Mandy Slutsker is a Reality TV enthusiast and host of the Is This Real Life?podcastwhere she focuses not only on reality TV, but the “why” of the things they do. Mandy joins Mary Payne to offer her thoughts on the COVID-19 pandemic and to discuss her favorite reality TV shows.

A Deep Dive into Reality TV Personalities

Mandy started the Is This Real Life? podcast over two years ago as a way to connect with other fans about her favorite reality TV and Bravo shows. In her episodes, Mandy and her guests look deeply into the characters’ personalities to find out more about what makes them tick. While many aspects of reality TV are ridiculous, she thinks that some of the shows’ situations and characters are relatable. 

Mandy and Mary Payne are both huge fans of Bravo TV’s Vanderpump Rules. They enjoy watching the characters grow up over the seasons. Mandy also loves Real Housewives of New York. She finds the women on this show to be fun, humorous, and resilient. Mary Payne’s loyalties, on the other hand, lie with Real Housewives of Atlanta.
