I agree. Supervised visits with Jen and maybe even Maci are the way to go. Ryan still has his eyes popped out in many of his scenes, so I do wonder a lot is he's still using. Maybe nothing like how it was before rehab but still enough that Maci is totally being reasonable in being concerned. Sure, Maci may have known Ryan went to rehab years ago. But heroin? I don't see how Ryan could be abusing heroin for so long and not be dead by now. My guess is that in 2012 maybe he was into pain meds or something and eventually moved on to heroin and that's when things really started going downhill for him. Either drug is a valid concern for Maci and having him around Bentley. I think Ryan's attorney has seen this play out time and again in different families and he knew well and good that Ryan may not pass a drug test. No sense in wasting the judge and everyone else's time. Ryan is acting entitled and wants to blame Maci, but he's the one who just got out of rehab after driving high out of his mind on national TV.

Agree with you there. Bri and Javi would probably make a good couple. Javi would fit in well with Bri's family. And having sex with strangers just something people in their early 20s do (her real problem wasn't the one night stand, it was having unprotected sex).

Agreed. I was pretty proud of Chelsea because she had the mom-death-stare DOWN. She was right to not make Aubrey have to relive the thing or try and make it seem like Aubrey mistreats animals intentionally. She got her privileges taken away because she was too excited around the pets. Done.

Weirdly one of the sweetest things I saw (other than Isaac), was how comfortable Aubree is now with Cole. She is totally starting to tease him and it's nice because it says that he's no stranger to her. He should watch it though because he could totally end up being the pushover parent.

Gracie was being so rude to Leah in the car, but a part of me also feels glee that a 7 year old is calling out Leah's expository bullshit about her love of college. So IDK if calling out bullshit is more important than teaching a kid manners...

I agree. It's easy from the outside to say why doesn't someone in love with an addict just do X thing, but it's not always clear. I think Mac is starstruck for sure, but I also think given that she's a teen mom herself it's possible she isn't someone who thinks about things in the long term and doesn't have the skills to handle complex situations. My stepfather is an alcoholic, and my mom handled it terribly growing up. Did she love me and want to do the right thing theoretically? Yes, but when you're living that life, maintaining a facade of "normalcy" is part of the disease.

The Simon/Farrah relationship is actually seeming more and more genuine (which is weird but...). Miami is a four hour drive from Key West, and yes you can take flights but they are expensive. I think he actually likes Farrah despite himself and they are for sure friends with benefits. I doubt they'll have a proper relationship till after the show is over. The Doctor is a total asshole. I would be acting like Farrah too if I walked by and said 'hello' to someone and they just mumbled back in return. If he had such a problem, why doesn't he get his own damn hotel room with Deb and call it a day? Because he wants to be on camera, and probably got a free trip out of it. I have no sympathy for him. Rhine and Mac are a sad case. There are some complicated dynamics there, and I think Mac loves that she's dating someone famous but it's possible she'd be with him either way. I think she enjoys being the mother figure in a relationship and having the drama of it all. Rhine basically married a young Jen. If he ever gets his shit together I doubt that relationship will last long because who wants to marry their mother? /Freud Amber is getting closer every day to finally dumping Matt, I really wish she could just admit it to herself. FWIW Farrah was the only fucking one who told her to drop him ages ago. I hate having to defend Farrah, who treats crew members like shit, but she was right.

In addition to the creepiness of Matt keeping Amber's license, anyone else pick up on how he also handed her the keys like she was his teen daughter who can't be trusted with the keys overnight? Not only that, I noticed that he handed her ONLY the car keys, nothing else on that keychain. So he didn't let her have his full set of keys with the house on them etc. So he'll have to let her in the house when she gets back and she'll be dependent on him to let her back in. Shit.

I liked that Dawn was subtly trying to advice Tyler and Cate to help/volunteer at an already existing charity instead of starting their own "foundation" and Tyler basically bulldozes right by that advice. It's so egotistical to want to start a charity on your own when you have no fucking idea what you're doing and it's basically just a vanity project for them. Bill & Melinda Gates they are not. I think it was interesting that Maci mentioned to her friend that once the cameras were gone they started drinking and going crazy. I never really thought Maci had a drinking problem, but that convinced me there may be something to that theory. No one told her to have 2 kids in the span of 3 years or whatever the time frame was. That's extremely stressful and it's no wonder that they are snippy with each other.

It seems like these dumbos don't know how to apply for a passport even if they qualified for one. Remember Jeremy being terrified of the girlses going out of the country? Their worlds are so small I'm surprised they even could summon up the bravery to make it to Puerto Rico on a trip MTV planned for them.

Deb was such a raging bitch about the nanny. It's really hurtful to say that about someone who isn't really even a full fledged "character" on this show and is sort of on TV incidentally not because she necessarily wanted to be on TV. Good luck finding another good baby sitter, Farrah!

Deb's doctor friend was acting so odd during the dinner, and it takes a lot to look odd in front of Farrah. Why no wonder she hates him, he was basically laughing at them the entire time. He's a weirdo and I think he enjoys being on TV way too much. He's like Debb's version of Matt. It's just so gross and I think he was a teen mom fan who weasled his way to Deb and is hyper aware of the cameras. Amber needs to trust her gut. It's crazy that her masseuse and the producer were the only two women around her she felt she could talk to. I think she's desperate to have outside contact and for someone she trusts to help guide to to breaking up with Matt. Even the girl in the bridal shop seemed like she picked up on Amber having serious doubts about getting married.

Pure speculation, but I think he was seriously injured after the crash, but refused treatment. So by the time the doctors got to him, they gave him an MRI that said he may have had a concussion, but certainly something like whiplash and cleared him for pain medications and that's his actual problem. Could be a mix of both a brain injury and opiods. I'm surprised whoever was with him let him leave the accident scene without medical treatment. Even if he didn't want to pay for an ambulance, they should have taken him to the emergency room.

When Farrah and Deb were having the housing talk, Farrah said that when she visits her mom she's expected to stay at a hotel/rent a car. If she's not lying, then Deb was doing her classic gaslighting thing she does and makes it sound like she has no idea what Farrah is talking about and why she'd be expected to stay somewhere else. Jen & Larry aren't going to be happy with all the shittalking Maci's doing that she's not willing to say to their face. I think she likes using the camera because she knows that they don't have a chance to respond or defend themselves till next season. It's a little bit of manipulation that Maci does I think because she wants Bentley with her instead of the grandparents. I think she takes them for granted sometimes.

Jenelle's hair looks more pink to me like Amber's hair. Chelseas is a dark red.
