My aunt accidentally dropped a birthday cake upside down on the kitchen floor, she scooped it back up and served it anyway. I couldn't bring my self to eat any frosting but I had a bite from the inside of my boyfriends piece. Everyone else ate it normally, ew. The funniest part though was when my aunt asked her granddaughter what birthday cake she wanted a few years later. She described the cake she wanted, in detail, and ended with "then drop it on the kitchen floor, grandma!" I'm more grossed out by the spittle that lands on the cake from blowing out frosting, I would get behind some changes made to that tradition for sure, for some reason face on cake doesn't seem as gross, unless there is hair...then all bets are off. Its so interesting to see so many different opinions on cake face, btw. I had no idea that was going to be such a popular topic.

My intended point, a bit of snow or cake on a kids face is just not that big of deal, is it?

Edit: Someone already said it.

There seems to be a lot of focus on Butch and the cake frosting but no previous mentions of Cate doing the same with the snow. The show even chose to end their "heartwarming" segment with a still of the snow on Nova's face, smiling. I'm really curious what the difference was between cake face and snow face.

"If you're a performer wondering how to take your talent to the world and maintain your focus on God, SHINE makes it possible." Apologies to those that are honestly religious, buts what's up with all of this weird segregation. "Acting for Jesus"? Is that really necessary? Just act...if you can't figure out how to be Christian and act that seems like a problem a conference is not going to be able to solve. Why not find a job that works with your faith rather than go to this thing to learn ways to pretend you aren't "sinful"? Deborah is one of those annoying people that think being a Christian means you can do anything you want as long as you loudly proclaim how Christian you are while doing it. My MIL loves to yell really loud about how she isn't Really celebrating a birthday/holiday at Every birthday/holiday party because she is a Jehovas Witness. They seem to think their God only reads the transcripts. Farrah's prayer was laughable too. It sounded more like a book report on what she did that day until she stumbled over her words trying to tack on the "keep Sophia safe" part at the end like the absolute afterthought it was. Is there a "Porn for Jesus" conference for Farrah to attend? Is it just a matter of adding a few extra "Oh God!"s ?

I thought the same thing till I mentioned it to my boyfriend and he immediately said he wouldn't want to smell other peoples poop in his own home either. That wasn't something that I thought of before and I could see the film crew hating her enough to save up and spite shit in her bathroom every day. Yes, spite shitting is a thing, I don't go downtown anymore because our homeless activists have implemented spite shitting on busy downtown sidewalks to protest not being able to sleep anywhere they want. Its just cake though, I guess I just don't get it. At the end of the episode when C&T take Nova outside they shove snow in her face as well, the camera freezes on the snow left on her lips and nose just like the frosting was. Is it just the fact that Butch did it? If Cate had been the one to push her face into the frosting would it have been ok?

Is pushing a child's head into her birthday cake really that big of a deal? My father did that to me most childhood birthdays, he is a garbage human and did a lot of awful things but I would have never thought to add that to the list. It actually was one of my more pleasant memories, I liked the attention.

Yikes, the way Farrah and Deb talk to Sophia is so shitty and impersonal. That whole video was so bizarre. Who was filming? Why did they make Sophia drive to the party alone and spend all that time filming her walking from the car and going up the elevator? Why didn't any of the guests hug and greet her with happy birthday wishes when she arrived? Why did Farrah just shove her at the cake as soon as they got there and make her start taking pictures with it? I think even Janelle seems more engaged with Jace than Farrah ever has with Sophia. It was all so awful, it was just some event full of unknown people that had to be endured and photos instagrammed for sponsers rather than a gathering of loved ones celebrating a birthday. I don't think we have ever seen Farrah interact with Sophia without some sort of agenda.

Jen, Ryan's mom, seems so very G Rated and I'm sure she expects Ryan to be at least PG-13 at home in her presence. I have a feeling that Ryan could not wait to "grow up" and get out of the house and party whenever he wanted and not have to censor himself. Maci and Bentley threw a monkey wrench into his plans and I don't think he's ever really "forgiven" them for it. Ryan obviously was never on board with having a child and when he was faced with making a home and family with Maci and Bentley, Ryan realized that would throttle back his party time and force him to be a G Rated parent 24/7 and that was absolutely not something he was going to let Maci or his own son force him to do yet. It was apparent a few episodes ago when Ryan exclaimed sarcastically while flying paper planes (or something like that) alone with Bentley what wholesome fun they were having. Ryan might come around someday, when he feels Bentley is old enough to party with and he can be the "cool dad" but that will really be too little, too late. Luckily Bentley has Larry for a male role model, he seems to be an okay man to emulate.

Prisons sometimes have work programs or other situations that may have allowed Butch to regularly go outdoors. Another possibly is the 'just out of jail' scene was refilmed for TM after Butch had already been out for a few weeks and working building fences outside.

Remember when Farrah took Sophia to the pet store and repeatedly asked her if she wanted a fish or a dog? Sophia said fish each time she asked and Farrah went ahead and bought a dog anyway because that's what the answer was supposed to be. Sophia does not factor into anything Farrah does or any of her decisions. I have never seen Farrah have a normal human interaction with her daughter, just talking baby voices At her, not having a conversation With her. Farrah seems to think of Sophia as a particularly high maintenance house plant. I think of kids like Sophia when people are dismissive of adults that claim their shitty childhoods are partially to blame for for their character faults. At what age will Sophia be expected to automatically and fully recover from her feral upbringing and assume full blame for all her decisions? 18? She won't be ready for that.

My (step)mother is from Indiana and I lived there during a few of my high school years (it was awful, it don't recommend it) and I even spent time with my (step)grandparents and cousin that lived in the Anderson/Pendleton area. For the most part Indiana is the most boring parts of the South and the Midwest mixed together with lots of corn. We lived in the snobby, upper-class suburb of Carmel and it took about 50 minutes to get to grandma's house in Anderson. Long story short, I could see Amber moving to Carmel as soon as she had the money. High school football is important in that area and it was a constant source of irritation to other schools that the stuck-up rich kids from Carmel were always winning the state championships. I could see Amber, who seems to have never matured beyond high school, thinking that having that zip code was some kind of status symbol regardless of how far away it puts her from her child.

Farrah was mentioned on another show, Superstore, in an episode I watched last night. It's a show about the workers in a WAL MART type store, I'm not a fan of the interactions between the lead male and female characters but the rest of their co-workers and customers are usually funny. Anyway, a pregnant, young co-worker is trying on dresses with her wannabe-rapper boyfriend in the wedding department and she proclaims her chosen dress is from the Farrah Abraham collection.

Farrah actually won an AVN award for "best marketing campaign" for Backdoor Teen Mom, they don't give out marketing awards for a "leaked sex tape," it was a porn, period. Why does everyone keep letting her lie about something so painfully obvious? Everyone that indulges her in her endless lies is partially responsible for the horrible trash-person she is.

I actually got a different feeling from Tyler when he was asking both his mom and therapist if they thought Nova was gone too often, he seemed to be trying too hard to ask innocently and act shocked by their responses. It seemed very manipulative to me like he had those thoughts already and wanted to enlist others in trying to shame Cate for it in a way that wouldn't make it look like it was his idea. Trouble is, he is just as responsible for Nova and where she spends the night as Cate is.

I doubt Cate or Tyler were ever taken to a baby music class or Gymboree. It takes a lot of thought, effort, and commitment to raise your children better than you were raised and I don't think either of them have enough distance from their own poor upbringing or the maturity to be able to do that for Nova.

I could have sworn I read something here that came from his Twitter about him buying a house in New Orleans and training with some older guy to be an actor, am I mistaken?

I think you guys are on to something here, was it here that I read about the book Matt wrote about child abuse or molestation? His girlfriend at the time worked with abused or molested children or something and Matt claimed to have also gone through that in his childhood and wrote a book under a pseudonym about a child in a similar situation to work through his feelings. I can't seem to find this information again, not sure where I saw it now. Does he find out his victim's sob stories and use them to make up stories about himself to start their "bond?" Ew, gross.

The adult child I know that lives with his hoarder parents tries to use this as an excuse too, "Oh, my mom will yell at me if I clean stuff so I don't clean." Problem is, he does things all the time that he knows will cause his mom to yell at him because they are things he wants to do and he suffers the consequences willingly. He is simply too lazy to clean and uses his moms complaining as an excuse not to do it. Those two kids were old enough to clean their own room and deal with their mom's issues about it later, they just didn't want to bad enough. I have heard every hoarder excuse in the book and absolutely do not have the patience for any of them. At all.

I understand the unusual circumstances, but this is why I was also just a little bit disappointed that Brandon and Theresa decided only certain family members were allowed to meet Carly at the wedding. They chose to attend with her and I think its kind of rude to make your own rules at someone else's wedding about who is allowed to talk to you or your family, isn't it? If it's about safety then should all of the parents of children at C&T's wedding have a right to tell Tyler that his dad is not allowed to talk to their family at the reception either? I don't know, seems complicated.

If they say they weren't shunned does that mean they made their children create cards and took them to someone's empty house and pretended to be ignored by a birthday party full of relatives? I mean, it was a weird scene anyway, but they just made it up for MTV and none of the camera people or producers noticed it was a completely empty house?

I didn't see this but I have noticed a lot of other amusingly subtle editing choices. A few episodes back when Farrah was at the petting zoo she made a comment regarding the goats giant balls and there was a very quick edit to a shot of her face, eyes darting downward to about the level of goat balls then kind of flashing a creepy approving smile. I rewound that one twice and gave it a round of applause afterward.

I grew up in Hawaii, spent the majority of my childhood in the water and was even once given a good talking-to by the police for jumping off the rock at Waimea bay at midnight on a full moon. I have no problems doing dumb things in the water and always had a hard time understanding why they were so scared in other challenges where they merely drop into water (like the trivia one,) but I think this challenge would have been kind of rough for me. I found myself getting really anxious along with Jenna and I'm pretty sure I would have bailed seeing how long they had to wait in each of the tiny chambers filled with stale, humid air while not really knowing what was happening because everyone else was dq'ing.

Hey Irritable, I keep my cat's litter pans right inside the guest bathtub, its out of the way and it keeps the mess and smell somewhat contained. Since your cat already seems to prefer going there maybe you can put a small secondary litter box in there for him?

I have to bring up the topic of Butch's long, curly mane of hair once again to let y'all know about a term I learned recently that would apply, its called "prison hair." Apparently when doing a long stretch in prison without access to heat styling tools, hair dyes and other damaging products many inmates leave with their hair longer and in much better condition than going in. "Jail hair," however, is a completely different term and seemed to indicate roots grown out past the acceptable length or the lack of a proper cut. Conditions more common to those doing a short period of time in incarceration.
