Sorry for the bunch of posts. I’m posting as I watch. I think this show is making me become heartless because during Butch’s emotional scene I couldn’t stop wondering why he wrote in his journal upside down ? I fast forwarded through most of Maci’s scenes. I’m not listening to a fake storyline. Trying to sound like they want to do right by some poor kids in foster homes burns my butt. These poor kids need homes and not to be exploited for a storyline, they better not use a child for any episodes if they’re not truly serious about it. If it comes out that Maci and Taylor were legit serious about adoption then I will stand corrected and feel badly but until then Maci’s reputation for being dishonest has me doubting her. Mackenzie, quit trying to portray Ryan as a doting soon to be dad. It isn’t going to happen. Don’t think he was joking when he said “see you when the child is three.” Actually, maybe he was kidding because it took until Bentley was 9 before he showed interest so maybe age 3 was a joke lol. I also loved it when she was telling him how sick she felt and he just “uh huh” her while glued to the phone. Good luck with that Mackenzie. The first thing a real man says when his new bride is sick is “crap. Need any Tylenol or something?” At the MINIMUM...lol. ?

Leah the scene stealer that has her moms number. Leah: When I start driving I can drive you everywhere! ?☠️ Apparently Leah is an observant little girl that knows the key to being a big part of her mommy’s life is being at her service - chauffeur/bag fetcher/chair grabber/Canned green beans opener/chicken isn’t ready yet griller. ETA: Amber having her cousins who’s a busy mom of three come over to clean and cook for her - you’d think her uppa classiness would offer to pay for her brakes to be fixed.

Did Amber really say “It would suck if Leah didn’t have a father!” When complaining about Krystal’s baby daddy leaving her at 15 weeks?? Hello Amber?!?! She has a Dad, no doubt about that, but I’m shocked that you don’t think not having a MOTHER is bad!! Leah got the dad but the mother walked out of the child life. #luckilyforKristina.

I had gestational diabetes when I was pregnant with my first child 17 years ago due to gaining too much weight fast (couldn’t afford much so lived off of the free unhealthy meals from work). I had a job that entailed being on my feet for 8 hours with zero sympathy from the managers. I’d puke in between taking care of the customers. Then walk home two miles because there was no bus coming my route and I couldn’t afford a car (I was 18 when I got pregnant) and this bitch can’t walk to the bathroom to puke. Fuck her. Reflecting makes me really appreciate the life I have now - after HARD work!!!

And the finalist had better not blindside Leroy by winning the money. I don’t care to watch another bitchfest about contestants playing a game. ?

I don’t understand how it was okay for Kam to target Cara for every grenade but the moment she participates in the game and just selects a person to save Leroy is quick to get bitchy and Kam is all “and Cara is supposedly Leroy’s friend!” Did we see Cara get all pissy when kam kept targeting her? I mean, Cara gave a few eye rolls but didn’t strong arm anyone. This sucks because I normally like Leroy but I don’t like how he and Jemmye get all nasty when their names FINALLY get brought up for elimination meanwhile their “friends” have all gone one, two, and sometimes three times to the elimination. I don’t like how Tony pussyfoot around the reason for throwing Leroy in. Just be honest, you felt that kyle was easier for you to beat. I’m proud of Kailah and Cara for standing up for themselves to keep zach, if that were Johnny he’d make them throw Zach in to save his ass not caring about the girls wanting a stronger partner. Every challenge I watch the guys all bully the females and take control of the game then screwing their female alliances at the end. Re: Paula on “The Island”? Im still shocked that the girls allowed for Johnny to dictate an all male troika during a female elimination. Anywho. ? I hope Cara wins. I hope Leroy wins but only if he buys himself some big boy pants and realizes this is a game - he’s got to play it to win it and sometimes be played. Nothing is personal. Sorta.

I had a couple of “friends” a few years ago talk like that on Facebook. Everyday, all day you would see “Babe, thx for the big breakfast this morning I owe you dinner tonight ♥️♥️“ with a photo of the breakfast with a tiny vase with one rose on the tray. Then a bunch of “Thank goodness for John Doe, without him to motivate me into being the best me I can be I’d never make it to the gym” insert a Really sexy and staged #postgym selfie. This was annoying the hell out of me because my feed was covered with their loveisms. Two months later the engagement was off. My hubby and I barely “liked” each other’s photos and I’d have people say “are you guys okay? He’s never tagging you or liking your status updates, etc?” And I would say “He’s usually RIGHT THERE when I do it at the kitchen table and sees the photo I’m about to post and verbally says ‘cute photo’ before I click post!!!!” They would give me a “sure, Jan” type of look. These people later are divorced or broken up to the people they were all lovey and sloppy with on SM. I’m sitting right next to my hubby (he thinks I’m texting my mom about a pineapple raisin sauce recipe and not talking about Teen mom on a forum?) years later anticipating the kids coming down to see what the Easter bunny brought them while giggling like school kids in LOVE without having to post our current conversations on Facebook. I’m mean, really???? My predictions are that Cate and Tyler are on their way to splitsville.

Has anyone ever tweeted that to her?? I would LOVE to see her reaction to this?? Or for someone to say “You’re not a real woman, the REAL woman is at home raising YOUR child!” I also agree with another poster that said Amber only acts violent when she feels safe. When she knows security or other people will try and stop her - like Dave Eason.

I’m all about being a fun parent but my husband and I can’t stand it when parents do pranks during Xmas time. They will wrap up an empty box or a gift that is obviously not meant for the child just to get them on film either having a meltdown or look gutted at the thought that Santa did that to them. It’s just MEAN. Especially that young boy who thought he was finally getting an XBOX and his family put socks or something inside an Xbox box for Xmas. The kid was MAD ? The empty Easter eggs is bullshit!!! She’s a 3 year old!!! She’s going to wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed to collect her Easter eggs like a sweet little girl and discover some are empty?!?! Fuck you Cate!!!!! I’m sure there are other ways you can fuckin entertain yourself!!!!

You Bitmoji???? I LOVE it!!! I have to send my hubby one all of the time and he gets butt hurt that his galaxy phone doesn’t allow Bitmoji. I’m able to send him a clever one for anything we are talking about and he usually says “Holy crap! There’s even a Bitmoji for that????” I caaaaaaan get over the top with it, though. I sent one to my realtor when our offer got accepted and my husband was likeeeeee “why did YOU send our realtor that??” Until he heard my text message go off and to discover my realtor sent me a reply using HIS BITMOJI! ??

Lol. This made me look at the very last text exchange between myself and Mr. Calm to see if we are anything as annoying (or fake for twitter fans) and this is the last bit of messages while I was at class last night. ETA: judging by the text, we talk big people stuff without being too corny. Lol. Our 3 year old had a cold if anyone was concerned, she’s pulling through. ???

Make me think Maci made up the miscarriage for a storyline. Seems like it backfired when Cate ended up having one real time. The dinner scene for the anniversary, Taylor kinda looked like a man that asked his wife not to resort so low as to making up a loss of a pregnancy for ratings and when Maci said it anyway, Taylor gave her a look like “I’m not sure I know who you are!” The dinner scene she made it sound like they mourned together and named the embryo Dandylion in remembrance to only discover that Taylor learned about it TWO MONTHS LATER?!?!?!?!!? She’s not a good liar and her lies always end up coming up becaue she says one thing but never sticks to the one story but keeps adding variations of what happened. Maci is sick person if my theory is correct. To lie about not knowing she was pregnant until she was way far along to cover up for being photographed drinking and partying up whil pregnant to then making up a miscarriage because her life is boring is so low. I’m not into shock entertainment. There is NOTHING fuckin’ entertaining about loss of pregnancies so she better be telling the truth otherwise there is a place in hell for her and Amber to one up each other on traumas. ? I’m sorry everyone, I’m having a terrible week (month) and I’m overly bitchy.

Am I losing my mind or do Amber and now some TM viewers not follow the Gregorian calendar??? ? How can you technically be an age? You’re either the age or you’re not. If Kaiser’s birthday is June 30, 2014 that would make him officially three not technically three while turning four this summer. Maybe I’m misreading the twitter post - TM talk makes my brain hurt. Amber adds on an extra 14 months to everything she does in life, along with adding a day (not days, a day - even Amber knows she can’t bullshit more than an extra days worth of Leah visits) onto her visits with Leah.

I always crack up when I watch a lifetime movie where the main character has a low paying job profession but lives in an incredibly pricey home with nice furniture and cars. Lol.

I couldn’t wait any longer, I decided to pay $1.99 each on amazon prime for the two episodes and boy was it worth it!!!! It’s been a very long time since I had watery eyes due to laughter. ? I was worried that the nostalgia of the show was going to be all that will drive me to watch the entire episode like “Fuller House” (Fuller House is a cute show but it wasn’t the same as the original - to me anyways, but a good show without the attachment to “Full House”) but it wasn’t forced. I truly loved both of the episodes like I did when the show originally aired. It was legit FUNNY, and picked up where it left off...they were all their same and it felt warm and fuzzy watching it. I’m 36 years old now, so I was the same age as DJ was (Michael Fisherman) so I wasn’t able to watch the show when it aired but in syndication. I’m going to make a goal to see a live taping in the near future - hopefully!! ? It wasn’t as politically driven as I thought it was going to be but I liked how they made it to where there was a voter for both sides of the election versus them ALL being for one specific person. It was funny. Dan and Roseanne make awesome grandparents and I love how they don’t baby talk the kids and talk to them the same way they did with their kids with tons of sarcasm and wit. Darlene looks better than ever. I loved seeing Becky OG, her voice did sound much different but we have to remember she was a teenager when we last saw her and her voice may have deepened with age but daaaaaamn, her face didn’t age!!!!! Darlene’s wardrobe is so cool. Not much lines for DJ, then again he was very young when the show originally aired and he survived off of quick one liners and nothing with too much depth, so maybe acting just isn’t a strength of his but they are working with him to keep him in his role, but I don’t see him getting outside acting gigs. Nothing bad on him, but acting doesn’t come as natural to him as Becky and Darlene. Dan jumped back into his role like he never left it. I’ve seen him in a lot of different roles since the show cancelled, one being “The Patriot” where his personality is completely different than the Dan character and I loved seeing how he was able to get back into the same character we remembered. Jackie is the same and I absolutely adore her. She hasn’t changed a bit!!! The only thing I would change is to make her act like she did in the first 3 seasons before they got her more whacky, but I still love her. Mark was a great addition. I like how they added him and how the Conners, especially Darlene, are embracing it ...Dan took a moment but Dan meant well. Darlene 2.0 even dresses like Darlene used to, actually, I think Darlene’s wardrobe is the same lol. I can’t stop smiling. The opening with the original theme song with them sitting around the table gave me goosebumps and I sported a smile and a ton of chuckles throughout both episodes. I can confidently say, this show will need the cast to quit it in order for it to stop airing because I foresee the ratings going through the roof while maintaining it well past the hype stage. This show isn’t going to survive on nostalgia, it’s a friggin hit!!!!!!! Welcome back , Conners!!! The Calm family missed you!!!!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️??

@bounnatalie as if they didn’t just have a 20 hour road trip to gather Leahs belongings, lol. It may be wonky editing but judging by the look on Gary’s face he was probably fearing the worst - It’s gotta suck having to hand over your pride and joy to someone that hasn’t proved herself fit enough to take care of a pet yet alone a human for a cross country trip. She IS the one talked about in that blind item about leaving her baby unattended in a bath tub.

Gary’s mom was never married to Jodi. In fact, he had just proposed for the first time a few episodes ago and his mom handled it like a doll. ?

With the 90s look back In style, Darlene can pick up where her wardrobe from the old shows left off. Lol. I’m planning on buying a pie of doc martens like I had in high school. ? Darlene’s daughter is her spitting image. I can’t wait to watch the whole season.

Jackie Harris: Auntie Barbara? It's Jackie... Jack-key! I'm fine... Fine!... I'm fine!... I have some bad news... Dad is not with us anymore... She starts getting much louder... Jackie Harris: I said Dad has passed away... He's passed away!... Dad is gone!... Dad's dead!... He's dead!... NO, *DEAD!*... *DAD!*... He's fine! He sends his love! Bye! That was some good acting ...I love Laurie Metcalf, she really was a scene stealer. Another one of my favorite Jackie Moments was when Roseanne was telling Jackie that she can’t handle conflict and that she has an addictive personality while scarfing down pancakes ... Jackie Harris: Well, have another shot of pancake, Roseanne. You know, people who live in glass houses, shouldn't *eat* stones. ? Oh! And the “is this tub shrinking?” ? ?Okay, i’ll stop now lol...I’m like a giddy little kid waiting for the episode

My gawd, the wait is killing me!!! This is the ONE show that has me pissed that I cut the cord!!! I want to watch it live ??? I waited 21 years, what’s one more day before it’s online? ? You people better deliver some amazing live updates lol, as I know you will - I can always count on my PTV family!!!! ♥️♥️

Shawn can go pound sand. Amber NEEDS this job more than MTV needs her. Replaceable. Farrah sure thought MTV needed her. Maci thought MTV was going to beg to keep her during the Farrah ultimatum. What other job will hire someone with a resume consisting of couch marketing? Nothing with a salary worth a damn. Now two child support checks to fill out. I’m still hurt about Gary’s not-the-father for having a felony on his record for some missed child support. Any lawyers on here know if his former dad can get the felony taken off his record with the proof of the negative paternity test?? That’s BS if a mans life can be destroyed for a child that was never his. Or can he get his money back? I know it went to providing for children but I’m angry at the fact that his Mother didn’t give two shits when she heard the test came back negative knowing that the dude went to jail, paid over 20k and lost potential jobs due to a felony on record. All she could say with a nasty attitude “I told you there was a chance he wasn’t yours!” Then why did you push for the child support?

They’re going to keep getting paid nicely even after it’s cancelled? Ah crap! I didn’t think that was in their contracts. Whatever.

I have no idea why my name is attached to this post. Not mine. ?

That was the quickest episode I’ve ever watched. I ♥️Fast Foward button. I mostly tuned in for Gary and Kristina taking one for the PTV team. It sickens me that he has back peddled by apologizing to that bonehead but at least he spoke our thoughts on an episode. I wish I could hear the thoughts of Ambers producer when she was defending her “it was 3 times not two - liars!!!” And NuMatt throwing in his comments about being disgusted that Gary and Ambers “fans” can’t understand when a mother needs an endless supply of free time to overcome breakups, the flu, hangnails and pms without having a child witness that side of her. She acts like bootcamp was for the entire summer and that any of the money was earned to care for Leah. Gary was absolutely right!!! What happens to Leah if Gary gets depressed????? I mean the dude just found out his Dad is NOT his dad and doesn’t know who is that’s a moment where Gary could have (or is dealing with but keeping it to himself) fallen into a depression and Amber is hogging the get-out-of-parenting-free cards. Gary walks around Amber like an abuse victim. Always fearing that what he’s says could cause Amber to strike at him. Men can be scared, too! Also, where were all leahs clothing?? I saw a PINK bag filled with gifts from Christmas and a small traveler bag but no suitcase? Not important. Maci - I’ve tried to show patience for Maci’s slow, monotone way of speaking but I just can’t do it anymore so I didn’t catch any of her scenes - I have patience for other people in life that talk that way but 10 years of Maci and I’m out for the count. I don’t know if she’s just trying to formulate her words as she goes or if she’s a pendantic speaker but wow...I can picture Taylor during their drunken fights screaming “get to the fuckin’ point!” For some of he seconds I glimpse of Maci she was looking at her phone while Tyler was opening up to her and that’s all I caught. Bye bitch. You just wanted to leave the kids with Taylor for the weekend. FU Amber! You’re not the mom of two. You have one on the way with your parental status being unknown and you’re the flakey aunt to another beautiful 9 year old.

I remember when you shared this story a few years ago (wow! I’ve known you people for a while ?) and I remember tearing up. Your strength is admirable. Its a tough subject so I won’t say too much, but Pregnancy test these days are just too sensitive for anyone’s own good. I remember when I was TTC my third baby and I was able to find out at 11 DPO and some ladies in my TTC group (trying to conceive) found out at 8 DPO!!!! That’s Days Past Ovulation...that would mean 8 Days AFTER the female was ovulating and had sex!! I remember congratulating some of them to later discover they miscarried and they were HEARTBROKEN!!!! Women should not be finding out this soon! That’s why they’re so many more miscarriages...sensitive pregnancy test (the dollar store ones are the BEST btw), when normally a woman would think she’s just having a heavier period that month, I could be wrong as I’m not a doctor but do all miscarriages need medical attention? @CaliforniaLove @Rebecca I have been going NUTS waiting for March 27th!!!!! Is there a Roseanne reboot thread or are we all just going to add on to the original thread?? I got my loose meat slow cooking, I’ve got my cornflakes in a meatloaf baking and my lunchbox chicken shirt being ironed and I’m READY for the Roseanne reboot. You know Amber kinda reminds me of Roseanne in her earlier days...I’m not trying to make fun of the queen of comedy but those earlier years she was more loud and bitchy like Amber and had really chubby face. Lol. I hope it’s a success!!!!!!!!!!!
