I Am Anticipating HOARDERS The New Series On A&E!

not on the show, but

"There was so much garbage, it left about 2½ feet of space between the pile and the ceiling. Apparently there were tunnels and the residents had to crawl on top of the debris to get around,"

Um . . . has anyone seen the new ones? SIR PATRICK?! O_O

sir patrick was so creepy.

this is my 2nd favorite show after Intervention.

right now I'm watching a repeat - in anticipation of tonight's new episode - in which the crew has to remove the bathroom door because there is a pile of years' worth of shit-soiled adult diapers

CLASSIC

i just watched Sir Patrick a minute ago –- he is a .... hero? I had to turn it off b/c his mental illness made me squeam.

he was actually the most depressing person ever on the show that I've seen, precisely because his emotional issues were so up front, whereas the more typical hoarders are way more roundabout with theirs.

Oh man... I normally have a pretty strong stomach for this (my mom is a big time hoarder), but I just watched the episode with the woman who hoarded thousands of dolls and it's the creepiest thing I've seen in years. Worse than any horror movie.

some commentary here: http://thehairpin.com/2010/12/the-doll-hoarding-episode-of-hoarders/

I've only seen two episodes of this but are they always split between

A. A normal-ish person who just saves crap all over
B. Someone who's got mountains of crappy toilet paper or seven year old yogurts bursting all over.

Because I only wish this show was only the "B" people

I wonder what it says about Whiney when he considers half the people he sees on Hoarders to be normal.

Hoarding disorder is a variety of OCD, and OCD sufferers tend to get very, very good at hiding their rituals and their mental issues.

Let me tell you, after half my apt burned down and I had to move out in a day, I can def relate to a lot of these A peepz.

All the experts are so nice except for this one bald guy whos a condescending dick to everyone :(

You guys, I thought I had a strong constitution until I watched the rats/cats ep last night. The rats pouring out of the walls/mattress/every available surface the rats THE RATS. It was tougher to watch than almost anything I've ever seen.

2500 FREE ROAMING RATS

thinkin about becoming a hoarder. maybe like 30 or 40 guinea pigz http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

if his FB is to be believed, there is an episode of this show filming down the street from my friend's house AS I TYPE THIS.

Is your friend local? GO CHECK THAT SHIT OUT!

He lives abt 60-70 miles north of me, actually, but I will be in that area tomorrow & may swing through if they are still filming.

For some fucked up reason I've been watching this show on Netflix and it's making me just as angry, especially people who cannot give a fuck about how badly they are hurting others, especially when those others are kids.

Like, spouses that are saying, "I can't live like this. I want to die" and the hoarding person is just like, "DON'T THROW OUT MY RAT URINE SOAKED PILE OF NEWSPAPERS." ARG.

I binge on this show a few episodes at a time and then don't watch it again for 10 or 12 months. I realize the compulsion to hoard is an illness, but about half the time on this show the hoarder in question is just a mean-ass person.

oof yeah there was one yesterday with a mom who got angry and screamed and threw knives at her daughters when she got angry, which was pretty much any time the daughters didn't do what she wanted. I was definitely advocating that her daughters got on with their own lives and let their mean ass mom live and die in her hoard.

There's one on now with a cat hoarder, and all of his cats are sick as fuck, and they keep finding dried up flat dead kittens in the layers of garbage in his house, and this dude I feel a lot of serious anger towards this poor, ill man.

So much so I can't formulate fully coherent sentences.

i watched one recently where the mom just sat on this trash throne all day drinking huge cups of soda and next to her throne were like 50 million empty soda bottles and i kinda thought that one would make a good one act play off-broadway. she never left that seat and her kids just tried to crawl through the wreckage. they could barely move inside the house. her daughter managed to cook in a kitchen that was knee deep in garbage.

I've started to realize that I have a little of this problem, but only in my pantry and freezer. With other accumulated stuff, we're not so bad — we sold/gave away half of our books this past weekend.

xp
blehhh, I only posted that because I thought they found a cat but it wasn't in that clip.
back when I watched one season of that show :/
