There are usually a few items
that are difficult for the hoarder
to part with and the audience
is witness to the conversations
and arguments between the
hoarder and professionals on
how to make decisions about
parting with items. The episode
generally ends with footage
of the house much emptier
and cleaner than before. The
closing credits mention how
the hoarder is doing after the
clean-up and if they have accepted
services offered by the
television show such as therapy
or professional organizer
visits. A reality television episode
is often the first exposure
to a hoarding situation for the
audience.
