What a stupid show. I saw this the other day, the episode happened to feature a young Black woman who liked to eat/taste laundry detergent. It was way too obvious that her addiction was not real, just a young kid wanting her 15 minutes of fame if you ask me. First, she's only been doing it for six months. Let's see, send an email to TLC and wait five months.... yeah, that's a natural addiction... addiction to attention! She can't even tell her friends, or parents with a straight face. The first time her mother heard of it was on camera, how real is that.
I have to give it to TLC's Spaghetti-Throwing tactics... throw spaghetti on the wall, see what sticks. This show just smeared the walls leaving "skid" marks on the way down.
It is interesting how you can have a boring day and those shows come on (usually a Marathon) and you get reeled in for at least that time period. I tend to not return to the show but that one is a strange show. I do find that most reality shows are oddly unrealistic. Everyone just wants their 15 minutes of fame. I would rather not be known as the laundry detergent eater - but to each their own!
What about the lady who had to sleep with her hairdryer? I don't think I believe she is truly "addicted" to sleeping with her hairdryer.
I honestly think that one was the most suspicious. I can see that people would like the taste of off the wall things (how they learned to like that is beyond me but who am I to judge - maybe detergent sandwiches were all the rage and my parents didn't catch on? ) but an attachment to a hairdryer was just the most ridiculous thing. It isn't a pacifier, certainly not cuddly (maybe they have teddy bear ones now?) and frankly the only benefit is drying your hair but of course ruining the condition of it. Ajax and Laundry Detergent at least clean things so they are more of a beneficial type of thing. If anything, you should be mad at the hairdryer!
I wanted to like this show, I really did! I thought it would be something like "Taboo" or "Intervention," but I was seriously disappointed... it's not only contrived (in some cases), but they don't really DO anything. Maybe 30 minutes isn't long enough to cover two stories, because it just falls flat in the end.
Somebody should go on there for being addicted to City-Data...
