Intervention/Hoarders

The oldest sister was good looking.

Yeah, I thought she looked nice in her clamdiggers during the intervention.

I can't say someone is "good looking"?

Ugh is this the girl with the blonde streaks and constant stinkface?

No, the other one.  I didn't like that one.

I apologize, Buff.  I was feeling prudish.  It may have been the whiskey.

Good. Because blondie was a little bulldoggish.

This season of Intervention is shaping up quite nicely!

I guess they've been around since the fall, but yesterday I first spied a HOARDERS taxi:

I'd hate to see the Intervention cab.

Jackie, the rich weepy wino featured on last night's Intervention, was a bit of a bore. Same goes for Joel, her thieving/gambling nephew.

Is it just me or are well-to-do addicts naturally unsympathetic? It's hard for me to feel for an addict holed up in a beautiful house.

Hoarders was also no fun. Linda, the hoarder constantly berated by her foul-mouthed daughter, was a drag. And nerdy Todd reminded me of Quentin Tarantino if Quentin Tarantino had a penchant for making knives and his own beer.

A hoarder would stack those papers neatly. At least one who I knew did that.

[erika]

Did they even mention where Jackie's ex was in all this? I missed that part....

Jackie's ex was M.I.A. Obviously, he chose not to participate.

I think that may be because they seem to have nicer family around, too, so you see the addict's behavior as more hurtful or confounding.  On an Intervention from last year or two, there was a well-off, middle-aged alcoholic -- I think from Georgia -- and she had the sweetest aunt and a good family. Lot less sympathy there than for other people I've seen, like the girl who was an addict and had been sexually abused. Her parents knew about it but did not want to press charges or confront the person who did it and thought she should just get over it.
