totally random post about Style network's "clean house"

I'm a style network junkie, and specifically "clean house" is my favorite show. 

Tomorrow's is the big event "the messiest home in the county 3".  They've been leading up to it by finding 7 messy homes in 7 states.  Normally, a full season consists of cleaning out and making over homes in the greater L.A. area.  This show has been on since 2003.  I'm just astounded that there are that many pack-rats in L.A. alone.  I mean, I know it's a big huge city and all, but I just never would have thought that there were that many people that lived like that.

I've watched it for years and quite truthfully and just recently I started thinking that some of it is "made up".  I mean...they don't show all the rooms...just the 2-3 that they re-do.  It just seems too weird because of some of things IN the rooms.  I'm a pack rat so I can relate...but you aren't stepping on stuff to get through my home (my oldest DS's bedroom yes...but not the rest of the house).  lol

maybe, IDK.  but, one episode I recently saw had the homeowners interviewing in a room that wasn't re-done and it was still pretty clutter-filled.

I LOVE that show.  I find the people on it so disgusting but its like watching a train wreck and when its on, I'm so horrified that I can't turn the channel.  ;-) 

Did you see the messiest house from last year?  The lady where they filled a huge warehouse with her junk?  I totally believe that there are a lot of people like that out there.  Hoarding is pretty common.  My aunt is supposedly a hoarder.  I haven't seen her apartment in years, but I hear its scary.  My grandmother was also a crazy cat lady.  Its more common than you might think.
