I think they are confusing being mentally ill or downright lazy with hoarding. My grandfather (May he rest in peace) was a "hoarder". He held on to
"interesting articles" from the New York Daily News, "special" magazines and things of sentimental value. However, his house was not a pig
sty. Augustine's bathroom was nasty and disgusting. I don't see what that has to do with hoarding. And, how could she not smell the two dead cats?
After watching this show, I am never going to eat potluck again.

The whole thing was nasty, but when she started chomping on the raw hot dog I kinda wretched. Ungrateful slob. It's up on the A & E website for those
who missed it.

As much as I disliked her son, he did make me chuckle a couple of times. He has a strange outlook on life, to be sure.
The daughter? Poor thing, she's stuck. She'll never escape that bitter old witch of a mother. So Augustine was a bastard. So her mother hated her. What's to love? |

via Broadcasting & Cable. The second season premiere of Hoarders drew 3.2 million viewers, including 1.9 million adults 18-49 and 25-54. The demo ratings were the best season premiere numbers in network history. That is also up 52% in total viewers and 46% in the demo over the first season average |

She said that she had no water for 6 years.
I can not imagine what that place smelled like. Good for the clean up man that refused to work in that bathroom. What an ungrateful bitch she was to the guys that found her teeth. Psych lady had to tell her to thank them. |

Some things were just not making sense, she has no running water? It's not like she lives on an isolated farm, she is in a subdivison, wouldn't the
town get involved? She hasn't taken a shower in 6 years? How do the cats get water? Does she sleep in that chair? I wish A&E went into more detail
about why that place just wasn't bulldozed.

I thought it was that she had no gas, and thus no HOT water. I think she did still have running water.

Oh yeah, I think you're right. I took one look at the bathroom fauet and assumed she had no water. God, I can't get that disgusting image out of my
head.

i still did not see a working water faucet anywhere. if she had some cold water access maybe she took a whore's bath. she had nowhere to poo and i thought
is saw one of the workers pick up a jar with poop and pee in it.
i wish the show focused more on the true hoarders and not pig people. she had a mental disorder but hoarding had little to do with it. |

I don't think she had water because on the site it says she goes somewhere once a week to take a shower, and because there is no fucking way a toilet
should look like that if there is running water.

^ Ahhh...it's not any kind of mental illness...it's "hillbilly."

I don't know if she's mentally ill or not, I haven't read her psych eval.

she had nowhere to poo and i thought is saw one of the workers pick up a jar with poop and pee in it.I did actually see this part...when they showed her in her easy chair, in the one room she could still live in? Beside her chair you can see one of those senior port-a-potty things. Blech. |

She was panting the whole entire time.
This is the first time I've seen this show sober. I am amazed at how much I wanted to clean my apartment afterward. Poor cats |

She's more Yat than Hillbillly.
She must live near a Rally Burger, that's what most of that garbage was and also what she was eating in the shitty recliner. I hate to defend her but it is entirely possible she evacuated for Katrina and therefor didn't know the cats were in there still and died in Garbage Mountain. If she was gone for a few months then that could explain why she didn't notice the stench, it might have just dulled down to the level of the rest of the house. Also Katrina roof damage could explain why the bathroom ceiling was caving in. But at the same time she strikes me as someone who would have stayed and refused to leave. Gretna didn't have the damage of the lower Parishes or even the Lower 9th ward in NOLA. |

I think she didn't smell them because they were rotting amidst 8,000 pounds of garbage. That's how much they shoveled out. Would any of us really be
able to smell rotting carcass in an indoor landfill? I know I wouldn't.

Revolting. I overshot the commercials just to get it over sooner. The old pictures made me think that she was a former hottie who never had to fend for herself. Her own kid said she acted entitled, so I bet that's her deal. And way to treat the people who will decide if you get sent to a home someday. good plan |

Even the "Hoarder Specialist" was surprised at how nonchalant Augustine was during the clean-up. She definitely suspected then that this wasn't
an ordinary case of hoarding, if it was hoarding at all.
