Posted So We Think We Can Cook to Seattlest

Posted Hoarders Serves Up a Fresh, Messy Hell to Seattlest
The good people at A&E who already have us addicted to
Intervention and
Obsessed have recently debuted a new docu-series about a disruptive interpersonal disorder. This time it's
Hoarders, each episode offering "a fascinating look inside the lives of two different people whose inability to part with their belongings is so out of control that they are on the verge of a personal crisis." It's only been on for a couple weeks now, but we stumbled upon a repeat of the first episode the other night, and whaddya know, both subjects were Washington State residents: Linda from Everett and Steven from Olympia. Get ready to be proud.
