I read more than I watch tv but I have some guilty pleasures.
No, I don’t follow that Kardashian family or watch any of those trashy Real Housewives shows. It’s worse.
And no, I haven’t watched a soap since many, many years ago when I got hooked on Coronation Street. I probably wouldn’t even recognize any of the characters on that soap anymore.
My wife Karen has got me hooked on two shows – both reality shows that don’t have a lot of redeeming value.
One is Catfish where two counsellors help online people who have been “ghosted” or never met their online love in person. I get wrapped up in the mystery half of the relationship every time.
But, I really hate to admit it, the ultra trashy Love Island has got me hooked. It happened gradually. I’d be on the computer reading about the latest news and Karen would put on Love Island and at first I wouldn’t pay attention. Then I started mocking or making fun of some of the “contestants” who I found really annoying.
Now I’m hooked.
Got a guilty pleasure?
