How Clean Is Your House?

[hawt13]

Ooh, I love this show too, even though the houses make me sick and I have an uncontrollable urge to clean my house when it's over.
Did you see last night's show? Aggie told her to pitch her fridge because the germ levels were so high the chemicals needed to treat it would be toxic. Dirty undies all over the place? Ugh, no wonder she hasn't seen any action in 4 years.

Oh, yes! The biofilm! And don't forget the science-film shots of candida infection!

The worst one, though, was the nutty-ass songwriter with the birds and the slug trails under the couch! That one put J off his food for a minute or two.

I don't get BBC America, but I do remember a few episodes back when it was on TLC. After seeing them, I felt so much better about my own personal clutter (it is just clutter after all, and not a bunch of science projects going on there).

I've started recording the episodes at 3, 3:30 and 7:30 on BBC America. These folks are PIGS. PIGS! OMG, it's not just messy, it's like they live in dumpsters.

At my house we called this lady "The Real Bridget Jones."

There was one gentleman who worked at a garbage dump, and his house reflected his work. He'd been through a divorce and that's when he started to let his house go. He was clearly depressed and probably needed some counseling to go along with the cleaning. They removed four skips of trash from his home.

I feel sorry for the children who have to live in this filth. It can't be healthy. After the cleaning, the kids are usually so good about keeping their rooms tidy. If you have a kid who won't clean his/her room, make them watch a few episodes of this show and that will get them motivated!

Oh yeah, seeing those children living in filth just breaks my heart. You know that Kim and Aggie just want to snatch them up and bring them up in a better environment.
Are these people nominated or do they volunteer to be on the show? Because I would die of shame-not that you would notice decomposing body in one of these homes.
And Aggie telling the woman last night that she would better off eating her dinner off of the TOILET SEAT than one of her plates!

I remember that guy. Wasn't he the one who also was in the local theater (or theatre, since he was English)? He started to cry when he was looking at his clean house, saying, "This is how it used to look!"

[hawt13]

That was Panto Bob and, yes, they removed over 4 tons of garbage from his home. Two weeks later and he was starting to clutter up all over again.

The one last week with the weird old guy whose toilet had a huge hair/pooball between the seat and the tank, plus encrusted poop everywhere? eeeeeewwwww! That's why we aren't watching during dinner anymore.

Her house was so horrifying! I loved when Aggie told her that she had aerosolized dust mite pu-oo (as she says poo). ACK! You couldn't even walk in it. I had to replay the before and after because you couldn't recognize the bathroom or kitchen. How did she have two greyhounds in that mess? I would also think that the best thing to do with these filthy houses isn't to clean the furniture and carpets but to take them out and burn them in a white hot fire. The funny thing is that the more I watch it the more obsessed that I get with cleaning things. I actually just ran the dishwasher with vinegar in it. Yeah, too much How Clean is Your House.
