Ahh another Obese: fan, piffpaffpoff! I loved the contrast between the American version - lots of working out in the sunshine, the big family get together at the end with the person going on stage, with the British version where the poor sods were in the gym at 5am in January, the personal trainer has to move in to their tiny terraced house in Liverpool or wherever with them and it's just raining most of the time, and the final 'reveal' scene is down the working men's club or a barbie in the garden Grin. This is the time of year Pick TV tend to wheel it out again, it used to be on Sunday mornings. Hmm

I really like Mes Browns Boys but every time it is on I can hear my late mothers disapproval. She was very very racist, staunch c of e, thought anyone who swore was common as muck and if she had her way would turn it off whilst I was watching it( I am 62 and able to choose my own tv viewing!)

Why would they not ensure their place is spotless before going on TV?
Was watching an episode over Christmas where one B&B owner said that she'd turned over a stained mattress hoping that no one would find the stain - because that would never happen on a programme where rivals routinely poke around in shower drains and pack their own dust-seeking glovesConfusedGrin

Had a scan through and dont think anyone has said my guilty pleasure, dont know whether to be proud or embarassed!!

....storage wars/storage hunters

I love it when they rumage through what they've bought, assigning ridiculous values to everything! And all the staged arguments/fights/dramas!

Jerseylicious was ah-may-zing. "The higher your hair, the closer you are to God". It was a "reality" series about a bunch of obnoxious New Jersey beauticians/ hairdressers and their Guido boyfriends. I watched it religiously for a couple of years. It was on around the same time as Jersey Shore I think. I don't know if it's still on though.

Oh yes Jerseylicious was great. Proper trashy TV! I wonder what they're all up to now.

I have many (don't think I watch many programmes that wouldn't be classed as cheesy rubbish!) but I'd say top of the list has to be Dance Moms. I've seen them all many times but still sky plus them every time they come round. Such a guilty pleasure!

Me and my DD's love watching cake wars. We watch every time a new episode comes on channel 4!

I used watch loads of crap t.v. I love catfish, storage hunters/wars, pawn stars. Don't watch so much now as I don't have as much time when dh isn't here to judge to watch what I like!
