I've always enjoyed a bit of reality TV but didn't have as much access to it until I went on maternity leave last year.

I'm now completely addicted to: Four in a Bed, Come Dine with me, Dinner Date and the Bachelor/ette. I'm partial to a bit of Real Housewives of various places too.

My newest most favourite one though is Yummy Mummies (rich Australian pregnant ladies). It's so good.

Is this reasonable or do I really need to get a bloody life cut down?

I love Made in Chelsea but agree with others it's been a bit predictable recently. I hope it gets some new people in soon I miss Lucy/ Caggie/ Hugo/ Millie/ Spencer.

Have you noticed that the contestants on Come Dine With Me are clearly now banned from getting drunk? I miss the days when they were allowed to, it's not the same anymore

I loved Dating in the Dark when I was on maternity leave 8 years ago, but don't think it's on anymore, sob.

I also got into 16 and Pregnant at the same time, so now enjoy Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 as the kids are at the same stage as my DD. DH hates these shows, thinks they're beneath me he can't talk with his taste in tv

I love the reasons for liking a prog -
" I love seeing people lie very aggressively." Grin

Yes MiC is not what it once was.
Real housewives of Orange County.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 08/09/2017 19:45

it's so annoying when you're trying to watch and you've got someone there going on about how crap it is

Yes. We KNOW you know it's tripe. But they just don't 'get it' in the same way as we do Grin

Autumnchill · 08/09/2017 19:45

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They just can't meet without arguing, I find it fascinating!

GenericDietCola · 08/09/2017 19:45

Also Dinner Date!

Twelvety · 08/09/2017 19:46

Oh yes, also used to watch border force and that airport customs one?

Twelvety · 08/09/2017 19:47

Nothing to declare, that's it!

oldlaundbooth · 08/09/2017 19:47

Come dine with me.

So hilarious.

GrumpyOldMare · 08/09/2017 19:49

Say yes to the dress. Love Randy and Monte!

Can't pay? We'll take it away.

CaptainHammer · 08/09/2017 19:59

Can't pay? isn't a guilty pleasure, it's great! Who doesn't love Bohill?!

Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents and Tipping Point are mine.

switswoo81 · 08/09/2017 20:03

Probably all of the above plus my new one "baby changes everything " on TLC that channel is great for a bit of shite

Butterymuffin · 08/09/2017 20:06

Keeping up with the Kardashians and Can't Pay.. DH likes all the police stop border force ones.

eslindanunez · 08/09/2017 20:06

I absolutely hated Sam Faiers The Mummy Diaries though. Not sure why it annoyed me so much when it's probably no worse than any of the others

Four in a Bed aggravates me, those contestants go looking in the most absurd places for "dirt". There all so picky and the worst judges of a good BnB because they all have an agenda.

But it's so addicting.

Bunnyfuller · 08/09/2017 20:10

Same ones as you, OP. Not Batchelorette though. My secret dirty bliss is playing match-3 games on my iPad whilst watching those things.

Dirty!
