Yes, the biggest guilty
For some reason, I love to watch “Say Yes to the Dress.” I’ve never been married and have never shopped for a dress with a relative. But there’s just something about watching women of all ages and sizes trying on beautiful dresses that really says something to me.
I agree. What I really like about SYTD is the fact that a bride can find a dress that really flatters her figure, regardless of her body type.
I watched an episode and was appalled at how bad the women were at picking out dresses that flattered them. Most women should not wear strapless or sleeveless gowns.
I love SYTD. I never even plan on getting married but I’ve never missed an episode. I wouldn’t call it a guilty pleasure though. I’m not embarrassed that I watch it at all.
I’ve never even heard of “Say yes to the dress.”
LOL me either – not even sure what network it airs on…
It’s on TLC
It’s between Wipeout and Rock of Love, if you ask me.
i love say yes to the dress! i was surprised that i’d like it, but i do, lol. it makes me want to go to kleinfeld’s and just try on dresses even though i’m not even dating, and don’t really like clothes shopping, haha.
SYTD is one of my favorite shows, it makes me want to get married again just to try on dresses at Kleinfeld’s lol
SYTD is the best!! Such a great show that i even DVR when I can’t watch. Also great to marathon. I also love wipeout because I loved John Henson on the soup and he gets some great one-liners on Wipeout. Plus it is always a great time seeing people fall over and over again in slo-mo replays.
Well, it sounds like SYTTD will win the top award. We need to hear from some men! What do men think?
As to the win, doesn’t it depend on what people are basing their votes on? By definition, a guilty pleasure is something you enjoy but know you shouldn’t. I wouldn’t classify Say Yes to the Dress that way at all, and that’s not the sense I’ve gotten from most of these comments.
I wish they’d included Paradise Hotel in this showdown! I looooved the first season.
I love watching Randy and Keisha. They are both extemely entertaining. I also just love seeing how the different dresses fit on everyone’s shape. I recently got married and thought that I would hate to try on wedding dresses for fear that they would all look bad on me. To my great surprise every one of them looked better than the rest. The dresses themselves are like magic and it is so fun to watch other women go through that experience.
I love Say Yes to the Dress, not just for the beautiful dresses and the sometimes silly bridezilla drama, but because the show highlights how people touch the lives of others. Although most of these women will most likely won’t stay in contact with their bridal consultant, it’s still a moment that will be remembered forever. The consultants strive to make the brides’ experience memorable every day. Some of the brides’ love stories or family stories really bring me to tears when you see everything coming together for them. It’s like a modern-day fairytale.
I LOVE SYTD, Randy is the BEST! My girlfriends and I want to go to Kleinfelds just to see what dress he would pick for us!
Say Yes to the Dress is about women and beautiful dresses…but it imparts an important lesson about family dynamics and human nature. But Randy makes it fun!
I L.O.V.E. SYTD mostly because the dresses are so gorgeous and so different from previous generations, there’s so much variety and bling! And the brides look beautiful in them. Each bride’s experience is different and keeps me coming back for more. I feel a part of the “family” with Sarah, Diane, Audry, I also love Randy, he’s a kick in the pants! He’s very knowledgeable about the industry and his humor is very engaging.
Oh Keisha, how could I forget you! I love your laugh, and you’re so personable to each bride.
