    Everybody has it: that one TV that you know is objectively ~not good~, yet you've watched every single episode and you can't wait for more.

    Adult Swim

    Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community which TV shows they can't stop watching, despite knowing they're terrible. Here are just some of the many responses:

    1. Floribama Shore

    "I know people think it is just another trashy MTV show — and it mostly is — but I SWEAR it is my favorite show to unwind to."

    2. The Secret Life of the American Teenager

    "The show is probably the worst of my favorites. But I can’t get over the fact that it’s so entertaining, and NGL I love the storylines. (Ricky and Amy forever tho.)"

    —peynor

    3. MTV's The Challenge (and Survivor)

    MTV

    "I am so ashamed to admit to people that I still watch and love MTV’s The Challenge. Every single season gets better and better. It is like Survivor on steroids. Also, I LOVE Survivor!"

    4. Below Deck and Below Deck Med

    Bravo

    "Sometimes the overt sexism of some of the cast members ruins the season, but watching drunken fights over absolutely nothing on a boat somehow never gets old."

    5. Jersey Shore

    MTV

    "It's a trashy show, and they keep doing weird stuff. But I can't stop watching it."

    6. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

    7. Too Hot to Handle

    "It's...so stupid. The people in the show seem so stupid, so shallow ... I'm on the asexuality spectrum; it's very difficult for me to understand how and why it can be so hard for them to resist sex for a little while. But for some reason, I binge it every time."

    8. My Crazy Ex

    "No, not the pretty good CW show, that was Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. My Crazy Ex was a Lifetime show, which you can watch on Tubi, where they re-enact these wild allegedly true tales of people's failed romances, though I have my doubts that these are any more real than a letter to Penthouse. It is hilarious and terrible (see also: Untold Stories of the ER)."

    9. Gossip Girl

    "Original Gossip Girl. It gets more outlandish the longer you watch, but it's SO fun to watch! The clothes, the excess, the depravity of it all."

    10. Riverdale

    "I cannot stop watching it but continually ask what the heck is going on. The Season 3 finale was the most bizarre hour of TV I have ever watched, but I keep coming back for more."

    11. Love Is Blind

    "Ridiculously scripted and cringey, all the participants are either unlikable or meh. Yet I gotta know who's still together."

    12. Dawson's Creek

    "I don't feel comfortable admitting how many times I've rewatched it on Netflix.

    It's... oddly comforting? The nostalgia, the '90s fashion, the dramatic music, the tortured love triangles and angsty high-schoolers... I love it. I'm fully aware that it's a terrible show, but I still put it on whenever I'm having a bad day. It's like a security blanket."

    13. Glee

    Fox

    "I watched when it originally aired, and it has since become my comfort show. So when someone says they’ve never seen an episode, I tell them they’ve truly missed nothing and everything at the exact same time 🙃."

    —saraw19

    14. Keeping Up With the Kardashians

    E! Network

    "I'm so sorry."

    15. Love Island

    CBS

    "Absolute rubbish but I find it so compelling and fun to talk about."

    16. The Bachelor/Bachelorette

    "I tell myself every single season that I’m not going to watch and then see one promo and BAM! I'm sucked back in. It’s so overdramatic and obvious that so much is set up by producers, but I somehow just can’t look away."

    —bessofthebest11

    17. Bachelor in Paradise

    "I absolutely love Bachelor in Paradise. I get so bored of Bachelor/Bachelorette so easily because it’s so repetitive. But I could watch season after season of Bachelor in Paradise because it’s the best trash there is."

    —schleymanor

    18. Wife Swap and Kitchen Nightmares

    Fox

    "Wife Swap USA and Kitchen Nightmares USA. They’re so over edited and so over the top that I feel my brain cells dying when I watch them, but they’re so fun."

    —kathryna456a720b8

    19. And finally, the whole 90 Day Fiancé universe

    TLC

    "All the 90 Day Fiancé shows! I especially like Pillow Talk because no one I know watches the show, and it’s fun hearing someone else's perspective."
