TV Guilty Pleasures

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Instant Hotel on Netflix. Reality TV nonsense from Australia - but for a Brit looking at Australia and Australians it was a great fun and interesting watch- we loved it. The locations of all of the 'hotels' were fabulous - the owners - well - very Australian Hoping for a Series 3 this year.

Also from the same part of the planet, Outback Truckers...monster trucks/rigs moving mad loads across incredible landscapes.

Another vote for A Place in the Sun.

I do get mightily annoyed by the time wasters and tyre kickers!

Ditto. Particularly like the older episodes with Jasmine

It seems to be happening more and more.

Watched one last week, this couple are looking for an apartment on the Costa Del Sol with a budget of 200k. They "fall in love" with number 5 which has been on the market for a week at 210k.

The wife says she has to have it.

They offer 170k. The owners come back and say the lowest they will take is 184k, they say "no thanks, 170 was our final offer".

You just have to laugh at the brass neck of some of them!

A couple at our club were on it about 6 or 7 years ago. They fell in love with a place in Italy, and then bottled it when having to make the decision to buy.

I moved to Japan in 2001, was supposed to be a permanent move with work which didn't work out as planned. I know from my own experience that it is a tough decision to make the move, my eldest lad at the time was only 13 and living with his mum. Meant I wouldn't see him regularly, other than via video call, was a hard call to go.

I agree with you about the ones who have a budget, try for a cheeky offer, and then don't go with it even when the seller accepts something less than they budget for.

Naked Attraction. And not just for nude ladies as I do have the internet - I genuinely think the show is really funny.

I would be genuinely worried if you were watching it for the nude ladies. Sometimes the bits on show are stomach turning

Just Tattoo of Us on MTV, cringeworthy, load of rubbish, can’t help myself.?‍

Watching people letting themselves get abused with a tattoo has me shaking my head in disbelief, hilarious at times what “mates” do to each other.

Haha. It's funny, I watch it with the wife. I guess we're both comfortable enough in ourselves to pass judgement on willies and boobs equally. The presenter is quite funny as well with how brazen her line of questioning usually is. I always crack up when they vote someone off and say "she seems a bit shy". Mate, she's naked on the telly, she ain't shy! Also they'll vote the fattest one off first and diplomatically say something like "I think her breasts are too large for me". Pull the other one!

Why would you be guilty about any of them? Aren't they just normal shows?

Is watching any TV show a guilty pleasure or just a necessity these days.

One thing I do not do normally is binge watch. I normally like to have the expectation of waiting for the next episode to be shown.

Miami Vice.
And having finished TNG and Enterprise, back on a repeat trawling through DS9.

They seem a little contradictory to me, or am I mis-reading them?
