We have talked about hoarding in the "what do you feel like saying now" and another thread. I wish I could find those posts which also discuss hoarding throughout history.
Being a hoarder is an extreme of being messy or being a collector. Are you sure you have hoarding tendencies, 33girl?
As for these shows, not all hoarders are "gross." Some are clean people who just can't stop collecting items and have so many items that they can barely walk around their house. Unfortunately, many and perhaps most hoarders are "gross" in that they have things like feces on their bathroom floor; and have a packed refrigerator filled with rotten food and maggots. It's messy to the extreme because it is an obsession and (according to some people) an addiction. The woman in this episode is a "gross" hoarder. It is quite sad.
