True, but it sucks 😞 I'm not sure I'll finish this episode especially knowing how it ended. The last several minutes of Dale's episode did get to me until I saw that he went back into the hoarded house because the other one had no utilities or heat 😞 Theblack screen said that he was using aftercare money for therapy and at least hasn't acquired new stuff, and is supposedly focusing on getting rid of stuff. I hope that's still the case. And now we're onto Linda's episode (I just play them one after another on the A&E app while I work, as disgusting white noise). Not gonna lie, I'm really over the "WORST HOUSE EVER OMG" editing that they're doing lately. EVERY hoard has been "the worst ever" for like 9 seasons now and if the onscreen graphics ask, "Can this house be saved????" I'm absolutely going to be like, "god no, just bulldoze it now and salt the earth, then sell the land to HUD so at least someone will benefit from it. Charge the hoarder with trespassing if they complain." (Yes, I know, I'm horrible. But between this show and dealing with hoarding family members--and my own worries about my own potential for hoarding--I'm just out of patience, you know?)

I started this episode on On Demand but omg. WHY was carol allowed back in the house if she’d walked out? Was her name on the house too? If so, whose dumb idea was that?? as soon as she started in on the “oh it’s all my fault, that’s what everyone will say, boo hoo hoo” to Dr Dave, I got so annoyed. She was CLEARLY manipulating everyone with that “it’s all my fault, I just don’t know what to do” nonsense and a so called shrink fell for it. I also think it was in pretty poor taste that the show described how Be killed herself (by not editing out that part of the talking heads portion) AND that the camera then cut to a step ladder in the basement (where Be was found). It just seemed very out of line and I thought the general rule of thumb for suicides was to not really bring up the method used in case it encourages people?? Or is that old fashioned?

Oh man, yeah, that was...A Lot. Yay that she realized that "investing" in stuff like Beanie Babies or Christmas ornaments is probably less practical than buying scratch-offs every week? Because at least with the scratchers, there is a minute chance you might win big. Oh boy 😮

Oh man I have gotten sucked into Hoarders again after my sister showed me the Sandra episode last night (Greensboro, NC; 2017). Jesus H Crackers. I have depression and anxiety, and I worry that I could very well wind up on Hoarders some day. But I get tired of Dr. Tonya et al being all "oh it's a mental illness, [the hoarder] needs to touch and feel every single thing as we carry it out" and then being annoyed/surprised when the hoarder wants to keep everything or gets cranky with the clean up process. I'm also tired of the "if So and So doesn't participate, I'll have to call Adult Protective Services" or whatever. Like, the time to call them was clearly long before the Hoarders TV crew showed up. Maybe stop giving the hoarder 5000000 chances to be a public health hazard??? Honestly, the best thing to do for all of these hoarders is to get them into some kind of a home-with-a-capital-H (pity that Reaganism killed all the psych institutions back in the '70s), raze the (ruined, biohazardous) buildings and salt the earth, and then build new, multi-family residential units for low-income families, homeless people, and other at-risk populations.

Found this show again while channel-surfing. I like how in tonight's episodes, the stories from 2003-2004 but in the reenactments, everyone's using current-model smartphones, laptops, etc.

I would watch a Bar Rescue/It's Always Sunny crossover so bad!

Route 160 really creeped me out. I hate those Purge-style masks.

Oh my gosh, I just stumbled across this show while channel-surfing and I can't turn it off now. It's the "Church and Skin Book" episode, where a couple moves into a house and both keep having visions about missing limbs, ghostly figures, etc. I may have found a new guilty pleasure.
