yall just exposed her completely and so mean too oh my god I feel so bad for the women

[@Eli04893]

Agreed, maybe her children or family are watching this.

[@chydollhouse]

yes they were rude asf

[@Dani-uu9mn]

Am I the only one who thought Brandi's closet wasn't that bad in the beginning?? Don't get me wrong; they did a great job. But they made the "Before" seem a lot worse than it actually was.

[@smyt0025]

Omg I was digging for a comment where someone said this! These women are professional organizers, SURELY they’ve seen worse. At least put on a brave face and don’t go omggggg?? When she opens the door? Seems like playing up drama for the show where no drama is? Thought it was weird.

[@thehappinesstree8089]

As an ex professional declutterer, I don't really get it. Why aren't they doing it WITH the client? Just not sustainable to do it FOR them.

[@thehappinesstree8089]

I dread to think how much they charge for this...

[@doloresfraga5609]

They later on teach the person how to mantain the categories they have created. May be in this episode is not obvious, but they usually think about how to make it easy for the client to keep up the sistem

[@lsamoa]

@@doloresfraga5609 But what if the categories don't work for the client? I agree, they should do it with them, or let them do it themselves like Kondo does. It's their home, they shouldn't have to "keep up".

[@andreeat2142]

@@lsamoa I think some people just want the things to be done without any effort. I agree that kondo method is better, helps more to keep the things that way and also to get perspective

[@lsamoa]

@@andreeat2142 Yes, Kondo is much better indeed. My concern with THE is that it might seem like a quick solution without much effort from the part of the client at first, but come next day and they'll probably be struggling with building a routine around it because it doesn't follow their own personal way of doing things but someone elses's. In the Netflix show you notice how many of their clients call them back to fix things again because they couldn't keep it going. It's not sustainable in the long run. Quick fix, long term problem. And repeat clients for these two.

[@dorislew8980]

"First thing.. get this crap off of the door..." I turned it off after that. Let's not elevate rudeness.

[@ReneeMSimpsonRDN]

I thought it was just me but I see you caught that too. As soon as she walked out the door the disrespect started. Very rude and tacky. I watch the show on Netflix and didn't expect this. You trust someone in your home, your sacred space, with your most personal belongings, and they do you like this? Very disappointing.

[@helenl3193]

They basically replaced the 'crap' with a more expensive version that does the same thing. Sure, it looks nice but there's a reason she has to work 2 jobs(!), so of course she's going to opt for the cheaper version. Just no need for the snobbery

[@mzcaramel]

I honestly thought they were being sarcastic because clearly none of her stuff looked like crap. But hey it could have gone over my head. I also didn't think the ones looked that bad either so there's that lol 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@badandbookiee9081]

My favorite character on this show...Sumner. Omg hilarious!!😂😂

[@ktgoetzwa]

In my closet I put shoes on a shelf with 1 shoe facing front and the 2nd shoe facing back in each pair. Then I can easily see the style (heel height, open toe, etc) when I’m selecting which pair to wear. And I think it looks better also. Try it, you’ll see.

[@petteroakley8000]

Excellent Video! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (google it)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for decluttering your home minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my close friend Aubrey after many years got amazing results with it.

[@NathanielHale]

I absolutely hate this reality tv format trash. There was hardly anything useful or worthwhile to glean from this at all, and 90% of it was drama, sensationalism, and filler.

[@Alice-ql4vh]

Um the sex toy part? Why would they leave that in? That’s so disrespectful!? Trying on her clothes? Ummmmm... Yelling at each other? Very annoying....

[@autumnfl0wer]

Well they probably asked her before putting it online

[@jazzyvdub]

You must HATE Queer Eye then

[@MB-mq1sf]

Right. One Episode they thought they found someone’s placenta, and was all eeewww! On another they find teeth and upon the immature dramatics they dropped a tooth in the sink, a childs tooth. Now I see this? Have they no professionalism at all? I wonder what is the deal they make? Let us humiliate you on tv but you get a free makeover.

[@tutonelylesnaranjo6311]

Fabulous duo❤️ and your offerings uncluttering spaces is sooooo tremendously satisfying to watch and attempt to emulate. Thank you so much.

[@mariatakalo4371]

I feel like Clea is constantly trying to put her coworkers and their clients down, it’s all the negative, under handed comments

[@whenyouwishuponastar6643]

And she really talks over the other host

[@jo4vt]

Now I know they have a organization product line at Walmart, which is amazing. I didn’t know who they were or about their products until I watched these videos on YT. I’m glad they are still available to watch because they don’t get outdated! :)

[@crystalb410]

Clea has such an overbearing personality. She's really hard to watch. There's very little professionalism, always pointing out some "gross" thing in each persons house.

[@anitarichmond8930]

OMG this is so fun, and I am so late, I love that she put the waist trainer on, HILARIOUS !

[@jfallis9082]

I have never seen this show nor these women this video was in my feed so I clicked to watch it. I do not like the “fake” acting the kind that starts small drama just to make the show interesting. I would rather watch “clutterbug” here on KZbin then this show.

[@BlacksmithBets]

The ridiculously over the top excitement is mad. 'Don't cry'! What? Don't cry at your things being tidied!? She said now that she can move on with her life, like wtf? If that untidy closet is seriously causing you to move on with your life then you need a therapist, not these people.

[@ominous8136]

I was appalled at the unprofessionalism. I had previously watched the Netflix show and was not expecting this. Not only did they not cut the "embarrassing part" but she also refers to her clients stuff as crap. (I understand that sometimes it slips and you don't mean it literally but it is a huge habit to break if you wish to be professional and keep costumers). Also the eating in her room if not given permission highly rude. Furthermore, the trying on of clothes (again without permission) was bad manners.

[@realestatejada]

I call my stuff crap lol. Not defining it the usual way...more as to when I say stuff "yes beech" using it in a positive way (to me at least)

[@loveydoveywomanH20]

@@realestatejada right, because its *yours*. Its your crap. That stuff isnt their stuff so they dont have the right to call it crap, what if the purses were a gift from a family member she loved or something. Just was the wrong choice of wording to me.

[@annettegarcia789]

I'm just lovin this my closet looks so cluttered I can't even put anything in it Thanks for sharing this Beautiful make over

[@ImTash]

i'm sure that lady really wanted the world to see her sex toy. she probably forgot it was in there - a little class, a little decorum and basic respect for other people goes a long way. This was totally unnecessary of them. The woman's self esteem is already clearly rather low don't take away her dignity. I like the end result of their work (basing this opinion on their netflix thing) but i have to have it on in the background on mute because the relentless high pitched shrieking makes my teeth hurt. I'm pretty sure every bat in the country can hear them.

[@Moonwired]

[@Truetruebiesook]

@Jamie Andrick I agree with the rest, but they were literally paid to go through and organize her stuff. No snooping here

[@DMosesRN]

WOW …..I love you’re guys stuff I also own your books. My question is : Why did you put your client on blast?? Why didn’t you guys edit out the part about the sex toy ??

[@tablescissors]

Short answer: ratings. I would not be surprised if the sex toys were even ADDED, with full knowledge and permission of the guest (home owner,) and everyone on the show is getting a shout-out, so they are likely to agree to such things. Organizing is not everyone's cup of tea (read: mostly men), so how to you pull in an additional demographic? Sex. All sad and mundane, but very true.

[@ShoppingwithRina]

Oh wow so nice

[@ginnyberg9271]

Love the closet love the blush yes to number one I hope number two did not break her heart

[@hhacque]

Cool closet update! Great job finding the blush accessories for the color scheme. I'm disappointed that the closet wasn't given a fresh coat of paint or a really lovely wallpaper on the back wall. I also feel that an additional shelf on the top for additional storage would've been a nice addition.

[@KA-eu9sy]

They wasted a lot of vertical space up top. Why put books in the closet? How many books would that little basket hold?

[@lsamoa]

@@KA-eu9sy Yeah that made no sense, exactly

[@dccd673]

The clean laundry basket was also a waste of space that could’ve been used better

[@lsamoa]

@@dccd673 Exactly. What is even a clean laundry basket for??

[@pfadiavia8310]

lsamoa I think it’s for laundry you used once but can easily wear it a second time. I actually don’t think it’s a waste of space because I always have a huge pile of these clothes and it’s great to have a place to put them.

[@reinaamerica1]

random question...but the pendant lights when Clea's husband is photographing you (at 7:47)..where could I find these? Just moved into a new space that has NO lighting in the living room and bedrooms and runs only on lamps. (there are no lighting fixtures for wired lights). Thanks so much!

[@Janelegant]

Where did her purses go?

[@giennefarcais6834]

Ok - you buy the containers without measuring the shelf they're going on? And there's no editing of the clothes at all? I get this is an entertainment show, but for organizing purposes, how do you work like this?

[@katherinebrown7182]

As someone who organizes, I was THROWN when I saw this. No plan? I don't buy that at all. No organizer who makes money just says "ok well lets go shopping and see what we find"....but also 99.9% of us who also have OCD know EXACTLY what the Container Store carries and check their new inventory rofl. Groups like THE also have staples that they always rely on for projects so theres that.

[@shalom7457]

I am not learning how best to organize from this streamlined show... no talking with the owner of her closet to decide what to keep? Yes it does seem they simply eyeball the space as there is no show of measurement. A lot of editing must be going on as they go in without any tools either & we are given no info on how long the whole organization takes, how far is this home to a container store, etc.? So many Qs.

[@KA-eu9sy]

They were too busy eating cupcakes in someone's bedroom without a plate or anything to catch the freaking crumbs. Who does that!? Too busy to do any measurements.

[@jellyt8767]

I watched their show on netflix and I guess they get the measurements beforehand. I'm sure there were a lot of things happening BEHIND the camera that we don't see in the show. considering that this video is less than 20minutes. how do you expect them to put it all in?

You are telling me that she went from having a wardrobe with no room to hang one more hanger, to all this extra space AND they were able to space out the hangers? This show is unrealistic, unless they made her throw away more than half of what was in there.

[@conniegallion2505]

Agreed. But it helps to organize and straighten the clothes. You can fit more when it's neat and tidy. Also, it looks like a lot of items are folded and stored in bins now.
