About this challenge
About this Challenge
This Challenge is rated TV-E for Everyone (and maybe slightly Embarrassing). There are undoubtedly many television shows, past and present, that we cannot turn away from, no matter how embarrassing to admit. Such shows — or guilty pleasures — give us a break from reality, a little escape, or simply a good laugh. For this Challenge, reveal the guilty pleasure TV show that you may be hesitant to confess is your favorite. A guilty pleasure is entirely subjective, and this is a no-judgment zone, so all are safe here. Some shows offer us comfort or an outlet, and that's ok!
Are you obsessed with baking competitions and home-improvement shows, or do you love a cheesy reality series? Do you find yourself overly invested in dating show romance, or are you more of a classic sitcom rerun fan? Whether you follow the gossip outside of the show, get lost in comment-section discussions, or catch up and watch in secret, what is it about this show that you enjoy the most? What about it also makes it a little cringy?
Share which binge-worthy TV show is unapologetically your all-time guilty pleasure to watch by entering the Guilty Pleasure Binge Challenge. We encourage you to add stills from your favorite episodes or clips of the show, if available! You can learn how to embed media in your stories here.
