You are about to loose your children, house, whatever and you freak when the people who are there to help you empty THE TRASH CAN without you digging through it? Take the hoarder out of the damn house during the clean up, there is no way they would notice 99% of the crap missing. The only time they flip out is when they actually see it thrown out without their "permission". Bull shit on that, these people are there to help them but the hoarder always winds up with an attitude and most of the garbage they hoard by the end of the show. The lady with the rotting food that was still "edible" was just disgusting.

It's about helping the hoarder learn to let go. If it's cleaned up the hoarder will only pile it back up unless they get help for their emotional problems. They suffer from a mental disorder that's very hard to overcome.

Nowhere near enough time to undo years worth of lazy/mental illness. The show even states in the opening every week that this disorder is rarely cured. It's about good ratings, period.

My point is that it's not like one of those shows on HGTV about an organizer coming in & cleaning the shit up. They do work with the people some even though, like you said, rarely is there a cure.

Apparently they are given a lot of money and aftercare. The gay hoarder said he broke up with his creepy older boyfriend and is doing okay now.

Let us see how piled up & nasty their homes are now. Maybe that gay boy says he's doing OK but is he really? I'm glad to hear they get aftercare though.

He said he was no longer hoarding garbage and dog hair. The woman with the child hoarder was posting over there too but I didn't see how she was doing.
