'Hoarders' Crew Locked Out Of Couple's House
11 December 2012 3:10 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's difficult enough to deal with one hoarder, much less two. Bg and Lee were featured on the latest episode of "Hoarders," and their problem was threatening to destroy their marriage. They barely communicated unless it was to snap at one another. Lee was controlling, Bg was frustrated, and while both were hoarders, they couldn't agree on what was valuable and what was worth getting rid of.
One thing they did agree on was that they didn't want the clean-up crew in their house. So about fifteen minutes into the clean-up effort, they locked the front door of their house. They did more to hinder the process for the entire time the team was there to help, leading to frustration for both the therapist, Dr. Robin Zasio, and the professional organizer, Dorothy Breninger.
While they were ultimately able to get one room cleared out, along with the hallway and stairs, »

TV on Tap: Matthew Perry Returns to "The Good Wife," Kristen Bell Will Finally Appear on "Gossip Girl" and "Americas Best Dance Crew" Has Its Last Dance

You've been saying you meant to watch the documentary for a while, now Catfish is also a TV show.

TV Guide notes that as soon as the audience had a say, they moved to eliminate gay competitors on both The X-Factor and The Voice. I have to admit, I'm not surprised. While I think U.S. viewers will accept an out singer, an out singer will probably get fewer chances to survive in the middle of the pack.
Emily Owens, M.D. is getting hotter with D.B. Woodside signing up for a multi-episode arc.
Comedy Central will continue to hurt comedy with a second season of Brickleberry.
Pretty Little Liars' Janel Parrish is headed to Hawaii Five-0. I hope the costume deparment has a second pair of crazypants ready because any Pll viewer will tell you that Parrish wears crazypants as well as Alex O'Loughlin does.

'Hoarders': Suicide Attempt During Filming
23 October 2012 12:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Things took a very dangerous turn on the latest episode of "Hoarders." Dr. Robin Zasio, one of the show's psychologists, and a clean-up crew were on-hand to help Manuel with the horrific hoard that had already cost him and his wife their grandchildren. The home was filled with fecal matter and roaches amidst the general filth.
The problem was that Manuel and his wife Liz were the regular babysitters for their grandchildren. So when Cps (Child Protective Services) saw the state of the home, they took the children away from both their grandparents and their parents. They had child endangerment charges pending against all of them still by the end of the show.
But it was during the clean-up that Dr. Zasio discovered that it had all gotten to be too much for Liz. "I’ve been wanting to die for years because of all this. I’m tired of it, »

'Hoarders': Team Pulls Out, Leaving Clean-Up Unfinished
16 October 2012 2:37 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In all the years that the "Hoarders" team has been going into people's houses and helping them clean up and get the psychological tools they need to improve their living situation, no obstacle has been so volatile that they quit in the middle of a job. At least, not until this week's installment.
They were there to help compulsive hoarder Joni, But it was her son Joey who proved to be the bigger obstacle. Not because he was a hoarder, but because of his anger and violent tendencies. He was belligerent and yelling at his mother, breaking her things right in front of her.
But it was when he started throwing things toward the producers and behind-the-scenes personnel filming the show that Matt Paxton had to make a call. Joey's only explanation as to why he threw something "almost at the producers" was to say, "Because I'm pissed."
So Matt pulled the entire team, »

What Does One Expert Declare 'The Grossest Thing Ever' On 'Hoarders'?
9 October 2012 5:47 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The mess that cleaning expert Matt Paxton helped tackle on this week's "Hoarders" was so severe that he tweeted, "had to take a mental break after this one. I took 2 weeks off. and couldn't see my family right away. had to ease back in." So what could be so bad?
Shanna had been collecting her own waste for years. Her house was filled with containers and bottles filled with it. The house, her brother described as smelling worse than a corpse. On the scene, Paxton declared it "the grossest thing ever."
Even more disturbing, Shanna said that she got a rush from eating food with fecal matter on it, and was addicted to it. "I’m going to go ahead and eat some of the contaminated food and then the party’s over,” she said at one point, "To get high one last time."
The clean-ups continue on "Hoarders," Mondays at 9 p. »

Anna Nearly Punches Her Sister On 'Hoarders'
6 March 2012 12:37 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
People who don't suffer from the mental conditions that lead to hoarding often struggle to be sympathetic to their hoarder loved one. People who are hoarders are never more on the emotional edge than when facing a clean-up. On "Hoarders" (Mon., 9 p.m. Est on A&E), it was a little of both that led to a huge blow-out between Anna, her sisters and her daughter.
Anna's house was such a mess that she's been shutting the door on her family for years, even when her daughter Natasha was in need of a place to stay with her children. Things got worse when her sister Barbara and Natasha decided to break into the house to see what Anna was hiding. They discovered the hoard, but also got caught by the police. In her anger, Anna denied knowing them, leading to their arrest.
But it was another sister, Bernadette, who took »

'Hoarders': Joanne's Love For Her Grandson Inspires Amazing Transformation
28 February 2012 6:30 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
On "Hoarders" (Mon., 9 p.m. Est on A&E) viewers were introduced to Joanne and her young grandson Cayden.
Compulsive hoarder Joanne was Cayden's daytime caregiver, but her home had become so squalid and cramped that it was close to being too dangerous for him to visit any more.
Plus, Joanne's hoarding had also brought her relationship with her son and daughter-in-law to breaking point.
Faced with the threat of not being able to see her grandson any more, Joanne sought help and took steps toward dealing with her issues.
With the help of Dr. Robin Zasio she cleaned up her house. And how! As a delighted Cayden explored the newly immaculate home, Dr. Zasio paid tribute to his grandmother.
"I can't be more pleased with Joanne and how she worked this process," she said. "She was open, she was ready, I think she's going to work to restore her relationship with her son. »

An Emmy-nominated Intervention camera operator for A&E's is answering questions on Reddit, offering insight into filming a show about addicts who are often using on camera.

Barbara's Maggot-Infested Fridge On 'Hoarders'
7 February 2012 3:10 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
For at least one half of this week's episode, the show title could have been changed to "Horrors." Fred and Mary easily had the worst dust and cobweb situation seen in the history of "Hoarders" (Mon., 9 p.m. Est on A&E). Both Dr. Chibaud and Matt Paxton came to the same conclusion upon seeing the interior of the house. It looked like something out of a haunted house.
The cobwebs were so thick and coated with dust that it was hard to imagine anyone lived there, and yet until the county effectively removed the family from the home, Frank and Mary were living there with their 14-year old son. He was sleeping on a mattress thrown on top of a pile of junk in the living room. And yet even when asked directly about this, Frank indicated he seemed happy to be there.
As it turned out, the kid »

Joanne Thinking Of Suicide On 'Hoarders'
31 January 2012 3:44 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Dr. Robin Zasio has dealt with a lot of different people struggling with various mental illnesses during her time on "Hoarders" (Mon., 9 p.m. Est on A&E). But there was something very haunted in Joanne's eyes that gave Dr. Zasio pause in this week's installment. Many hoarders talk extreme measures when faced with the possibility of losing their belongings, but with Joanne it was her calmness that was perhaps the most disconcerting.
Dr. Zasio asked her, "If somebody came in and got rid of all of your stuff today, what would happen to you?"
Joanne's response, given with uncomfortable laughter, was, "I'd end up probably with a nice rope down in the basement." Someone had already killed themselves in that basement, and Joanne had mentioned considering it.
These feelings stemmed largely from an abusive relationship with her husband, who's since passed on. He would bring his mistresses home and »
