What's a guilty pleasure in entertainment that you'd be a little embarrassed to admit you love?

A natural way to answer

I'd have to confess to a weakness for predictable, formulaic romance films. I know exactly how every one will end, and yet I watch them anyway. There's a strange comfort in something so reliably daft. It's not high art, but it does the job, and I've stopped feeling guilty about it.

Key phrases to use

• tear myself away — force yourself to stop doing something enjoyable“I can't tear myself away from it.”
• live it down — escape the embarrassment of something after time passes“I'd never live it down if they knew.”
• hook, line and sinker — completely and totally, without holding back any reservation“I fell for it hook, line and sinker.”
• switch our brains off to — relax with something that needs no thought“Everyone needs something silly to switch their brains off to.”
