Dr.s Kay and Ray examine moments & castmates from the most recent–if not currently airing–seasons of these shows for their 8 signature awards, ranging from TESTosterboned (most patriarchal) & Bechdel TEST (most feminist) awards, to Best TESTimonial (or straight-to-camera/confessional) & Doing the MosTEST (most cringe/embarrassing) awards. As a result, themes ranged from Lisa Barlow’s & Bronwyn Newport’s distinctive styles of relational aggression to sizeist and fetishistic treatment of Andreina, as well as themes related to taking accountability and adapting parenting styles.For the “Reality Check” segment, Dr.s Kay & Ray brought in studies related to the dangers of body dysmorphic or obsessive compulsive cosmetic surgery and sleepiness in romantic relationships.What do you think: Have you ever felt completely satisfied with a cosmetic surgery, such that you never again had an interest in returning for cosmetic work?
