  1. People knew too much sugar was bad for you from the very beginning.

  2. I pray that Susan’s legacy is that now people understand more about hoarding. And know that it’s not laziness, but a severe mental illness. I know that now, after meeting a Hungarian Jewish woman who turned out to be a hoarder. The way we found out was that she came to the theater where I worked and met her, and said she was robbed, that there’s nothing in her apartment and she’s cold and miserable and she tries to be outside all the time, going to libraries and theaters because they have central heating. I gave her my number and she never called… Then we saw an article about an unusually large hoard that was cleared by the city, it even had a snake shed in it (which no one is sure if the snake lived there and she’d or if she found the shed and brought it home to keep). In the article we saw her back and profile so we realized she was the hoarder in the article. Then it clicked: she kept telling us her mom was deported to Auschwitz. Many holocaust survivors hoard because once in their past, everything was taken from them, including their hair and the clothes that cover their intimate parts. If that happened to me, God forbid, I would never let anyone touch as much as a rock that I found and kept. 💔 She inherited hoarding from her mom and hers got worse because she didn’t know why she was doing it.

  3. “The bedroom is the room Graham dislikes the most” She says with a straight face… This os her husband.. this is where they’re being intimate with each other… and she’s making him sleep in “the little mermaid” sheets… even I feel emasculated..

  4. I wish I could personally thank Dr. Kiosses and the two ladies. This is the only hoarding show where I feel like the people got actual tools to do better and they’re being loved and listened to, not judged. ❤️ Thank you.

  5. Hoarding is a mental illness, but I don’t understand how he’s still marrying her knowing she hasn’t dealt with it.

  6. What I didn’t know until a few years ago, was that some holocaust survivors became hoarders. A dear woman I knew from work turned out to be one… she lived with her mom who survived Auschwitz. They took everything from them, not just family and friends, not just their homes, not just toys with their memories, but even their hair… I’d be hoarding after that too…

  7. “HOW CAN YOU HAVE 50 SINGLE SHOES?” Me in a low voice: because the thin stilettos break faster than others and you feel awkward to throw out the good shoe, while storing all the broken heeled ones in a separate box? 🤷‍♀️

  8. I feel so bad for them. Especially for Doreen.. imagine being old and alone, clinging to your things as memories and keeping your friend’s things because no one else will… I don’t know if I’d have the emotional strength to throw it all out either… I have a similar condition to a hoarder. I’m able to let go and throw stuff out, but I’m in too much pain to keep my house clean and tidy all the time and even when it is clean I think, maybe it’s not as clean as it should be and I’m ashamed of having people over even then… I hope I’ll be able to accept help.

  9. That’s really amazing of you, but not all hoarders allow for that. Many are so attached to their hoards that if you touch it they feel like you would feel if someone is looking through your underwear drawer. Except your underwear drawer is dirty AF and never been washed and you feel extremely embarrassed about that as well.

  10. Curtis expectations:”a good netsuki would buy you a small family car. Curtis reality: so, I got you 15€. 👏👏👏👏 Go ahead and buy that latté now.

  11. Kids are not stupid, mostly… 🤷‍♀️ I’ve caught my mom lying several times. Do as I say, not as I do.

  12. 100$ says he never actually met that “fiancé” of his and he’s afraid that she’ll leave him if she found out he was a pathetic hoarder. I have a few more guesses about that particular “couple”, but I’ll keep them to myself.

  13. Not gonna lie, this is how I see myself getting old: “Mrs. bling”. (I would never let Curtis touch my stuff!!). (And imagine Marianne telling me about MY style 🤣).

  14. that cleaning lady was so insensitive!! “So what if you lost your custom-designed boutique hotel? It happens, I own a business too, suck it up and move on…” Yeah, lady, your initial investment of 5 mops and a vacuum cleaner is totally the same as her investment of a venue, all the furniture and every bit of love, advertising and custom design she put into every single room in her hotel.. 🤬

  15. The dude plays the piano, the piano is un-tuned after decades of sitting there. He says it’s in terrible condition. NO IT’S NOT! TUNE IT! He didn’t even open the lid, if I remember correctly. Worst case scenario, if the wood isn’t rotten, which it doesn’t look, is having to replace some felt, some strings, maybe a hammer or two.. but to my ear it just sounds like it needed tuning.

  16. I want to be friends with Trish. She seems like such a cool human being. 😍 She loved her husband so much that she kept what he found diving and now she wants to spoil her grandson. What an amazing human being. ❤️

  17. When he says Tina is locked in a childlike phase.. I get it.. The best time of my life was early childhood and I surround myself with things that remind me of that time because it makes me remember a time when everyone was alive, was healthy and I had people who loved me unconditionally… I totally get why people live in their childhood…

  18. Take a second look, she’s not being honest, she’s being manipulative. Watch the entire series and you’ll find all the moments where she humiliated her clients every time they feel weak and makes herself appear invaluable at that moment. It’s classical narcissism.

  19. So sad… Then again, anyone who missed out on 2020 is lucky…

  20. I’m pretty sure she experienced hunger, or some food deprivation or controls at some point of her life.. Either the parents made her eat out of date food, or they locked the fridge…

  21. I thought so too, living in Israel, but then I went to Europe and it was like 25C in Poland, and I woke up in a puddle of my own sweat. Because they have much lower temperatures over there, they build their houses to retain heat and so 36C is like a sauna in these houses, whereas in Israel and Africa the walls are much thinner and if we get a little rain we cry about freezing to death. Lol

  22. Who else is here because you’re weak and you saw shoes in the thumbnail? 🥹

  23. Update: time to clean your room again.

  24. There’s a fascinating history behind milk bottles, I’m actually intrigued. ❤️ I don’t know if I’d want to live with them, but I’d love a pub or an ice cream shop with that collection on the walls.

  25. The worst thing about opening up to someone about a problem like hoarding, or in my case, not being able to clean up after myself due to chronic fatigue and pain, is that you can tell them not to judge you a thousand times, but then they leave and the first thing they say is: I can’t believe she lives like this, I would at least do X, but she didn’t…” I’ve heard people I know and am friends with say that about others, so I know it’s inescapable. And the shame of looking that person in the eye after is just too much, because I already judge myself harshly for being “dirty”, so much so, that one more person looking at me like that would be too much.

  26. Lisa: traveled the world and has an amazing collection of stuff Curtis: so 5£ for the lot?

  27. Jokes aside, you could have sold all the plates for 5£ each, if not 10£, if you sold them individually online.

  28. It’s severe emotional distress. It’s a huge mistake to bring in family members to “help” them clean up. They’re the biggest trigger for hoarders.

  29. If they brought in a better staff, like the competition (?) who has Dr. Stelios Kiosses and Zoe and I forgot the other woman’s name.. so sorry.. they’re clearly more patient, more experienced and much more compassionate. And Dr. Kiosses makes me feel that he actually managed to move the needle and the hoarders are equipped with the tools to help themselves. Whereas here, Curtis usually undersells their valuable stuff and it’s clear that he’s on a deadline to find something and sell it, so he takes things the hoarders don’t want to sell and gets very little money for it - but oh! We need it for the show…

  30. It’s a mystery how these kids pay for their food… who brings it to them…? 🤷‍♀️ It’s like magic… It can’t be the parents who order the takeaway and give them intermittent snacks.. or even.. pay for it all…

  31. Oh, I made a decision a few years ago to hide the blemishes on my bedroom wall with Disney Princess stickers.. because I such at painting and home improvement… Now every time I have a video call, I feel like they’re laughing at me 😂😖

  32. WHOA! I had no idea sugar has pain-killing properties. That explains a lot! Like why people with food-sensitivity would prefer sugary foods over healthy ones..

  33. Lisa’s kids are amazing!

  34. YES! and that cleaning lady was so insensitive to her!! “So what if you lost your custom-designed boutique hotel? It happens, I own a business too, suck it up and move on…” Yeah, lady, your initial investment of 5 mops and a vacuum cleaner is totally the same as her investment of a venue, all the furniture and every bit of love, advertising and custom design she put into every single room in her hotel.. 🤬

  35. Don’t overreact. It’s a collection of milk bottles. As a kid, I had a relative who had vast collections and I thought he was as cool as Santa.

  36. What got me to stop buying is seeing how bad the quality of clothing and shoes became over the past few decades, and then when they discriminated against me when they implemented the vaxx-pass in the stores. Since then - I haven’t entered a single store.

  37. They don’t see their homes as trash cans, they see their homes as museums. Just because someone is living in garbage doesn’t mean you need to acknowledge that or add to it.

  38.  @LoloO42  because we all wake up every day and wonder if the person we’re about to meet today is worthy of us not looking like we came out of the garbage. What a nasty thing to say!

  39. This show in particular makes me want to be friends with these people to come play with their toys and get in their closets. Mrs Bling is totally one of them. And I also LOVE instrument collector guy. 😍

  40. That’s not really what people mean when they say that. It’s their personal attachment. When interpreting someone’s intention, you have to take into account who the person is thinking about more. Is it disdain for the poor or love for their object?

  41. They probably grew up with her hoarding and couldn’t take it anymore.

  42. It’s possible the child services took one look at how they live and disqualified them.

  43. His daughter is so beautiful 😍

  44.  @jb6712  I, for one, needed the lol.

  45. I assume they’re ok with it, since they used his house as their personal dumping ground.

  46. You’re not too delicate, As someone who survived narcissistic abuse, she’s a classic abuser and she shouldn’t have a show…

  47. I want to agree, but I can’t bring myself to side with that crappy institution - the school.

  48. Exactly. And Gillian making her feel bad for it is all part of getting more views. This show is awful.

  49. “Jim and Kim Sim”

  50. Who knew a cup of tea looked exactly like a family sized plate of pasta with cheese and meatballs with cream… Mom:”he doesn’t eat more than anybody else” The plates:”Kill…. Me….”
