So... Yesterday I watched a show on TLC that both freaked me out and intrigued me!! It is called, "My Strange Addiction." It is odd. The three half hour episodes that sucked me in last night included a lady who eats dryer sheets, a girl who lives as a baby, a teen who eats plastic and a woman who not only carries around her husband's ashes, but has taken to eating them. To be honest, the show is awful, but like "Toddlers and Tiaras," I cannot get enough of it. These people are told that their strange addictions could kill them: dryer sheet lady and ashes woman, in particular. Yet, they continue on... If you enjoy oddities or train wrecks, you should TUNE IN!
I'm in love with this show. I saw the episode where the lady eats laundry detergent powder...crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis show blows my mind!! Do you think this stuff is actually real or acted out for the show? The episode I saw there was a lady who had to sleep with her hairdryer. Another lady was obsessed with eating the stuffing in sofas. I am not sure if you could actually have such an obscure obsession.
ReplyDeleteMy little sister had a roommate in college who would dip a butter stick into the sugar bowl and lick it while watching TV. Actually I've seen a few episodes of this show and it makes me feel even worse than Hoarders. Those perky hosts, so well groomed and dramatic. They always do the stunt where they bring the person face to face with how much whatever they eat in year. I loved the "I only eat meat" guy when they filled a giant fish tank with meat. He's all "Some of those cuts make me wanna grill right now!" Or the fat lady who only would eat cheese and potatoes (did I need to say she was fat?) For weeks I went around saying "Kelly, what do you want to say to these cheesey potatoes?"
