Augustine - I find it bizarre that she has to be told all these years later that she ought to say "thank you." Considering all her children have done and continue to do for her. I readily admit that you'll never squeeze "I love you," out of some folks, but everyone has learned "thank you." Indeed, she has a son named Jason who I believe commented on the show board at our dear, departed TWOP.
Shannon - The mother with 4 kids who were taken by CPS. The son lived in a shed on the property for a time. When the show was through, the place still looked ramshackle. The catch-up episode highlighted for the first time that yes, children of hoarders who appear on the show will be bullied. I couldn't believe how many indoor animals the family has, present day. It must feel so crowded and loud. I know I don't have enough time and attention to dole out to a herd of animals. Let alone the cost to feed them.
Constance - vile. As I recall, she was given a whole new living space at the clean up's end, which makes me sick. In general. Add to that she's hoarded up her donated digs.
Kevin - You know, for all the talk of Adult Protective Services, you would think they'd haul him off. He believes he has no money and has to hole up in vans? All of your money is tied up in storage! You're not a revolutionary, you're delusional and disrespectful to those facing real poverty and homelessness. If he was evicted by marshal, he's practically a criminal. I don't think this man is entitled to assisted living. He needs in-patient psychiatric care until he faces reality. If he ever does.
Ruth - I don't remember her in the slightest, but I'm all for ending on a positive note.
