I’ve literally just binge watched it and I’m now on Season 2!Blush

Is it real or staged? Some of it has been pretty intense and awful to watch, the bitchiness especially but seriously, I really can’t get enough of it and how the other half live!

Money doesn’t buy you everything does it!

In a world where everything seems so tense atm this really has taken me away from it all!

Anyone else have a guilty pleasure?

I’ve even Googled some of the characters and found out that I’m way behind on this!

Season 2, you got alot of binge watching to enjoy. The car crash this season of Denise Richards is spectacular & if you haven't started on Housewives of New york this season is also fab. My guilty pleasures are 90 day fiance & Below deck, New season just started Captain Sandy is back with Hannah as chief stew & Milia as Bosun.

Love RHoBH, season 9 is being shown on ITVbe at 5:30 each day and. thread is in telly addicts.

Love BH, NY and OC. I watch Cheshire too but I'm fed up of the cast.

I also watch Teen Mom OG, 9 day Fiance, Made in Chelsea. TOWIE passed me by.

I also like crime and suspense - OH doesn't.like that either.

lifestooshort123 · 08/06/2020 06:29

I'm addicted to RHOBH and RHOC even though the latter became very screechy when Shouty Shannon joined. Now Vicky and Tamra have left don't think it will be the same. Cheshire is good except for Dawn - my word, she's a piece! I also lurve 90-day fiancee, there are some very sad people out there who will believe anything!!

SandysMam · 08/06/2020 06:33

I have just smashed Love is Blind on Netflix. The people are insane, so desperate to fit whoever they can to the idea they have of love in their heads. Some moments are so deeply cringey...I love it!!

Thisbastardcomputer · 08/06/2020 06:56

Ooh I didn't know it was on Netflix, I'll be watching it from the beginning now. I seem to have lost ITVBe on freeview,

OneOfTheGrundys · 08/06/2020 07:05

ITVBe/E!
Love it. I love the Cheshire Housewives and the Sam/Billy Faiers stuff. Also the Ferne McCann/GC bits. GC has me in stitches.
I have a grim fascination for the Kardashians fed by E! too. Monstrous, the lot of them (Khloe excepted) and fascinating to watch!
I don’t feel guilty. My work’s bending my brain at the mo and I need counterbalance.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 08/06/2020 11:06

I like Hoarders. Im wfh atm and its my lunchtime treat.

LucyTrainsDragons · 08/06/2020 15:49

Glad it’s not just me Grin

I felt quite sad reading about one of the BH husbands, didn’t realise I was so far behind at this point. Still don’t know what to believe?

And I actually quite liked Kim in series 1 but have made a complete U turn in series 2. Thought she treated Brandi really, really badly along with her sister Kyle!

Lucy you have a lotta fun to come.

SomeBunnyovertheRainbow · 09/06/2020 13:44

I’m watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills too and Im on season 2. The one with the get together at Dana’s house. Almost as good as the dinner party at Camille’s with the mad bitch medium!

What is it I love about this? I’m not sure. Does it matter? No.

I think Atlanta and New York housewives are on Netflix now too. I watched NY years ago but tempted to watch again.

Hoping they bring on the later series too!

Planesmistakenforstars · 09/06/2020 13:57

Eurovision. I can quite happily sit and watch previous shows, and there are a number of performances and songs which are my go to for bingeing to cheer myself up when I'm low. Several of my friends have been stupified when they've found out, because it's quite out of character. I don't feel guilty at all though.

Nosuchluck · 09/06/2020 14:01

24 episodes of Shtisel on Netflix, it's so good.

LucyTrainsDragons · 09/06/2020 16:17

@SomeBunnyovertheRainbow oh yes I almost forgot about the one with the medium and the fake cigarette! That was completely nuts and I don’t doubt didn’t do her any favours! Just bonkers!

I love Botched, think the two doctors are fabulous.

theluckiest · 09/06/2020 22:40

@TheWernethWife
Botched is our go-to wind-down telly too.
Love it.

In fact, watching it right now. Dr Dubrow & Dr Nassif are amazing.

My 600lb Life.

There I’ve said it. I’ve been harbouring that secret for too long.🤭

LucyTrainsDragons · 12/06/2020 16:30

Where can I find season 3 of RLOBH?

Have to pay to watch it on Prime! Sad

OP posts:
LucyTrainsDragons · 12/06/2020 16:31

Sorry meant RHOBH season 3

OP posts:
LucyTrainsDragons · 12/06/2020 16:36

@JessicaDay sorry, I’ve read through again and found your post about Season 3. I don’t really want to have to pay another subscription Sad I’ve got Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple Music, to bake but a few. Why can’t they show it for Prime members 😫

OP posts:
LucyTrainsDragons · 12/06/2020 16:36

Name not bake! Grin

Sod it, just noticed the 30 day free trial so taken it out! Just need to binge watch now and remember to cancel.

OP posts:
SurreyHillsGirl · 12/06/2020 17:00

Housewives of Cheshire. They are all so cringe Grin

Sometimes a bit of car crash tv is just what the dr ordered.

JessicaDay · 12/06/2020 17:41

Bit confused @LucyTrainsDragons...I mentioned the free trials of the Hayu channel specifically so you wouldn’t have to pay?

The Hayu channel is separate from Prime or NowTv but available via them as an additional subscription. Both have free trials (which with Prime isn’t the same as the free trial of Prime itself).

If you already have Prime you would get a free Hayu trial for 30 days by subscribing to the Hayu channel via channels in your Prime Video.

I had a free trial on Prime immediately followed by a free trial on NowTv a while back. I also had a free trial via the Hayu site itself, but that was glitchy as hell though it was ages ago.

So you can watch it for free, at least for a while.

If you want to get the trial of the Hayu channel on Prime, go to your account> your prime video > channels and look for the Hayu thumbnail.

JessicaDay · 12/06/2020 17:43

Ah, see you’ve seen the free trial...which is what I mentioned in my post initially so I’m not sure why you were bitching at me about it not being free.

Guess you’re just a bit dumb.
