I think head shaving hardly compares to eating rubber tires or rolls of toilet paper.  8)

On one episode a girl was eating chalk and it made me want to try it. The "snap" as she took a fresh white piece out of the packet and broke it in two was nice. I told my sister (who is a doctor) about it and she said that addiction is quite common...

That is one odd but interesting bit of television.

I've seen episodes where they're addicted to eating nail polish and couch stuffing.  My dog could really sympathize.
 
It's the kind of show I watch to feel normal about my own foibles.

Nothing like a case of pika.  (Eat things that are not food.)  It's when they eat things that are hazardous like gasoline, paint thinner, asbestos, rock chips, metal shavings, etc. that it gets dicey. Chalk is basically the same thing that is in Tums antacid so chew away!

I honestly thought this was as grim as reality television gets..and then came "Cheapskate". Sharing dental floss and recycling toilet water-not from the tank-is beyond repulsive. I don't want to know these people and, should I find one of them is a neighbor, I will offer to purchase their home and relocate them far, far away. And what role models for children! Somewhere a Child Protective Service person is waiting to swoop down and remove the little ones before they believe that eating the can as well as what was in it is the right way to live. All of this comes under the general title of "abberant pyschology", a term which nicely fits. Until these came along-and, honestly, when I saw the promos I thought it was a joke-the worst involved hoarders who kept hundreds of animals, both living and deceased.....

I used to like to watch "Hording, Buried Alive"... but my wife hates it...   These kinds of shows are too gross for her.

I watch my share of bad TV.  But the hoarding show I found hard to watch.  After I got past the shock value, I felt sad for those people... but those Housewives of New Jersey ... that's another story  ;)

I used to watch Hoarders but I got bored with it. Same thing every week.

For some reason, I have a hard time watching any of those housewives of "where ever" shows...lol.     I can't even get myself to keep it on the channel long enough to watch any of it.

The reason no one likes "Housewives" is that they aren't really housewives. They're cast as carefully as an episode as any sitcom save that these programs aren't even amusing. They consist of vain, venal, stupid, garish women who are enamored of being on television. There is nothing "warm" or welcoming about any of them, walking in to one of their homes all one would wish to do is leave, quickly. And it doesn't matter where in the country they are, they're all the same with different homes. Any man dumb enough to marry one of these Harpies gets what he never thought he deserved. Perhaps the husbands should form a class action group in retaining divorce attorneys. These programmes are aimed at dumb, stupid women whose own lives are so grim that all this seems great, lovely, classy. What they don't realize is that they may actually have a better life in that they have a husband who loves them and does his level best to get for them all he can. As to he "Housewives", they make a great case for euthanasia.

My father dealt with a tenant who was an animal hoarder. Although I was too young to remember her, I had the chance to see the effects when her son (who was an object hoarder himself) moved out. Suffice to say it was disgusting on just about every level.

When we were doing "Christmas in April" one year (a project which repairs homes of the needy), we wound up at the home of a hoarder.  She would let us throw away very little - and it was almost impossible to do repairs and painting.  Very dad.  We could have really fixed up her place, but could do little due to the amount of magezines and papers piled in the house.

Wpruitt, in the case of the tenant, he was hospitalized, and his sister helped with the first cleaning. Otherwise, he would have died under that filth. When he moved out, he must have seen the difference, and only took select belongings.

My wife and I just finished the last episode of American horror story, it was awesome, season 4 doesn't come out until October, The new walking dead comes out I believe Feb 9th! Definately looking forward to that!

I love both Walking Dead and American Horror Story. This season was not as good as the past two. While it had its great moments with a great cast and great dialogue, I thought the story was kind of uneven, like the writers were just winging the plot. It was still good enough to keep watching. Haunted houses, insane asylums, witches- what will next season be about?
