S08.E28: Forgot About Dre

[druzy]

Briana asks an ex to take care of her after her plastic surgery but Javi isn’t happy.

Leah and Kailyn meet up for a podcast.

Jenelle spends one-on-one time with Jace at therapy.

Aubree and Cole go off to another Father/Daughter dance.

[CaliforniaLove]

Why does it seem like Aubree's school has 57 "Father/Daughter" dances per year?

Why is Javi even on the show, let alone having his name in the episode description?

I was thinking the same thing! I know I'm in the minority,  but I think they are stupid.  Let's highlight all of the kids without involved dads even more. The ones who have involved dads can do other things with them.  I hate the whole "date" thing.

I'm glad these didn't exist when I was Aubree's age. My dad died when I was four, and both of my grandfathers died before I was born. For kids in that situation, what do they do, just not go?

[monagatuna]

As much as I dislike Briana, I have to give her props for giving us this delightful episode title. Didn't we all, indeed, forget about this particular Dre?

[FairyDusted]

LMAO! The title put me in the mood for Rap, Weed and Oh shit make snacks kinda mood.

They tend to film certain times a year for them. For example, we almost always see Halloween and Bentleys Birthday.  

 

Anything Javi makes me stabby. I will return to my first statement. 

[druzy]

Does Jenelle have the Chickenpox? 

[druzy]

The Housewives do the fake vacation setups much better.

Sweet little Aubree is the best part of this show.  I wish her nothing but sparkly unicorns, fluffy newborn kittens, and chocolate chip cookies that are still warm from the oven.

Because of course that gross bitch hooked up with Javi.  Of course she did.  Ugh.  I wonder what life is like as a complete and total ho.  

[TexasGal]

Jace will have a cup of sugar and cup of caffeine.  Is he going to Barb for her to deal with aftermath of that or what?

OMG, Briana’s mom kissing her like that is so totally normal....ewh.

Why wasn't the title of this episode "Thirsty" instead of last week? Because Javi is MAD THIRSTY! Anywhere the camera is that's where he's sure to show up.

He's insufferable isn't he? For once I was actually #TeamBriana. Go away Javi!!

[FlowerofCarnage]

Nice try, Jenelle! Everyone knows that had Lurch not been given his walking papers, your  scenes would consist of  you two bitching about Nathan, Barb or your sinking trailer with the kids wandering aimlessly in the background. 

Javi isn't stalking you Bri, he is stalking camera time. 

[luvbadtv]

Poor Jace - he can't even go to therapy without having his mom drill him about it on camera.  Sort of defeats the purpose.  Janelle seemed so awkward interacting with him.

Seemed more like a friend or maybe a sister.  Definitely not like mom/son.  Janelle sounded just like Barb when she said "Multi tasking mahm."  

The podcast seems dreadfully boring.

I don't mean to snark on someone we don't even know (have we met him before?) but what's Collin's deal?

I did enjoy how right after Jenelle said that, they cut to Barb's house.

While they still need to cut Jenelle loose, the absence of Lurch made her scenes 10x easier on the ole' BP.

Kail's podcast is painful.

This year's father/daughter dance was was so excit....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Anyone sleeping with Kail is gross to me.

Leah and Chelsea are fine.

Briana is stupid but I might be the only one on here that likes her family dynamic. It’s nice to see them accepting Devoin back in. Maybe I’m just being wishy washy.

Jenelle’s brother! WHAAAT. He seems slow, maybe it's a side effect of medication.  

Ever since I saw (and was horrified by) Jenelle’s episode of 16 and pregnant, I’ve been blown away by her lack of maternal instinct. I think therapy with her and Jace is a great and necessary thing. That kid will need a lot of therapy, hopefully not just one on one with his birth mother. I think the show ending will benefit Jace that most. 

[Linny]

David may not be making any more appearances on the show, but Jenelle sure as fuck was channeling his spirit in the car talking about the NRA. Her self-satisfied smirk was nauseating. She's bragging about supporting a person's right to defend themselves, yet can't clue in to the fact that the man who sleeps in her bed every night is the most likely threat to her safety. I worry so much about Jace and the other kids growing up in this pro-gun environment, because I have little faith that David institutes proper usage or safe storage of his weapons. It's bad enough thinking about David hurting the kids with his fists, but the possibility of one of the kids accidentally hurting themselves or someone else with a gun is all too real and scary.

Across the entire collection of Teen Mom freakshows and trainwrecks, Jenelle was always BY FAR the least maternal person I saw.  There's no gentleness to her whatsoever and she always gave off the vibe she'd rather be anywhere else than with even 1 of her kids.  I always got the feeling she didn't really want custody of Jace... she just felt she should appear to want custody of Jace.  I wish she would come to the realization that Jace is better off with Barb full-time and that should be the final scene of the series.  (I also wish trees were made of chocolate and grass tasted like Lucky Charms marshmallows.)

Agreed.  I might be looking too closely at stuff, but I think the editors put Aubree’s gymnastics moves, which weren’t really that graceful, in slo-mo - to be kind.  Cuz she’s so sweet.  

[Meatball]

Oh Janelle, could you be any more awkward with your own son? It pained me to see Jace try so hard to be enthusiastic about the restaurant and the table view when he was just trying to be comfortable around a stranger he has to call “mom.” And I hate the way Janelle tries to make mundane things like eating a restaurant like it’s the most special thing ever but her intonation is too flat to pull off any true excitement.

“Look at this TABLE, Jace. How cool is this? And it’s by a WINDOW. This is so cool, dude.” 

The kid is old enough to order for himself, but I’m not sure why I would expect her to know about age development goals. And holy shit, Jenelle needs an adult to order for her son because she fucked that up too. Milk and/or water is age appropriate and it’s probably cheaper. Either the coke OR the virgin drink but not both, you dumb fuck.

I think Aubree and Leah (Teen Mom OG) are the most well-adjusted kids on these shows. Bentley is next but he has a mom who will talk on camera about his shitting habits so he’s gotta be a little fucked up by that. Still a sweet kid though. I just find myself smiling during the scenes with Aubree and Leah’s families.

Yes, and apparently Jace was thirsty, too.

[eskimo]

How very nice that Jace has to go to therapy to get any one-on-one time with his mom.  If I remember correctly it's one of the 'pros' that Jenelle was droning on about, while Jace wanted to talk about anything but.  It's disgusting the way his privacy is violated in this way.  Same with Gracie.  The fact that a kid is even in therapy should be on a need-to-know basis.  Ugh.

NPR had a segment this Saturday about guns, and they discussed how most parents would worry about having their kids visit a friend if they knew there were guns in the friend's house...but...surprisingly, a child is 100(!) times more likely to die from visiting a house with a swimming pool than a house with guns.  

The first thing that I thought about was Jeanelle and her pool - I had no idea that there were so many drowning deaths.  

Last week, the videos that she posted with Kaiser just in water wings and End Table with no flotation device, at all, when poolside, made me so uncomfortable...and that was before I heard the grim statistics.

(I don't disagree with Linney's comment, at all - David would fall into the bottom 1% of gun owners, with respect to safe practices, based on the videos we've seen).

Those poor kids.

[Christina]

Man, I just saw a tweet that said something about Jenelle and the gun in the car while driving with Jace, and got my hopes up that it was the attempted kidnapping that required her to follow a man home with a gun pulled. I mean, he wasn't kidnapping her correctly so it was nice of her to help him out and all. Since it's not being mentioned here, I'm guessing it was fake news trying to get me to click on it. Booooo

The timelines of these shows run so far behind real-time, unless they don't, and they are rarely linear, so I'm not positive if what I'm about to say was happening when this was filmed. Also, he did make an appearance once in the earlier seasons when he went with Barb to check out Jenelle's new house or something.

Colin has schizophrenia and was living in a group home. The medications he was taking to help control his symptoms changed and he ended up relapsing(? not sure if that is the word) with his mental health destabilizing (?really not trying to be offensive, I don't know the right words). He started using drugs, ran away from the group home, ended up back in the hospital to stabilize on the meds, and was staying with Barb while waiting to get back into another assisted living/group home type place. It played out on social media. It's happened three or four times that I'm aware of but think he only had to stay with Barb for short periods after. He does seem to visit with her and Jace a lot, though, and she's taken Colin on vacation with her and Jace before.

[elsie]

Is it mandated somewhere that in each and every episode, an adult in poor Aubree's life has to ask her if she is excited?

 

( I realize in the world of all the other Teen Mom offspring this is really trivial, but it bugs me. I'd just love it if one of those times she just answered in that sweet, deep voce she says, "No, not particularly." )

Were we surprised that was his go-to childhood memory with Janelle?

It seemed to me like he was trying to make a case for himself to stay with/ live with Barb.

[zenme]

Yeah, I thought that scene with Barb and son were hilarious. She was trying to talk to him about how close Collin and his sister used to be, and Collin kept bringing up stuff that just made them look like a weird family. Barb kept looking at him like "What the fuck are you even talking about?"

[mscav]

What was with the photographer and the glam make up for a podcast with Kail and friends? The rude co-host asking if Leah and Jeremy were in love at their wedding and then Kail answering for her. Poor Leah looked so uncomfortable. And Kail complaining about how long it's been since she went on vacation!!! She lives on vacation. She spends more time on vacation then she does at home. 

Janelle looked and sounded psychotic. Unpopular opinion but I really don't think Uncle Collin living with Jace and Barbara is a good idea.  He has enough instability in his life. 

Chelsea had a cute family. 

Bri is fast forward material. 

[ghoulina]

I never get sick of seeing Cole and how sweet he is with Aubree about the father-daughter dance. I love that he gets a haircut and brings her flowers and goes all out. He's showing her how her future boyfriends SHOULD treat her. Thank God that's the prime example she's getting, and not the abusive shit her father reigned down on Chelsea for years. I hope Cole has a lasting impact, so Aubree doesn't repeat the cycle. 

I also love that he's the one dad out there, dancing and acting silly. Life's too short! 

 

Juxtapose Cole's night out with Aubree against Jenelle's with Jace. Such a striking difference. Jenelle was really trying to play "involved mommy", but it came off so forced and....weird. It honestly felt like I was watching a girl on her first date. It was creepy! Her interactions with Jace are just so off. And Jace just half-heartedly parrots what she says back to her, hoping this night will be over soon. 

What was up with her walking 2 miles into the swamp to have a conversation with her friend? Is that how she has to work around not filming with David any more? Maybe one day she'll get lost. 

 

I was kind of hoping for a Germy/Leah reunion, but oh well. They do seem to get along really well as friends and co-parents, and that's better than a lot of exes can say. Just quit with the hooking up! 

I imagine Germy went party shopping with Leah, had Mary Kay flashbacks, and decided he was good right where he was. 

 

I continue to be amazed that anyone would listen to Kail's podcast. It sounds so pointless, and she's not articulate at all. Maybe I should record my sisters and myself when we sit around playing board games and gossiping? 

I would NOT compare Kail-Javi to Leah-Germy. I think the Leah-Germy relationship is a lot more pure. I know that sounds wrong, given they hooked up. I just mean, I think their intentions are mostly pure. I think they both genuinely have a love for each other, but just know it wouldn't work out again. There's still an attraction there, an easiness about it. With Kail and Javi, the situation is a lot more messy. Kail doesn't give a fuck about Javi. Hooking up with him was just a way to "top" Briana and dominate Javi. She wants him under her little thumb. And Javi....homeboy doesn't know what the fuck he wants. (More on that later)

I find it hilarious that Kail and Leah are planning a trip to Hawaii and Leah's all, "I've never taken a trip without the kids that wasn't for work" (which I believe) and Kail's all, "Yea...." (she's trying HARD to empathize with this, but all she can come up with is) - "I haven't taken a vacation since Lux was born...." (cut to shot of barely crawling baby)...".....and he'll be one.....at the end of the summer." 

Nice try, Kail. You are constantly on vacation! 

 

So, back to Javi - what is WRONG with him? He ends things with Bri, he didn't approve of the Dr. Miami thing anyhow, but he still has to show up to her surgery and swing his dick around, so some other dude isn't nursing Briana back to health???? This is BRIANA we're talking about here. Let her nasty ass go. 

Javi is young. He only has one kid. He's in good shape. He has a good job. If he stopped acting like such a whack-a-do, he could find someone better than Briana. 

Devoid is NUTS to offer to stay at the Coven's house over night. Even for one night. I'd be surprised if he made it out alive.

The only moment when Jace seemed genuinely happy is when Janelle told him David wasn't coming to dinner. Right now, the cameras are his best friend, when they're around, it means David is not.

They're only accepting Devoid back in because they have bigger fish to fry right now. Javi is currently in the hottest seat, having just ended things with Briana and talking about it on Kail's podcast. Luis is next in line, because he's the father of the youngest baby. Devoid wins by default. It won't last.

Well, he's already knocked someone else up, so there goes that!

Devoid has to make a TM appearance to collect some coins, so his feigning care about what actually goes on with Nova is perfect timing.

I was actually thinking Kailyn was going to dig around Javi's place when he was gone, and apparently that thought crossss her mind. I'll bet lunch that she actually did rummage through his stuff. We all know that if Javi did something like that to Kailyn, she would completely go Hulk Smash. I wonder wear Soapy was.

None of these idiots knows how to have a conversation. If we took a shot every time one of these brain dead mannequins said "are you excited?" we'd die of alcohol poisoning. How about tossing in a "you must be looking forward to it" or a "this should be fun" or a "have you ever done this before?" or a "what do you like most about it?"  or even "how are you feeling about this?" or anything that's not "are you excited?"

Brianna and the coven are all taking a page out of Kail's book. Who's in? Who's out? They play all these losers like its some dumb game. One's in favor, one's out of favor, one's potential boy toy of the hour, but just to get under the skin of one of the others. They move them around like checkers.

Kail is so dreadful. She's such a pushy, graceless, trashy skank. Her podcasts are so dull, yet cringeworthy in their trashiness. You can get away with being vulgar if you're witty. Kail would not know wit if it bit her on the ankle. Never have I seen anyone so completely lacking in humor.

Javi. Classic stalker. "You're not going to hug me, I came all this way!" Fuck off Javi. Brianna owes you nothing. You made the decision to chase down to Miami. Now you look the fool. Hahahahahaha.

Thank you! I thought we were talking about this Hawaii trip months ago so I was wondering what the hell Kail was talking about with her Lux is about to be one at the end of the summer BS. Kudos to her for being savvy enough to realize that the episode would not air until July so people might buy her BS without question, I guess. 

Also I laughed out loud when she showed up at Leah's hotel room to go out to dinner dressed liked she had just spent the last 3 weeks sitting on her couch eating chips and crying over a breakup when Leah was dressed like a normal person going out to dinner. What happened to Kail's outrage over the laziness of people who have the audacity to wear sweatpants in their own home on a Sunday afternoon?

My nephews around that age love to order steak too but that plate was FULL of food! And then you could tell he barely ate any of it.  So now I think Jenelle told him to order that (or ordered for him) with the plan to take it home to David since it was obviously a free meal.

So true about Kail and her podcast....she set Leah up and sandbagged her. Leah told her about her hook up with Jeremy then Kail asks her on the podcast if they had hooked up or want to....wow...what a great friend. She used her dinner date with Leah as "research" for her podcast. I feel sorry for Leah...she seems a little naive and too trusting. Kail is no friend to you Leah. She totally set up the call from Jeremy to the podcast. Kail has no ethical or moral compass whatsoever...deceive and use your friends, cheat on your boyfriends/husbands/girlfriends, hook up with your ex husbands...nothing seems to be off limits for her. And oh...boo hoo you haven't had a vacation since your last baby was born a year ago...boo hoo hoo. Didn't she take a vacation to Puerto Rico before the baby was born? Since the Hawaii vacation that MTV probably paid for she's been on least two more. I'm sorry, this girl nauseates me...
