We love this show, however, these people need more help than a 3-4 day clean up. They need therapy before the show in addition to the after care that is offered. It's frustrating to see how they always want to keep their stuff and get angry not understanding they have to get rid of much of it. We have a friend who is a hoarder and she has no close family. The distant ones will have a big chore of cleaning up her 2 residences. Probably 95 percent of it will be trashed. This show makes me think twice before I buy anything. Do I need it? Probably not. Go for a walk instead.
