I just find it hard to believe that the people who actually let their house get that dirty are going to invite the world to see how disgusting their house is. If my house looked like that I would be ashamed.
Sometimes I wonder, too. Maybe sometimes they trash their house just to get on the show.
But, I actually have a friend whose mother has a "hoarding" problem (or disease, really). She literally has a small path through boxes and papers and assorted other junk. It goes from the front door to her recliner and to her bed. From her bed, there is a path to the toilet. She didn’t seem to be too embarrassed for me to see her house. Maybe sometimes people really don’t understand that the way they live is so different!!!

Me too, I would never let my house get that dirty….but maybe some people are just to the point where they don’t know where to start, and they need some serious help to at least get their house clean….besides I would never remember anyone from that show if I saw them on the street so who cares really?

Unfortunately, it’s real. I knew a woman whose house was overrun with animals and clutter and filth. It made the houses on the show look clean by comparison. The Health dept. finally took her away and condemned the house.
I think the people who go on the show think the embarrassment is worth it to have someone else come in and clean up. Wouldn’t be me, though!
