S07.E14: Choose Your Path

Previews

Maci enlists Bentley’s help as she trains for her appearance on a survival television show.

Executive Producer Morgan talks to Farrah about her behavior

Nova and Tyler video chat with Catelynn while she is in rehab.

Gary finds out the results of the paternity test.

[druzy]

I think MTV edited Farrah's firing. There was no mention of Farrah and porn. They probably took down the original clip.

Farrah and Morgan are at the end of this clip. If you watch the preview for next week you can see the editing compared to this Season Preview.

I like how this is already 2 pages and it hasn't even aired yet.  HA.

 

I'm glad Maci isn't going on The Challenge.  The girlses bug me but I feel a little protective of them and I would NOT want Bentley having to watch his mom on The Challenge possibly bang someone in a laundry room while a bunch of people stood outside giggling.  The regular alum - I don't know their kids.

Yes, many sons help their mothers train for series where they run around naked in the woods.

I think this is Farrah's final exit on this evening's episode. Sophia wanted to share her thoughts:

"Legalize equality"? What does that even mean? The only thing it connotes for me is gay marriage, which was legalized a few years ago. I don't even know what else is still illegal that could have anything to do with Farrah, or what that has to do with her pretending to be Sophia and making a dumb smoothie.

Also I hate it when people play the "single parent" card when it has nothing to do with why they got fired/in trouble/whatever. Farrah, you were fired for being an asshole. If you were married to Angel Daddy Derek in Heaven, or even to Kenny Chesney, you'd still be an asshole. 

[druzy]

Wow-my heart breaks for Gary :(

I love Gary's attitude.

Maci you are NOT a super modest person. Don't make me show the receipts! 

[druzy]

These "Teen Moms" are paid crazy money. Their contracts should include a Live Tweeting Clause. Get it together Viacom, Eleventh Street Productions, Anxious Eleven, and Morgan Freeman (not that one).

Where is everyone? Is Bridezillas on tonight? I'll be right back.

I thought those electronic ankle bracelets were wireless (as per Love & Hip Hop).

[VioletNevermind]

Amber’s boyfriend’s face when she said, “We’re still not using condoms!”  Hilarious.  Never change, you hillbillies. 

[druzy]

When Freeman left Michael's house he said it's Farrah's decision to make. Was that edited in after the papers were served (Farrah's lawsuit).

Amber (Tyler's sister) looks rough...really rough!  She is very uncouth.....who dicusses  their sex life with their pre teen daughter at the table?

[TexasGal]

Amber, says without a trace of irony, that the sloth is her spirit animal.  I just...ummm...

I feel bad for Gary and his NotDad.  Christina was so upset too, that was sweet.

[shouldbedancing]

This episode was bizarre. Why did we have to spend so much time with Tyler's trashy family? I'm sorry but I don't care about Gary and his paternity test. Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to. I did like how his mom was unapologetic tho. But... blah. They really need to cancel this show.

[guilfoyleatpp]

Gary’s mom is Amber. Holy fucking shit. Could she give Jody a moment to mourn the loss of his assumed biological connection? Could she do something other than say “Oh well. I told you that was a possibility?”

She’s like a villain in a cheesy novel! WTF.

Also, holy shit Tyler’s sister looks like Butch. And if you asked me to guess what her drug of choice is, I wouldn’t have guessed adderall.

Jody...Jody Jody Jody!

[Caseysgirl]

is Amber 2 trying for a gig as the next Mom ( she's way past teen and the three or four other kids hardly make this her first time.) Boyfriend Billy will be Butch 2.0 - he can't even move away from the couch, he's literally on a short leash!  Maci is so not prepared for "Naked & Afraid"; making a fire is the LEAST of the struggles you'll be faced with & being a single Mom in Chattenooga  has not prepared you.   Amber 1 found a convenient way to get out of painting the baby room. She always has some sort of pain or discomfort when required to do any work.  The Farrah stuff was much ado about nothing. I don't actually see her as attractive enough for a career doing much other than her web cam or reality show circuit (and actually, she's kind of become overused on them). For 26, she's already looking old and washed up with that red thing on her head, the over exaggerated boobs & butt and her silicon face, she's really more of a human blow up doll. Buh-bye, Farrah. 

[Linny]

Tyler's sister is the picture of stability, isn't she? Hooked on adderall, boyfriend fresh from a stint in jail, unable to make ends meet (to the point she leans on Butch for support) but she wants a baby, like DAMN, girl, save some hot mess for somebody else. My respect for Tyler has increased tremendously now that I know he's battling crises from every angle. The Butch stuff would be hard enough on its own, but add in Catelynn's miscarriage/depression/rehab AND a crazy sister and it's clear Tyler is doing well to keep his head above water.

Something about Gary's mom is very off-putting to me. Her whole attitude of "Jody's not your dad, oh well, what do you want from me?" just rubbed me the wrong way. As for Amber, I love how they showed old footage of her screaming at Gary and acted like she's so much more mature now, as if Amber doesn't meltdown on camera or on social media at least three times a week.

That dude helping Maci seriously had to stand around for fifteen minutes while she failed to build a fire. I know nothing about Naked and Afraid so Maci's segments were boring to me, but I did think it was interesting that Taylor didn't seem overly thrilled by it. I wonder if auditioning for the show was another thing Maci did without consulting Taylor (much like how she revealed her miscarriage against his wishes).

I thought Morgan was quite measured while stating MTV's position on Farrah's webcams. She's welcome to go down that path, but it's not the reputation they want associated with the show or the network. And good for MTV for including Farrah's mean-spirited tweets, too. If her adult entertainment ventures are so beneficial and lucrative that she doesn't need TM anymore, then there's no need for her trash the show at every opportunity. But she's petty and completely lacking in class, and deep down she has to know she needs MTV far more than MTV needs her.

Same. What the hell did I just watch?

[Chris Knight]

Why won't Carol tell Gary who his dad is ? I think she was sleeping with more than 1 other dude at the time. Not 10 but not 1 either. I cannot even imagine. 

Taylor's sister Amber and her jailbird boyfriend, good God. Not a pot to piss in, drug problems, on parole, 2 other kids (who do THEY belong to ??) . And they want a baby. She tells her mom that she's not using birth control.

What is with these people discussing sex with their parents & kids ? Last week, Carol was shrieking like a deranged lunatic to Gary that she needs more sex, and this week the Grim Reaper tells her mom about condoms. I would be horrified to tell my parents or my kids about that type of stuff. I seriously don't get this.

Maci telling us after every break that she is going to Nicaragua..zzzz....

Farrah must be panicking. Now she will have to do porn ! She is out of options now. And I can't believe she's only 26.

[Juniebaby]

Poor Gary, he has a cold indifferent Mom and doesn’t know who his real Dad is.  Truthfully I feel like something is wrong with his Dad, is he slow? (just remembered when Ryan asked Maci if Kyle was slow lol). His Mom has no shame or regrets and didn’t seem bothered by the news.  Kind of explains why he put up with Amber’s abuse, he was just looking for female affection and wanted a family.

Lol @ Tyler telling his loser sister he never thinks any guy is good enough for her.  Amber is just a selfish delusional asshole.  Does she really think Leah can’t wait for her to have a baby, the girl is starved for attention from her mother.

[chuckity]

Farrah's an asshole.

 

That's all I got.

[FlowerofCarnage]

So with Cate being gone, her segments have turned into As the Trailer Turns? Amber want to marry her drug-dealing boyfriend and have more kids she probably can't afford. And Amber being addicted to Adderall...I guess she figured it sounded more palpable.  

No airtime for McKenzie this week, I know she is pissed.

*In my Maury voice*

In the case of 30 years old Gary...Jodie,  you are not the father. 

SMH, looks like Gary's mom is shaping up to be Indiana's version of Marisol( one of Maury Povich's most infamous guest) 

[Mr. Miner]

Did this show really need another stupid piece of shit named Amber?

[poeticlicensed]

I won't miss Farrah's world salad.

Poor Gary. Poor Jody. Jody looked like he just had his family ripped away. Gary has the absolute right to know his biology, for his sake and his children's. Gary's mom is a cold unfeeling bitch who wears Christmas decor from Wal-Mart in her hair.

[ghoulina]

I laughed so hard, watching Maci act all tough about N&A, telling Bentley she's NOT going to quit. *cough*three days*cough*. 

Oh, ALSO hilarious? When she said she was super modest. I think your Vegas butt shaking would beg to differ. And I'm no prude about N&A. I don't see it similar to porn. At all. But come on...

 

Speaking of....Farrah. I've talked about MTV's hypocrisy enough. So I'm over it. But I just can't figure out why they are coming so hard for the adult stuff, when the treatment of production is grounds enough, IMO. 

So I kind of came to the conclusion that, for whatever reason, MTV wanted Farrah to leave of her own volition. Not outright fire her. And they knew she'd just keep demanding new producers and firing them and making things horrible. So they came up with this ultimatum to force her hand. That's the only thing I can think of. 

Won't be sorry to see her go. 

 

Gah, poor Gary. I was touched by how upset Kristina was. But did his mom seem pretty ambivalent?

Amber is such a joke. Going on about how pregnancy is so different now, because she's more mature. They're more of a family. So the dude you let knock you up after knowing him 5 minutes is more of a family than the guy who was there for you for YEARS??? And you still clearly don't know how to use a condom. So tell me again how you've matured?

 

So with Cate gone is this now the Amber Baltierra show? Wow. Her life is one hot mess. Both she and her beau were in jail. He was dealing. They're both newly clean (eh....) and talking about babies? Hold the fucking phone! 

Tyler reeks of anxiety. He doesn't need MORE chaos in his life. 

I have to say, I never see much between him and Cate, but I felt his face genuinely lit up when she called tonight. Poor Nova. She obviously thought she was supposed to have pictures for mom THEN. I hope everything can calm down for her soon. 

[ClassyCourtHeels]

Christ Almighty Gary's mom is a bitch. I'll be honest, I was in complete shock that he wasn't Gary's father. 

If yall have yet to see the insta of the new baby room for Amber you're in for a real treat once they show it. I can't find it but it was on the teen mom reddit a few weeks ago. OMG. Just wait. Of course her spirit animal is a sloth. 

 

It is scary there are people out there as dumb as Tyler's sister. All they do is fuck our gene pool and drain our tax dollars.

So much shade in showing Amber saying how Gary matured after they had the baby and then the clips of her being an asshole to him. 

She’s a rotten person. I want to feel bad for her, but I feel like the money and attention from MTV really just enables her. 

Still feeling like the wheels are coming off the TM bus. 

And St. Maci, I am a modest person. That means I wouldn’t ever be on a reality show and I would NEVER take my clothes off in front of a television camera. Modest doesn’t mean you married the guy you have two kids with. It doesn’t mean you keep your kid off a show that also features a woman who made a sex tape. Her delusion is epic.

[comments directed at MTV, not anyone here]

Yes, let's not go down that path MTV. Stick with child abuse, child neglect, emotional and verbal abuse along with DV upon partners in front of children and on camera. Your reputation is fucking solid when you show your "stars" driving under the influence of meth and heroin and then there is Maci as she texts and drives. Keep your reputation intact, MTV! Let's not forget animal abuse that has been running rampant on this series season after season. How many PSA's have you had to insert into this show MTV? I remember the one pertaining to animal abuse after Jenelle's abuse of her dogs in the cages. Then, there were at least three PSA's pertaining to domestic violence. I forgot how many were shown regarding drug abuse. The most recent PSA occurred when Ryan was driving under the influence. Keep up the good job, MTV. Your reputation is not soiled in the least. That is much, much better than associating with a webcam girl whose outside work does NOT appear on your weekly show. 

Jenelle is notorious for her tweets against MTV. I don't recall MTV airing her shit. Amber has done the same on Twitter AND in interviews. She threatened to walk if MTV did not give in to her demands. I sure don't remember MTV airing any of that on the air. The cast and crew have been threatened by UBT and Matt. MTV did not bat an eye and give them an ultimatum nor did they share their social media posts.  Oh, and then there is the time Amber stomped on over to try and beat up Farrah on stage. Not one person at MTV defended Farrah or gave Amber her walking papers. Forget all that. MTV will go after Farrah and show her malicious tweets. 

[ClassyCourtHeels]

If anyone wants to see future Amber watch Young and Pregnant and witness the trashiness that is Shen. 

The Teen Mom OG/2 girls might be shaking in their boots because Young and Pregnant delivered tonight. They could very well be out of jobs. MTV has some much cheaper replacements with trashier sidekicks.

What did I just watch?

 

Did a producer actually tell Farrah with a straight face that, "out of 9 moms, you're the only one that's the problem?"   Unless the other 8 moms are all Chelsea, I find that really hard to believe.

 

And did Amber, a woman who left her couch at home to go sit on a couch in Hawaii, really pick a world traveler theme for her son's nursery so he could realize "that there was a whole big world out there?"

 

And did Tyler actually brush Nova's hair?

Sorry if this was asked and answered. Regarding Tyler's sister's addiction to Adderall. Is "Adderall" code for another drug? I know Adderall is very addicting, if abused, but I didn't just fall off a turnip truck.

I took it to mean that she's the only one who makes the producers' jobs a nonstop hell. That's probably not 100% true because: Jenelle, but for the most part, the others don't seem to treat the crew too horribly even if they're monsters to other people. Jenelle, Kailyn, and Amber all seem to have short fuses and I wouldn't poke any of those hornets' nests, but Farrah is truly on another level. She's delusional, weird, confused, angry, defensive, offensive, mean, stupid, aggressive, smug, and nasty at all times. As I've said before, I think she does have an actual processing disorder, and probably a mental illness or six, so I try to have some sympathy, but it's all theoretical. In reality, she's my least favorite TM by a mile. (I don't count Briana because she's not canon and I don't watch her segments because she's so gross.) I can't stand Farrah, I don't "admire her hustle," I think she's a shitty parent, and I don't wish her well. Sorry. [That wasn't all aimed at you, KitKat, just a general screed.]

She ain't right in the head. That's for sure.

And the thing ON her head really ain’t right.  

It’s like she got the whole he’s-not-your-kid dinner confused with a baby shower from hell and thought she had to wear all the present gift wrap ribbons on her head and around her wrist.

More importantly, does that hair bow have a Twitter account yet?

(Not gonna lie, though: I cried when Kristina read the DNA results. Which is funny, because I’ve spent 20+ years responding to people who suggest that maybe my father (with whom I have no relationship) is a sane and lovely person now and that I should consider giving him a chance that, “Hey, maybe he is. And I’m sure there are millions of other random men his age whom I don’t know either, and I’ve never once felt compelled to chat one of them up on the street to find out if they’re sane and lovely and want to not be strangers, and they didn’t spend the first half of my life being knowingly batshit and evil, so, while my odds are better off with some random street dude, I’m not planning to start chatting up strangers to fill some non- existent void now” (i.e., biology don’t mean shit to me).

But it clearly did to Gary (and Jody), and so my heat broke for them a bit. (And then, how da fuq did Jody become convicted of a crime for not keeping up with child support when Gary’s sociopath-wrapped-in-a-literal-bow mother straight up said (that she said back in the day) that she wasn’t “sure” who da daddy? Maybe she met guys in Walmart parking lots, too. Poor Gary. I really hope his relationship with Kristina and daughters is as good as it’s depicted, ‘cause he sure had no models for how to partner or parent in any acceptable manner, let alone a great one, and somehow he seems to have figured out both.

And LOLZ to Amby for telling nuMatt how having a baby will change him/make him grow up, just like she saw it did to Gary. No mention of its impact on herself (between that and the sloth, maybe she’s slightly less dumb than I thought?) Of course, no acknowledgement of WHY Gary had to become Superdad (and, if he doesn’t want BedroomTraveler to become a feral child, why nuMatt, too, will suddenly have to learn how to become the sole parent), so maybe not THAT much less dumb, but it was a baby step for Amber, and she was probably never saw a real one from her own Booger Butt, as they’re hard to see from jell or her couch or whatevs, so that’s almost self-taught. Maybe she can start eating in a haute chair next.

[FlowerofCarnage]

So Maci plans to forgo alcohol for 3 weeks? Lol maybe Naked & Afraid is low-key way to get help for addiction to alcohol. Rehab without having to go to rehab. 

[Emkat]

Gary's mother was not the least bit surprised with the test results. I feel like she knew all along Jody wasn't the father and it was incredibly cruel of her to let them believe that he was all this time. No wonder she was less than thrilled with his marriage proposal.

I lost interest in the Maci storyline, as soon as she started it off by acting like she was a "normal" person who applied for a reality show & randomly got picked. The 4th wall is already broken...don't act like you sent in a video to Big Brother amongst the rest of us bottom feeders! ?

No words for the Baltierra family dinner. Kim & her boyfriend both seem relatively normal. I guess Tyler took after her & Amber takes after Butch?

I think Amber & the sloth was a shout-out...right after she said it was her spirit animal, she laughed & said "fuck everybody".

Can we just talk about how Maci was all holier than thou, judging Farrah for taking her clothes off on camera and literally pulling her child off the show as a temper tantrum type “protest” because she didn’t want him to be associated with such vulgarity....but now she is on a show called Naked and Afraid?  So Bentley will be made fun of for being on the same show as someone who gets naked on camera, but it’s not even a concern when his own mother is doing it?  I get that porn is a whole different ballgame but wouldn’t those same kids make fun of Bentley for his mom running around naked in the woods on tv?

 

Also, Carol had no fucks to give.  I wasn’t expecting a Maury run off the stage moment but she didn’t even look surprised or worried about how they were handling the news.
