  1. Northern Soul dancing (nope, no idea, except I can't do it)
  2. Mirror glaze cake decorating (like mindfulness - but with icing!)
  3. The Voice/La Belle Voix: France - blind auditions (so so moody)
  4. Sharon Ann Anti-aging (I love her, I believe her)
  5. X Factor/The Voice Australia auditions (just quality)
  6. Women's gymnastics (I'm the most unbendy person ever)
  7. Women's gymnastic epic falls (I'm also menopausal)
  8. Christian the Lion with the Aerosmith song (sometimes you just need a big cat and a big cry - I have to ration this)
  9. Ferries in stormy seas (really, there's something wrong with me)
10. Dr Sandra Lee (if you don't know, I'm not explaining)

A young growing youtuber named Grackle, I love that she gets her family involved with the filming and the videos with her and her dad in particular are hilarious. She has a great sweet but slightly sassy personality.

MadameFoner · 06/09/2019 02:41

I also love Shopping TV bloopers, nothing better than seeing a ACC presenter on his arse falling off a ladder 😂.

These first few are a carryover from younger days when I wished I had learned to dance etc, but here goes,
Irish dancing
Cheerleaders/dance groups- usually competitions
Rock & roll dancing
Gymnastics
Roller coasters - hate heights though
Travel videos - esp those in up high places - but, see above

However, reading all your posts/ideas there is so much more of there for watching

Simon's Cat
Dinnerladies episodes
RuPaul Drag race compilations
Peter Kay Car Share outtakes - guaranteed to have me chuckling

SeaOtterFluff · 06/09/2019 07:00

Trains. Modern, steam, don't mind. Quite partial to a bit of infrastructure too - level crossings, viaducts and points.

Vloggers on narrow boats.

Abandoned buildings and industrial archaeology. Martin Zero is wonderful.

I'm a closet nerd... although I'm far from cool in real life.

CuteOrangeElephant · 06/09/2019 07:08

Listening to De Toppers is going beyond the realms of Guilty Pleasure Grin.

I love the midnight quilt show, the lady is very sassy and an amazing quilter.
Watching people build theme parks in Rollercoaster Tycoon, Parkitecht or Planet Coaster. Soon there will be Planet Zoo, very excited about that!

SleepyKat · 06/09/2019 07:17

Air traffic control videos. Love the ones featuring Kennedy Steve who was an ATC at JFK. When he's telling the planes where to hold, taxi, etc and shouting at the tugs. There's no real life visual....sometimes there's an animation of the runway map with little coloured, planes moving along but it's really just an audio thing.

I watch shopping hauls. I love the American ones. I'm currently watching Halloween hauls.

I used to watch lots of adoption related videos too. Some have moved over to insta or stopped completely (I'm not surprised really, so much personal info) but I loved the insight.

Music lesson videos, Michael McIntyre best of, anyone decluttering their house and people living in camper vans. I must secretly want to be a travelling minstrel 🤣

DonEmmanuelsDingleberries · 06/09/2019 07:35

The Try Guys, although I've gone off them a bit since they formed their own company and hardly ever try things as a group anymore. Still enjoy their podcasts though. I had an embarrassingly strong crush on Eugene Lee Yang for a while Blush

Buzzfeed Unsolved, but only True Crime (the Supernatural series got boring). I also really liked Shane Madej's Ruining History series, but it was cut short.

School of Affluence (the channel for an online 'finishing school' that advises women on how to bag a rich man) because the whole premise is awful, and Anna Bey is the last person I would take advice from if I wanted to appear classy.

Random analyses of TV programmes/films and their tropes.

Justine Leconte (French fashion designer and vlogger). Not sure that she counts as a guilty pleasure really. She's ace! Grin

FuckOffUpTheModelVillage · 06/09/2019 07:36

Can't bear ASMR - find it really stressful.

I watch:
Phillip DeFranco (sort of newsy)
TeaSpill (tea)
Spill (more tea)
Geoff Marshall (trains)
SimplyNailogical (nails, but so much more)
Shane, Ryland, Morgan, Garrett
The TryGuys
Safiya Nygaard
Grackle

Sometimes some booty gurus like Tati or Jeffree Star, but all the drama's kind of put me off. James Charles is a worry - he needs someone to say no to him.
