Extreme hoarders are back to bring their lives on track while struggling with their past trauma in Hoarders Season 15. The return of the series was announced last month on Reddit, and the fans have been enthusiastically waiting for it since then.
‘Hoarders’ has been running since August 2019, and all seasons aired on A&E, except the seventh that aired on Lifetime. The series had a tie with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after winning the Critics’ Choice Award as the best reality television series in 2011.
The series began by considering hoarding as the result of OCD. However, it came out as a separate disorder in 2013. Apart from that, the series shows that people might hoard due to depression, ADHD, and obsessive and compulsive behaviors.
On the one hand, a psychiatrist/psychologist treats the extreme hoarder. On the other hand, a team of specialized cleaners remove unwanted stuff and clean the house. Thus, the series focuses on bringing changes inside out.
Preview
Hoarders Season will focus on the personal and professional struggles related to the holders. For instance, a successful artist named Bob learns about the necessity of heart surgery and gets betrayed by his partner.
Thus, Bob is a compulsive hoarder who might have unnecessary things at his home in the name of overcoming the shortcomings in his life. Fortunately, he gets counseled by an organizational expert brought by the series.
Another participant, John, confesses he feels trapped due to the hoarded stuff at his home but cannot stop bringing new things. Moreover, he does dumpster diving and hunts for occasional yard sales, which add oil to the fire.
A practiced midwife and hoarder, Terri cannot live her personal life as she attends to calls around the clock. Her life seems perfect because she lives in a healthy community. However, the series uncovers her past trauma that made her a hoarder.
Bob faces a similar case and has his reason for hoarding. After getting cheated by his partner, he finds peace in extreme hoarding and filling his 7,000 sq. ft Victorian mansion with the hoarded stuff. However, the ‘Hoarders’ team documents his struggles and brings them before the world. Let us hope they help him overcome his trauma somehow.
On the other hand, Terri’s hoarded home comes in danger after getting set on fire. However, Code Enforcement stops it, which shows looking after the hoarded stuff is a different challenge. The upcoming series will show the damage her house has gone through.
What Viewers Think About Hoarders
Some viewers can relate to the series because they have hoarders in their lives. However, they think many people hoard things only because they are too lazy to remove unnecessary things from the house. They might also avoid doing so to save their energy.
For instance, some episodes from the previous seasons show how people have roaches, diabetic needles, and more all over the house, which is a sign of laziness, not hoarding. Moreover, the participants might not be able to explain why they live in such filth.
Some viewers think the psychiatrists/psychologists help the participants only to a certain extent because suddenly cleaning the house adds to the trauma of the participant, who might return to hoarding after some time. However, they like how genuinely the makers show the aftermath.
