Hoarders all new tonight: Tra & Jill - Monday, February 1, 10/9C.
Episode Description: Tra is a 40 year-old firefighter living two separate lives. At his firehouse, he is expected to live in a clean and structured world. But in his home, he lives in chaos, surrounded wall-to-wall by hoarded possessions. Now, these two worlds have collided and fellow firefighters are worried that Tra's hoarding is affecting his performance on the job. His future with the Fire Department may be in jeopardy if he can't get things under control. Jill's 13-year-old son Tyler struggles with severe asthma on a daily basis--much of it triggered by a house filled with piles of dusty boxes and a basement that has black mold from a flood. Her 17-year-old son Spencer is fed-up with the condition of the house and resents his mother for her hoarding. Their family is at a crossroads--Jill must part with rooms full of keepsakes or risk losing her kids.
About the television show Hoarders: Each 60-minute episode of Hoarders is 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. Whether they're facing eviction, the loss of their children, jail time, or divorce, they are all desperately in need of help. In a fly-on-the-wall style, we'll capture the drama as experts work to put each on the road to recovery. But cleaning is just the first step, like taking drugs away from an addict. The healing won't be easy. For some, throwing away even the tiniest thing -- a sponge, a button, an empty box -- is so painful that they will not be able to allow the cleaning to be completed, no matter the consequences. For others, professional help and an organizer's guidance give them the strength to recover. At the end of each episode we'll find out who has been able to keep their hoarding behavior at bay and who, despite help, is still lost inside this painful disease.
