I thought a fun idea would be for some of us to share some of our "guilty pleasures" when it comes to what we love to watch, read, listen to, or whatever.  I got the idea when I was thinking about some of the ribbing I took when I admitted that I loved the show Survivor.  I thought that maybe there were more of us that loved shows, movies, books or whatever but they might not be completely disposed to admit to it or talk about here on the forums.

So spill it, folks...no embarrassment, no judgements, just for fun, let those skeletons out of their closets!

Just as a tease, I have another good one besides Survivor, that I watch religiously and have never talked about here, but I'm not telling until some other people post  ;) ;) ;)

Jamie and I love Survivor and The Amazing Race, so those are our guilty pleasures. Jamie has a bunch of others I don't watch that even I am embarrassed to admit too! ;) And I love that Lady Gaga song "Bad Romance" :)

Ok, i'll go...I watch Real Housewives of New York City with the wife - but to be fair this is in exchange for her watching Family Guy with me.  I'll come clean to having watched Sex in the City with her....oh the shame!

I don't think I have any guilty pleasures. I like what I like and I don't get embarrassed. That being said, I did read all the Twilight books. Not because I enjoyed them a stories, but I couldn't help but watch as the train wreck unfolded.

I watch America's Next Top Model.  Yep, I do.  And I LOVE it.

Hmm....I watch anime?  (Not talking about US cartoons). 

Really, none of mine are guilty pleasures anymore, just weird compared to some people.

Uhh, not likely, if my parents are any indication.  ;) 

Honestly I just had no idea what would be considered a guilty pleasure for me.

How old are your parents? Ask them did they ever watch robotech or starblazers. Unless they are 60+, there is a good chance that they saw some anime even if they didn't know it.

Well I'll admit to mine...I am addicted to the MTV serial Jersey Shore. I find it simultaneously hysterically funny and totally shocking and unbelievable.  It's a window into the public lives of people i would never meet, know or interact with in any kind of way beyond the completely superficial and i find it fascinating.  And I have to say, last Monday's episode where Snooki got arrested for public indecency was the absolutely best ever. ;)

Huge Friends fan (yes planning a podcast) and I can't help but enjoy DIY SOS, Cowboy builders, Road Wars, any programme involving following police and ambulances, any cooking programmes so my list is very guilty and I watch em with chocolate and beer OHHHHH YEAHHHHHHH lol.
