Guilty pleasure TV shows

What are some shows you love but you know you shouldn’t?

Mine are mostly 00/10s reality shows that I rewatch when I don’t fancy starting something new. Things like My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, Four Weddings, Airline, the car crash one with Lisa Scott Lee! Jersey Shore was also a firm favourite. Total garbage but so nostalgic.

Below deck. I just love it. The drama, the guests. Whichever captain it is.

ghostyslovesheets · 09/03/2025 18:55

Bravo rubbish especially Below Deck and RHONY/SLC

Crime documentaries

Pearbear · 09/03/2025 18:55

All the Below Deck series. Love watching the crew antics and the pampered guests.

Footballers wives, nip/tuck, dawsons creek.... all the classics 🤣

Below deck, summer house, southern charm. Couldn't be arsed with all that drama in real life, but love watching it

Love Is Blind it's a load of old shit and I watch it religiously Grin

unlikelywitch · 09/03/2025 19:02

Oh I got sucked into the last series of MAFS when I had the flu and became way over invested!

I watch Sister Wives but only when nobody is looking.

mrspotty23 · 09/03/2025 19:03

Dinner Date. It's so cheesy and crap but I love it. The sad little microwave meal for the losers at the end 😂

Keepsmiling2948 · 09/03/2025 19:03

Below Deck! Even my DH is addicted and he despises realist tv! Definitely our guilty pleasure

Growsomeballswoman · 09/03/2025 19:05

Selling Sunset. I watch for the clothes and shoes

saveforthat · 09/03/2025 19:06

I watch dance moms and then when I've finished all the series I start again. I've been doing this for years. I hope they never remove it from channel 4.

saveforthat · 09/03/2025 19:07

Also the bachelor but I only watch each series once.

TodoIncluido · 09/03/2025 19:08

Gladiators

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 09/03/2025 19:32

Reality tv
Love island, married at first sight uk and aus, love is blind UK

I hate it, it's so bad but I can't not watch 😭

Gliblet · 09/03/2025 19:39

Sex and the City

Gladiators

Those border force things that are meant to showcase skilled enforcement agents but are 90% grumpy Australians telling Chinese and Vietnamese tourists why they can't bring in a suitcase full of unlabelled herbal remedies and grandma's special home-pickled duck feet

MaltipooMama · 09/03/2025 19:47

I don't think I've got any currently but I used to LOVE Wife Swap and Supernanny! Out of the gazillion streaming services available I'm gutted that neither are available to watch anywhere!

JenniferBooth · 09/03/2025 19:53

Charmed. The original series not the 2018 reboot.

unlikelywitch · 09/03/2025 19:55

I forgot about Wife Swap. The woman who looked like Waynetta Slob - Woooo Dr Emma in the house! takes a draw of her fag

Death in Paradise for me. It's so ridiculous but I love seeing the sunshine and beaches.
