My interpretation of the show is that it sounds like a bunch of whiny spouses who want someone to try to help convince their collectible loving spouse to part with some of their stuff because they need money for something else...or they're just whining for the sake of whining. My reaction is, you know if your spouse finds more pleasure in his/her collectibles than sharing time with YOU, I think you need to look at yourself and figure out what the problem is.
They're probably going to go at it not as a hoarders thing but more like "Clean House" where they're going to try to "get to the root of why you want to collect this stuff" and try to convince the person to part with some of it.
My response PFFFFFTTT!
People who aren't collectors don't understand collectors. For the most part, there's usually a psychological aspect - I know for me, when I get really stressed out, I buy stuff. Ok, I can guarantee most of the bitchy wives do the same thing but instead they go get shoes or hand bags, or spend a fortune on a new hairdoo or manicure and yet that's "normal."
I'm not overly worried about this show being a success, the viewers might watch the first episode, will be horrified by the seeing someone having to part w/ their stuff and they won't tune in for the rest of it. The show will go off into oblivion. They would've been better off doing a series that celebrates kick-ass collections, not try to paint them in a bad light.
