I don't know...that whole story just smacks of a giant "fuck you" to Jeremy. Like, making sure he knows that not only did she settle for him, but was also horrified initially at the thought of being tied to him permanently. And making sure the world also knows that she tricked him at first. Super, super, classless, Leah. You are free to make your own decisions with your own body, but this does not need to be a part of your "memoir". I mean, I know the publisher probably figured nothing else would sell your book, and you wanted the cash, but someday you are probably really going to regret this.

I do think some of the social media posts were pretty tone deaf. And yes, one of the articles I read said they could have left on the 23rd and chose not to do so. After that day, they were stuck, I think. But they did get warning. I mean, if they don't have to go home, I'll not fault them for choosing to remain where they were, but some of those posts they made strike me as in pretty poor taste.

Sacrifice? SACRIFICE? WTF? What exactly have C&T sacrificed? Their privacy? Dignity? Perhaps, but they also sacrificed their offsprings' as well, and those checks aren't going to Nova, Vaeda, and Carly.

I would imagine they'll splice unused footage with some cell phone footage and limp through the rest of the season. There are probably some legalities if the season was already sold to MTV. I will say that's a pretty artistic shot on top- Leah and Gracie's physical similarities are really highlighted to the point where Leah almost looks like a metamorphosed aged Gracie jumping on top. I actually think Ali resembles Leah as much as her twin does, but the rounder face and different hair make it less noticeable. Addie...oh boy. Whoever said she got the worst of both her parents really nailed it.

Kail, $10 x 26 paychecks is better than nothing, but...let's be real, that slush fund would be wiped out the first time you accidentally ran over glass and needed new tires. It will not be your salvation when you're furloughed for 3 months. You know what is more helpful for surviving a financial crisis than putting away what amounts to less than half of one month's average rent that it took you a year to save? Living at or below your means, Kail. Not pissing away your money in an effort to impress people that in all likelihood you'll never even meet. Or buying a ridiculous McMansion that you don't need and will cost you a fortune to maintain on an annual basis. And at the risk of sounding classist, Kail, anyone who is in the fortunate position to be able to sock away an impressive savings amount is not likely looking to you for financial advice.

Agreed. Gary is awesome, but only when you compare him to people like Amber and Cate. I'll not blame a 20 year old for not having the maturity and life experience to realize what a shitshow it'll be to pimp out your poor life decisions for a few thousand bucks, but Gary is now approaching his MID THIRTIES. Amber will be 30 in May and Gary was a few years older than her, if I remember correctly. The time to quit this show is long past. But none of these people will ever do it, no matter how much they whine about how "over" it they are. These are a bunch of permanently emotionally stunted individuals who have become completely dependent on social media validation and lack the most basic of coping skills. Handling a job with real responsibilities and an unsympathetic boss who doesn't care how "stressed" and "anxious" you are, would put these fools over the edge.

It doesn't surprise me, but I never thought they were a particularly inspirational couple. I don't think Bryan respects Brie at all and Brie is about the dumbest person I've ever seen on TV, and that's saying something.

Believe her state is in lockdown just like the majority so I can't imagine she's able to do much. I could see her inviting a bunch of her paid friends over to her house though.

Javi served a purpose for her, nothing more. And I am not even talking about the damn health insurance. She wanted to be married and have children in wedlock to fit with her well-to-do suburban junior leaguer archetype. Which she found boring once she had it. She may regret throwing it away, but that would mean admitting she was wrong. Which she'll never do. Javi's remaining purpose in her life is to remind everyone that someone once loved her enough to marry her, and probably still loves her (I mean that as her narrative, not the actual reality). He is a living, walking prop to her. I don't think she has any honest affection for Chris, either, despite willing to make an ass of herself over him time and time again. He has become this new thing she has to "win" and in her single minded determination, she hasn't even considered the prize itself (which is no prize), just the need to win. This is a deeply damaged woman who probably hates herself, when you get down to it. She's obnoxious and unsympathetic, but I do feel sorry for her still. She punishes herself on a daily basis more than I (or anyone who dislikes her) could ever hurt her.

In fairness, for a lot of people, sick or not, being 88 does mean feeling like any day could be the last day. I guess she could be sick, but my guess is that she's high risk so she voluntarily avoids the trashtastic duo that can't be bothered to shower or clean under their nails.

I am actually super impressed with this post. This is a very mature and rational argument that sounds informed but not sanctimonious.

When it's convenient for her, sure. When she's facing potential health complications, or you know, intense pain without pain medication, all bets are off.

Yeah, Kail, good luck finding a hospital bed to give birth in when all the hospitals are overcrowded with virus victims, healthcare workers are down 20-40% because they are sick/quarantined, and necessary medical supplies are severely limited/rationed.

OMG. You guys. Dying laughing at the thought of a entire contingent of super pervs previously unaware of Teen Mom 2 that now tune in in the hopes that there is more naked women/barn animal interactions on the show. I can just see it: Super Perv #1- wow, this show is kind of boring Super Perv #2- right? When is that blond girl with the tattoos going to go hang out naked with some livestock? We've been watching for 20 minutes now and all that's happened is five different 20 something women whine about how hard their lives are...

She does. She was set to graduate the spring of 2009, and took extra classes while pregnant so she could graduate in 2008. But I don't believe she has her AA, despite publishing in her book that she earned it spring of 2015. As of fall 2014, she had one semester left, and she then dropped out the spring of 2015 either due to her pregnancy, or Bentley's travel sports schedule. I don't believe college was ever mentioned again.

Gracie and Ali could go either way I think...they could see the dumpster fire that is Leah's life and learn from it. Addie, on the other hand...given the lack of control Leah has over her, the lack of presence of her father in her life, the way Leah gives so much positive reinforcement for looking "cute"...I think Addie is the likeliest to be a teen mom, but since she's so much younger than the rest of the first wave of kids, she may not be the first. I'm going to hell for this, but my guess is Aubrey or Jace. Sophia...all the elements are there, but honestly I think any boy is going to run far far way from that mess (the whole Abraham clan).

I don't remember that, but Leah TM2 actually was on birth control shortly before she became pregnant (she lapsed on her depo shots about a month prior to conception). It was hinted that Maci got pregnant in the same instance that she lost her virginity. The rest of the girls from TM and TM2 were regularly having unprotected sex with their boyfriends and it's somewhat surprising that were able to not get pregnant for as long as they did. And considering Bentley and Leah are turning twelve this year...it's really not a stretch that a teen mom grandma is in the cards for this show. I don't think it will be Leah or Bentley though. It feels mean to speculate, but...some of these kids are likelier candidates than others.

I would say college is probable for both Bentley and Leah. Gary and Kristina have demonstrated a priority on education, and while Maci...doesn't, she does have Bentley enrolled in the kind of kid appropriate extracurriculars where going to college is just expected. Vaeda and Nova...probably not. I hope they realize what idiots their parents and extended family are, and realize the importance of education, but it just usually doesn't work that way.

Well, it's not like she's actually touring these places for personal edification or anything. She's going only so she can check something off her list and brag about her "jet set" life to her followers. Her main goal is to get selfies in front of famous landmarks and stunning vistas- not actually, like, enjoy seeing them for their own intrinsic value. She sucks.

Hot tubs are frowned upon while pregnant. I don't know how dangerous they actually are to the baby- something about how they can make your body temperature rise too high which has shown a small chance of causing birth defects in an extremely limited study. It's one of those things I think that probably won't cause any lasting harm, but so easy to avoid, so why chance it? Of all the ways Kail has exposed her kids to unsavory things, this probably isn't even top 50. I would guess she means that he didn't pull out when he could have, which is what she accused him of last time. I am sure her subtext here is that Chris intentionally knocked her up to keep her away from other men, or in some way punish her for trying to leave him. These people are all trash.

What is WRONG with these people? This is not funny or cute.

I agree- I can't see anyone, with anything to bring to the table, choosing her. The only people she'll attract are fellow drama llamas and people who think reality TV stardom is aspirational. She is just way too trashy, way too unpredictable, and way too quick to use a domestic violence charge as a means to an end.

OMG, Lincoln is SO freaking adorable. Lauren may or may not be willing to help, but I suspect the point is moot as Kail would never actually ask her. No way is she going to do anything that makes Lauren look good. She will drive all around town, or worse yet, make her kid miss practice before she will give Lauren anything to brag about.

Duh! How else will she and Leah learn Icelandic?

...wow. Someone is easily impressed. What a shock, Kail's fanbase seemed like it was made up of such educated, responsible, mature individuals.
