Guilty pleasures… we all have them in one way or another. Whether it’s secretly subscribing to The National Enquirer, jamming out to One Direction when you’re alone in your car, or digging into a family size bag of Doritos under the covers after a long day.
Personally, my guilty pleasures are all television or movie related (shocker). They are the things I watch that I am afraid to admit I deeply enjoy… the things that are so bad they’re good. Here are ten of my television and movie vices:
TV:
- Teen Mom 2
- Pretty Wild (it lasted only one season around eight years ago, but I re-watch it on Netflix regularly)
- The Bachelor/ Bachelorette
- Jersey Shore
- Any and every Lifetime special (my top picks include Who Is Clark Rockefeller?, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy, Jodi Arias: Dirty Little Secret, Blue Eyed Butcher, and William & Kate)
MOVIES:
- Sleeping with the Enemy (and Enough, they are similar and equally as riveting)
- Twilight
- Wild Things
- It’s Complicated
- Bewitched (thank you Nicole Kidman…thank you)
The above works of art bring me so much happiness and escape, that I am not even sure why I am embarrassed to admit how much I love them. Sure, I might be more intellectually stimulated by Mad Men or American Beauty, but there is nothing wrong with needing a little mindless catharsis every now and then. Why should guilt ever be associated with harmless pleasure?
So, confess! What are the shows and movies you lie about loving?
