DH hates it so I'll watch it on Catch Up. I haven't seen it for years but am interested in how it will work in a castle rather than a so called 'jungle'.

I always watched with DH he loved it so it’s sort of a bit of a comfort blanket thing for me it brings back memories of his chuckling at all the antics. There were a couple I had no clue about but it’s silly and trashy but quite funny at times I need something to lighten my mood on these dark lonely evenings.

I haven't watched it for a couple of years now but with this year being so rubbish I feel like losing myself in a bit of trash tv

shock Should have previewed my last comment. Standards are slipping.

I used to watch it but not the past 2 years. Not because I don't like it but more because I record a fair bit and have Netflix now. New hobby takes up a fair bit of of my time at this time of year.

Along the same lines my guilty pleasures are Strictly, Bake Off and the Masterchef programmes.

I prefer an early night, a good book and a cat who enjoys cuddles in her terms.

We didn't watch it for years. I couldn't think of anything worse but one year in a bored moment we switched it on. Now we're hooked.

It cheers me up no end to see them all suffering and screeching as the insects fall on them - great stuff!

Chateau is brilliant too!

I did peek out of castle curiosity but even the wonderful Sir Mo won’t tempt me again. Didn’t know there was a new Chateau series, thanks for the heads up EV.

I love it.
That castle is enormous.

I cannot stand it so that solves my problem re what to watch.

I half-heartedly saw the last half hour because I was watching the new series of the Chateau which I love.
I only recognised a couple of them and because I was getting ready for bed I wasn't really into it.
I don't know why they don't give members of the public the choice to do it as these people don't need the money.

Anyone else watching the above? I know its trash tv, but I look forward to it every year. My husband cant bear to be in the same room while I’m watching it!
