Who Wants Clean House??
Lazy Sunday afternoon here.....love 'em. I especially love when I have the opportunity to watch Style TV and the show "Clean House". Did you ever see this show?? It's mind blowing! People in the Los Angeles area can write in and request the show to come and help rid them of, as host Neicy Nash call it, their "foolishness". Today's lovely couple are married w/ 3 kids. All shows feature these big, otherwise beautiful houses, FULL to the BRIM w/ absolute JUNK!!! The people on today have young children- I personally would've called child services. It's not just clutter these people have- it's stuff from their childhoods. It's stuff from high-school. It's months worth of dishes and more. Today's episode also has stuff from the wife's boutique that never made it to the actual store. It's the loser husband's TOYS. Yeah, that's right, toys. He apparently has more toys than his 3 kids combined. His butt is glued to his Austin Powers egg chair 80% of the time playing video games. The leftover time is spent w/ him napping on a blanket in the backyard, or playing w/ his Robo-Raptor.. Anyway...the Clean House team swoops in and gets rid of the clutter by having a yard sale. All proceeds go towards getting the house cleaned up and then some. New furniture appears as well as cute accessories. Sometimes, even new paint!! It's always gorgeous and always a big surprise to the people that their house could look so nice cleaned up. DUH!! What did these lazy slobs expect?? "Gee honey, let's just throw stuff on the floor and let our children live in FILTH cause even if we cleaned up all of this nasty, disgusting mess- the house probably wouldn't look much different". The wife today even noted to the gang that she's not so sure if her house will appeal to her when it's finished cause she's "PICKY". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? So the family gets sent to a hotel while their house is transformed.(I noticed that the hubby played video games the whole time he was there!!) Oh- forgot to mention that the cast has to practically BEG everyone on the show to get rid of their junk. Today, during the yard sale, the wife's uncle came by. I don't know if she had this set up w/ him ahead of time. Next thing you know, the Uncle is STEALING two (UGLY) lamps that were from his childhood and the camera catches him running down the street w/ them! He is not happy and tells everyone that there is no way he was going to let someone buy these precious lamps. So they make him pay and he actually has the nerve to tell them that the price is too high and "they're not worth THAT much!"! It is pointed out to him that he just made such a fuss that they were so valuable so he agrees to pay. I'll tell ya- people are strange! It was a happy ending...the yard sale made money, the husband got a tongue lashing from Neicy, and the house was transformed into a thing of beauty. The funny phrase of the show that Neicy loves to belt out occasionally is "Who wants Cleeaaannn House?" How about "Who has a house should be condemned and knocked down w/ a wrecking ball"? Apparently, judging from this show's success, LOTS of people in Los Angeles do. Who knew?
