BG & Lee and Chris

Just a few observatons I have while I am watching it..

first of all, that 3 story Victorian home is beautiful! They should be ashamed of letting it go like that.
That couple is a train wreck. I am really curious if they stayed together. Naybe someone will find an update.
Am I the only one who was bothered by the fact that Dorothy was wearing shorts in that? I could picture her getting a cut and ending up with tetnus or worse and having her let fall off..

Chris...my heart broke for him but at the same time he made me love him to pieces. it is of course he has an illness..I'll armchair diagnose him as on the spectrun and also tourettes and others I am sure. You could see that he is obviously very smart and has a sweet disposition. When he was standing in the kitchen with Dr. Chabaud while he was showing her around she said something to the effect of "wouldn't you like to have people here?" Right away he responded with "I like having you here. This is nice" awwwwwe. Another moment was when he was in the kitchen with Corey after his sister said all those nasty, mean things to him that were very hurtful. When Corey tried to get him to slow down for a min and breathe, Chris said ,My sister is upset I have to finish this so she won't hurt"
Keep in mind I am paraphrasing but what he said, I thought was very telling about hi and his love for people, but was isolated from others. At the end he was so thankful to finally have a home. He tossed himself on his new bed like a child singing the "10 little monkeys" nursery rhyme.
It said he was taking advantage of aftercare funds and working with a therapist and an organizer. I hope he has done well.

There is a thread on here asking which hoarder you felt the most compassion for..many people mentioned the man with the rats. I am tossing my hat in the ring for Chris.

sorry for all the typos..new keyboard, and not having slept for 72 hours straight, my brain is about as mushy as the food in a hoarders non-working refridgerator..

6 out of 7 dwarfs aren't happy

I'd like to know what happened to BG & Lee. I couldn't find anything. It sickened me that the beautiful home had to be cluttered like that. They just paved the way for more hoarding and it's sad.

Blood is thicker than water and much tastier!

If you happen to run across an update, would you be so kind as to post it for me?
GracefromSoCal is really good at finding follow-up info.

I saw this episode again recently and forgot how much I disliked BG & Lee. I have a feeling they just wanted to be on the show to get some cleaning done. They never had any intention of actually clearing the hoard. I dare say those two deserved each other.

I did also really feel for Chris and I hope he's doing well now, and that he hasn't backslid into his old ways. I hope they have ongoing therapy or assistance for him as he seemed to need help with finances and things like that (cutting off electricity to save money and also trying out being homeless to save money).

I agree...that couple was awful, to eachother and everybody around them trying to help. I wonder if they actually divorced. Didn't they threaten eachother with that throughout their segments?

I had forgotten all about Chris shutting off utilites and living on the streets to save money. That was heartbreaking. Didn't he have several storage units too? He was concerned about money so that he could pay the storage fees. Am I remembering that correctly?

If anybody knows which season and episode that is, I would love to watch it again.

Absolutely.

I felt bad for Chris because he was genuinely ill. I hope he was able to continue his path to recovery.

BG and Lee? Ugh..... awful people. They were terrible to each other, terrible to the therapists, and just terrible to everyone. I would kill to live in a house like that and in that city. It was so infuriating to see them completely ruin that house.

Home ownership is a privilege and some people don't deserve it. It's one big to be sick, but it's another thing to be a total tool.
