I so agree. I used to watch Extreme Home Makeover. I no longer do. I feel like it is such a money racket. There are people out here, that need help, but it seems you have to be a saint or disabled to get any help. I don't think that is right. Plus, I think they build houses that are too big. The taxes on that place, how are they going to pay it, if they needed help in the first place? It doesn't make sense. Its All Too Much!!!

I would be very interested to know which human fraility is worthy of help. If the hoarders had blown all their money and gotten their lives in disarray over some other problem....would they then have been worthy of being "rewarded" with help? Or are no mental health issues worthy of assistance/"reward". Maybe only physical maladies should be worthy of compassion and assistance? (But not extreme obesity, of course.) Anorexia, maybe? The point is that we were all entertained for a couple of days (yes, entertained. It was like watching a car wreck!) and the networks sold tons of advertising time while Marvin and Sharyn left themselves open to public derision and abuse for our education and amusement. And we begrudge them the help and especially the appliances and furniture. It seems that the fact that they received new "things" really annoyed people. I don't understand. Was anyone in America more shocked, horrified and sickened by the accumulation of stuff in the warehouse than Sharyn? I really don't think so.
