S06.E24: Love In La La Land

[Tara Ariano]

Quote

Maci and Taylor work on their marriage in counseling; Farrah goes on a date with Asaf, whom she picked on the aftershow; and Gary asks Amber to help him surprise Leah with a new house.

[CofCinci]

Check out the Maci clip. They don't need marriage counseling. They need alcohol treatment. 

[GreatKazu]

Exactly. Well, at least Maci needs some kind of treatment. Taylor may be able to handle his drinking. There hasn't been enough of him on the show to draw any sort of conclusion, but we know Maci can't. Not even pregnancy can stop her from ingesting alcohol. Maci said "we" in her preview clip, but she could just be throwing Taylor under the bus. I am not saying he isn't arguing with her, but I can't say that he may have a drinking issue. She is the one who has a past with fighting and getting in trouble due to alcohol. 

FYI the Maci clip is in her thread topic. 

[leighroda]

Does anyone know the timeline of when after shows are filmed? I always thought it was like within the week of airing, but if they are showing a date with the person Farrah picked like 2 weeks ago, that doesn't work... maybe that one was filmed a while back, I guess it can vary... I just know with the teen mom 2 girls when Chelsea and Jenelle were pregnant and it was documented that leah and Kail were traveling as the shows aired to film the after shows, so I assumed that's how they were filmed.

[woodscommaelle]

Baby hooker. That's just lovely, Amber.

Sophia frightened me with her 'Would you rather' game.

This is YOUR foundation, Catelynn? You couldn't seem less interested in any of it.

Gary bought 90 chickens to spite Amber. Do what now?

Maci and Taylor could rock me to sleep with their chill, monotone talk.

[BXD]

Believe it or not, Amber, Gary has better things to do with his life than spite you. I can gaurantee he didnt buy a house and chickens just because of you. 

[Primetimer]

There's a lot of poop talk, but not a lot of shit talk.

Amber is just the worst. When Matt has his normal person mask on, it actually makes her look worse. So petulant and selfish. She "had to" go to Puerto Rico so she hasn't seen Leah in what, months? And she's asking Gary for compassion? And I can't even with the "baby hooker" makeup.

Farrah's nonsensical sentence construction makes me think she'd fit right in in the current White House administration. 

I found it a bit alarming when Maci threatened to "pop" 2 year old Jayde (god, that spelling!) for not being able to sit through a manicure.

I get so uncomfortable hearing Cate and Tyler talk about Carly. The adoption should have been closed a long time ago. They've done themselves a huge disservice by obsessing over their access to Carly. All of the pictures, the meetings, buying her presents--all of these things are teases of the life they might have had with her. Cate and Tyler can't accept that Carly's been on an entirely separate life path from them since she was a newborn. She isn't their daughter; she's a little girl who is growing and thriving with her own life and family. I wish Cate and Tyler could find peace in the knowledge that Carly is happy and loved, and give themselves the space to stop clinging to what might have been.

And it kills me how certain they are that Carly is going to seek them out when she's old enough. With one simple Google search Carly is going to have virtually limitless access to Cate and Tyler. I'm not so sure that after seeing Cate and April getting high while driving or seeing Grandpa Butch the junkie that Carly is going to rush to meet them. If Carly does choose to contact them, I hope Cate and Tyler can recognize boundaries and realize they aren't entitled to anything more than Carly wants to give them.

Sounds like when she would tell Bentley she would "beat his ass".  

[FlowerofCarnage]

Just call this "the poop episode"

Tyler telling Dawn that they would have never found the poop if Nova hadn't picked it up tells me everything I needed to know about their cleaning habits.

No one needed to known that Bentley feels uncomfortable pooping at school. 

So, you don't spend time with your kid because you're pissed you aren't allowed to spend more time with your kid?

[jacksgirl]

Bintlee is going to hate all of his what should be private moments recorded for viewing in perpetuity pretty darn soon.

[poeticlicensed]

So first Cate and Tyler were going to use the money they make from the baby hooker clothing (thanks amber) and start a foundation. Then we skipped right over the business and dove right into the foundation. Which of course they wanted to name after iCarly . If that doesn't shut down contact permanently with B and T, nothing will. Then dawn the fake counselor who is really the adoption coercer and liar, makes a cameo. 

Amber cannot be civil with gary because apparently everything he does from getting married to buying a house to actually having stability in his life is done to spite Amber. She is such a victim in her own mind. And wtf was that chair she was sitting in over in the corner of some room in her rental house? And that weird long shot at the end where the chair with amber sitting in it is shoved over in the corner and the camera pulls out to reveal some faux sculpture/ bust on the table. I nearly lol over her "klassyness" of collecting "art" . 

Farrah, don't ask your kid their opinion, like where they want to live, and when they don't give you the answer you want, you correct the kid on their opinion. 

Maci, Taylor snore. 

[luvbadtv]

Farrah's date, Asaf, was on the show "Are You the One".  Just another reality star wannabe.  Farrah seemed almost normal a few times in this episode, but her interaction with Sophia is just so bizarre.

[WhosThatGirl]

So everything Gary does is to spite Amber? Like he spends all his time thinking about things that will make her mad? I doubt it. I know Gary isn't perfect but it just seems like he has more to do than sit around and be like "I'm going to buy a house because Amber can't!" Whatever.

Again.. this episode I come around liking Farrah the most and I.. don't know how I feel about that.

Also are we all Ambers new cat? Who looks like she wants to escape. I feel you pretty blue eyed cat, I feel you.

Yes, Amber, he purchased a home for his family to spite you. Gary is just the worst. 

This was the episode to break me. I'm almost done with this series. Nova has literal and figurative shit in her hands while her parents cry about Carly!  Enough already. 

[Caracoa1]

Maci must have not put much thought into how much work having two trap babies under two would be.....all she wanted was for Taylor to marry her..well honey...he put the ring on your finger so quit your bitching and raise your trap children!

Ugh. I know. Watching Nova hold that out to Dawn was disgusting. Like legitimately disgusting for this show. And Tyler and Catelynn reactions were.. not even all that embarrassed about it. Dawn was probably thinking "now I have to sit and talk".

[LotusFlower]

Catelyn's speech about Theresa not communicating with her was confusing to me.  She lamented not knowing why Theresa was distant, but didn't Theresa tell her?  I.e. theyre not comfortable being on the show anymore, they don't want C&T to even talk about their conversations on air, and they were concerned that C&T (and Butch, etc...) were overstepping boundaries.  I understand Cate's frustration and sadness over the distance and lack of communication, but I don't think it's fair to say she's in the dark.  I think she's just in denial.

Bold mine: I wish I could like this a million times. If only we could rename Maci's thread "Maci and her Von Trap Babies." 

[guilfoyleatpp]

That lady from the Blue Water Pregnancy Center looked like someone who would stand outside of Planned Parenthood and yell at people walking in.

[LotusFlower]

So Farrah is moving to L.A. even though she has three "businesses" in Austin.  I've said all along that the shops were just fronts for the show - to pretend she's an entrepreneur, and to pretend it's how she makes money, when in reality, she still does porn.  

[bethster2000]

Here's the thing, though...with each passing week, I find myself hating Farrah less and less.

I want to know what Essie shade she had on her toenails.

Yeah. I'm starting to think Farrah is like that girl on your Facebook feed from High school. You didn't friend her but she friended you and every time you see her posts, they condescending and annoying.. but you kind of get what she's saying? And you're confused because you know you shouldn't but you kind of do. Otherwise she's a harmless person and she's pretty upfront with who she is as a person.

Escorting, not porn.  But yeah, those "businesses" are fronts.

The episode hasn't aired yet here on the West Coast, but this doesn't surprise me about Maci.

Last episode Bentley being a regular kid he is said eww or something to that effect about eating Zucchini. Then she told him " You're lucky I even cook your ass dinner every day." She's such a vulgar bitch with her kids. Yeah lot lizard, millions of Mothers and Fathers cook their children dinner everyday, it's called being a parent! God I hate these people, yet here I am.

Yes, this.  Exactly.  Say what you want about Farrah, she does seem to know the value of a dollar and she does know how to hustle.  The other three will piss through their Teen Mom money and get foreclosed upon, etc.  Give it ten years or so.  I don't think that will be true for Farrah, though.  Frankly, she seems smarter and more savvy than that.

[imjagain]

Baby hooker make up... Wtf!!??? 

Amber is such a miserable person! This freaking waste of space couldn't even take Leah to Gary's new house?? My dislike for Amber off the charts.

[WhosThatGirl]

I think Amber was getting angry because I guess Gary being able to buy a house probably makes her feel bad because it's showing the true colors that she isn't that great of a mother as she claims to be. My favorite moment is when she was like "can't you give me more time? I HAD TO GO TO PURTO RICO"  I swear Gary had a "Amber, please" face when he said "anytime you want to see her, you can" . Gary rules, actually. 

Edited June 6, 2017 by WhosThatGirl

[LotusFlower]

Farrah, real?  She's as fake as they get.  Like I wrote earlier, I'm pretty sure her businesses are fronts, which means every time she films at one of them - it's all fake, she claims to have "work" in L.A. but never shows it, she lied from the start about her pornos, saying it was a leaked "sex tape" made with her "boyfriend," she arranged to be  on a reality show with a fake boyfriend, and when he bailed at the last minute, she went on the show anyway, continuing with the lie, her entire appearance is fake (but that's a different ball of wax), etc., etc...

Gary is really happy - he's married to a woman he loves, he has children, jobs (maybe? I think), stability, a new house, farmland, chickens! - everything that Amber wants and doesn't have, so she manifests her jealousy and insecurities by criticizing him.

I think it's so trashy when parents threaten to pop their kids. Just throw yourself in a dumpster and call it a day. There should be a few backwash drops for Maci to pour down her throat.

Novalee offering the piece of shit* to Dawn was kind of funny until Tyler says they never would have found it. Does your new home already smell so bad you're admitting you'd have a difficult time discerning dog shit from a human piece of shit (one that is not named Butch)?

Ugh! And Amber? You had to go to Puerto Rico? Had to? A GOOD MOTHER would never let a vacation come before visitation. And Gary couldn't have POSSIBLY learned about chickens and "farming." Nope, he clearly took the same route you did to open your shit boutique, right? She is the biggest dumbfuck on this show.

This episode made me so homesick for Indiana, I couldn't stand it.  Everything beautiful that I love about my home state was there on Gary's property.  Man, did Amber blow it or what when it comes to Geeeery?  He has everything Amber really wants, and she threw it all away.  No amount of gauche sports cars or baby hooker makeup or twee McMansions in Geist is going to change that.

[LunaMia]

This is why Amber deserves zero sympathy. Yeah Amber, it's so horrible that your daughter has a nice roof over her head, a stable home, and a farm she'll probably love. Instead she goes off on how Gary is trying to spite her by living his normal and stable life!? Oh, he won't be able to take care of his home, like how well you take care of yours; oops your rental!? Full of dog shit and piss! 

By the way, if you care so much for your kid, you wouldn't let her sit in the front seat of a sports car, driven by your personal leech. 

Farrah needs to go back to the dark hair, it suits her a lot better.

[GreatKazu]

Who is this  chick on the after-show? Oh. It's Briana. Did she get work done on her face?

She couldn't go with Gross Guy to drop her daughter off because she couldn't handle his "spitefulness?" Yes, Amber, you're a GREAT MOTHER. Damn. Even Jenelle seems to know you should always have your kids with you when the cameras are on. Dumbass Amber willingly reads the voice overs that clearly state that if she has a hangnail, seeing Leah is a no-go. And holy shit, someone thinks she's Estee Lauder with the talk of Leah taking over the Bed Empire.

Bringing up her porn career wasn't to judge her, but to point out her lies and fakery.  She's not honest about it, and MTV allows her to get away with it.

We can all disagree on many things here but we all agree that the MVP of this episode was Ambers new cat, right?

I understand why she's upset, though.  It's an open adoption, and all parties agreed to document the journey, and that included frequent contact, and yearly visits.  Now all that's been curtailed, and although I understand why B & T made the change(s), it is change nonetheless, so it's gotta be hard.

It was mentioned last season that those visits were "at the discretion of B&T". It was in writing and it was pointed out to Cate.

They claim such self awareness yet can't recognize that they are continuing to do what B&T specifically asks them not to. That is my exact problem with their scenario. They have no boundaries and can't understand that other people do.
