I'm convinced that English accent was faked.

Jenelle: You drink at weird times of the day as well. Like you'll drink in the middle of the day. Nathan: When did I ever drink in the middle of the day besides that one time-- Jenelle: Today. Takes a real winner to make Jenelle sound like the Einstein of the conversation.

What I'm saying is if Derek wouldn't/couldn't find a job for himself, I don't see why her next resort was going to the homeless shelter when a very clear alternative is that Jordan could try getting a job herself and have Derek stay home and watch the baby while being unemployed. In fact, that'd be pretty good motivation for him to actually go on the job hunt himself.

I strongly disagree that Jordan "is one of the most likable girls to come through this franchise." I was frustrated with her the entire episode. Her parents kicked her bf out, not her. It's fine and dandy to opt for being homeless and following around your bf, but that's not such a wise choice when you're pregnant and have an unborn child to think about too. She could have kept living at her parents' but still be with and see Derek. And then all this business about Derek "looking for a job"? Sugar (agree with the posters above that SHE is one of the best things to come out of this show!) was the one keeping it real and laying it down that Derek needed to be a man and search (so did Tracy). But Jordan? She would just meekly ask him "so are you going to look for a job? hello? so are you going to help me?" and never seemed to push back much or lay down real consequences when he kept playing video games or looking at his phone. Jordan needs to grow a backbone for her daughter's sake. I also wasn't a fan of Jordan saying that other than Derek getting a job, her option was going to a homeless shelter. No mention of trying to get a job herself? I don't know, maybe the editing was wonky (wonky editing and MTV?! never!!) but I was hoping to see Jordan be more assertive and independent, and never got any sense that she was anything other than an extremely passive, meek girl.
