S08.E00: Being Javi

[druzy]

Javi balances being a single dad half the time and deciding if he should start dating again; the possibility of future deployment leads him to throw himself into a crossfit competition while trying to build a happy life.

Javi balances being a single dad while fighting with Hulk. He is deciding if he should start dating again. In the meantime, he is fucking Briana because she is easy sleazy. 

[Thorkim]

I think I'll pass.

[Marley]

Can’t be any worse then being Nathan. I’ll watch it lol.

[MyPeopleAreNordic]

I'm just hoping Peach as well as Javi's sisters and parents show up and throw some subtle shade and spill some secrets. (But yeah, I'll just read about it here rather than watching.)

Being Nathan is the best, for all the wrong reasons. 

I literally said “Ew” when I saw this special coming up.

I don’t think he and peach are still friends.  They haven’t tweeted or mentioned each other since he started dating Brianna. I follow Peach I’m twitter, but not Javi.  I will not be disappointed if my dvr forgets to record this episode.

[druzy]

Javi walks us through where he’s been over the last few years and what he’s up to now.

[Mkay]

Did anyone watch?

[MaddyMaeboxerbabe]

I think it is on tonight?

[CaliforniaLove]

He actually didn't annoy me too much, but it was really boring. He doesn't have much of a personality. Kail was not pleasant.

[FlowerofCarnage]

I bet Lydia hates Kail with the fire of 1000 suns. 

So, Javi said that he was initially stationed in Kansas, that he and Kail were prepared to leave and then he got the call, stating he was going to be stationed in Dover. So, Kail was just going to take Isaac to Kansas prior the the judge making a decision? 

Javi's buddies reaction to the name, "Lux"....priceless! I can't help but think when the cameras stop rolling, the first thing they said to him, " We told you not to marry that hoe!". Lol 

As long as Javi values fame, he isn't going to find the "One". 

[Mkay]

I just don’t know if I can handle an he of his lips.  I can’t even look at him because they don’t even close.  Lolol Oh, that and he’s a fame whore. 

[JocelynCavanaugh]

I wasn’t going to watch this but I was bored and there was no Married at First Sight this week, so what the hell. It was okay. I never really liked Javi but this didn’t make me like him any less. If anything I felt a little sorry for him. Kailyn is really, unnecessarily mean to him. His overbearing friend Alejandra was right: co-parenting doesn’t mean they have to be emotionally entangled. 

His tattoos are lame and I think CrossFit is a bit extra, but he is in damn good shape, I must admit. 

[eskimo]

So Kail, who would not allow her husband to look at her phone when they were married, goes through Javi's phone after they are divorced?  Who the hell does she think she is?  She talked to him like a dog when they were leaving the soccer field.  I was hoping he'd tell her that he doesn't answer to her and that he has 50% custody of the backpack.  She has to be a huge bitch about EVERY.  LITTLE.  THING.  If I came away with anything from this special, it's that I dislike Kail more than before.  Didn't know that was possible.  

Oh, I also learned that Javi got the first house they bought in Dover.  I figured they sold it.  I'm obviously not a details type of person.  lol

[FairyDusted]

I missed it!

[Marley]

I don't know I kind of like Javi. I mean he is a famewhore a bit you can tell but it seems like he’s a good person inside. Also anyone who can deal with that beast Kail with the patience he shows is pretty good in my book. She is a disgusting bitch. I don’t know what makes her think she is something special but it’s hard to even watch her. I can’t imagine being around her in real life. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard her say anything nice to like pretty much anyone.

agreed, his friends/family seem to adore him.  I think he's an okay guy!

And I'm sure that the long-haired producer guy found it much, much easier to hang w/Javi & crew than Nathan!  He seemed like he was even kind of enjoying himself.

Fort Riley is right next door to me!  I wonder if Kail would have bought her degree from the university where I work instead. We sure dodged a bullet there... 

[CalicoskiesNC]

I find I like Javi more after this show. He is a good dad and seems to be a good friend to many. He is boring but so am I!  I like drama-free living and so does my husband, nothing wrong with that. 

[mrs ra]

I enjoyed the scene where Kail dropped off Lincoln and brought Javi up to date on the food situation. She was right to let Javi know that Lincoln had not had an adequate nourishing lunch. But boy I loved the self satisfied looks on Javi and Lincoln after she left and Lincoln had a chocolate face!  

[Purerockfury]

Can we get a Being Lincoln?

Agreed. Kail is just so aggressive and defensive about everything, right off the bat. But Javi seems to be attracted to women who are messes, so...? It’s good that he still sees Isaac. I see that Kail got Isaac a haircut suitable for “little white boys.” I also happen to like Javi and Lydia’s lips. I have full lips too and I love them. Especially since I was teased about them as a child.

Does Lydia have children? She told Lincoln that she is a teacher who has a family and I heard a child screaming “Mommy!” at Javi’s house. Good for her for putting together that lamp. I gave up on assembling IKEA furniture 10 years ago. Shit’s exhausting and makes me cry.

[Spiderella2]

I love Lydia. She is awesome. I love the snarky greetings she gives Kail, which Kail can’t even realize is snark disguised as courtesy. Lydia should be right here on this board with us. 

I watched because I thought they would give some inside dirt that we didn’t already know. But Kail is a hosebeast, who still thinks she can boss Javi around. She came to his house and was trying to regulate? I loved when Javi told her “next time knock”, watched it twice just to see the look on Kwhales face. She was about to explode but was trying to keep it in check cos the cameras were there. 

Javi isn’t awful. He was definitely already dating Briana here (filmed in Oct/Nov) but it must have still been kept under the table because she wasn’t mentioned once. 

His friends and family all seem to love and adore him. Plus he has a lot of really good deep friendships, not just hangers-on. All tells me he is a decent person, and actually made me root for him to “win” vs Kwhale. I hope he ends up happily married, in love, and settled soon with a Vee type, and Kwhale ends up trolling from d to d and getting played every time. 

[guilfoyleatpp]

Lydia is dying to beat down Hulk. I would pay to see that. 

I did love Javi putting Kail in her place. And him tying her PFA directly to a lost job opportunity. She's a bitch on wheels.

Same.

[meredithalmighty]

Alejandra seems to be a great friend to Javi. Was she on previous Teen Mom episodes? I didn't recognize her but I used to skip through a lot of the Kail/Javi segments.

Javi has great friends and family. Lydia needs to get a Twitter account.  It makes no sense why he went chasing after Briana other than wanting to hold on to fame. I wish his friends would have called him out on his Captain Save-a-hoe complex. He's an attentive dad to Lincoln, good friend to others, and seems like a good person.  If he makes better choices in partners, he can have a pretty nice life. 

It sucks that Kail's PFA affected his ability to be considered for the police officer job. This episode really made me dislike her more.

I agree. IMO Javi is a human with flaws like all of us, and seems to be the type that would treat others decently unless given a reason not to (as in a real or perceived harm to him). Now I’m not forgetting how he treated Jo back in the day, but he seems to have learned from that mistake AND changed his behavior. Anyone can make a mistake, but how you handle it speaks on your character. 

And @charmed1 I like Javi’s lips as well- they are his best feature IMO, I don’t see how they are particularly large. 

[meredithalmighty]

I also thought it was very realistic with Javi's guilt with being at the gym vs keeping Lincoln entertained. I have to get my workouts in before I pick up my daughter, so that was particularly relatable. I hope him and Jo get the same lawyer if Kail tries to leave Dover.

Does anyone have the link to Javi's Crossfit video submission?

Now see, that is what I like about Javi - he owns his behavior and does his best to change it. Javi is stumbling with his choices in females, but overall, he makes that effort to learn from his mistakes and shows self-awareness. Kail could learn from this, but she chooses not to.

She really is a piece of work, no?  Three kids by three different men - gosh - skank.

Javi and Brianna is too horrible to imagine.  She is another one who collects kids from different men and Javi has an actual job with benefits.  Score!

Edited February 16, 2018 by jumper sage

[GreatKazu]

I didn't watch this special.

I am disgusted and beyond pissed to read that Kanal's fake restraining order caused Javi to lose out on an opportunity to join a career in law enforcement. 

[Soobs]

Kail comes across so much worse in this special than during the regular show. I didn't really think that was possible. She sucks the air out of every room she enters. How her kids are so happy is a mystery. Maybe they have naturally sunny personalities or they are still too young to notice her angry, humorless demeanor. 

Javi's life was pretty basic. Gym, kids, family time, angry ex, boring club. Yawn. He seems pretty laid back overall. His whole fame is hard schtick was laughably transparent. He hasn't really done much to deserve it, so I guess acting like it's hard is his way of being humble.

[CofCinci]

I didn’t watch. Did Javi re-enlist in the AF?

He’s still listed as active duty. 

[MissMel]

I didn't pay full attention but he said something about not re-enlisting if he couldn't stay in the Dover area.

[Calm81]

I finally brought myself to watch “Being Javi” primarily because of the CrossFit competition submission. I love CrossFit and seeing his clips of him at his box with Lincoln was so cute. I have to take my kiddos with me as well and they act just like Lincoln did. 

Watching his being episode actually made me like him more. He’s very calm and chill. His morning routine with Lincoln was adorable and almost like mine. My kids will sit at the couch watching Netflix on their iPads while eating breakfast while I make their school lunches. Javis home seems less stressful and chaotic than it is at Kailyns house which looks like a nice escape for Lincoln much like Isaac at Jo’s house.

I also liked hearing that Javi could take advantage of being on TV to get easy ladies but chooses not to because he’s looking for more in a lady. I have to respect that. Most reality tv guys are out there trying to bang every groupie until it doesn’t get up no more and hit the blue pill. ?

(Of course he could be blowing smoke up out ass about not wanting the easy lays, lol).

I’m so pissed that Kailyn fake PFA kept Javi from becoming a cop. I remember that he wanted to pursue law enforcement when he went on his first date with Kailyn but Kailyn encouraged him to join the Air Force for them benefits. Now that he wants to settle down in Dover he goes to pursue his original career dream and that unnecessary PFA disqualified him. ?

I wish Lydia would fix herself up more, she has potential but looks like she’s choosing to live an Aunt Bee type of life where she’s just the “live-in help” for Javi when Lincoln comes home.

I like Alexandra, too bad Javi won’t pursue a relationship with her. They get along well and already spend tons of time together at the gym. The married couples at my CrossFit box say that couples that their marriage grew stronger once they started WODing together, haha!

I can forgive Javi for how he treated Jo back in the day, Jo moved on from that beef, because he seems like someone I could hangout with. Kailyn can bring out the worst in people with her nasty, negative attitude.

I have a used to have a friend that was so negative to be around that she was capable of making one of our bubbly friends behave like a bitch when in her presence and once the negative Nancy would leave the bubbly friend became positive and upbeat again. It’s amazing how someone negative can suck the positive life out of a room with the bad vibes. Lol.

Was Javi dating Brianna when he was filming this? I don’t think he was because they were decorating pumpkins and I believe they started dating in November??? Either way, I’m glad he dumped Briana. I don’t want that nasty, ass spitting bitch around sweet Lincoln and Isaac. Lol.

 

Does anybody’s autocorrect keep replacing bitch with butch??? Every time I type “bitch” I have to quickly retype it because autocorrect puts “butch”! ?

[DangerousMinds]

I don't believe Javi wants a more "normal," non famewhore type woman. His past choices speak for themselves.

[GreatKazu]

I just watched it. It was rather boring. 

Although I know Kail pretty well through this show, I am still shocked and disgusted at her behavior towards Javi, especially with the whole rankism she does. She asserts this superiority such as she is the best mom, the best TM on the show, the first one who graduated from college (lie), while putting others down, particularly Javi.  She tells him he isn't going to succeed with the Cross Fit competition. Javi saying he was going to succeed as a way to prove her wrong, really bothered me because he gets sucked into her negativity. Do the competition because you want to, not to prove anything to that POS trash Kanal. As @Calm81 pointed out, there are some people who just work hard at sucking the life out of people and they succeed. 

Kanal can't ever just support or be supportive. Any chance she gets, she has to find a way to put someone down. But you know if it were Javi telling her she wasn't going to graduate from college or that she was never going to succeed in her endeavors, she'd blow a head gasket.

So am I, @GreatKazu!  Major props to Javi for still interacting with her in an adult manner (for Lincoln & Isaac). I'm almost a decade older than Javi and I'm not sure I could be so (relatively) polite to someone who had done that to me and my career!  I'm simmering in anger for Javi right now (and it's not like I'm even a big Javi fan).

I'm with you. I don't believe that at all.  Javi seems like a nice, responsible, successful-at-adulting, caring guy. I don't think he's a bad person at all (unlike, say, Jenelle's David). He's a good person, but he's still a Captain-Save-A-Ho who is at Famewhore Level Ten.

Being around Kail and her self-made chaos is exhausting.  She has to remind herself that she's "the best," "the first," etc because deep down inside Kail is still the poor, hurt little girl with the addict mom & absentee dad.  It's past time for her to address that issue and not make herself feel better by asserting how great she is to others or putting them down.  She's a bully.

She is a straight up bully. 

I didn't even understand what she was arguing about in the parking lot with Javi. Was it about Lincoln's bag or something? I don't know. It seemed like nothing, but yet, she made it something. Javi's sister is Switzerland. I praise her. I'd be the type to say, "This is what you want to argue about? Enough already. Keep the peace for the kids." 

Javi telling Kail to not step into his home without knocking first and then her response, "WHAT?????" in that sarcastic bitch tone of hers. She then tells him how he enters her house without knocking. Really, Kail? I saw Javi knocking on your door to drop of Lincoln. I don't think Javi will enter your home again without knocking for fear you will call the cops on him.  The police have real emergencies to deal with than going to that sow's house.

Did anyone notice, during the scene in the parking lot, that Kanal's arm was almost crushed by the car trunk?

As long as we can get a Being Grady special too!

He asks good questions and seems to have a great rapport with nearly anyone he meets. 

I also want Grady to spill the tea on the hilarious and dramastic stuff that didn't air during "Being Nathan." Specifically more about the shenanigans when Nathan & Doris were in the hotel bathroom prior to the body building competition, trying to shave his back, and every word between them sounded so sexual that Grady & the other producer were practically crying from laughing so hard. 

[FairyDusted]

Damn I missed Nathans. Grady? I thought it would be JEFF.
