I'm trying to get my parents to get rid of stuff but they were Depression Era kids and you never throw anything out that still might be "good."
It's a battle.

i hate the shows that have slobby people that just never take out the trash or buy formula 409 and use it.
but as i was thinking about that and wishing for more shows with real hoarders that keep 'stuff' not TRASH, they proably don't get much opportunity to do intervention shows for true hoarders because they want to keep their shit |

I just caught my first episode of this today and I was furious cat lady wasn't charged with anything. They should have euthanized that hag and her
worthless husband on the spot.

I just caught this show on-line. The cat lady was just sad.
The kid obviously has ocd amongst his other problems (Father has probably abused him mentally as well). The other episode I saw was the wife who was a compulsive shopper & the husband who was the hoarder. When it took time to clean up the mess, she was more than willing to let things go. But you could totally see in his face and body that he was having a really hard time! When the six year old son started to freak out about the plastic house saying he wanted his kids to play in it. My heart broke. The other one was the formerly poor lady who hoards food. When she pulled the rotting cabbage leaves off the cabbage & then said the rest of it was perfectly good, I wanted to be sick. I am a bit of a mess, but watching this show got me all paranoid that I am a hoarder & I started a major cleaning thing the next morning! I would never want to go there! |

I just wanted to smack the living shit out of both of these women. No feelings of sympathy for either.
My DVR cut off the end so I don't know if they got things cleaned up or not but both of them need some slapping around. |

How do these fat ugly mentally ill cows attract boyfriends and husbands? Poor bald guy- he can't really leave because HE is paying the mortgage on that
condo- she isnt working so where is he supposed to go?
My Uncle was involved with one of these. She filled 2 houses, a room in my grandmothers house and then they bought a condo together and she filled the whole place up- except for one room where he keeps the door locked. All I can say about why he stays with her is she must give AMAZING blow jobs. Bald guy needs to throw the shit out of one bedroom and put a bed in there and keep it locked. he has no balls and even she said she bosses him around. I knew both of these would fail because they both needed therapy on what was the original mental problem- the stuff is only the symptom. Okay so the maids pick up the paper garbage from the bathroom- why did that STUPID therapist even tell Kerrylea? I mean she should have tossed the bag- not pointed it out! I guess they think these people need coddling because the shoveling method doesnt work..If I were the husband I would just hire someone to toss it all out-they are going to be homeless living in the street..fucktards... let her have a nervous breakdown...the roll top desk incident was HILARIOUS! All these stupid clutterers adore their broken down roll tops desks. Oh and cat rudy- No both were colossal failures. |

I've seen a couple of episodes - both of which have almost made me physically ill. The first was the guy in the public housing complex who couldn't
throw away his trash. That lead to having a bathroom of used disposable diapers. ::yak:: How in gods name that organizer woman was able to clean up that
(literal) crap is beyond me.
Second was the old lady who couldn't throw away rotten food. She had a drawer in her refrigerator full of expired, dripping meat and would not throw away other items that had 'stewed' in the disgusting ecoli-ridden meat juices. ::urp:: |

Those were the two most disgusting ones- except for the dead cats. You can go watch these episodes online..but seriously this show is not entertaining.

The women this week seemed like the most lost costy. I mean did either of them get much done?

No, it really isn't. I wish the therapists would just mentally anally rape them by throwing EVERYTHING away. Let them touch the truck as it pulls out of
the driveway, but throw it all out except for antiques and a few heirlooms.
The rotting food? In a hazmat bin and out the door. The boxes of empty packages? In a recycling bin or dump truck. No questions asked. No coddling, no babying. Do it intervention style. Just DO something. |

I do question the concept of the show.
It's clear they KNOW these people have had these issues for years. How can they expect them to get over it in two days? |

Haven't watched this weeks epi yet but have to agree that these people need professional help. 2 days with a crew to clean their "pits of
despair" is not going to cut it. These peep's need medication and a psychiatrist or they are going to just go back to their hoarding ways. The young
boy last week was suicidal, no purging of his clutter was going to fix that so quickly.

The chick this week who threw a fit and called the cops on her mom for cleaning her stuff REALLY needed to GTFO. I kinda wish her mom had lit the place on fire
or something and been like "Keep the ashes"

The epilogues explain that the hoarders are usually offered counseling and assistance after the initial clean-up. Looks like some of them take advantage of it,
at least initially. I would imagine 99% of them go back to hoarding within a couple of months. I would be curious to see a "where are they now"
episode.

I bet they either won't do any follow-ups or they will just follow-up on the ones who get better... or much much worse.

I watched most of these episodes on-demand and I'm amazed that the cat couple didn't get charged. That's beyond fucked up. I don't even want to
think of how that house must smell like even now. Gag. How did they not get charged with at least a health violation? Unreal. I also don't understand how
these landlords "threaten" these people w/eviction. I'd have them gone in a desperate attempt to save my property.

This show drives me nuts !!!!!
These people are human refuse and thoroughly disgusting ! Crapping on your bathroom floor for - what - weeks ? months ? years ??? Dead animal carcasses, rotting meat, garbage piled on top of garbage - and they are fucking BABIED by the "therapists" ! Better solution: 5150 these psychos, and gut the whole house. I hate it when the therapists let them fondle every fricking item and carefully consider whether they REALLY wanna throw it away, from shotgun shells to oily road maps to the cat shit in the litter box. Face it - hoarders are SICK ! Shove 'em aside and get the cleaning crew on the job. Thought I would like this show - turns out I really only watch it to get grossed out and to feel superior to these people. |
