We all have those shows that we can't seem to take our eyes away from. We become obsessed, staying in on a Friday night to watch the latest season of our favorite show that Neflix just uploaded and lying to friends and family because we're a little embarrassed about it.  

These are your guilty pleasures, and I'm here to let you know you're not alone in your obsession. I have listed the six "drama obsessed" TV shows that seem to be taking over the world.

"Gossip Girl" 

"You know you love me. xoxo Gossip Girl." For some that line is music to the ears signaling a new episode of "Gossip Girl" is about to begin. "GG" is a show that fans have been obsessed with for six seaons. It's filled with juicy gossip, lust, and betrayal. Who could keep their eyes away? For those of you who have never seen it, "Gossip Girl" is about the lives of five Upper East Side friends from New York who are rich and beautiful. An ultra-secretive blogger, dubbed Gossip Girl, follows them through every phase of their life from getting married to  finding illegitimate family members. Gossip Girl usually ruins one of their schemes or suprises, so the five friends are continuously trying to find out who this blogger is but have not yet been able to.

"GG" offers a nice study break when you're repeatedly banging your head on your desk trying to retain information for an upcoming test, or a tantalizing love story for the hopeless romantic in you.

"Gossip Girl" appeals to all types of people. If you've slept with your best friend's boyfriend, there's a character for you. If you've slept with your boyfriend's best friend, there's a character for you. If you're an outsider not sure where to fit in, there's a character for you.

Gossip Girl is so infatuating for many because the lives these characters lead are ao alluring and unattainable. Since the show is scripted much of it is a little over dramatized, but for 40 minutes each week a viewer can leave their normal, bland lives and enter the world of the rich and beautiful. Among the back-stabbing, lying, and fakeness there are real stories about people falling in and out of love. There's the story of a"lonely boy" who falls in love with the most beautiful girl in the high school and she chooses him. Then there's the story about the good girl who falls in love with the bad boy and she somehow finds a way to tame him.

For some this is a sad Fall TV season because it is the last season of Gossip Girl. If you've found this is the show for you it airs at 9:00 pm on the CW and if that's not enough seasons 1-5 are on Netflix!

"Here Comes Honey Boo Boo"

"A dolla makes me holla honey boo boo child." These are the famous words from the six-year-old pagent star Alana Thompson aka Honey Boo Boo. Alana first came onto the reality TV scene when she was a part of TLC's reality TV show, Toodlers and Tiaras. Her outrageous and hilarious antics made her famous. Viewers just couldn't get enough of her southern charm so TLC made a show all about her, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

This is one show not many will admit to watching. There's not much substance to it, but viewers can't get enough of the bubbly six year old. The show follows Alana and her family in their home state of Georgia, and thus far Honey Boo Boo's family hasn't disappointed viewers. They're crude, loud, and wacky...but in a cute way. Alana gets her "unique" personality from her "mama" June and anything goes. 

Having a dog or a cat would be too normal for the Thompson family, so they had a pet pig instead. Honey Boo Boo dutifully named the pig Glitzy following her pagent personality. Unfortunately "mama" made Alana give Glitzy away because she just wasn't giving enough attention to the cute little pig. This didn't keep Alana down for long... she now has a pet chicken named Nugget.

This show isn't for the highly intellectual mind, but if you have just had a mind numbingly hard week at school or work "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" may be just right for you. Sit back and chuckle while you watch the Thompson's "unique" style of living.

"The Real Housewives"

"The Real Housewives" is simply a show about middle-aged rich women and their cat fights. Accordingly, America can't get enough of it. The Real Housewives originally started out with "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and it became an instant success with eight seasons. Riding the way of success, there are now The Real Housewives of Atlanta, New York, New Jersey, Beverly Hills, and Miami.

Most viewers love episodes filled with drama, yelling, and trash talking, but there's much more to the Housewives than that ... or so they say. The housewives are dealing with real issues in their day-to-day lives and they show viewers how they cope with their problems. Issues such as suicide, divorce, and depression are just some of the many things these "housewives" are going through. Although some viewers are paying attention to these real issues, most are just tuning in to see these badly behaved rich women spin out of control.

Polls show young and middle-aged women alike watch this show, and it's no surprise. These housewives are saying and doing things that normal people wouldn't do and in their day to day lives and that's fascinating to viewers. These women backstab their friends, let the world know just how important they think they are, and speak without a filter. It doesn't matter what state the housewives are in, New York or Orange County the show has viewers obsessed, and they don't plan on stopping anytime soon.

The 5th season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" just started on Nov. 4th on Bravo. It's okay to watch, just tell everyone you're watching "Boardwalk Empire" or "The Newsroom".

"Jersey Shore"

House music: CHECK, spray tan: CHECK, hairspray: CHECK. Now you're ready to watch the cast of Jersey Shore wrap up their final season. "Jersey Shore" has one of the biggest love/hate relationships with its viewers. They're sick of it, but they just can't get enough.

The setting is the same (Seaside Heights), the clubs are the same (Karma), the house is the same, everything is the same. This can be a little repetitive for viewers because Deena is still a sloppy drunken mess, Roger and JWOWW are still fighting, Ron and Sam are still together, Mike is still single, and Pauly and Vinny are still in love with each other. The only person to change is Snooki because she's a mom now. Snooki was a big reason many watched the show and it just isn't the same without Snooki always being their to make a fool of herself. Yes she'll make occasional vists, but hardly any "meatball days."

These just aren't types of people we deal with on a day-to-day basis but after six seasons you feel like you really know the characters. The show is long overdue to end and viewers know it's embarrassing to watch, but they have to see the drunken antics, hook ups, and fights to satisfy their "Jersey Shore" craving. Viewers don't want to admit it, but there's just something about the "Jersey Shore" that keeps people hooked even though it's the same scenario over and over.

The crew's still gotta couple fist pumps left in them and viewers aren't expecting anything less then a true "Jersey Shore" style ending filled with hot-tubs, alcohol, and pranks.

"Dance Moms"

This show blasted onto the scene last year, and it has a lot to do with the main star, Abby Lee Miller.

Miller is a crazy, tough dance instructor/company owner at the Abby Lee Dance Company in Pittsburgh, PA. Miller isn't afraid to tell her students they "suck" or that they need to step it up. She trains only the best and the show focuses on a group of the chosen dancers and their mothers. Miller pushes her students to the limit because she wants to win those competitions and bring home the trophies.

The show takes a normal thing, a dance studio, and turns it into this power-hungry, over-the-top maniac house filled with raging hormones. It is bound to be a disaster, but viewers love it. They cry when one of the girls loses a competition and get angry when their favorite mother gets ganged up on, and curse the larger-than-life Miller when she goes too far. Even though it seems as if some scenes are set up and situations are staged, viewers continue to watch because there is a "villian" and a "hero" and they are rooting for their choice to win.

This show attracts viewers of all sorts because there are many different storylines. There are the mothers who are constantly bickering with each other and with Miller, the girls who are competing against each other everyday, and the Miller who is taking on the world by herself. Most viewers can relate to at least one of the characters in some way, and that's what keeps them coming back.

Pretty Little Liars

"Got a secret, can you keep it?" Ring a bell? For most it does, and it brings forth scenes from "Pretty Little Liars".

This has been a guilty pleasure for many over the years. "PLL" started in 2010 and is still airing new episodes. The show follows four girls who start getting harassed by an annonymous person, "A", after their friend dies. "A" threatens to reveal all of their secrets.

The big draw for this show is the quest to find out who "A" is. Each viewer has their own ideas of who "A" is and why she/he/they is/are torturing the four teenage girls. The show hasn't revealed who the ultimate "A" is, and who can stop watching when so many questions haven't been answered? Besides the wiild goose chase the show takes you on trying to find out who "A" is, there are also many tight spots each teenager gets themselves into. One fraternizes with the enemy and almost gets herself killed, one harbors a secret relationship with her teacher, and another is experimenting with the opposite sex and hiding from the ones she loves. "PLL" tries to show how normal teeangers live with, a little mix of death, murder, and investigation. On top of it all, the viewers become addicted with trying to untangle the messy lives of the teenagers and start watching the episodes over and over to clarify things.

Young viewers can't get enough of it because they can relate on many levels with these girls. They have watched each character grow and have slowly marked off people from their potential "A" list. Besides this, "PLL" is everywhere. People are tweeting, facebooking, and instagraming the latest news and it's impossible to avoid. Oh and how can we forget the "PLL" marathons on ABC Family. You watch one and then you're addicted and you suddenly forget about the four page paper you have to get done or the test you have to study for that's only a few hours away.

You can't stop. You won't stop.

There's these six and there's plenty more where they came from. It's a vicious cycle, but what would we watch if we didn't have them? The History Channel? Didn't think so.
