  1. I preferred Katy over Madeline S. as a DCC. Madeline seems like a great person, but her dancing was nothing amazing, and I didn't personally care for her look. Manly jaw line. I love Katy's spunk.

    And, why does Amber need their help so much ? What the hell ? They drive an hour each way to bring food to a young girl who doesn't even work. 

    Not a young girl. A rill woman 😂

    That's true but it looked unhealthily skinny.  I was thinking she was popping some pills with Ryan.  She should eat his hat.

    This is funny, because I was wondering the same about BOTH Macs. With Rhine's wife, she's always had interesting features, but I did notice her face looks thinner. Probably just losing pregnancy weight. I thought she looked pretty good. 

    Other Mackenzie ... eek. What IS going on there? I used to think she was gorgeous. Now she's beginning to look like her sister, who looks like a 50 yr old man. Her features are looking harder and more masculine. I hope she's not using steroids or something?

    If I didn't read this was Gina, I would've never known it was her. She looks great, but completely different. It's really sad to me how these ladies alter their appearance to fit some DCC mold.

    Wow. I think most of this is Facetune or some other editing rather than actual surgery. But those extensions don't match. From a distance this is a very cute picture of a theoretical person, but up close it's a poor representation of Gina.

    I guess for those of us who have raised children into adulthood we have all seen rules broken...I didn’t kick my son out when he let his friends use our pool and jacuzzi while we were away for a night, I didn’t kick the other one out when he and his friends made some sangria type drink with a very expensive bottle of wine that we had been gifted, I didn’t kick my daughter out when she. (Well, she was never one to really break a rule...). They broke my rules and we worked on the why, the how, and the what you were going to do because you didn’t think the rules applied to you.  Teens overstep the line all the time...ALL. THE. TIME.   You do not throw your child out when it happens

     

    The son who let his friends swim..he grew up to be a bipolar adult who during a long bout of mania made a baby with a drug addicted sort of sex worker type....anyhooo...I am rising his child, his bipolar is uncontrolled, she cannot be trusted, the situation arose and we’ve had her just about four years now...she’s four and a half....I never thought I’d raise another child, but it happens sometimes...you pull up your big girl pants and do what needs to be done.....it may not be your plan, it may not be easy, but what about raising kids really 

    True. But even if Liliana had given Myrka the option to remain at home, if I were Myrka I wouldn't have wanted to. I think that was more the point than anything. Myrka was given another option, so we didn't ever find out whether or not her mom would have literally driven her to a homeless shelter (which I'm sure would be illegal). There are just some people whose boundaries you don't mess around with, and Myrka knew her mom was that person. She was figuratively kicked out either way. Remaining with her mom would have been incredibly uncomfortable once she broke her biggest rule. But I don't think Liliana would have truly put her on the streets. 

  6. I don't have much of an opinion on circumcision other than the irony of Lawrence's mentioning that only someone with a penis should make that decision. Same goes for telling someone how pushing out a baby feels if you do not have a uterus or vagina. I was waiting for someone to tell Lawrence that the child's problems with being uncircumcised will be all mental. 

    I understand not wanting to cause a child pain, but the only way I can relate to this is to think of my own life ... I was born with a deformed ear. My parents could have had it fixed when I was tiny, but they chose not to. They said they didn't want me to go through the pain and also didn't want to send the message that something was wrong with me. Consequently, I went through childhood and early adulthood with the deformed ear until I had the guts to get it fixed in my early 20s. At that point I felt the pain of recovery. I still remember it. And I'd already gone through the embarrassment. I would have much rather my parents taken care of it when I was little. But I guess this is the same argument people use for piercing a baby's ears (they won't remember the pain), but I don't necessarily agree with doing that. So, again, all of our mileage will vary and is based on different experiences.

    Who wouldn't want 2 parties???? I can't decide if she's being ridiculous or mature in thinking 2 parties is just ridiculous. 

    The dad won't even let her pull into the driveway so he's going to be ok with her coming into his house? Ooookkkkkkk.  They better get a rental space. 

    Yeah,  this is a strange situation to figure out. In a way I think this is the most insightful Jenna has been and it shows some maturity that she sees the benefit of getting along for the sake of a child. On the other hand, this may just be another case of wanting the world and everyone else's feelings to stop for her, because she believes she's that important. I kind of see this one both ways.

  8. I definitely agree that some of the drama is manufactured or emphasized for the sake of the show (ie baby shower) but I guess they're trying to show issues that pregnant teens would face. A baby shower certainly isn't, or at least shouldn't be, the major event that the show makes it into, but I do think it's realistic for a teen to make a huge issue of it. So, while I worry that the show is headed in the direction of Teen Mom, I do think for now it's serving the purpose of showing teens that pregnant life won't be what they may think it is.

    Jenna & Aden—Jenna’s mom was so pretty, and her dad’s not bad-looking either, even though he kind of looks like a thumb.  How did Jenna get...so fug?  Ok, I have to call out the show for some false drama, even though I have opined in the past that this show seemed organic, I think there is such a premium put on these baby showers so that the audience can have something tangible, instead of...an online argument, but it’s not working.

    The problem is that it’s not interesting, because it’s not necessary.  A lot of women don’t have baby showers at all.  Jenna’s dad and Jenna’s mom both don’t want to be present at the same baby shower, and they are both willing to host one of their own for her, so there’s not really a conflict.  Good try, Jenna, by saying she wouldn’t know which baby shower to invite Aden’s family to, but that’s not hard—she can just invite them to her father’s baby shower, since he appears to be the custodial parent, and the one with her mom can be more intimate, if she has to have two.  

    And she doesn’t want “two of everything”?  What a problem!  Get a registry, bitch!  Jenna, you lie, your mom doesn’t want to be a part of it—you want her to be a part of it.  Does Jenna understand footage?  Her dad is so much better of a person than me.  As soon as she threatened to balk from the baby shower, and then to remove him from the baby’s life, I would go upstairs, disassemble the crib, hand her the parts, and tell her she is free to bring it with her to the place where she raises her baby, as I’m not going to be in her or her child’s life, so clearly she won’t be living here, not because I am throwing her out of the house, but because she won’t let me around her child.  I understand hormones are raging, but this bitch is so out of sorts because no one ever told her “no,” and that can be solved quickly if her dad actually loves her enough to show her where her place is.  She’s not in a position to dictate the terms of anything to her parents.  Where does she get off?

    Why doesn’t Jenna just let her dad throw the baby shower for this one, let her mom throw the shower for the second kid, her dad throw the shower for the third kid, etc, and by the time she’s 20, they’ll be even at two each?  

    I am just not biting on these storylines.  This isn’t interesting.  Last season, the drama between Max and Chloe and whose family would be able to attend the baby’s baptism was much more interesting, because there is only one first baptism.  A baby shower just doesn’t pack the same emotional punch.  

    Myrka & Ethan—I really don’t care.  I’m not sure what they’re fighting about.  The online post was only shown for a second, so I don’t know what it said, and I certainly don’t care enough to figure it out.  It all seems so unnecessary and immature, and, yeah, drama to make a show.  

    Reanna & Taron—I don’t understand why Reanna doesn’t want to share custody.  Taron seems like he would be as decent a dad as she would be a mom, so why not give up the baby half the time so you can live freely a few days a week?  I would think the other teen moms would jump at this prospect.  I think there’s something wrong with Reanna.  Not because she doesn’t want to share custody, but she just acts like she’s 10 in the way she speaks and refuses to communicate.  

    Tyra & Alex—it seems so dysfunctional that the baby moves every time there is a social shift in one of the households.  Baby is with Alex’s family, Alex’s mom’s boyfriend moves in, baby moves in with Tyra’s mom, Alex’s mom’s boyfriend leaves, baby moves back to Alex’s...holy shit.  Tyra is sounding so selfish about going to “my ami.”  If she’s not getting paid to go there, or if there’s not a scholarship contingent on it—or even if there is—who is taking care of her baby?  Unless there is a really well-designed plan in place and plenty of money to throw around for au pairs and nannies and plenty of resources to vet strangers coming into the child’s life, I don’t think the parents should be off globe-trotting when their child isn’t even in a stable home.  I would say the same thing if it was the father going off (though I might even be harder on the father, because the guys tend to be less articulate, which makes me impatient).  Speaking of “my ami,” I am really not convinced Tyra knows there is a place called “Miami”; the way she pronounces it makes me think she thinks it that everyone has their own “ami,” like it is a self-designated special place, and Tyra is going to her “ami,” thus when she speaks it is “my ami.”  Just me?  Probably.

    I feel bad for the child, I don’t feel bad for Alex.  If he’s “not a little-ass kid,” as he asserts (though I beg to challenge that assertion), then he should advocate for himself.  Until he does this, he is going to get walked over.  He should do it for his kid if not for himself. 

    Why do these people on this show—first Reanna and then Jenna’s mom—say “whenever” instead of “when”?  It sounds so trashy.  Reanna has said several times that she needs to get a Cesarian because “whenever I was younger, I had surgery,” and now Jenna’s mom is saying, “whenever I was married to Jenna’s father.”  Where did this new blight on the English language come from?  Ugh!

    Speaking of ugh, next week is Lilly.  I see the stupid and useless train is pulling into the station.  

    I used to live in the south and heard "whenever" instead of "when" for the first time in my life and so often that I made a Facebook post 10 or so years ago about how much it irritated me 😂 I truly don't understand it.

    This!  I've had to fire a few people in my career, and I still can't believe after all these years Kelli is so bad at it.  If she does her job properly, and she's already discussed the problems with the candidate two times - once to inform them of any problem(s) and the second time to tell them they are on very thin ice, or just once if they are pretty bad and then just say you get called in one more time and you're out, then it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that they are being cut.  You don't call a person in 3-4 times like Meredith last season and not cut them.  You also don't call a person in to be cut and then hem and haw around and tell them they were your favorite choice at the very beginning of auditions.  Shame on Kelli for doing that.  You maintain eye contact, you don't shuffle your papers, you get to the point and deliver the bad news then close your mouth.  DO NOT take the easy way out and tell them they should try out again next year.  If they ask, then give an honest opinion, but do not offer it.  Then cut short the pleading and/or blubbering and stand up, indicating in no uncertain terms that the meeting is over.

    If it were me, I'd change Training Camp around.  No one is cut for at least two weeks.  In those 2 weeks Kelli should be very scarce.  Come in at the beginning of class, say hi, then leave.  Let Judy have more responsibility to work with the girls at the beginning and give them a chance to get more comfortable and confident without freezing up because Kelli is there.  Judy is going to see right away if someone has the potential to make the team and be really honest with the girls whose kicks are not nearly good enough or who fall out of their turns, etc.  They might be able to avoid the drama down the road if Judy can kindly and gently get those girls to realize they don't have what it takes and drop out.   

    Kelli should never call the girls into the office after a practice unless it's for performance related reasons.  That way no one should wonder why they are being called in.  Any other announcements should be made before practice or by texting.  And does the announcement have to be in front of everyone?  And does everyone have to hang around and wait to see what the verdict is?  I, for one, would not want everyone to know.  I'm aware it's a tradition to be supportive of your teammates, but IMO that tradition needs to be retired.  Text who you want to remain behind while practice is still going on.  And anybody else needs to get their butts in their cars and get off the premises.  Ain't none of their business who's staying late to meet with Kelli.

    I think about this every time, that I wouldn't want people knowing or hanging around! I guess the thing is that they might not get to see their teammates again, but they can choose who they want to talk to and hang out with afterward if they are truly friends. The others are just nosey.

    People definitely are still upset and voicing their opinions on social media. Some are implying that Brennan was referencing race when she said the direction the team is taking.  Most agree Hannah was more ignorant and giving a bitch attitude the whole time.  Overall, most opinions reflect Brennan and Hannah got outperformed.  Saw a lot of opinion that Lily came across as unprepared and had the gull to ask if there was anything else she could do.  Many feel Lily showed her best and didn’t measure up.  Most people believe the best 36 made the team and the vets should have bowed out gracefully. 

    Ignorant about what?

  12. Honestly, as terrible as some of these head shots are, I think the squad photo is totally fine for what they had to work with. I don't care that the photoshopping isn't the best. It's totally fine to most people's eyes, and at least it was done safely.

    Erin's was definitely up there for me, but I actually didn't love Jessica's. Nothing wrong with it, I just feel like her eyes are slightly vacant. Smize girl!

    She's vacant in general, and I don't think it's necessarily a good photo of her, but she's beautiful to start with, so she was one of the lucky ones. 

  14. Lots to say, but ....

    Kelly's hair from.the back. Eek!

    And I am trying to like Alora-Rose,but I'm really struggling to.get there. She just looks dirty. Like, unclean. I don't like her complexion or the texture of her hair (ironically, she is a Monat rep). And her personality just comes off so... put on,I guess. 

     

    Also, I've been vocal about not caring for Lily's look in the past (the underbite), but that all went out the window for me tonight. I loved her in her cut scene. And as someone else said, she would've made a stunning brunette.
