and some storming out from Shannon Storms Beador.
Is Rhony cancelled or not? Rachelle is finishing up You, Catherine is obsessed with a new show on Netflix and Rachelle recounts her dramatic escape from a pair of boots
The Met Gala is over for another year, but did we enjoy it? Bravo is in overdrive with FOUR NEW SHOWS ANNOUNCED! We break them down for you - plus a recommendation that includes the internet's boyfriend John Hamm
Today we're joined by the one and only Lexi Wood from Summer House, streaming now on Hayu. We chat relationships in the house, Jesse, the girls - and the regrets she has now that filming has wrapped
The Snoozefest delivered, Lexi absolutely destroyed Jesse at the breakfast table - a top episode this week, with everything working overtime to deliver great tv. 10/10
Delivering in spades, The Valley is still killing it. No Jax this week as he toddles off to rehab (thank god). It's all happening at the arcade, with custody battles, group chat leaks and a storyline with Janet we're still struggling to follow
The Love Hotel is where it's at this week - what a breath of fresh air! Gizelle, Luanne, Shannon and Ashley all looking for love - and being hilarious and real at the same time. A great watch, even just to have a lesson in how to be a boss by Luanne
Back for another week, recapping the madness of house hunting, flights, questionable parenting advice (look away), grommets and bodily fluids. Good times.
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
