Hedgehog2022 December 14, 2022 Share December 14, 2022 15 hours ago, Andyourlittledog2 said: I don't know what to do with this last episode. I am left with indelible images that either disturb or puzzle or annoy me. Cheyenne inviting every teen mom plus significant other from all seasons of Teen Mom but specifically telling Ashley she isn't welcome was so Cheyenne. It is her wedding so sure, but it smacks of the treatment she gave Mackenzie when she got all the other cast members to shun her and refuse filming with her. It just rankles. All of these women have serious issues and feud with each other from time to time but Cheyenne seems to think she is HBIC. Cheyenne is the family princess (for now) and the amount of fawning over her done during this whole wedding was kind of silly. Not as silly as the bride and groom's table at the reception. Four gazillion candles and flowers on around and below a raised dais. But watch out, little Ryder is getting her princess on because she marched right up to her aunt's giving a reception toast and demanded the mic right now! These are her parents and she will be giving any toasts, thank you very much! Diva starts early in that family. Still can't stand Brianna. Hurricane apparently didn't hurt her but she missed the wedding. Good. Moving on. Ashley starts her accelerated nursing program and gets hit by a drunk driver with Bar and Holly in the car (no fault of theirs as far as we know/drunk driver's responsibility). When Bar tries to pick up their things from the totaled car at the impound he is arrested as a fugitive from justice for leaving California with a failure to appear charge on him. As of the end of the episode Ashley is quietly pissed and Bar is locked up waiting to see if California decides to extradite him or not. If they don't, he'll be released in 14 days. I do not know what actually happened next. MTV does let us know that the original charge stemmed from that grad party Ashley had where Bar got more and more drunk and wound up shooting a gun and got arrested for it. Ashley has a life plan and Bar is not going to ruin it although as a mom with a husband in jail (again) her road is harder than it needs to be. I feel bad for her. Youth picked a boy that adulthood is not living easy with. It happens and it sucks. Speaking of locked up, after the wedding Zach is sentenced to 120 days in jail (most of which he has already done long ago so he just has to do a little more time but we know he only was there a day before they released him). MTV does not explain any of this, just leaves us with him showing up to jail and noting that he was sentenced to 120 days, leaving the audience with the impression that he would be locked up for months. Not cool, MTV. Leah and Jaylan have a post vacation talk and their complete lack of chemistry could not be more on display. Whatever is going on here, it's not true love. Leah is dating a black man and suddenly she is dying her hair black. Does anyone else think that's weird? She's blonde has always been blonde but suddenly now she's a very dark brunette. When they break up do you think she'll dye it back to blonde? This weirds me out for some reason. YMMV Did anything else actually happen? I zoned out during the interminable wedding crap. ETA: Oh, and Gary said that Kristina couldn't attend the wedding because the kids have school and they don't have anyone they trust to babysit for them. Also, Amber was home but didn't come. Make of that statement what you will. After the ceremony itself, while Cheyenne and Zach were on the altar, they were treated to the bridesmaids suddenly reappearing and doing some kind of African drum dance for them. It was interesting. I am not sure what I think about it because my view is slanted because it's Cheyenne and her OTT it's all about me and my fabulous selfness puts me off. If it had been done for anyone else I think I might have appreciated it more. Again, YMMV So spot on about Queen Cheyenne...Oy vey!!! That gown was just too much. Actually it looked like a gown that Frederick's of Hollywood might put in their catalogue. Her implants look ridiculous...just way too much much for a woman of her height. And OMG...Ryder demanding the microphone from her aunt (whose breasts were almost spilling out of her gown) was really fortelling of what is in store for Cheyenne and Zach down the road. She was so out of control. All in all an over the top celebration that I had to fast forward through. 2 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7791960

Cheyenne is a pretty girl but she didn't even look like herself (facially) with all the lashes and dark make up. I think her father is where she gets her spotlight-mustbe-onME only from. The bridesmaid dresses were also kind of bizarre with the slits up to wherever that could not be walked in ( let alone danced in) gracefully.

Andyourlittledog2 December 15, 2022 Share December 15, 2022 All this wedding overkill with Cheyenne reminded me of a recent letter to an advice columnist a couple weeks ago. It was so OTT that I wanted to share it with you: "My fiance and I are planning our wedding. As the bride, I’m planning on making certain requests of my guests, to make sure that my special day is as perfect as possible. For example, I’m asking that my guests wear exclusively yellow at the ceremony. My fiance has been supportive, but he angrily rejected my other request: that our guests remain silent throughout both the ceremony and reception (to ensure that the focus remains on us). My fiance said that this is irrational. He does not want to have a silent wedding. I know it’s uncommon. I’ve never heard of anyone else having one, but we’ve had them in my family. The guests are not permitted to speak at all during the ceremony, and the only toasts allowed are from the mothers of the bride and groom. Instrumental music will be playing quietly. During the reception, the guests may whisper among one another, but may not speak aloud. As the newly married couple, our focus should remain solely on each other rather than on any rowdy guests. I know it’s a lot to ask, but I feel I should have the wedding I want, so that the start of our life together will be perfect. I want him to support me, even if we disagree on something. Is my fiance’s lack of understanding and support a red flag? — Silence is Golden" I especially liked the idea that her fiance's thinking this is irrational might be 'a red flag'. The only red flags I see are on the bride's side. This guy should run. It set me to wondering, are young women just going completely insane over their 'special day' more now that they are constantly exposed to instagram, etc and celebrity celebrations? It seemed like Cheyenne was way over that line. Is this a thing now? It doesn't seem to be about joining a couple and two families in marriage it seems to be about being the perfect photoshoot and outdoing everyone else. I guess you could say Cheyenne's wedding kind of triggered something in me. 5 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7792763

Ugh, these grown ass women getting their butts kissed by MTV and Dr Drew just makes me want to rage. Starts out with all the moms on stage along with Jade's giant boobs hanging out there for the world to marvel at. Seriously, they needed their own chair. I fully expect they will have their own take on the season. Anyway, Briana is so upset by the fact that Ashley is present that she won't be on stage with her. Ashley for her part has no problem whatsoever taking her spot. I loathe Brianna so I am perfectly fine with this decision. I don't care at all who did what to whom during the Family Vacation taping and will never watch that crap but unless Ashley legit murdered Roxanne I don't care. Boss up and own your place and stop crying and whining like a little baby that you don't feel 'comfortable' and 'safe' on the soundstage etc. You are a grown ass woman acting like a thirteen year old afraid of the mean girls. All these women are so stunted by their time with MTV. They may as well be raising their children while still in middle school.

Hedgehog2022 December 21, 2022 Share December 21, 2022 I'm hoping by the time these TM's turn 30 that MTV has moved on from them and stopped filming. It's enough already. As far as Devoin is concerned...I coud barely understand what he was saying. I don't remember him being so incoherent. He seems very defensive and angry...for a guy who has stopped seeing his kid and is broke from gambling and god knows what else, you'd think he'd be a little humble and less aggressive. If anyone should be pissed off it should be Nova. Her deadbeat Dad clearly puts her last on his list of important things in her life. Say what you will about Brianna... and there are plenty of negative things to say...she is a good mom who puts her kids first and provides for them. Her two baby daddies don't even see their kids let alone even try to co-parent with her. Jade's massive boobage was vulgar. She looked so trashy and cheap. All that cosmetic surgery and all the pain she endured was a waste of money and time. Like all of these TM's, the first thing she did when she came into some MTV money was to go to Florida and get a butt job. Along with the obligatory luxury car and handbags.

He would not stop trying to get Leah to spill the tea about why she and Jaylan broke up. None of your effing business, buddy. Drop it. The most logical reason I've heard is very personal to Jaylon and Dr Drew damn well knows it. But his 'is it bigger than a breadbox?' series of questions was unquestionably designed to give the viewers only one reason to fall on. And I hate him for it. It was the most hateful thing I've ever seen on this crapfest of a show and that's saying something. Leah kept trying to defer his questions but without actually answering them directly she played right into Drew's trap. What could Jaylan possibly be hiding that is not his fault, only his to say, that doesn't stop Leah and her girls from loving him and wanting to see him, etc? What secret could Jaylan possibly be hiding? Dr Drew is a complete asshole. And Drew says, 'I think I understand now and it makes me very emotional.' Why don't you rent a billboard, jerk. And yet he still kept talking about Jaylan someday feeling like he can 'share' and it will all make sense.

Andyourlittledog2 December 28, 2022 Share December 28, 2022 cont'g Tyler and Cate: Dr Drew loves to talk to them. All that adoption and substance abuse to dig into. You can see his eyes light up when they bring out those two. Ashley and Bar: Bar and his mom are at it again. He sees no reconciliation in their future. Shen is gonna Shen. Ashley sees years of school ahead of her and Bar actually did rehab this time. And she has no interest in being with the other girls anymore. I think these two are not going to be on any fake facetime calls to get 'advice' about anything any time soon. Amber and Gary; Amber is 'depressed' and doesn't want to talk about 'it'. It being the custody decision. So Dr Drew zeroes in on it like a heat seeking laser. She is pissed and full of righteous depressed indignation about how the legal system didn't work right for her. Dr Drew tried to explain that family court has different rules but Amber just kept saying 'I don't give a damn' and so that went no where. For someone who wants Family Court judges to make favorable rulings for her she seems determined to put on the worst face forward she can. And nothing says says ready to parent full time like a depressed angry hostile whining woman who trashes the family court judge's rulings on national television. Amber says she is depressed and that is probably true but she also seemed very medicated. I guess it may look the same but it's Amber so they may have had to use a tranquilizer dart at some point before she came on stage. On a lighter note, Gary looks great! He has lost a ton of weight.

Polliwollidoodle December 28, 2022 Share December 28, 2022 I too thought Amber was almost at a new low. I did agree with Dr D that she was not being clear. I mean, she should understand she is going to be asked some questions and at least if she doesn't want to talk about it, then have a good deflection or something. I agree Gary looked really good. (though- can I be superficial? I get that he's a very low key and casual guy but what's with wearing the baseball hat backwards to an indoor studio?) I still feel bad for Caitlyn and Tyler. They are doing as good as one could hope- which is really pretty good. They were each dealth such a bad lot with their families and the crap they grew up around. They do seem to say what is expected for them to say almost like they are programmed, but at least they have something positive to model. I also was impressed with Ashley and Bar, well more impressed with Ashley. I think she may be the only one on any of these Teen Mom series who is legitimately seeking to better herself with an actual profession. I know others have had their "business" (hello Farrah, hello Maci, hello Caitly, so many to name- even Kale) but Ashley is going to a real school to study for a real career where she will be employed and have excellent employment opportunities. I hope Bar stays clean. I did not know about Ashley's father. She was so impressive to me. I was even somewhat impressed wtih Briana when she said she reacted and was regretful for that - and she felt that way again and had to remove herself. I thought at least it showed some signs of maturity. Maybe some of them do grow up. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7806182
TooMuchRealityTV December 28, 2022 Share December 28, 2022 I felt somewhat for Leah, because in her case she wasn't talking because she wasn't going to divulge another person's intimate secrets. Although, it kind of sounded like she hinted at what the secret is, when she went on and on about society being a factor in him not wanting his secret divulged. I didn't feel as much for Amber. I will be honest I've never really been a fan. That has not changed. I get she is upset she lost custody, but yes, her mental illness factors in the care of 4 year old child. Family court is supposed to be about the best interest of the child. So I could see a judge being interested in Amber's sometimes inability to get out of bed. Her attitude towards being asked about her life was just unacceptable. This is her job, at least have a short response preplanned about what happened, and then point out that she is still upset about about the matter and not ready to give any more insight. 59 minutes ago, Polliwollidoodle said: I also was impressed with Ashley and Bar, well more impressed with Ashley. I think she may be the only one on any of these Teen Mom series who is legitimately seeking to better herself with an actual profession. I know others have had their "business" (hello Farrah, hello Maci, hello Caitly, so many to name- even Kale) but Ashley is going to a real school to study for a real career where she will be employed and have excellent employment opportunities. I hope Bar stays clean. I did not know about Ashley's father. She was so impressive to me. I have issues with both Ashley and Bar, but I do respect that Ashley seems to be setting herself up for a decent future. She can always use a nursing degree if her teen mom career dries up, and she had to close her hair salon. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7806214

Hedgehog2022 December 28, 2022 Share December 28, 2022 As bad as Dr. Drew is Nessa is worse. Both are nauseatingly awful. Amber looked high. Her entitlement and privelege was on full display. The judge is to blame for all her problems...no ownership of her violent anger issues that keep popping up with every "love" relationship that she has. She was rude to Dr. Drew and normally I would be laughing at someone giving Drew a hard time but in this case not so much. You're getting paid to sit there and answer a few questions...not to be vague, rude and non responsive. Was Leah implying that Jaylen might be bisexual? That's what I was getting from her comments. But who knows...she signed an NDA so she and her girls could still live in the house so we'll never know what this is all about for some years to come. Tyler and Cate...I just don't understand why they think they should have access to Carly whenever they want and then get their panties in a twist when Teresa and Brandon aren't as enthusiatic about frequent get togethers. I don't believe for a minute that Nova was hysterical crying about not seeing "her sister" when she was picked up at school. Honestly, these two make a good case for not having "open" adoptions. I have some empathy for Brianna's struggles with Devoin. He was pretty good for awhile and seemed to be developing a healthy relationship with his daughter. But his addictive behaviors came into play again and of course, his daughter was not his priority. It's sad but Brianna needs to move on from these baby daddies and lower her expectations. She should focus on her kids and her mental health and accept the things that she cannot change. No more whining. What did Ashley mean about "more education...more, more more"... Nursing school does not mean years and years of education. I guess her paychecks from MTV are paying for all of this "education". I, for one, will not be watching the Teen Mom Family Reunion...looks like a hot mess. 4 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7806519

Nursing school does not mean years and years of education. I guess her paychecks from MTV are paying for all of this "education". It depends on what education she has already had. She has said that her ultimate goal is to become a physician's assistant or nurse practitioner. Either of those is a lot more than just a basic assoicates degree in nursing and will take years to achieve. The lowest level of nursing is very labor intensive and nurses get hurt and wear out. Going for a higher degree can get you promoted into management levels when the day to day becomes too strenuous. Good for her for thinking ahead to her entire future and not just whatever will get her a job sooner. As long as she can afford to do so she should get as far toward her goals as she can. Life has a way of interfering anyway but if you don't have goals and a plan it is much easier to get lost in the lifenow trees and completely lose track of the forest. I would hate for Ashley to wind up like these other Teen Mom slackers and simply rely on her Instagram and Cameos etc (or god forbid OnlyFans) for income to support herself once Teen Mom bites the dust. 5 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7806720

Amber has never been a parent, has spent most of her life on her couch, and now won't even speak at the reunion. So what is the point of putting her in front of the dwindling number of TM watchers?

Tatum January 18, 2023 Share January 18, 2023 I just finished watching seasons 1-4 of Teen Mom. I tried to watch Teen Mom 2 but I just couldn't do it. It was either boring or too annoying. It's interesting looking at the moms now vs then. Amber is most consistent in that she was a complete garbage human being at all times, and incredibly lazy. And delusional. I never saw her do or say one nice thing in 4 seasons. And it was always someone else's fault whenever she did something terrible. She had zero qualms about using Leah to hurt Gary either. She just sucks. Farrah had flashes of being a normal human being from time to time, although it would take nothing to set her off. Her parents could ask her to pass the salt at dinner and she'd start screeching. But sometimes she seemed legitimately loving towards Sophia. I liked how Farrah would always talk to her when she was a baby, as though Sophia and Farrah were having a regular conversation. I did snicker though when Farrah says she has to meet with "her" lawyer, who is actually the Chief Deputy in charge of civil litigation (ie domestic battery and custody disputes). I thought he seemed pretty unprofessional at times and also referred to himself as Farrah's lawyer on the phone to someone and I am 99% sure he was trying to get into her pants, which, ew. Cate and Maci are both more interesting in how they changed over the years. For Maci, it was super gradual. I'd argue in the first season of TM, she's really...kind of cool, honestly. At 18, she is way more mature than she appears in any subsequent season. Season 2, she is still mostly normal, with occasional flashes of pettiness towards Ryan, and she's clearly full of shit about school being a priority at that point, but for a 19 year old, totally understandable. But seasons 3 and 4- it's like she's regressing majorly. Her rage at Ryan is pretty clear, and it manifests itself in various spiteful and immature mind games, particularly towards the end of season 4,the last before the start of OG. I think she became less likeable each season, which is really too bad. I thought she was just stunted, but I think that's untrue- she was actually getting less mature each season. Cate on the other hand- I felt SO sorry for her the entire 4 seasons. She was such a nice person and it just seemed like she was always getting shit on, either by her mother, Butch, or sometimes even Tyler. April was really shitty to her on multiple occasions for no reason. But I think during the break between the original show and OG, she really kind of turned into an asshole. If Maci's likeability gradually ebbed away, Cate's pretty much dropped off a cliff during the break. One thing that I forgot- all three of these kids (yes, even Sophia) were freaking adorable during the original run. I just wanted to reach in the screen and hug them. 6 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7833001
Scarlett45 January 28, 2023 Share January 28, 2023 @Tatum I think of all the women profiled on this show, Maci and Kailyn were hurt the worst. I don’t think either are stupid, and while Maci had good family support, I do think Kailyn had IQ and drive. If the show hadn’t been a “thing” and they would’ve just had 1-2 seasons to get a financial safety net I think both would’ve finished some kind of educational program and gotten a decent job because they would’ve had to. Maci would be resentful of Ryan, but she would’ve met a guy at work or out and about and married him, without the “ego” of celebrity getting in the way. Kailyn would’ve treated Jo’s family better because she would’ve needed the free childcare for Issac. She may still have married and divorced Javi, but she could not afford to piss him off in the shady way she did, (hooking up with Chris while they were still married etc) I also think she would’ve been too busy working to have more than the first two kids. 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7845861

Agree with you on Kailyn, not 100% sure on Maci. I will give Maci a pass on her first year of community college. Trying to manage going to school and dealing with a baby largely on her own would have taken extreme discipline and was obviously an adjustment. But by season 2, it's abundantly clear she really has no interest in school, and was far more interested in locking down a husband than focusing on classes. She was taking the most basic of college generals (the show zoomed in on her transcripts a couple times) and failing them, largely because she looked for every excuse in the book to skip class. And who can forget Maci, at 19 freakin' years old, asking Kyle to consider having a baby with her. Now in fairness, by season 2, between speaking gigs at schools and TM paycheck, she was probably pulling in $30-$50K a year. Had that ancillary income not been there, would she have been at least remotely invested in obtaining a degree and meaningful employment? I guess we will never know, but Maci has never shown a shred of interest or ambition in anything other than promoting herself as #girlbossing without really doing anything that actually resembles work. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7846644

I don’t think Maci’s parents would’ve been as generous as Randy was (Randy had more disposable income).

I would say Maci was the most responsible the first season of the show (mainly focusing on Bentley, not going out much, trying to save money), and she makes multiple references to her parents always being on her ass about something (she says it more nicely than this), and I am thinking, geez Sharon, back off, she's doing her best and she's really not doing badly overall. I think the arrangement was Maci and Bentley could live with them for free, but Maci had to pay for all of Bentley's needs (food and diapers), and Maci was also responsible for Bentley at all times. There was none of this leaving Bentley with her parents night after night so she could go out. Sharon also was capable of giving it to Maci pretty straight whenever Maci would complain to her about something Ryan or school related. I agree she would have worked a job if necessary, but I don't think she would have worked a traditional job one minute longer than necessary- I think she would have wanted to get pregnant and leave the workforce the second she was able to do so. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/134073-all-episodes-discussion/page/3/#findComment-7846721

MTV really doesn't need to keep broadcasting the boring moms - they can just swoop in with a big fat contract whenever one of the Teen Mom kids gets pregnant and then we can watch them. Jade really had it quite tough with her family. I hope she's in therapy (I don't watch this show closely enough to know if that is happening).

Pretty clever how they brought his wife/girlfriend back on the show after they locked her out! Brought her back to talk about their sick baby so nobody can complain about her. Money, money, money!
