To wonder how people aren’t embarrassed by going on “Sort Your Life Out”

[ThePunnyPeachDuck]

Their houses are shit holes and they are sob storying Stacey Solomon

I would rather torch my house and all the stuff in it then have to listen to her screechy voice all day

Just tidy your house up you dirty sods

I see adverts for shows where there's something like 4 couples then there's 4 singles introduced and they have to try and tempt one half of a couple away, or something equally ridiculous.

And every advert there's someone upset or screeching at someone else. I can't fathom why you'd think "do you know what I need? Someone filming while some random person tries to make my partner cheat on me, to see if they will".

What’s her house like?!

Sort Your Life Out is pretty much the last terrestrial tv show I watch. Dd & I love it.

I really don’t understand how anyone can hate Stacey Solomon. She is probably the nicest tv presenter out there. And I wouldn’t describe her as screechy at all. But she does have a strong Essex accent so I’m going to hazard a guess that this is what you actually mean.

I only recently discovered SYLO while recovering from a mental breakdown. I found the love and care on the programme so joyous. Which is why - even though the episodes are formulaic - ever episode is different. They help, they go over and above. And Stacey gives everyone a big hug. It's just lovely.

I love the programme (and Stacey)
but I do have questions… where do they find the time to clean, dry and press the clothes to get them on hangers in the warehouse by the next day?

when they are putting things in the rubbish/donate/sell piles why do they tip everything out into a big old jumble rather than keeping things relatively sorted?

do they ask the homeowners what colours they like as sometimes the paint jobs are a bit zany?

And there it is! The holier than thou post!

I love the programme and Stacey and the team, however, I agree that they do look as if they make the rooms messier. I’ve suspected it for a while now and look where they’ve done it. They often show the rooms with drawers and cupboard doors open which instantly makes a place look messier

What an utterly horrible post. OP clearly has been very lucky and hasn't been through some of the shit that others have. Shame on you OP.

When I was a child, my mum's mental health was terrible, my Dad is very likely autistic (although of a generation where it went undiagnosted) and our house was horded and dirty. I'd have given anything for a show like Sort Your Life Out to come and give us a reset. Perhaps that's why people are willing to move through the embarrassment and participate - for their children's quality of life?

Honestly, I don't blame her. He's lush 😍

Exactly this.

This is how the world keeps turning round where I live too.

How sad for the OP to not have experienced how friendship and community works. You come across as very bitter and lacking any empathy OP.

Have you even watched it? Or queer eye which is similar? There are often good reasons, depression, loss, grief.

Oh to be as perfect as you OP. Do you feel proud of yourself?

I’m totally having an affair with him in my head.

Yawn. Bet you’re a right laugh….

I used to be obsessed with Hoarders (USA reality tv show). It’s not just stuff - it’s people living in shit and piss - literally. Empty coke bottles of piss and toilets that no longer worked filled with shit.

No matter how many episodes I watched, I never ‘got it’. It’s a filth porn. Watching people who can’t be arsed to bin rotting food or clear rubbish. It’s clearly mental health issues but that won’t get the viewers in. It’s shots of mice and vermin, piles of dirty clothes strewn across every room and a fridge opened by a hazmat wearing host that makes the viewer feel better about their own inadequacies. Absolute trash tv.

I’m a domestic cleaner and I’ve learned that there is SO many reasons why a house ends up messy/cluttered/dirtys. Some people it’s mental health, some people weren’t ever taught how to organise/clean, some people get very overwhelmed and others have little kids and just can’t find the time.
this post is so extremely embarrassing!!! Imagine judging someone like that.
also horrible of you commenting on Stacey’s voice as if it’s something she can control

Love Stacey and love the programme.

I'm sure some of them are embarrassed by the state of their houses but most are clean. People ended up in these situations often after very traumatic events in their life, where for a while they struggled to cope and things build up from there.
They need help, support and love, which they get from Stacey and the team. The difference it makes to them is wonderful .

I think the OP needs to lay off the 🍷and lay off Stacey too. Do yourself a favour and watch something else that you might enjoy

I mean he is HOT. I get excited when he’s occasionally on Interior Design Masters too.

I'm sorry for your loses.

I love this show so much. I'm neither drowning in clutter or a neat freak but the team are so nice and they transform people's lives. I would love them to organise me but I don't have an extreme house or want to be on TV. I think the OP is unusual, most people are more empathetic. One of the strengths of the show is the niceness of everyone, the presenters, the families and the kids are amazing. I find it quite uplifting.

I hope things turn a corner for you soon.

@ThePunnyPeachDuck I've not seen the programme, but come on. Put your money where your mouth is, share pics of your home.

I'm assuming it's about messy homes? Let's see how spotless and organised yours is?

Does anyone know if the young woman who had children, who was decluttering and redecorating her home, is still on here? As an aside. I thought she was incredible, I can't remember her name.

i wonder if they are all that messy really!
Pretty sure if I emptied the contents of my loft and garage all over the house then mine could like it too! (I have been tempted to do this so she can come in and organise my whole house!)

Ever watched "How Clean is Your House" with Kim & Aggie in OP? Compared to SYLO you ain't seen nothing yet in terms of wondering how these people aren't too embarrassed to go on TV!

Oh no I like Stacey! Although she did nick the idea from Nick Knowles off DIY SOS. He did a show called Big House Clearout, exactly the same.
