S05.E21: Check-Up With Dr. Drew – Part One

[Tara Ariano]

Description TBA.

[Snarky McSnarky]

I wonder if Dr. Drew got a fresh spray tan for the occasion.

[CofCinci]

Did Catelynn bring her blanket?

[poopchute]

Let's try to predict what ridiculous things Panda will praise everyone for instead of addressing any of the atrocious things they do:

Tyler will be praised for recognizing that Catelyn is having issues that require professional help. There will be no commentary on his lack of parenting, having a job, education, or plan for life.

Catelyn will probably be scolded for not communicating to Tyler when she needs his help.

Amber will be praised for staying clean and sober. Gary will probably be shamed for not giving Amber more time with Leah.

Maci will be praised for better communication with Ryan but I'm sure he won't say anything about how she could have prevented this third unplanned pregnancy and how she had zero prenatal care until she was 21 weeks pregnant. I'm not sure what Panda will say to Ryan.

Farrah will be praised for allowing her mother and father to be so involved in Sophia's life. I'm sure he won't touch ANY of her issues with her attitude, behaviors, or whatever she's doing "raising" Sophia that has turned her into a feral animal.

What did I forget?

[politichick]

Not a thing. I almost chocked on my coffee trying not to laugh too loud at work. This assessment is spot on.

[SPLAIN]

Did Catelynn bring her blanket?

The Carly blanket? The one that has her face on it? LOL

Catelynn will make sure to take her cigarettes, her hooker shoes, and her grandma blouses.

Amber will make sure to say whatever Matt has told her to say.

Tyler will be his condescending self.

Taylor will ask for his MTV check.

[Brooklynista]

Matt will be praised for moving beyond his past (by that I mean his kids) and becoming an awesome stepfather to Leah.

Farrah will ugly cry. Guaranteed.

[Elizabeth9]

Pretty sure the topic of the "non porn" will be brought up AGAIN

[iheartla]

IIRC the reunion was filmed before Maci announced the 3rd pregnancy, so it'll be them gushing about their new engagement. Perhaps a mention of her pressuring Tmoney which she will deny. Drew will ask her how life is with 2 kids, she will let out a heavy sigh and say hectic.

Dr. Drew will address Matt's secrets. Amber will defend. "It definitely surprised me but he has apologized. He wasn't lying to me; because of his past, he wasn't aware that he had other children. He was just as surprised as I was. All relationships have up's and down's. We love each other. The wedding venue is booked."
 
Cate will have to talk about her anxiety again, discussing it until she turns blue in the face. Just like she had to with the Carly talk from Season 1-4. The more she talks about it on camera, the worse it gets. Tyler announces isn't sure how to help her but they go to counselling. They might touch on her leaving Nova with grandma 3x a week.

Dr. Drew will be cautious with Farrah. He might discuss her trust issues with her parents while she was going to the UK. Ask about Simon and how they are doing. Farrah will pretend to blubber about Derek. Drew will not touch on the argument with the producer. If he did, she would get snippy and run off the stage. He will not bring up ring shopping either.

Sneak Peek: Farrah's Troubled Past Brings Her to Tears

 

Exploited? Was Farrah sexually abused as a child? 

[poopchute]

I hate him already. How can he not respond when she says Larry can't communicate properly? Why is he not addressing the way she "communicates"? That belongs in quotes because I don't think we can really call any of her interactions with anyone else "communicating" on any level.

Exploited? Was Farrah sexually abused as a child?

I love how the commercial run with this clip is for Plan B...

[guilfoyleatpp]

She is a full grown adult. Why does she not have to take responsibility for her actions?
 

She's such a child. She must have learned from her mom to keep trying different tactics until someone loses their shit. Unfortunately for her (and fortunately for everyone else) she's so oblivious to other people, she doesn't get what makes them angry, so she just throws random shit out and looks ridiculous.

Sneak Peek: Farrah's Troubled Past Brings Her to Tears

Exploited? Was Farrah sexually abused as a child?

Farrah has claimed her parents were physically abusive to her. She has claimed James Deen raped her. I think Farrah has a tendency to lie about pretty much everything. It is pathetic and it makes me angry because it makes it harder for the true victims of these kinds of crimes, such as those of us who have been victims of sexual crimes, to be believed.

Farrah is like the Yolanda Foster of Teen Mom. Farrah has been a victim of many crimes and is dealing with the aftermath of those crimes. Whatever new allegation she can come up with to get her sympathy is how she rolls.

What's the saying? If you run into an asshole in the morning, you've run into an asshole. But if you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole? Not that it matters since Farrah as absolutely zero self awareness

I've never heard that saying but I love it and plan to start using it immediately.  Thanks!

I wouldn't say this about any other victim but Farrah.....

In the words of the late Whitney Houston, "Where are the receipts?"

I'm gonna need to see some proof of this terrible abuse/trauma Farrah has suffered.

I hear ya.

[Elizabeth9]

I feel like Farrah is just going down the checklist of bad things that happened to people. Parental abuse? Check. Raped (apparently multiple times?) Check. Sexually abused? Check. What's next?

[NikSac]

Hm maybe a kidnapping? That's pretty awful and she hasn't used that one yet.

I do think bad things probably happened to her but I think they've likely been dramatically inflated in her mind, sadly. And I think more has been invented that likely never happened at all.

[Snarky McSnarky]

Farrah is a professional victim, and it has paid off for her thus far.

[Brooklynista]

But it amazes me how NOBODY calls her on it. Nobody say, Ya know what bitch? Prove it! Prove a single on of your claims. Pick any one of them and show me the Carfax.

Haha true! Farrah would bust out with her fake ass non-existent tears.

Deb and Michael are afraid to stand up to Farrah. Weak ass people.

Thanks!  I don't think I read that one before. Just when I thought I had a new idea for her...

[DoctorWhovian]

Farrah is the Donald Trump of Teen Mom: everything she says is either completely fabricated or exaggerated to the point of being fake; she yells over anyone who dares to go against her by using really pathetic insults, many of which are hypocritical because she has said or done the same (see: telling her mom not to use bad language around Sophia -- even better, Trump's recent comments about the former Mexican President's use of the F-word); if you question her for any kind of facts, she does she either yells, uses the previously referenced poor insults, or cries; she refuses to admit when she is caught in a lie (porn); and, if she is not insulting someone, she is talking about how amazing she, and everything she has ever touched, is.

 

Did I miss anything?

[MissMel]

Did I miss anything?

I think just "Dead Daddy Derrick".

[Elizabeth9]

Omfg I'm literally laughing out loud, which probably makes my coworkers think I'm crazy...but it's spot on!

[DoctorWhovian]

I think just "Dead Daddy Derrick".

 

I think that's similar to Trump's referral to being a great business man. She brings it up a lot to deflect when people make a good point against her, and uses it to garner support for her craziness.

[qtpye]

So, "Farrah, do you have any proof about the rape, belt beatings, parents in jail, kidnapping, false sex tapes and other horrible things that you claim happen to you, to excuse your nasty behavior.

 

Farrah's response, "Why are you such white trash?"

 

Michael's response, "Buy my book"

 

Debra's response, "Farrah has changed the world by being on this show and doing porn...uh having a sex tape."

 

Sophia's response, "Redrum, redrum." (Shining reference)

[truelovekiss]

Just saw the commercial: looks like tonight's episode is going to be Maci and Farrah. And yes, Farrah ugly cries with no tears.

[snarts]

When was the reunion filmed? Obviously before the engagement and baby announcement. Kinda renders it useless, eh? Like reading a US magazine from August 2015.

[Brooklynista]

Maci is twisted into a pretzel covering that damn miracle.

[ClassyCourtHeels]

When was the reunion filmed? Obviously before the engagement and baby announcement. Kinda renders it useless, eh? Like reading a US magazine from August 2015.

 

Correct.

 

The engagment apparently happened after the taping in LA.

 

And yeah the reunions are particularly worthless. Especially this go around with Maci getting engaged, pregnant, and drinking and all the shit about Matt the last few weeks.

 

Although Drew wouldn't have even held their feet to the fire on either of those topics anyway. They wouldn't have even addressed Maci's stupidity and Matt's would have just been glossed over.

[Spacecow]

Well Maci's segment was appropriately snooze worthy. Had to laugh at Ryan looking so uncomfortable while Maci and his parents talked about him like he wasn't in the room. Maci's last second jab about him not having a job just seemed petty.

[Firebird]

Watching Maci's segments... She looked bored with Taylor and hot for Rahhhn. just sayin' (I would too though...)

[CofCinci]

She's always going to be hot for Ryan.

[ClassyCourtHeels]

wtf was up with Maci's hair? Looked awful. Was that to distract from her belly?

 

Not sure why I even watch the reunions. They are completely pointless and boring.

Edited March 1, 2016 by ClassyCourtHeels

[ChaoticHeart]

That was LAME.

Taylor called Maci his 'queen' LOL. Didn't he mean 'sugar momma'?

Why the hell was Ryan blinking so fast and so many times? He looked like shit to me. Pale and just...blech.

Of course, Sad Panda had to kiss Farrah's egotistical, rude, and over-inflated ass.

[Mischievious]

I'm going to hell. One of the commercials before they returned to the show was for True Life. The episode was "my parents are in porn." My immediate thought was "oh look! Sophia got her own show'"

Shouldn't Shopia's front teeth have grown in by now?

Proud of Ryan standing up to Dr. Drew and saying hell no to them meeting his new lady.

[anarchyangel84]

Sophia is making potions? That couldn't have been anymore PERFECT. Now it kind of makes sense. They're all witches!! I can see them over their "science" potions- chanting in their creepy baby voices, trying to make themselves prettier & trying to make Sohpia look less like a demon troll doll & more like a normal kid. They probably tried to turn Larry & Simon into some kind of rodents.

Seriously though- I mentioned on Twitter that the same things that Farrah bitches & moans about her Mother are the SAME things we don't like about her. She's just like Debra- but I think Farrah's a little worse.

Yea & great going Dr. Drew! Give Farrah more excuses to treat people like shit. She said that it was Larry's fault she pushed him. What a delusional bitch! I don't get how child protective services don't get involved. None of them are fit to be around a child let alone RAISE one.

If I ever see Farrah, while I kick her ass till the implants fall out, I'll make sure to tell her that SHE made me do it!

[Maharincess]

It looks like Ryan and his dad shared a box of hair dye before the show. Larry's kind of looked like a toupe at some points.

I barely watched Maci's segment. Farrah's is next but I think I'll skip that one. I had enough of her fake whisper, no tears crying during the commercials.

I did notice Maci's last jab at Ryan about him not having a job.

Shut up Maci.

Maci is one of those women who show their pregnancy in their faces, her face was obviously a little puffy to me. I don't know who she's trying to fool?

[LotusFlower]

BRILLIANT!!

[Marisagf]

I still don't understand what devastating trauma Farrah suffered in her childhood. As usual, I feel like they dance around this issue, but never explain what it was.  And I know  that she cannot put two sentences together and the TV conversation is edited for time and sometimes clarity.  But I still can't figure out what happened to her.  They are all so vague, but they still talk about it. 

[iheartla]

Re: Sophia making potions. I was just pleased to hear she has an interest in something age appropriate. Farrah tries so hard to push Sophia to grow up and be her best friend. 

Other than that, I don't know. I would understand her anger more if she opened up, but she isn't willing. In that same breath, girl has cried wolf so many times I doubt that I would believer her. It would depend on the amount of detail she gave, I suppose. That will never happen. She gives one word answers just to get people off her back. They are a horrific (and phony) family. Debra is crazy, Farrah is crazy, chicken or egg. I don't know. They both hurt each other and they both act outrageous. I hope there are repercussions for hitting the producer. 

Maci is refreshing in comparison, I'd like to see if she still likes this new gf in the long run. But wait, Taylor needs to quit his job to do the T-shirts? Is the prospective income that much higher than his current job? I mean, right now they are banking in on 3-4 payrolls, if they both have outside jobs + get paid by mtv + shirt sales. Maci is going to be on mat leave, I assume, with the 2 babies. Then to factor in the cost of 2 full time infants in daycare, it might be wiser for her to be a SAHM, or work from home (aka on the t-shirts). I'm stressed thinking about it.

Diving into the shallow end of the pool:

 

Maci's hair and makeup were terrible.  Very heavy makeup and severe hair. Not a good look.  Taylor's t-shirt from his clothing line was not attractive.  The pocket is way to big and fake leather-looking. Bentley is adorable!  For the love of all things holy, PLEASE stop with the girlfriend thing with him!  Let him be a kid!!

 

Farrah actually looked good.  Not as plastic in the face and her make up was much lighter than what she usually does on her own.  I wish she would can the hair extensions, but her hair color looked nice.  Sophia looked positively demure!  When she mentioned her love of potions, I burst our laughing and was dying to read the reactions on this board.  (I wish we could all live blog an episode.)

 

Amber, for the little we saw of her tonight, looked pretty.  Leah is still a cutie.

 

Catelynn's hair was nice, but I wish she would wear it shorter.  And keep her hands away from her face.

[WhosThatGirl]

I hate that these things get two parts. Panda sucks, it's obvious he doesn't watch this show.

Farrah and her traumas. She had a big bad dark secret that she refused to tell on camera in couples therapy and the therapist and her talked about it off camera but the other participants were like, "wtf?" When Farrah would get a pass for hgr behavior because of said secret. So I take childhood trauma with a grain of salt with her. Larry is the greatest thing on this show. I loved when he yelled at Farrah.

Maci was boring. Ryan and his outright disdain fot Dr.panda is hilarious. I'm pretty sure Ryan has never liked him, it dates back to teen mom season 1 when he was trying to force him and maci together. And also kind of let a happy laugh when he refused to have the appear on camera. Good for you Ryan. Otherwise boring, though. It was more of the same. Except Jen and Larry!

You summed up what I was thinking.  I always leave her segments so confused as if they are talking about something I should understand, but never have a clue of what they are referring to.

[CofCinci]

So was Farrah sexually abused as a kid and reenacted the assault when she said that porn star raped her? Is that what Drew was hinting at?

[honeydo7]

I remember Farrah accusing Dead Daddy Derek's parents of trying to "steal" her baby. And how she would make sure they would NEVER, EVER see her precious Sophia again..my how times change....that scene at DDD's gravesite with his parents, FA sobbing & her daughter prancing around was nauseating!
