i have watched every episode and i do enjoy the show. i have hoarding through my family lines and i definitely fight it myself but i do sell some of my stuff which i think changes a lot for a hoarder. i personally think if someone hoards animals, they deserve no help and deserve the treatment that they inflict on their "beloved" pets and allow them to suffer. otherwise, i do think they leave the people with lots to do. many of the hoarders do frustrate me greatly. some of them need more serious mental health assistance. Ms Melva Green is probably my favorite helper.
