  Niecy, I think you guys did such an amazing job last night. I truly can’t believe you didn’t walk out, though. It was horrendous the way they treated you and y’all are saints for doing all that you did for them.

• Anna Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 6:18 pm

  YES I FELT YOUR PAIN. I was really stressed out watching that. Halfway through I jumped up and took all my dishes out of my cupboards and vowed to give them all to charity.

• Tony Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 6:20 pm

  I was appalled at how ungrateful and rude the mother and daughter in the Messiest House 3 were. On most of the shows, the homeowners really benefit from your heart-to-heart talks. I wonder, do you have any therapists to consult with, or are those talks really just from the heart?

• Bobby Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 7:38 pm

  You are a very pretty lady, with an equally attractive personality and voice. Keep doing what you are doing.
  P.S. I think my wife knows the real reason I like watching your shows, lol.

• Annette Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 10:28 pm

  I think you must be a great actress! I think that Brigette disrespected you and that you showed who was the better woman by not dwelling on it. Plus you probably wanted out of there ASAP. LOL I would have! I have never seen so much stuff. They didn’t really seem to be embarrassed. Ya’ll are a great team. I love watching and you all have great taste.

• Yani Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 10:56 pm

  mis niecy mis niecy miss niecy first gotta say luv you but yes i watched and it was amazing how they came off. i mean if you didnt wanna own up to whats going on in your life why call the show (they wanted a free home makeover) but i must say you are so much better than me b/c i would have gathered my crew and been up and out it was no helping them. i wouldnt be surprised if you went back and things were back to how they used to be. sad shame

• Annie Rodgers Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 11:06 pm

  Dear Ms Niecy, and Clean House Crew,
  I live in Ohio, and the family from season 3 were such ungrateful jerks. You and your crew try so hard and for the last three years you have meet some really crappy people. I want to THANK YOU ALL for the wonderfully job that you do for all the families through out the year.

• Susan Norman Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 11:25 pm

  Dear Niecy, I just finished watching you totally overhaul the lives of Sharon and her daughter Bridget. Clearly this was an illness with them, especially the mother. I was wondering though when you were with them if they might need psychiatric care after your visit. They might be in serious grief after being separated from their junk. Both mother and daughter exhibited signs of “melt-down” during the show and their behavior did become childish and disrespectful BUT they were childlike and immature to begin with. I think that hoarding and shoppaholic behavior are indications of deeper problems such as not feeling love as a child and so having to attach themselves to things in order to have their needs met. I think too that the mother may have been emotionally abandoned as a child and then her daughter is simply mimicing her history. I don’t know but I do wonder. I liked how you drew the mother back to the gift to the charity over and over; she will need to have something to replace her grief over her stuff that is gone now. Strange things happen to people who lose their “stuff”; in some cases they lose their moorings and anchors in their lives and may take a long time to heal. In my community we had a flood this past year that wiped out more than 400 homes and as a Realtor I have seen what happens to people when they lose everything they ever owned. They go into a kind of a grief ridden fog and it takes a good long while to heal. This woman and her daughter really needed your “tough love” to break out of their rut but time will tell how they pick themselves up and move on. God Bless YOu and your crew!!!

• Tamara Said on July 2nd, 2009 at 11:55 pm

  You did what you could do with those people. Is there some type of screening done when you pick these folks? When the crew went to the basement I lost it. This show was painful to watch. I just wanted to slap some sense into the heads of these two adults.

• Christina Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 12:56 am

  I have never seen someone with so much Patience you handle everything so beautifully. Sharon and her daughter were so nasty and rude but you held your composure and I admire you for that and always will

• C Traettino Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 2:01 am

  Niecy, you are fabulous! You give so much of your energy, fun comedic relief, and hilarious wit and I thank you! Thanks to your crew as well for all the back breaking hard work they do, too. Best regards from Honolulu, Christine p.s. I thoroughly enjoyed the Messiest House 3 for your candor and efforts. Also, it was fun TV to watch. Not an overly produced, scripted show.

• Mike Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 11:05 am

  They did not deserve this makeover and I wish kinder, more worthy people had been chosen.

• Lisa H. Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 11:44 am

  OMG! I couldn’t believe the mom and daughter’s behavior during this show. I commend you and your team and crew for not walking away and leaving them to rot in their basement. I could tell you were upset but you held it together so well… Some folks obviously need more help (and therapy in order to see themselves) than you could
  provide. God bless.

• Katie Morrill Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 12:45 pm

  Hey Niecy,
  I would have walked away from those two witches and never looked back if I were you and the crew! The daughter was a brat and her mom was even worse. God Bless You for having the patience to stick it out! I love you on Clean House!

• Nancy Martineau & Barry Bauman Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 12:48 pm

  Niecy:
  We could not believe how they disrespected you, and did not appreciated what you did for them. We would love your wonderful crew to do a make over on our home but we are not a discusting messy family. We do have clutter, but nothing like what is displayed on your shows. I only hope that those two come to their senses and formally thank you some how for all you did for them. You, and your crew are absolutly wonderful.

• Beth Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 1:51 pm

  Dear Miss Niecy, first of all I want to say that I love your show and that you all do such good work. Please don’t think all people from Ohio are like that. If that were my daughter I would have made her apologize. But the mother was even worse so I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I think the house was gorgeous when it was done. I would love to have it in my own home. You proved that you are not only beautiful on the outside, but a truly beautiful person through and through. Keep up the good work!

• Angel Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 3:21 pm

  Ms Niecy and Clean House Team,
  I did watch Messiest House #3. In fact, my family and I have been watching Clean House every day on Style tv. But this episode took-the-cake, as they say. My family and I couldn’t believe the behavior of this mother and daughter duo of disrespect. There was no sympathy felt for these people. All our sympathy went out to you, Ms Niecy, and the crew. I’d like to thank you for what you did for that family even though they didn’t deserve it or appreciate it. So many deserving people out there and Sharon and Bridgett were the ones to win. Such a shame.

• Miqque Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm

  I wanted to offer your poor crew free therapy after dealing with that pair of denial demons. Have serious doubts about the safety of licensing mom to carry a gun. There is deep abuse and pain in that home. Yet you all pulled together andgave them a chance to change, I so hope and pray they take it. Yet, the runner-up family in Vegas was so sweet, so grateful and so thouroughly deserving I almost wish they had a bigger mess so they could be the ‘winners’. Keep your head high and your spirit right; and I look forward to when someone is just abusive enough you do take the crew and walk out. The Dragon Judge and this pitiful pair deserve to be left in their squalor, yet you show us, week after week, to take the high ground and give. God bless.

• Judy Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 6:45 pm

  Niecy, that home was sickening! I am surprised how you all transformed it. I have a suggestion….maybe you should do some shows on “followup” to these cleaned up homes. What do you think?

• Scotty & Aleata Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 11:10 pm

  We also agree about the overwhelming level of stress we felt just from trying to watch one of our favorite shows on cable. It was disturbing on so many levels, and it provoked more discussions between us than any other episode in the past. A few of the thoughts we keep having is who was the person that would actually give the mother a license to carry a concealed weapon? We are also very concerned for the daughter’s safety after her mother saw the episode and heard first hand about how her daughter really felt about her, and having to tolerate all the rage and verbal threats. Having a person like her on our streets as a police person would not leave us with a feeling of being safe and secure! Good Luck!

• Missy Said on July 3rd, 2009 at 11:25 pm

  I want to say on behalf of Cincinnati, Ohio I am sooooo sorry for the rude treatment you received. As so many before have said it was ridiculous. I love Clean House and watch every episode. I was at the yard sale that day but was unable to get it due to the high volume of people that showed up. I am surprised that you did not walk out but I also understand your commitment to those you try to help. It upsets me that those who ask for help can be so ungrateful when they receive it. Well on a positive note THANK YOU to your entire gang for such a great show and for doing your best to represent Cincinnati on your show. WE LOVE YOU ALL

• Cindy Said on July 4th, 2009 at 12:49 am

  Niecy, I completely understand how you lost it emotionally in that house. Sharon and Bridgette need counseling, not only for their hoarding behavior but for their attitude of entitlement. It was as if they thought they were better than the other families on the show. You are such the lady and the bigger person. Your kind heart showed through with these women. Unfortunately they can’t see what the rest of us see and that is that they need deep therapy, both of them. Keep up the great job and don’t let people like this get you down, but I do fear that if you were to surprise visit them, the house would be back in the same shape it was before you cleaned it.

• elizabeth Zanzola Said on July 4th, 2009 at 1:07 am

  i could not believe at how rude and ignorant messiest house 3 were, the daughter was totally ignorant not to have said she was sorry, the mother seems to have some emotional and mental problems, seems to be a control freak which is why she is a detective maybe. personally i would have walked out, the house did look nice when finished, i would like to see it in a year from now though.

• Lesely Crawford Said on July 4th, 2009 at 10:09 am

  Neisy: I have never replied to any blog nor have I ever desired too. I watched that show and was so enraged by the level of disrespect you and your staff received from this filthy, nasty family. I understand that you guys were obligated to fulfiill your commitments but I don’t know if I could have shown as much restraint; but babe, you held your own and handled it like a real DIVA. I am truly a fan. You came to clean and that is what you guys did. You can rest assured that in a few months that house will look exactly the same and the mother and daughter will packing all that stuff in there again. You guys just gave them room to start over. Take Care girl.

• Dwayna Said on July 4th, 2009 at 12:09 pm

  Niecy you did so well handling the foolishness that was thrown at you while trying to clean up 30 years of their mess! You and your crew certainly deserved more than just an appology from both Bridgett and her mother! I would have been so embarrassed to treat all of you like that! I love your show and only wish my house was full of clutter & foolishness just so I could meet all of you! Until then, keep on keeping on cleaning & orgainizing America!!!

• Sarah Said on July 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pm

  I understand that reality TV “needs” this type of drama to keep us watching – HOWEVER – what makes this show so fun to watch is the JOY and PEACE the receiver feels. From the beginning it seemed that the crew knew this was not going to be a family that would truely accept what you were giving – the show would have been better had you packed up and left them with their mess and picked another family. I usually feel blessed by the show – this episode made me feel sad and in some ways even angry.

• Kari Said on July 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pm

  Niecy, I adore Clean House. It is one of my favorite shows. Not only do you learn great style and organizing tips, but it makes you re-examine the foolishness in your home. I read the postings and agree with everyone. I find it frustrating that this family did not appreciate nor recognize you and your crew’s tremendous assistance to better the quality of their lives. But, as you noted in the show, they were shopaholics and could not admit to the hoarding. The family from Las Vegas was so grateful and recognized their mayhem…I guess they could get over being “overwhelmed.” The show, yourself, Matt, Trish and Mark are wonderful! If you ever want some “guest” yard sale divas, let me know!

• Ginger Said on July 4th, 2009 at 7:48 pm

  Miss Niecy you must of haved the spirit of God working through you during the filming of the Messiest Home in America. It appeared to me that Sharon had used disassociated with finding out why the clutter happened in the first place. I am sure that it is necessary in doing though as a cop. Still I too was grieved in the spirit at both women’s behavior. I hope that you do not stop trying to help others out because of this experience. I know that you try real hard to get the guests on the show see how this all got started. All I can say is do not give up sometimes I feel that God uses us to cast the light on the dark shadows and be the impetis of the truth coming to the surface.
  I would love to have you come to my house in Reno, NV to throw you and your crew a dinner thanking you for all that you do.

• Devin Said on July 5th, 2009 at 12:49 am

  hey it’s Devin tyt was so disrespectful how they treated u and how they talk to u really r a food person b/c I would have packed up all my crow and left the family just how it was so u really a good person.

  From u boy Devin lumv y’all very mucher LOL ok bye

• Devin Said on July 5th, 2009 at 12:52 am

  Sorry have some typing mistakes

• Jessica Said on July 5th, 2009 at 1:49 am

  YOU ARE BRAVE GIRL!!!!
  Ur Crew n all the people helping this family. I couldn’t lift my jaw. It was TOO MUCH, my mom keeps saying “how could those people live with rats and like that?” and i wonder the same thing, they need counseling… THEY WERE AS WORSE AS KINDER-GARDEN Children…
  Clean House is really helpful to families and people inn general, so the best wishes for you all…
  AND HOPE YOU GET OVER THIS!!
  XOXO

• Brenda Said on July 5th, 2009 at 1:33 pm

  I have to tell you that watching your shows made a difference in my life. I was close to loosing my apartment due to clutter. Knowing that there were famlies who were bigger messes than me and seeing them clean up their acts, help me see it could be done. I am on the road to being clutter free. Don’t let those ingrates stop you from showing our dirty secrets! When people know they are not alone in a situation, that others have worked thru a problem-it makes it easier to face yourself.

• Sarah Said on July 5th, 2009 at 4:40 pm

  We watched the show and came to the conclusion the family went way beyond “clutter” and into a severe mental health issue. Wow. I know it was frustrating beyond belief when they were so ungrateful for all you did for them. I mean, if they had kept going, the ceiling could have literally caved in on them and killed them! God bless you and the Clean House crew; you genuinely care about the people you help and that is why I love watching so much.

• Chelly chel Said on July 5th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

  Ms. Nicey
  I am overwhelmed with Sharon & her Daughter . I was embarrassed for Sharron I actually know her and I never knew she live in a pig pen. You handled them so professionally and it makes me wonder how can she close a case if she cant even clean her house. I wonder has she ever had the nerve to go into someones house and tell them their house was nasty ? If her daughter was younger I would have called 241-kids on her. Her house was a death trap , fire hazard and she has the NERVE to be the law and talk to people like she is crazy . Ms. Niecy you and your crew did a marvelous job . I just wonder how long is it going to take her to junk up Marks master piece ?

• Dianne Said on July 5th, 2009 at 8:35 pm

  Ms. Niecy, my husband and I greatly admire you and your crews efforts to help folks overcome their clutter. We would encourage you to involve short and long-term counseling for the folks you select for THE MESSIEST HOME each year. This is a mental illness that even your down-home advice won’t touch. Bless you for trying.

• Chuck Said on July 5th, 2009 at 10:17 pm

  Oh Ms. Niecy you and your crew are good people for not running out on this family and going with another one. I’m sure there’s tons more footage but what we all could gather here, those two need a big helping of humilty and pills. Girl, the good Lord gave you strength not to take your heels and throw it at “Ms. Thang’s” as she was being driven away. She’s the one that called to begin with!!! I’ve watched that episode two times and twice I end up with a big headache trying to figure them out. Me thinks Mama Viking needs some Jesus. But that’s just my opinion.

  I love what you and your crew do. Keep up the great work. Say hi to the crew for me.

  Smooches!

• HK Said on July 5th, 2009 at 10:39 pm

  Was anyone concerned about the fact that this woman has a mental disorder- the hoarding, the persecution/ paranoia complex,(thinking the crew was stealing her junk) and is an armed officer of the law? She needs help, she needs support now that she dosn’t have her “stuff” and she needs meds. If she were to go into another citizens home and find them living in that filth with no working kitchen or bathroom, she would be duty bound to contact social serivces- but she and her daughter have been living like that for years- frightening.

• JoAnn Roman Said on July 6th, 2009 at 9:18 am

  Dear Niecy;
  We watch your show everyday you guys are great. We love all of you. Great job ty for making me laugh everyday and niecy you are a very sexy diva. You go gurl! Woosa!

• monique Said on July 6th, 2009 at 2:25 pm

  Everyone did a great job for this ungrateful family. Niecy, I felt that you handled the situation very well. I love Clean House and I am a huge fan. I look forward to seeing more great episodes with “mayhem and foolishness”. I think you are hilarious. Keep up the great work!

• Kati Said on July 6th, 2009 at 3:17 pm

  Did Sharon ever come back to apologize for her false accusations?

• Debbie Said on July 6th, 2009 at 7:43 pm

  Miss Niecy my friend and I sat here and watched this house and were just amazed. You and your staff were so wonderful to that family and they were so ungrateful. My friend kept saying ” They should just rip it all out and leave”. You were so much more patient than I would have been able to be. Keep doing an awesome job.

• Darlene Riling Said on July 6th, 2009 at 8:10 pm

  Niecy, I was so upset after watching the episode that i couldn’t sleep. I felt so bad for you and the rest of the Clean House Crew. I would like to know if the family ever apologized to you after they saw the show. Have you heard from them at all?

• Christy Said on July 7th, 2009 at 12:18 am

  Niecy,
  On behalf of Cincinnati I would personally like to apologize for that family! We appreciate the love you showed us Cincinnatian’s while your crew was here. We are a proud city and saddened by the disrespect you were shown. Maybe one day you can come back and help a more deserving family.

• Jessica Said on July 7th, 2009 at 10:22 am

  Miss Niecy & Crew:

  Good Lord, what a disaster (physically, mentally, etc). I think Mark, et al did an amazing job and I felt terrible for the way everyone on set was treated.

  I’m a big “Clean House” fan and look forward to more wonderful makeovers.

• Liz Said on July 7th, 2009 at 11:26 am

  Niecy
  I could not believe how Sharon and her daughter acted. I was upset cause do you
  know many people would have loved to have
  had their homes redone like that. They were
  rude and ungrateful. I hope they read some
  of these comments and send a letter of apology to you and your crew.
  I love watching your show. Keep up the good work.

• Manda Said on July 7th, 2009 at 7:04 pm

  I could NOT believe how ungrateful those two women were. But I LOVED how you kept it together and look forward to your shows. You are so talented! And like some of the others – I jumped up and started cleaning house after this episode! Thanks for sticking with Sharon and her daughter and kudos to your crew for being the better people in the situation. I would not have been able to keep it together the way the crew did.

• Mark Said on July 8th, 2009 at 2:33 pm

  My wife and I enjoy watching your show, except this one. This one was painfull to watch.

  I believe the real value of your show is to the people, like me, who watch it. We have begun uncluttering our house and lives, motivated by watching the transformations your crew have made. I don’t have 400 jackets, but I do have two cameras and did not buy the 60% off one I found last week. Someone else might have a use for it. I don’t.

  Thanks

• Patrice Said on July 8th, 2009 at 4:33 pm

  Miss Niecy oh Miss Niecy, my mom and I finally caught this episode and we could believe our eyes and like you all how many times Miss Sharon said “overwhelmed”! I think after seeing that basement of hers and the warehouse with all of her things in it that should have opened her eyes so wide that her eye balls popped out of their sockets but some people are stuck in the denial stacge and can’t get out. You made a statement that for the 1st time in Clean House history you think you’ve found a family that can’t be helpped, I agreed especially when Miss Sharon drove off from the show (spoiled and deeply ungrateful). You are a very strong lady to even have put up with that family!!!
  Love ya and btw your show will always be watched by my family, my four year old daughter even loves you!!!

• barb Said on July 8th, 2009 at 6:15 pm

  I love the show and enjoy getting ideas from your designs.

• melissa Said on July 9th, 2009 at 10:28 am

  God bless you. Those GIRLS were some of the Rudest people I have ever seen. Even my husband tuned in to see the outcome.(I believe it was the first time he ever watched the show) . Well dont let a couple BAD APPLES get you down. Love You and your show….Keep up the good work…..Best wishes

• melissa Said on July 9th, 2009 at 10:29 am

  God bless you. Those GIRLS were some of the Rudest people I have ever seen. Even my husband tuned in to see the outcome.(I believe it was the first time he ever watched the show) . Well dont let a couple BAD APPLES get you down. Love You and your show. Best wishes

• Sue Ellen Said on July 9th, 2009 at 6:59 pm

  Niecy. Great to have you back. I quit watching until you returned. I thank the magic between you, Mark, Matt, and Trish is electric. Your fill in host never quite make the mark. Hope all the new shows will be the “magnificent four.” Ohio ladies were “tacky”

• Sue Said on July 9th, 2009 at 7:03 pm

  After watching the show this weekend, I am cleaning one room at a time. I just dropped off eight boxes of books at Goodwill. Tomorrow another eight!!!

• Kendra Said on July 10th, 2009 at 1:41 pm

  It really irked me when I saw this episode. They were completely ungrateful for having you all there to help them clean up their completely filthy house. Some people just want their houses clean and don’t want to fix the problem that got their houses to that place. I’d like to see an update on this family because I have a feeling that it will start getting messy again unfortunately.

• Jennifer Said on July 10th, 2009 at 2:21 pm

  Last night I saw an RV in my hometown of Belmar, NJ. The RV was painted with “Comedy Tour”, “Mayheam”, and “Foolishness”. I went right home and cleaned up. Were you in town to visit or on your way to a show, or was it a fan’s van? Love to see your show for ideas for my own mess…home.

• Teresa R. Said on July 10th, 2009 at 3:04 pm

  Miss Niecy,
  I could not believe the disrespect and rudeness of those two people. They did not deserve the makeover… I wish that you guys had just packed up and walked out. There are so many more people out there that deserve the makeovers more than them… it made me sad to see how they acted and how they treated you and your crew… Keep up the great work Miss Niecy!! We love you all.

• Rebecca Said on July 12th, 2009 at 12:47 am

  That episode disturbed me on all sorts of levels. Hoarding is a psychological sickness. They were sick. My family growing up was that sick. That house is going to go right back to what it was; unless that woman gets help, I don’t see it getting better. They don’t realize the hazards, the fire hazards, the food laying all over! How horrible! I felt so badly for the crew. That house needs to get condemned if they go back to that former state.

• Ana Moody Said on July 12th, 2009 at 2:55 pm

  This episode was the most upsetting one of them all. To see the odasadee of mother who is suppose to a dective in her home town. I would certainly not want her investigating any crimes for me. She couldn’t even take the time to look into the containers to see that the items she was claiming were taken were there. What a dective!!!! Her daughter needs to understand that life is hard and not attitude especially when there home was a pig pen and they seem to be making excuses for the mess. I bet you if you go back in a month!!! a month it will be back to half the mess. I am angry that you guys don’t walk off one of the shows that have ungrateful people. They call you guys! I only hope that there will be a show where you do packup and walk away from one of the ungrateful pigs.

  That’s it. Thank you Mark for giving me ideals for my home you are the man and would be honor to meet you someday.

  Ana

• PAT Said on July 12th, 2009 at 4:00 pm

  I THINK YOU SHOULD GO BACK FOR A FOLLOW UP VISIT. THAT WAS AWFUL. IT ACTUALLY TURNED MY STOMACH TO SEE THE FILTH AND SHE IS AN OFFICER OF THE LAW???? I AGREE WITH ANOTHER RESPONDANT, THEY JUST WANTED A FREE MAKEOVER AND NEW FURNITURE…DON’T WE ALL!!!

• Rob Said on July 12th, 2009 at 4:07 pm

  Niecy,

  You, Trish, Matt and Mark plus the rest of the Clean House crew deserve SOOOO much credit for doing this home. I always enjoy watching the show, and I’ve gotten a few people I know turned on to it too. When I watched it, I was in total disgust with the way they were living. I have seen many homes that you had to do, and this was by far the worst. (Even the one from New Jersey wasn’t as bad as this one) The thing that was annoying me the most about this family is how for the most part, Sharon and Bridget were acting like they were doing nothing wrong and thought the way they lived was “normal”! In total denial of how they were and never thought they had any problem what so ever! I give you and your crew so much credit for the professionalism you showed and gave to them. I hope they saw their episode and were completely embarrassed by their actions and finally learn from what you guys tried to do for them. Keep doing what you’re doing…. you go girl!

• Bernadette Said on July 12th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

  Wow, This is the first time I have seen your show. The Bagliens were very ungrateful. I am not sure how you and your crew made it through. I believe that their home will be right back to where it was, unfortunately. It is a hazard, she’s a detective. She would have reported anyone else who lived like that! Maybe when you go to these homes a psychologist should go also, becuase this one surely had a problem, and definately denial. Her daughter is only growing up to be the same way. It would be truly interesting to see what the home looks like in just 90 days!!! Maybe just a blurb on what is happening with them. I will keep watching.

• Candace Said on July 12th, 2009 at 11:19 pm

  Diva! I’ve got to hand it to you, because those women needed healing in his NAME! I was soooo outraged by their foolish ways, and all I have to say is that there must be a clause in your contract that when you start a show you’ve got to finish it because LEMME TELL YOU!!!! If it had’ve been me! Niecy– if it had’ve been ME honey, I think I would’ve had to cut up on em something awful. I would honestly had to end that show after all of their clowning, by calling those moving trucks to haul ALL of that foolishness leftover back to their … child I don’t know what to call it– a home? And dump every single piece of worthless trash they owned right back into that living room and left them a voucher so that they could replace the furniture that they lost in the garage sale and refocused my attention on a family that wanted to actually clean up their house and their lives because they didn’t deserve it. But I love you DIVA… keep doin ya thang mmmmmm! (1 finger snap)

• Miss AJ Said on July 13th, 2009 at 3:30 pm

  Miss Niecy, I was horrified at the way those women acted and treated you. I hope that they feel humiliated after the world sees how terrible they behaved.
  Thank you for all your crew and you do, I really enjoy your show and more than the clutter tips the heartfelt sweet life advice and insight. God Bless you!!

• Vincent Said on July 14th, 2009 at 12:34 pm

  Miss Niecy I didn’t get to see the episode but I am getting it on itunes. I can’t wait to see it. The Daughter was nice the mom wow hoarder and she still couldn’t stop shopping. I heard the makeover was amazing and it blew the homeowners away. The basement was probably theworstpart of the housejust like the lorias basement and the wheelers attic. I just want to say every family you have helpt should repay you for changing their lives. Thank you for all you do.

• Sally Said on July 15th, 2009 at 9:19 pm

  I live in Ohio, and was embarrassed by the impression these women must have given you of Ohio residents.
  I do believe they have mental health issues, including anger. The mother was mean and verbally abusive, the daughter showed signs of being like the mother. The anger problems were as bad as being in denial and hoarding. I was shocked and upset by their behavior towards you all, you were a class act and showed how a lady behaves, even when unjustly treated. I am so sorry this happened to you. Kudos to you all for taking the high road, you are a class act!

• cassandra wright Said on July 16th, 2009 at 3:27 am

  Ms.Nicey.You are a good women.As is your crew.I don’t think I would have had the strengh nor the inclination to deal with that horrible women and her daughter.Unfortunatly,I have my own mayhem and foolishness to deal with within my own home.However,if I was blessed enough to have someone like you and your crew tom come and helo get it together,I certainly would be appreciative.Thanks for beong so wonderful. cw

• Daniel Said on July 16th, 2009 at 8:09 am

  As much as that family NEEDED the Clean House crew to come in I don’t think they DESERVED the home makeover.

  That mother and daughter showed America just how rude and disrespectful some people really are. For the daughter to walk out, cursing, and giving attitude was bad enough, but the next day (even when asked if there was anything she’d like to say “like I’m sorry”) she didn’t even offer an apology. That was disgusting and it shows the type of spoiled, selfish, rude person she is…and then the mom walked off at the end.

  Kudos to Niecy and the Clean House crew for putting up with the sh…STUFF. The house looked awesome and I know it wasn’t easy.

• Louise Hayes Said on July 16th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

  Ditto on all of the above messages. One question. Why did you go into their house (#3) with open toe shoes on? You and the crew and everyone else should have slamed the door and locked it and let them wallow in their own filth like pigs (mice in their case). You all went above and beyond what was needed. Why not go to someone who really needed and appreciated the hard work. Wish mine was that messy – but the only thing I need is a new bath, kitchen, carpet, windows and new landscaping. Think you can help regardless since it’s not messy?

• Louise Hayes Said on July 16th, 2009 at 2:30 pm

  PS – Forgot to mention – Sharon led everyone on like she was a good Christian church going lady. She made Christianity look like it was working for Satan. That made me cringe. I don’t like people who try to make others believe they are such good Christians. It just gives us all a bad rap.

• Denise Said on July 17th, 2009 at 8:09 am

  Hi Ms. Niecy and the crew…

  First, I want to say I love watching you Ms. Niecy on Clean House, but I first discovered your wonderful acting on Monk! Your team is wonderful as well and I just adore Mark.
  I want to state that I do enjoy watching Clean House but I have to admit it makes me so angry to see that people can be so messy and uncaring of their items. These people are getting rewarded for living like pigs..I think most people on the show don’t care and are totally lazy and they are rewarded for their uncaring actions by receiving a beautiful cleaned and updated home. I have very little, my house is on it’s last leg, rotten roof, rotten floors, but I can assure you what little I do have it’s taken care of and clean. I could very well loose interest in keeping my house straight and clean because of the shape it’s in, but I choose to take care of what I do have. The clean house winners, especially the winners of the messiest house three were very ungrateful and lazy! They did not deserve what the show gave them as winners!
  It would be so wonderful to see the poor people who have very little but do appreciate what they have win an update for their home, instead of watching ungrateful people be rewarded for the lack of caring for what they are fortunate to have!
  Again, I love you Ms. Niecy and your entire team which deals with a lot from ungrateful winner but the show oftens puts me in a depressed mood and a sad mood when seeing the ungrateful receive such a nice reward for the messiest house…:-(

• Bette T Said on July 18th, 2009 at 7:08 pm

  Niecy, Mark and the Clean House Crew took the high road. At least you can walk away with your heads high at the end of the day. The gargantuan yard sale–there were people in line who never even got into the old Steve & Barry’s store–must have been an overwhelming experience.

• Deborah M Said on July 18th, 2009 at 9:08 pm

  What I have to say will probably not be the most popular response, but I am compelled to share what I know about my disease. Addiction is a terrible disease of insanity and denial. People who are addicts live in the world of never enough yet are usually isolated. It matters not if the drug of choice is alcohol, food, clutter,shopping, etc. The show exposed a family in the midst of a disease of addiction as evidenced by continued hoarding, denial, anger, ungratefulness, and other lovely addict behavoirs. Good people, bad disease. This family needed and deserved a program for addiction FIRST before getting new and pretty things.
  As nice and as hardworking as all the crew seemed to be with the mission of “helping” this family, it looked to me as if they needed professional behavior modification help for addicts before anything else.
  Now they have a nice new clean empty house to begin the process of “fill me up with never enough” all over again. It was kind of like watching someone give an alcoholic a gallon of booze and expecting them not to drink it because the bottle is really pretty and it took you a really long time to find just the right one so they better appreciate it and not ruin it by drinking it. They have been given no real tools to move in a different direction. They made no change….you guys did.
  The show has better intentions than feeding addicts I am sure! When people are clearly this unhealthy, simply telling them they are not normal a hundred times may not be enough let alone a few times. These people are so sick with addiction they can barely communicate civilly with the cameras rolling and America watching. I hope the show considers behavior modification programs mandatory for qualified candidates like this family of addicts in the future. And THEN bring on all the clean and new and pretty changes. They will have the tools to deal with their new beginning. That way the family has a real chance for lasting change. And that is probably the mission of all the hard work you do. Lasting meaningful change.

• Yumi Kindred Said on July 18th, 2009 at 10:11 pm

  I was just watching a rerun of messiest home # 3. I am so disgusted at those people! How could they so ungrateful. They acted like they were actually worthy of everything that Clean House did for them. I agree with everyone who said that Clean House should have left at the first (or even second) sign of disrespect! I wish that money would have gone to someone who really needed it and would have appreciate it

• Liz Said on July 18th, 2009 at 11:47 pm

  Niecy,
  Please don’t quit the show. I would understand after all of that extreme foolishness,though if you were thinking about it. Please pass on to yourself, Trish, and Mark that there are many people in America that love you and your show!!

• Heather Said on July 19th, 2009 at 12:31 am

  Niecy,

  I cannot watch that episode when it is rerun on Style because it makes me so angry! They obviously had inner issues that all the organization, cleaning, and revamping in the WORLD could not fix. I honestly would not have blamed you or any of the crew at all if you had decided to pack it up and leave right after the daughter’s little temper tantrum at the yard sale. You all are saints!

• Connie Said on July 19th, 2009 at 11:22 am

  Watching this show makes you see why some peoples homes end up this way.Deep issues for most.Yes some are just lazy,in denial & procrastinate.To live in such foolishness as you say has to be so stressful.I wish they would do follow up shows on every family to see how they have kept up with their new makeover.Or not.Show up unnanounced kind of thing.Great show! You handled this rude family with class and grace.Their actions are on them.

• shahira Said on July 19th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

  Love you and love the show. That detective and her daughter were ungrateful. Pick families that really appreciate what you do.

• derric Said on July 19th, 2009 at 11:36 pm

  you worked it out honey! i loved when you read that girl by the car. Girl I know it took everything you had not to snatch her by the hair and let her have it! i live for you!

• sandy Said on July 20th, 2009 at 8:08 pm

  I was horrified at the way the mother and daughter treated you and your crew! I then got angry that you didn’t walk out on those filthy pigs. Anyone would kiss the ground to have clean house come in and put things in order. But then I saw the next 2. Maria, the mexican lady that cried and the teacher that love her books. Now that’s appreciation! Those 2 episodes were worth watching and I cried right with them. BTW, the messiest house is probably back to the way it was.

• Vanessa N. Said on July 20th, 2009 at 8:14 pm

  Dear Niecy:

  I love Clean House! Congrats to you, Mark, Matt, Trish, and the rest of the Clean House crew for working with such an ungrateful family. I’m a dedicated fan and have watched all three Messiest Homes. This was the absolute worst one to-date. My mom has lived in her house for 32 years, and let me just say, it doesn’t look anything like that. I appreciate how you tried to help a family that didn’t want to be helped. I, too, cried for this family. The first step toward healing is admitance, and until they put that proverbial first foot forward, that mother and daughter will continue to be overwhelmed. It’s sad to see so much work go to a family that is unappreciative, especially where there are so many more out there who need and want the help. You and your team are fantastic. Keep up the great work, and I’m glad you are back. The guests are o.k., but there is only one Niecy Nash! God bless.

• Brandi Said on July 22nd, 2009 at 1:27 am

  Niecy, I did see that show, and I think you handled the situation with so much class. I have to say, I would not have done such a great job with that. I think you have a way of saying what you mean, and still maintaining who your are. Well done!

• Nicole Said on July 22nd, 2009 at 11:09 am

  Niecy,

  Your grace and patience shined through on that episode. I really hope you found a way to recover and recharge after that. I flipped when the mom accused the crew of stealing. LORD HAVE MERCY. Anyway… You’re great. Thanks for the wonderfully unique combo. of tenderness, sterness, and humor you share with the world. Not to mention your drop dead looks! Go on girl!

• Chocolat ladi Said on July 22nd, 2009 at 1:58 pm

  Aiight Miss Nash….where u at? Who is all these new ppl. Where are you, Trish and Mark? That’s way too many ppl missing in one episode for me. I’m sittin here watchin the tail end of an episode with a mexican family. TOO MANY NEW FACES! Please dont disappoint me style network. If its money, they need to just go ahead and give you the money you want. Clean House aint Clean House without you.

  I’m sure that the rest of the cast is prob gettin into big thangs…but man…ya’ll cant leave me. I saw Matt in Xformers and was so proud. I screamed out in the movie theatre. Niecy, you cant leave til ya’ll come clean my sisters house. Imma have to submit some more photos. Love u girl. You are an inspiration and an amazing individual. I wish you great things…even if that means u leaving Clean House =( *bawling*

• Lyn Said on July 22nd, 2009 at 6:03 pm

  Dear Miss Niecy…You are such a classy lady and you and your crew were true professionals to put up with that mother and her daughter.

• Edwina Marshall Said on July 24th, 2009 at 3:23 pm

  Dear Niecy..
  Once again you demonstrated your ability to handle a difficult situation with grace. The women in Cinncinati were just RUDE. Whatever happened to good manners?
  I’m so sorry that you and your crew were subjected to that behavior. The house was done beautifully and it’s unfortunate that it was not appreciated.
  Best to all of you!!
  Edwina

• Dale Said on July 24th, 2009 at 4:58 pm

  Yes, I felt your pain! I don’t know what kept you from leaving. Those two have some serious problems to work out. At first I thought the daughter was the sane one, but after her rude showing, I decided they both need some heavy counseling. It was “overwhelming” (haha).

• Lynne, Olney Maryland Said on July 25th, 2009 at 12:41 am

  Boy, oh boy, what I wouldn’t have done to have help like that in my life! Those two women should be ashamed of themselves!

  Especially that mother! She has a young daughter who is healthy and young who should be a help to her BUT doesn’t lift a finger, and she, herself makes a good enough living to hire people to do the work (as a detective she probably makes over 70 grand a year!).

  Us old peons who live alone are stuck in our madness with no one who helps or listens..LOL! I would have kissed the ground you guys walked on if you came here, and I SAY that because if you came here, I STILL would..long history of collecting, yard saling, antique dealing, thrift store living (hey who can afford retail as a Nurse supporting 2 kids(1 disabled and still in college,) alone all those years?…) anyway..kids gone..who is to help?..no one..
  ungrateful clean house recipients should have passed their good fortune on to someone else who would have been MUCH happier to have that enormous help!
  Oh what I wouldn’t do for help like that!

• MaryJo Said on July 27th, 2009 at 10:04 am

  I can only imagine what you all went through. Not only were they rude, but totally inappropriate! I saw your pain in the basement and it touched my heart. I think your honesty is what makes your show so special. My family and I never miss your show!! I even watch the reruns. If you ever get to the Upstate NY area give us a shout!! Til then keep up the awesome work that you do to help deliver those poor souls from themselves!!!!!

• valnita Said on July 27th, 2009 at 11:46 pm

  you handled it swell sister girl… keep on keepin on.

• Adrianne Said on July 28th, 2009 at 4:41 pm

  Hey,Niecy. Girl, I saw that show and felt your pain! You exhibited the patience of a saint. I love you,the show, and the whole crew Niecy, and I wish you would come to New York. Is there any possibility of that? I would even be willing to volunteer some time to help out. Keep up the great work!

• CindyLynn Said on July 29th, 2009 at 10:26 am

  Miss Nash,
  Your an Angel.
  I have never seen such rudeness towards you or the crew before. Most people treat you with the respect you deserve on the show. Those two need help in the worst way.

• Sheaina Said on July 29th, 2009 at 11:48 pm

  wow!!! I cloed my ears at some of the rude things they said! At leats all of yall survived it!

• Nik in Texas Said on July 30th, 2009 at 9:54 pm

  Neicy, Just wanted to say I love the show. You and your crew are a Great team with Great Chemistry. It was unfortunate to watch these disrepectful, ungrateful people treat you all the way they did on Messiest Home 3. But of course they couldn’t understand where you were coming from…afterall, you have class.

  Love your show. (Whenever I’m cleaning my house, I tell my husband, we got to get rid of all this “Foolishness!” =)

• Kathy Pratt Said on August 2nd, 2009 at 5:50 am

  Your show has motivated me. I’ve recently cleaned out some close relatives houses and had to keep some of the collections of junk until “I” could go through it. I don’t want to leave my house in the same condition. You’ve got me started …..maybe I can convince my body to work at my new goal. Wish me luck!

• Priscilla Said on August 4th, 2009 at 10:35 pm

  Ms. Neicy, I really enjoy you and the show. But you and the crew went beyond your duties with those 2 ungrateful women. Oh my goodness I wanted to send them to a 3rd world country so they could see how blessed they are. If you came to my house honey you do and sell anything you needed to to do the wonderful job ya’ll do. God bless all of ya’ll

• LaShawn Said on August 5th, 2009 at 4:34 pm

  Neicy, you and the Clean House staff worked a true MIRACLE on that show. I was so impressed with what you all did for that family, and yet my heart was sooooooo grieved and embarrassed at the way our city was represented. I truly hope that you all don’t get the feeling that all Cincinnatians are rude, disrespectful, and unappreciative. We are not! If no one has offered an apology, please accept mine for the way you all were treated and the nastiness that was displayed by the family. God Bless you all and may Clean House truly live on another 15 to 20 years, as long as you’re at the head of it. Thanks again!

• Vee Said on August 16th, 2009 at 7:50 pm

  Niecy, you and your staff are incredible. You have so much patience and tolerance for people who clearly have some serious issues. I was in disbelief with the Cincinnati family especially when you showed her the wherehouse and she did not think it was a problem. Rather than cleaning their house you should have gotten them some psychiatric help. Shame on them for displaying such an ungrateful, and shameful attitute. I wish your show had given this wonderful gift to a more deserving family.

• Debbie Said on August 21st, 2009 at 8:54 am

  Niecy -Well, I finally saw the Messiest House #3 and I was shocked on the amount of crap these two women had. I was more shocked by their behavior. How do you (producers) find these ungrateful people. It seems that they would have benefited with the help of psychiatrist rather than your crew busting butt and cleaning and creating a beautiful home. Why do people who don’t care seem to get all the help? What about the people who work hard and try to create a smart, safe environment for their family. I know that when you have emotionally unstable people on the show, it creates DRAMA… Maybe that’s what it’s all about. I for one love your show, but wish you could have people on that want to actually change their bad habits and improve their own lifestyle. Or maybe help people that just need the style and flavor of Mark. He really does an amazing job and I mostly watch your show for your humor and the final reveal. I also wanted to remark on how you handled Sharon and her daughter – You were amazing. I loved how you spoke your mind. Thanks for the GREAT SHOW… Keep on dumping…

• Mindy Said on August 22nd, 2009 at 6:44 pm

  Niecy,

  I was absolutely horrified for you, Matt, Trish and Mark and even your poor producers over this show. I have rarely been angrier than watching that unfold. Those two did NOT deserve the house you gave them, or the patience that you showed them. Bravo to you for being able to keep it together. I truly hope these two saw themselves on TV and were embarrassed by their behavior, because I sure was. Keep doin’ what your doin’!

• Bridget Said on August 22nd, 2009 at 9:55 pm

  We so appreciate your caring manner with these families that are in a mental crisis. Please come back to the show soon! Let us know when we can next see you!

• Princess Lily Said on August 24th, 2009 at 9:51 pm

  Neicy, from Reno 911! to Clean House I have ALWAYS loved to watch yor work! I think you are just so sassy and insightful on Clean House. I know that sometimes you can’t please everyone but you and the team gave it your best shot and all the posts
  I have read are totally on your side and got your back. You guys do amazing things for people and I love tuning in to see you, Mark, Trish and Matt work so hard and always deliver! Everyone loves you! Please come to Boston and let us bask in your light!!!

• Linda Daigle-Jones Said on September 1st, 2009 at 1:44 am

  Dear Miss Nash,
  Your show is one of the best programs that I have seen in a long time. Thank you. I’m writing now to you to ask if you and your wonderful crew would come to Westminster, Maryland to help my sister, Teresa. Her house has always been messy, but now its beyond help. And a lot of it has to do with all the problems she is going through right now. On June 27, her youngest, Thomas, committed suicide, and now her oldest daughter is in the hospital psych ward. Holly is having trouble coping with her brother’s death. She had been seeking help prior because my mom died of stroke in 2007. To top all this off, Teresa was in a car accident two weeks ago and the car was totalled. I have never seen her this depressed, and I’m afraid for her health. I tried to help, but its difficult for me to get around, I just had a double mastectomy due to breast cancer four weeks ago. She has a large house, its too large for her. She needs to sell it and purchase a smaller one, one that she can maintain herself and still work full-time. She’s a baker for a local grocery store. I know Teresa would be very grateful and I would too. Any help, guidance, etc. would be a God sent if you and your people would come. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter, and God bless you all. Linda

• Bing Testa Said on September 5th, 2009 at 8:17 pm

  My dear Miss Niecy…You, Matt, Mark and Trish did a tremendous job handling this ungrateful mother-daughter team who lied and denied a lot of issues and defended their selfish and greedy nature. They’re sick and need a theraphist pronto. I am addicted to your show…I enjoy watching even the repeats. More power to you.

• Sandy Said on September 7th, 2009 at 1:54 am

  I just saw the show. It is great to watch I feel that the Mother and Daughter don’t even see they did anything wrong. In their own sick thinking they are normal and we are just misunderstanding them. It really is a mental condition. Addicts are in denial all the time and this condition is very much the same. I have an Aunt who is very bad at keeping everything from the time she was first married. She’s been married for 6o + years. She can’t see it being bad in her home either. Keep up trying. Some people are willing to get help and change.

• galan05 Said on September 7th, 2009 at 11:13 pm

  As appalling as the condition of their house was, their behavior was even worse.

• Beth Said on September 15th, 2009 at 10:46 am

  I live in Cincinnati and was so embarrassed by this family. Please don’t think that all Cincinnati people are as ungrateful and rude as these two people.

  I have learned so much from watching your show and have learned to let go of things. There really is no reason to save so much. I recently had a yard sale and was freed from so much clutter. My family and I owe it to you.

  Thank you for a wonderful show and for all that you do. I again apologize on behalf of Cincinnati for what you encountered with this mother and daughter.

• Mindy Said on September 22nd, 2009 at 1:31 pm

  These two made Tony Dragon look like the poster child of normalcy! I wanted to reach through the screen and give Bridget a good pinch! The only comfort I took away from this episode is that the entire free world got to see how these two really behave-i hope they’re mortified. I know I am!
  We love you Niecy!

• Vanessa Lampert Said on September 27th, 2009 at 7:33 pm

  Hi, Niecy! I live in Brazil and I just LOVE “Clean House”. Where can I find some of the show’s episodes online? I’m still looking for.

  Luv ya!!!

• Lana Said on October 9th, 2009 at 4:10 pm

  Hi Niecy, you are a strong role model for women everywhere of every color! Good for you not giving up on your dreams and keeping your faith through all the adversity you have faced. As for the messiest home in the country #3, you did the best you could, I hope that family will watch the show and realize how lucky they are that you continued to help them while they were so disrespectful. They both should be ashamed of themselves. I hope God opens their heads and hearts to healing and some mature growth.

• Wolf Said on October 31st, 2009 at 8:03 pm

  Oh My Good Lord girl, that family was from crazyville population 2. I don’t know how you were able to keep it together with those two, they were so rude to you, not to mention the younger one didn’t even offer you an appologie. If I was you, oh honey, I would have went off on her LOL, her momma would have had to put me in cuffs, but of course being the true professional you are, you were not only able to keep it together, but you were able to do it all with a smile, koodo’s to you sweety, Keep it up. Your fan, Wolf

• San Antonio Lauren Said on November 4th, 2009 at 11:14 pm

  Miss Niecy,
  I just finished watching this episode, and my Lord those disrespectful hogs should have been singing your praises instead of mouthing off. I dont know how you keep your cool, but if I was in your position I would have been tempted to pulled that little girl’s blonde hair out of her skull,and return that mama’s new appliances and tell her whats what. Thank you Miss Niecy for your professionalism, and your ability to inspire families to clean up their hot mess. Your Texas fan, Lauren

• Mynivia Burrell Said on November 4th, 2009 at 11:49 pm

  I just caught a re-run of this episode. OMG! I couldn’t believe how rude the mother and daughter both were. I was inspired by how professional you and your team were and remained throughout the ordeal. I am a therapist in training and I admired your stamina, your “show must go on” attitude and your boundaries. Saying that you did your part and that it was on them to do theirs gave me a second wind for my journey through school, work..heck, life in general. Thanks, Niecy, to you and your team!

• Paula in Ohio Said on November 6th, 2009 at 1:44 pm

  WOW!!! My kids had this episode DVR’d and I just never watched it. Well, last night I did….UGH! I think there were more mental issues than anything else going on with this family. The whole situation was very strange. The Mom was very up and down throughout the whole show. It was definately very strange! You guys did a great job, once I saw the rodents in the basement I would have left them with nothing clean but a trail as I barrelled the heck outta there!!! YUCK! Bless you all for doing what you do. Most of the people you help really appreciate it but there always has to be the “oddballs”. Boy did you find them this time!!!

• LAGuy5283 Said on November 10th, 2009 at 8:40 pm

  Dear Ms. Niecy – you and the CH team are such wonderful, compassionate people, and this episode was painful to watch, because it hurt to see you and the team be so disrespected. the mother was a coarse, vulgar harridan and the daughter was about three beers and sixty pounds behind. I thought I was going to lose my dinner (which I was eating in front of the TV) when I saw the rat in the basement, crawling thru enough all that junk. But at one time, it wasn’t junk – it was good useable stuff that could have helped so many less fortunate people. And then to see the lack of gratitude for the great job that y’all did on their home. It takes all kinds, I guess.

• Carol Said on November 12th, 2009 at 12:07 am

  How can I nominate my sister’s house? She’s in Indianapolis with husband and the three most wonderful little girls. They are all drowning. Pleeeeeeaase……….

• Lauren Said on November 15th, 2009 at 11:56 pm

  To Niecy and Clean House,
  During my Master’s program, we watched clips of Clean House as examples of exemplary counseling, especially dealing with immediacy. My professors were wowed by Niecy’s ability to really connect with the families, and I’m always wowed by her inspiring spirit and FIERCE fashion! <3 you Miss Niecy!

• Ann Said on November 26th, 2009 at 1:54 am

  I am APPAULED at how BOTH Sharon and her daughter behaved! Shameless! Niecy you are quite the lady, I don’t think I would have handled their outrageous outbursts and lack of decency well at all. YOU truly make this show! I adore you sista!

• cathy Said on November 27th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

  Imjust watched the rerun of the messiest house #3 and I agree with other…these people did not deserve being on your show and you did not deserve to have to deal with the disrespect. I do not have clutter problems, but you are always welcoem to come help me design my home….we would have great fun.

• Mark Said on November 27th, 2009 at 8:10 pm

  Miss Niecy!

  You’re amazing and I love you! (Though Mark Brunetz is more my type…)

  Illnesses are illnesses, but rudeness is inexcusable. While you weren’t fighting for a ‘win’ against this family, you came out on top simply by airing the episode. Their attitudes were on display for their community to see.

  Thanks for a great show! I have a clutter-less home, but I love seeing the ideas for style and organization.

  Big hugs and kisses!

  I am so glad you have this site. Those two “people” did not deserve your kindness as rude as they were. My husband and I were so upset with their behavior. To think, the lady was a police detective. I believe that one’s behavior in their personal life is indicative of all aspects of their life. I would hate to have to rely on someone so stubborn, mean and nasty; to do an effective job in their work life. I felt your pain when you began to cry for how they lived. There are people in THIS country that would have loved to live in a home of that magnitude and would care enough to keep it clean. Then finally to be accused of stealing the lady’s junk….I don’t know if I could have kept my cool after that. I commend you and your show for continuing to strive forward and complete the job. Awesome work! God will bless you for your kindness and diligence.

  I just watched this episode with my mom during Thanksgiving and we were both speechless. They were so ungrateful and treated the CH team like they should be waited on hand and foot as if nothing was wrong with them. Yes, people that make it on the show have issues with hoarding and not cleaning up after themselves but these two were beyond just having issues. The two ladies were basically living in a garbage dump camouflaged by the walls of a house. It was disgusting and what made it worse was that they seemed to think people all over the US lived like that. Well, I guess some people do live like that, they are called hobos.

  To Niecy and Clean House: I believe there is a spot reserved for you in heaven. Anyone who had the strength not to retaliate the rudeness shown by these two must be a saint. A police detective with a gun? Scary thought on all levels. I’ve been a fan of your show for quite some time and have watched many episodes more than once. Not this one. Once was enough.

  Niecy I’m new to the show but I watched it TODAY! Bless your heart! Girl, your job sure is hard. I’ve read that people who live like that are mentally ill. Perhaps those people should have counseling or therapy because I would hate for them to go back to their old ways. The daughter did not know any better because she was brought up that way… her mother on the ohter hand needs some serious help. I do believe it’s contagious…I would hate for any grandchildren to grow up that way or even with that mentality.

  HON EE
  trish sumed it up when she said
  “What is wrong with this family”?

  I love the show and I so so glad that you came back. The job is not the same without you Miss Niecy. (smile) I would like to know why you guys did not go back to the couple who won Messiest House #2 to give us a update. I enjoyed when you guys went back to Messiest House #1.
  Keep up the good work. You and the crew are a good team.

  The mother and daughter from Cincinnati are the most UNGRATFUL people I’ve ever seen. The Clean House Crew took their precious time to help clean their nasty house, and how do they repay them? With denial, rudeness, and foolishness. Initially I felt sorry for the daughter because her mom seemed to be in some serious denial. However, towards the end when Bridgette started acting a fool, I was like what the heck! She’s just as bad as her mother. There are families out there who wouldn’t dare act like that if they knew that their FILTHY house was being CLEANED and redecorated for free! What kind of nonsense is that? Then Sharon refuses to continue to production because the believes that the Clean House crew took her grandmother’s purses. Who signed these people up for this show? I know it couldn’t have been themselves. Let the Clean House Crew come to my house and say they’re getting rid of every single thing in my room…i’d be HELPING them take my crap away…lol. Honestly, production should’ve stopped. Clean House should’ve left this family to drown in their filth, because they are so ungrateful and rude for no reason. If this family hasn’t apologized already, they need to. Niecy and the crew handled it well though, because if it were me, all hell would’ve broke loose. That family ought to be ASHAMED of themselves. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life!!

  I feel your pain, Niecy. That wasn’t clutter. It was chaos. I have never seen anything like it. I can also imagine how traumatic it must have been for these people to be separated from their piles of possessions. These women didn’t need a makeover. They needed therapy. The tidiness probably sent them into shock.

• Mary Said on January 23rd, 2010 at 4:22 pm

  My husband and I watched the show today and couldn’t believe the behaviour of those awful women. You and your crew did a wonderful job, but I agree with so many other replies that your crew should have left them in their own mess. They were completely undeserving of all your help! Your show is usually such an inspiration but we both felt sick after watching these results. There are so many kind hard working people out there who could have used the life changing help you provided those terrible people. I hope this doesn’t happen to you and your crew again. Keep up all the great work you do. We love ya!

  i love clean house! you and your awesome sexy crew have even inspired me to get rid of some of my own mayhem and foolishness! i know a couple of people here in kansas that could use some of your expertise! those cincinnati broads were rude and crude and you all deserve so much more respect than that…keep on doing what you do soooo well! love you all!

  Hi,I am new to watching your show Clean House,I love the show,I get some good decorating ideas from you but I have to tell you the messiest home 3,it was terrible how you and the staff were treated by this mother and daughter team,they were so ungrateful I just couldn’t believe how rude they were.Keep up the good work.

  Niecy and the Gang,
  I do not know how you all do it. But God gave you all some extra blessing when you were born. How anyone can be so ungrateful is beyond me. I suffered a nervous breakdown at 29 and still thank everyone that helped me through the denial and the bad days. These two people have some deep issues and no matter what you do for them, they will never be grateful. I moved from San Diego to Lacombe, La 7 years ago. In doing so, I saw my mom go through the same thing, but at the hands of my sister and I. My mom hoards fabric because of how the colors make her happy. But I am proud of her, because she does make blankets with them now. I love you and what you all. Your show has inspired me and my family to no longer shop for needless things just because it makes us feel good. And we always ask…”What would Niecy say?”
  Thanks for your awesome crew and keep on going girl.

  I just caught the messiest home 3 last night. That mother is a pilar of her community? Shame on her living like that and involving a child. Any grown woman that lives like that is sick, and in addition to that, letting her nearly grown child talk to you in such a way is terrible. Sorry that you endure people like this. I am ashamed of that for them! You are all great!! Keep up the good work
