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?

The Real Housewives of Cheshire. I am so excited the new series starts on Monday!

I love Judge Rinder too but I don't regard it as trash TV Wink

BettyIsABoy · 08/09/2017 20:14

Footballers Wives. It was on about 12 or more years ago, but I'm watching the reruns again now. It's so bad, it's brilliant.

Lloyd I love the RHOC too. It never ceases to amaze me how much makeup they manage to fit on their eyes!

Betty isn't that the programme that first introduced the name 'Chardonnay'?

Stop, search, seize, police interceptors, body cops: undercover, you get the jist Blush What are they hiding? Is it drugs? 10kgs of rice flower? Who knows but you bet to fuck I want to find out

CathyTrask · 08/09/2017 20:24

I love Dance Mom's. Met Nia and Holly and was surprised at how many others watch this filth.
A new low was Make or Break on Channel 5. Daughter informs me it's a lowet rent version on Love Island. I have no shame.

eslindanunez · 08/09/2017 20:25

I only have freeview! I didn't have a TV until a year and a half ago (probably why I can't control myself now) and don't subscribe to anything. I guess that's a good thing really

Another can't pay we'll take it away here! Strangely addictive. Also Millionaire matchmaker.

CathyTrask · 08/09/2017 20:27

Body Fixers.
Some of these I don't consider to be trash. We clearly have different standards......

I love 60 days in, every end of the episode promo promises drama in the next episode but it's drama relating to the actual prisoners and not the contestants. But it's still a fascinating show, even I noticed one of the biggest issues - there is no structure in the jail, so boredom sets in and make small issues into mountains. They only have 1 hour a week in the recreation hall so they spend all their time in the pod either watching tv or holding kangaroo courts.

gemdrop DH and I watch Forensic Files almost every night in bed Grin

cafeaulaitpourvous · 08/09/2017 20:32

I'm a celeb

We don't watch reality tv but even DH likes this - we watch it in bed drinking tea .... heaving into the duvet when they do the bush tucker trials..

amusedbush · 08/09/2017 20:32

Another Forensic Files addict here! For years there was only one season on Netflix and then they uploaded hundreds of episodes in one go, which thrilled me Grin
