The main course of this week’s TMOG was Amber’s (now ex-fiance) Matt acting like an immature, selfish prick at his fake friends’ fake wedding in Vegas. The appetizer was a bunch of stupid clothing companies and Farrah’s ridiculous hypnotherapy. For dessert, we were treated to a nasty rumor that Ryan is on drugs, (which I hate, even though it would explain his crazy eyes). Let’s dig in!
Catelynn
Tyler and Cate are potty training Nova, who seems to hate having the cameras around cuz she keeps running into her room and slamming the door. That must be rough. At least she’s wearing a shirt this week. They have a conversation about starting a kids clothing line. Their discussions are strange because they interrupt, talk over each other and sound like they’re arguing even when they agree.
Tyler finds a business consultant online and talks to her about registering the name of the company. He wants to call it Tierra Rain because their last name is Baltierra and Nova’s middle name is Rain. Everything in their lives must have stripper names. Later, Butch is fresh from a meeting with his parole officer and they leave Nova with him to go meet with a seamstress for the clothing line. Awesome choice of babysitter. They look at fabric swatches and Tyler talks about how he loves that “urban style” for boys, while Catelynn likes “that hippy style” for the girls. I like these guys and I’m glad they are trying to do something. On the other hand, I’m sick of all these fools acting like spending nearly a decade in their sweats on camera and collecting a check from MTV makes them experts on the fashion industry.
Farrah
Debra is back at Farrah’s. There’s no explanation given for this, although I suspect Farrah fired the nanny, even though she doesn’t discriminate or do hate crimes (sorry, I can’t let that one go). Farrah is going to hypnotherapy and Debra offers to go with her. Farrah’s healthy, normal response is to YELL at her and ask her why she needs hypnotherapy. Instead of the obvious answer which would be, “To improve our relationship.” Debra mumbles something about getting over a phobia (we all know she’s afraid of her daughter, what’s the word for that?). Farrah says she needs hypnosis to find a better person to date. What she really means is she wants to stop screwing Simon every time they’re in the same city. Give me a break! As long as Simon’s on the payroll, his sleazy ass is gonna be around.
So Farrah and Deb go to the hypnotherapist, who reminds me of a cross between an auctioneer and a used car salesman. He picks up on the static between mother and daughter right away and, like any good con man, manipulates them. His method of “therapy” is to talk really soft and fast and lead them in a guided meditation that is supposed to magically erase all their problems immediately.
Farrah must be trying to score roles in Lifetime movies because she puts on an act like no other. She gets a crazy person grin on her face, and “wakes up” saying she feels so light and happy and giggling. It’s moronic. Based on her experience with the hypnosis, Farrah makes a list of things she’s looking for in a man. Number one is “intellectual depth” and now I’m the one giggling. Farrah meets Simon for dinner and breaks up with him for the 348th time.
Amber
Amber and Matt’s hired friends Wayne and Annette are hanging around Amber’s house. Everyone has a dog or two on their lap. It must smell nice in there. Wayne and Annette’s wedding in Vegas is approaching and Amber and Matt are going. In Vegas, the foursome visits the Little White Wedding Chapel and Matt pretends he is so caught up in the rented suits, fake flowers and tacky crystal that he wants to marry Amber immediately. Like now—as in make it a double wedding. To be real, the “friends” are clearly just props designed to hold up this storyline, but still!
Because she has developed a tiny shred of sanity in the last nine years, Amber has serious reservations about getting married suddenly and without her family. Matt says he already texted with Leah to see if it was okay and she said yes. A quick segment with Leah indicates that her answer was actually “no no no.” Amber calls her brother “Bubba” who gently advises against it.
Matt flips out. He dumps about 50 years worth of carefully crafted manipulation, guilt trip and flat-out crazy on Amber. He claims to be humiliated, tells producers he won’t ever marry Amber now and (here’s my favorite) accuses her of wanting to marry her brother and uses a nasty gay slur. He later takes the producer aside and asks tells her he doesn’t care who she has to “have oral pleasure with” to keep his tantrum off TV. There’s no low too low for this guy.
During the aftershow, Amber reveals that the wedding planning is currently at a halt, but she doesn’t come right out and say she and Matt are broken up. She claims they’re in therapy and working through issues. I’m pretty sure she’s being evasive because the whole shit show is going to play out on camera.
Maci
Maci and Taylor are hard at work on their clothing company and they have a conversation about contraception. Later Maci gets a text message from somebody claiming to have some “really serious information” about Ryan. there is an implication that it’s drug-related. Maci says she needs to protect Bentley and needs to get Jen and Larry involved. Wait, I thought she wanted them to butt out and Ryan to be a real parent. As much as I hate Ryan, this storyline seems manufactured. We’ll see how it plays out.
Meanwhile, Ryan and Mackenzie are looking at wedding venues for 250 people. He is completely disinterested and has a bad case of the crazy eyes. He’s not doing much to convince us that he’s a great guy. Then again, that’s his thing.
I have missed several episodes of this do to scheduling issues but I sure picked a good episode to tape this week.
WTF is going on here?
When did Amber get black parents? I could not stop thinking about this UNTIL Matt let ALL his crazy out. He thinks that Amber humiliated him because he suddenly decides he wants a Vegas Wedding? I was Sofa King confused about the whole Vegas thing. I didn’t realize they were there for the newly cast black parents to get married. I thought at first that Amber and Matt were choosing a wedding venue for some future date. I know that really doesn’t make sense but it was the only thing my brain could come up with. Then I realized that Matt was trying to get Amber to marry her RIGHT THEN and she clearly wasn’t down with it. But Matt just pretended like it was going down and Matt and Black Mama and Daddy just start hugging Amber like they are the happiest fiance/parents on the planet.
Then after Matt’s long outburst of the crazy, he tells the producer to suck whoever’s dick is necessary to keep any of this from airing?
This was a huge bag of the crazy.
And then, at the end of the show as sort of an aside, Maci says she can’t tell us about Ryan being a drug addict on TV, but he is and she needs to get him away from the kid and into rehab.
This episode delivered. And the hilarious Hypnotherapy scene that was a lesson in really bad acting by all three of them?
Priceless.
Lol ambers black parents !
I honestly thought that. I was unsure if I’d ever seen Amber’s parents, had missed many episodes and was like, Who is this black couple acting like her parents? It was JUST THAT BIZARRE TO ME.
Oh I agree with you! It is odd . I’ve been watching and I don’t know where these people came from. I remember Ambers mom from the older episodes . And Matt is so creepy trying to force a marriage, I think Amber is surrounded by leeches .
Neighbors from their new neighborhood, allegedly.
I don’t understand why there wasn’t more outrage on the aftershow about him asking that woman to give oral sex on his behalf. It was the most disrespectful thing that manchild could do. I wanted Larry Musnik to rip Matt a new one.
Thank you for this I have been waiting to discuss this with my other teen mom commenters. Matt looked like he was shit faced and his true self came out. He’s psycho. The way he kept pressuring her to get married was gross. I believe whole heartedly he’s trying to marry her and take all her money. WTF Ryan, is it heroin, pills what? I need more info on Ryan and the new fiance. Why is she marrying him if hes an addict? A whole Lotta crazy this episode.
The girl hosting the after show seems to hate Matt. She kept trying to talk shit about Matt and reminding Amber that Matt called her a psycho.
I was unable to see the aftershow and one of you is saying they didn’t go hard enough on Matt and the other is saying the host was too hard on Matt.
HOW CAN YOU BE TOO HARD ON MATT WHO TOLD A PRODUCER TO SUCK WHATEVER DICK NECESSARY NOT TO MAKE HIM LOOK BAD ON THE SHOW?
IDGI.
I dont think I said they went to hard on Matt. I thought it was great even the girl hosting the aftershow, you can tell she thinks Matt is a creep and she kept bringing stuff up to Amber to make her remember what Matt said about her.
I watched rhe after show. Amber thought Matt called her a bitch and asked them to roll the tape. Bad move when you don’t remember calling her a psycho.
Sadly, amber’s brother seems to be the one stable person in her life.
Thank God she had the mental capacity to say Hell no to Matt. I hope it’s permanent.
What’s up with these reality folks ” who we got to blow to …” mentalilty first Kim Z now Matt . Just crazy to me they think it’s ok to go around talking like that .
I wish Amber would dump Matt and MTV would dump Farrah. Some one needs to punch her right In the face.
I think Nova kept going in her room and shutting the door when she needed to go potty instead of going on the potty. Reminded me of when my kids used to hide in the corner to poop in their diaper. I hope Ty and Catelynn are successful. I really like them.
I honestly don’t see Ryan as a drug addict, maybe weed. But idk … I think Maci is the biggest pain in the ass and she met Ryan who is immature and has no emotion.
I think it’s crappy of Maci to vaguely bring up that Ryan has a problem. People automatically make the worst assumption. She should Either leave the issue alone or tell the whole story.
I just think Ryan had acted the same way since the beginning. He always was unreliable and spaced out . So idk
I agree she knew what she was doing.
When I saw what that skuzzy creep said to that producer I was pisssed. I’m not a pearl clutcher but that was uncalled for. If Amber wants to make excuses and give him a pass then she deserves whatever comes her way. Grown, strong women don’t stay with crap like Matt because they can’t admit they were wrong.
I am going to add to my post by saying that any man that takes advantage of a young woman that has struggled with addiction and has some mental issues is a special kind of lowlife.
Right… And now has her entertaining offers from Vivid to do porn…… He is the lowest of the lowest. No words
Amber & Tyler are creating a clothing line – yet their own child never has on clothes…..interesting idea.
Hell Butch even questioned if he was the most appropriate babysitter. Was I your first choice?!? lol
Ryan- drugs would sure explain all of his hour long disappearances; showing up late for events, going to the ATM and coming home 3 hours later, cell phone calls unanswered for hours on end. Would also explain, Jen & Larrys over protective nature, and why Larry was so upset with him.
Did Maci really think Mackenzie was going to sit and talk shit about Jen & Larry (her future in-laws) on camera with her? Of course she went back and told them everything that was said. She is still trying to be in their good graces (last weeks episode). Dumb move on Maci’s part. you weren’t complaining about Jen & Larry when they were babysitting Jayde (baby # 2) for you and Taylor. That’s not even their grandchild, and the supported you, attended the baby shower etc. I wished Maci would have just sat down and had a conversation with Jen about her concerns, and Bentley’s feelings. I felt both concerns were valid, but the way she shared them with Mackenzie made Maci look bad.
I agree it was unnecessary to allude to a potential drug problem. Maci always says she is watching out for and concerned for Bentley but she pretty much uses him as her crutch to talk badly about Ryan, Jen or Larry whenever she feels the need to be self righteous! And I have no sympathy for anyone who uses any type of gay slur. IF MTV had any class or respect they would call him out ON CAMERA and then remove his homophobic ass from the show.
Could not wait for the recap and TT to see this. This was such a great episode. (And recap) kudos to production for showing this fantastic fucked up episode (my favorite kind). Maci, was trying not to laugh talking to her husband about Ryan. I think it’s suggesting shooting meth or heroin. I’d be pissed if I was Jen and Larry. (I think it’s a line crosser if not true)
I mean production was good in showing everything except for the rumor and seriousness of Ryan, if true. Had no place then, or there.
I was hoping that Nessa would bring up the fact that Matt lied about Leah being happy about getting married in LV.
Also….. did the viewers get a different shot of the wedding venue view that Mackenzie thought was so beautiful? Maybe it’s just me but all I saw was a dry weedy lot.
Ryan’s new woman reminded me of someone, but I could never put my finger on it. Now I’ve got it, with that photo. She looks like Divine. I love it.
Ryan not only has crazy eyes but is bony and pale. I can’t believe this group of commenters sees Kathryn Dennis fucked up out of her mind at all times, but not this dude? Wow.
Obligatory “I hate Farrah” comment. Catelynn and Tyler make me kind of sad. And yes, every one of these Teen Moms having clothing lines is outlandish. Especially Catelynn and Tyler. I mean, come on.
I can’t believe that shit with Matt and Amber. Ha! He’s a soul-sucking asshole but wow, that’s some good TV.
Who missed the part that Leah told him yes yes yes… And in fact Leah told him no no now… Amber is an idiot wrapped in the moron shell., not only did he say he would never marry her… Call her brother A hateful slur… Insinuated she wants to marry your brother… Told us to producer .. suck somebody off so the taped it may sir..then he lied on Leah and said she told him it was OK to marry his mom… What s douche.
Now Matt claims that he relapsed and was doing pills
Really? Humm, do you think maybe the house of sober/not sober is falling apart? I didn’t say anything, but Amber looked super high at the chapel. Like obviously, shockingly so. They are planning on opening a facility, so that may be a joke they are playing on us, lol. I think something is up and Amber is not a melting flower (or whatever that expression). I think they are FRAUDS and to save themselves, he’s gonna be a bad guy, and Amber is gonna be the victim. She suddenly is suffering and so unaware. I just don’t buy it. AT ALL.
