Following on from the In/Out of step threads.
I watched Big Brother in the very early days, but don't watch any now

I used to like 'The family'.
It was endlessly intriguing!

Only Sewing Bee and All that Glitters

I watched the first couple of I'm a Celebrity but the novelty soon wore off

I love The Repair Shop and Gogglebox. I don't think of them as reality but of course they are.

I watched the first Big Brother, which was probably back in the Stone Age. grin I’ve watched Bake Off and Sewing Bee in the past but they get stale and boring. I watched one series of Love Island a few years ago when my dd was home all summer.

We rarely watch tv at all. The last things we saw were the Queen’s funeral and three episodes of Bridgerton.

I like first dates and gogglebox smile

Of course, I only found out by accidentally watching them, so I think I've redeemed my foul tastes somewhat.

I never make a point of watching First Dates. In fact I wouldn’t even know when it’s on or which channel either. But I often channel hop late at night and if I hit upon First Dates I have to watch it to the end.

I think it's great when a couple really hit it off.

I thought I only watched a couple but after reading this thread it's more!

Never watched TOWIE, Geordie Shore, Married at First Sight
But I love the 90.Day Fiance shows and Dancing on Ice. Even though I dislike Holly and Philip.

Watching the jungle at the moment but I'm finding it rather hard going this year. So many dull people.

I’m ashamed to say that I watch Made in Chelsea and have done so from about series three. It’s now totally scripted and absolute rubbish but I can’t get out of the habit of watching it. And the fact that these obscenely rich young people are paid to go on wonderful holidays when many people can’t afford holidays is also obscene. I wish it would be pulled because it’s way past it’s sell by date and then I couldn’t watch it.

Have never watched big brother or anyone (celeb or not )on an island, Love or otherwise or Essex or Chelsea but do like 24 hrs A and E and really missing GPs behind closed doors though now I come to think of it that’s maybe where they all are, hiding. Certainly havnt seen mine since 2019, but that’s another thread.
Enjoy repair shop and Occasionally watch strictly and sewing 🧵 bee.
Really fond the moment when they announce who is going out annoying with the unnecessarily long pause.
