Surviving Reality

Surviving Reality is the snarky, weekly recap podcast hosted by Corey and Carly that covers unhinged reality TV, true crime, documentaries, and all the chaos in between.

Part recap, part roast, and part therapy session – we bring a neurodivergent lens to the internet’s favorite reality shows, digging into relationship dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the moments everyone else missed. No storyline, red flag, or producer plot twist is left un-snarked! Whether you’re a reality TV superfan or just here for the breakups, betrayals, and reunion show meltdowns, we’re breaking down the biggest moments each week.

New Episodes every Monday and Friday!

Plus a full backlog of recaps covering Welcome to Plathville, Gypsy Rose: Life After Lockup, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Love is Blind, The Traitors, Polyfamily, Seeking Sister Wife, Suddenly Amish, 7 Little Johnstons, This is Poly, Married at First Sight, and more!

Ep 88: Welcome to Plathville S7:E9 - Crossover with Mrskickstand Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

"The First Kiss"

We teamed up with TikTok’s @mrskickstand for this week’s Plathville episode, and we're so thankful we had some backup on this one! While Lydia and Zac are off smooching in wedding bliss, the rest of the Plaths are in absolute shambles. Ethan and Isaac plot to ruin the wedding day; Moriah takes a moment to make everything about her; and Veronica mixes up the NPC girlfriends which sends Isaac into a tailspin.

Ep 87: Welcome to Plathville S7:E8 Sep 10, 2025

Show notes

"The Day Before I Do"

It’s Lydia's wedding rehearsal day, and her biggest concern is determining which brother is going to crash out. Kim attempts to soft launch her foot content; Barry is rizzing around in rare form; Ethan pushes up some garage misogyny before peeling out like a teenager, and Veronica finds herself flying solo and squaring off with Moriah in two sentences or less that serve more as a letdown than a showdown.

Ep 86: Welcome to Plathville S7:E7 Sep 03, 2025

Show notes

"The Houseguests"

Zac moves to Cairo hoping to bond with the Plaths even though most of the family barely tolerates him; Micah and Veronica’s therapy session ends up unleashing years of trauma; Ethan proves that he's only interested in two very specific things when it comes to Teegan; Lydia and Zac turn a game of Truth or Dare into Never Have I Ever.

Ep 85: Welcome to Plathville S7:E6 - Crossover with Pink Shade Aug 27, 2025

Show notes

"The Birds and the Bees"

We're joined by Mary Payne Gilbert of the Pink Shade podcast as we all get flippin' whiplash from three very different storylines: Barry and Kim traumatize Lydia and Zac with the grandbaby of all sex talks; Micah is a spineless worm, so the family doubles down on their crusade against Veronica; and Lydia goes wedding dress shopping as a personal insult to Moriah.

Ep 84: Welcome to Plathville S7:E5 Aug 20, 2025

Show notes

"The Secret"

The “are you gay?” cliffhanger fizzles out to nothing; Barry checks Lydia's temperature for baby fever; Moriah goes full manic-mode by planning a move to Montana to convince us of character growth; and Micah’s fight with Veronica spirals so far out that Ethan and Amber have to stay in a hotel to avoid the fallout. It's peak Plathville, and we're here to point out every hypocritical moment, as usual.

Ep 83: BONUS - Fit for TV (2025) Aug 18, 2025

Show notes

"Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser (2025)"

This new Netflix doc rips the curtain back on The Biggest Loser, which is even more toxic than we remembered. Between Bob and Jillian’s “tough love” cruelty, starvation disguised as fitness, and contestants pushed past the brink - it’s a masterclass in how reality TV can wreck lives for ratings. But even for all its critique, this doc still can't resist servicing up a fresh side of hypocrisy by stigmatizing GLP-1s. We've got opinions, so buckle up.
