Re: THE HOARDERS
oh that looks fascinating, in a really sick kinda way!
Did you see any of the "Obsessed" series? Like the woman who kept pulling her hair out :eek: They had a hoarder too. I always feel sad after watching these programs so I try not to, but sometimes I just can't help it :rolleyes:

You gotta get a DVR Cindy, they are a life saver. Well as long as you don't try to use it as a flotation device whilst it is plugged in.

I really admired the woman who was helping that Steve guy out. She appeared to really care about what happened to him and didn't try to shame him into anything--you got the feeling that she was just a very kindhearted person.

Re: THE HOARDERS
I have to say, I'm obsessed (har-dee-har-har!) with these shows -- Intervention, Obsessed and now Hoarders. They are just really, really fascinating to me.
Admittedly, I get frustrated with Intervention because they spend about 3 minutes on the part where the person goes to rehab and you (sometimes) get to see how things turned around for them. I wish they'd spend less time on filming them doing drugs, etc and spend more time on the actual intervention and recovery. Still, 95% of the time I end up teary-eyed and really rooting for the person and/or their family. Obsessed and Hoarders are a bit more interesting for me because I can probably relate to them a bit more. I've never done any drugs or hard drinking, etc so the stuff that happens on Intervention is pretty foreign to me. However, I am a messy person and have certain compulsions/phobias that allow me to understand the "obsessed" and hoarders a little bit. I really like seeing how the therapists treat them, particularly with the hoarding, because it's such a hidden taboo that we rarely see or talk about. Last week's Hoarders episode was great -- one therapist's approach was successful (the big guy who lived in that tiny apartment), and the other's didn't really work (the woman who cleaned half a room in one day, despite having 5+ people helping her). It wasn't until I saw that episode that I realized that there is more than one way to approach hoarding and treating it. I'm interested to see what other types of people/situations they'll have on these shows. ~ Jenney |
