    Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

    The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

    I noticed a lot of y'all seem to have a problem with this show. Some want the 'old' formula back. Y'all babies or something? Things change, people move on with their careers, or want to do something entirely different.And if you want different, you can't get much different than Clean House. With a diverse team (I'm currently seeing episodes with Nicey, Trish, Mike & Mark) who are cruel, but kind, and a different family every episode, with unique stories and backgrounds, this is one of my favorite shows.It's not just about going in and giving people money and going 'Hey, boom, let's clean up your house'. It's about saying, 'You know, there are some problems here you need to address and we'll help you, but we can't do it all for you' Because that's the truth. You can give people money, you can redecorate their homes, but if you don't talk to them, you're not teaching them anything. You have to get in there and be brutally honest with people. Just tonight I watched Clean House Search For The Messiest House In The Country 2 and honestly, the couple were nice enough, but needed some hard truth. At first I thought it was a bit wrong, making fun of these people when they weren't on camera with the team, but honestly, it needed to be said. Who wants to live in a house with rotting food, cat mess in a hallway cupboard that you block with a box to prevent the smell from getting out? Team, you do a great job. When y'all coming to Australia to clean up?!

    I loved this show. I could collect "treasures" (read "useless crap") until I die, and I would still look like nothing compared to the people that end up on this show. I can point to these people and my husband can't complain about me. I didn't used to like it very much. I found Niecy and Michael way too stereotypical for their market segments, as we say in silicon valley. But they, and all the cast, grew on me. I watched them pry away, sometimes with a verbal crowbar, the quadrillions of treasures from neurotic collectors. They're all expert wheedlers, negotiators, and compromisers. Now I like them. Don't want to live with them, but I like them. Sometimes I admire them. They're willing to go into almost any neighborhood in Los Angeles to do what they have to do - and they confront interesting sanitation issues without completely freaking out.I like Mark Brunetz best when it comes to designs, and Alan when it comes to yard sales, and the familiar Linda. Every once in a while, I notice Linda got a little snippy at the client - but then, having dealt with the homes of difficult relatives and being an obsessive organizer myself, I'm right there with her and have personally thought of physical violence as a possible option. The show does follow the same format every time, but predictability makes me happy.The closest competitor, Clean Sweep, offers designs that look pretty cheesy compared to what Mark Brunetz is able to do, probably because Clean Sweep is building them on site (ah, the luxury/downfall of having a carpenter). Mark must spend more time with the clients than we see on screen, because he somehow takes amazingly disparate tastes and puts together rooms that look good, often even to me, and make people happy. Mark's designs also look practical from a usage point of view.I sometimes have a little trouble with watching people on Clean House give up their "treasures" (yes, "useless crap," but to the owners, each and every piece of useless crap seems precious) to raise money - except that if something didn't come out of the house, there would be no room to move. And having been through losses myself, Niecy's sensitive support of the widow who didn't want to let go of physical reminders of her husband was effective. We get Clean House on the Style Network, which regrettably must show the same damn commercials throughout. It's enough to drive you insane, and if anything would make me stop watching, that would do it. But it's unlikely, because this show gives me solid points for being such a good housekeeper and non-obsessive collector.I have relatives and friends, though. If only they lived in the Los Angeles area.I have to add, though, that I dislike the 2006 season version. Too much (OK, endless) product placement, too much canned behavior by Niecy. I don't like the way Trish treats clients; she seems abrasive and direct to the point of being rude with vulnerable collectors and buyers. And I don't like the endless supply of donations that they seem to have to work with on the one hand, with no money for stressed Mark on the other hand. I do like the out takes, but I wouldn't invite this new cast to work with my relatives and friends.

    E! has had a range of "ups" and "downs" in the business. True Hollywood Story is fantastic. But this may be the worst television show to ever be dumped (steaming pile style) on the viewing audience. Dull premise, annoying talent, overly pleased with itself...watching this show is like dating Ed Brinkly - at the end of the date, it just doesn't put out. The executives working on this project should be canned.Reality TV can be interesting and engaging, but only when the personalities are intriguing and honest. Everything about this show radiates a bunch of idiots sitting around at table planning "the next not-so-original-money-maker"."Old Yeller" was put down to spare him any further pain. E! should clean its own house and spare US anymore pain.

    I love this show! Niecy Nash is hostess with the mostess. The twist in this show is the clutter is sold at a yard sale. The show matches up to $1000.00 to clean, organize, and decorate of what is sold. There is prying and crying. Niecy's sassy style is hilarious. Watch this show
