Catelynn
I suffer from anxiety and depression, so it is interesting to me how Catelynn manages to motivate for things like going to the VMAs in LA and leaving her kids behind with Tyler. And yet, here she is in sunny California. I mean on the one hand it is good for her to get out into the sun and have some fun, it’s just hard to muster the energy to do those things in my experience. Tyler meets his mom for lunch and they are both glad she took advantage of the experience. Tyler isn’t into that sort of thing. The also agree that Butch is using again and dealing with him is exhausting.
Tyler wants to confront Butch about going to rehab. When he finds him at his new house working on a fence. He asks him if he is ready to go to rehab. So that is good.
Maci
Taylor and Maci are wanting to rent an office for their business because it is impossible to get anything done in the house these days with all the kids. Later, as they are driving to look at spaces, Maci noticed that one of their shirts that says “Property of Los Angeles” is misspelled. It’s a crisis and they have to get online to take the product down. I appreciate that this is a major issue for them and there is no finger-pointing. Taylor says this is a learning experience and they need to add another thing to their final checklist. She says he needs to do some damage control. No voices were raised. Later they find a cute little office that is perfect for the business, it’s sort of a small business commune with a kitchen with coffee and beer included in the rent. They love beer! So they took it.
Mack is tooling down the road much faster than Ryan would like as it appears that she has taken over driving. Ryan is complaining about car sickness and laying back in his seat. Ryan has asked her super nicely three times to slow down but she won’t. Then she screams at him that she is not going to let him talk to her like that. We get a lot of interesting footage when they are in the car on long trips and assume the car ride will not make it to air. Apparently, they are going to Chattanooga where Mack is from. When she gets there she films a scene about Ryan’s short temper with her friend.The video tape proves she is the one with the short temper. She tells her friend that marriage is not all she thought it would be. Being married to a heroin addict is not fun. Who could have guessed that?
Later Ryan and Mack meet for lunch in Chattanooga. Apparently she spent the day getting her hair done. He’s being really nice to her and asking about her day, while she plays on the phone. He tells her how much he appreciates her and all of her support and how much regret he has for the burden he has put on her and his parents and Maci and Bentley. He seems a lot better. Unless he is lying. And how could you ever trust him?
Amber
Our other depression sufferer, Amber who was in the bed for months too down to even call her kid, is also at the VMAs with her latest con artist, Andrew, for their first public appearance. Andrew apparently has no home of his own. His parents live in Malibu.
Gary shows up to the VMAs well and is already being asked about his feelings about Amber’s new man. I have never seen so many photographers in one small space. The amount of attention they are getting is amazing. There are throngs of screaming fans. I’m in shock. Andrew loved it. Who could have guessed that?
Once back home, Andrew gets to meet Leah and Gary that family for the first time when he comes to pick up Amber. #FoolsRushIn
Farrah
Sophia and Farrah have some sort of modeling job for New York Fashion Week. For an extra dose of stupidity, Debra is tagging along. I am dying to see who in the hell would want this trainwreck associated with their brand. How does Debra have an EMBA? Farrah starts making fun of her for including her degree on her wedding invitations. Debra is not in the door two minutes before Farrah is screaming at her about bringing negativity into her life. Sophia immediately starts acting out. Later a very large drag queen comes to give Sophia tips for her runway walk. She seems terrified. He gave the worse advice ever. This is so ridiculous. Farrah bitches at her mother all the way to the event.
Apparently, the fashion show is really a hair show for Style The Runway hair products. Sophia actually did great, with a little help from Farrah.
Next week, Farrah takes her mother all the way to Italy to be verbally abusive toward her in front of her child.
Andrew looks like he could grow to be on my 600lb life in a few months. And the smug face. Amber used to have my sympathy, but she’s as bad as Jenelle. Man v kids.
Twilly, he’s an odd ball hunh?
Really stood out, his behavior last episode.
He was like a little kid at the VMA’s.
He’s a bit like a man-boy.
He’s acting like this is a dream or he won a sweepstakes to participate in TeenMomOg, lol.
And no kid’s, but got her preggers very, very fast. Immature behavior a bit right there. She doesn’t need to replace Leah, I just see flashing red lights.
Butch looked rough! Hope he gets to rehab soon.
Debra and her permanent baby talk voice, Ugh! Like nails on a chalkboard.
Farrah is so damn miserable it’s not even funny, she’s always rude to her mother and that shit pisses me off. Her mom could simply say Hi to her and she’ll say something smart out of her mouth and it’s irritating as hell. And on top of her being disrespectful, now Sophia is being disrespectful to her grandmother now to and it’s not right. I see right through Maci and her passive aggressive ass, and I’m happy that Ryan saw the flaw in his ways and all he’s put his family through. I feel like amber is lost and needs to find herself and do some soul searching, the comment Gary made about her new relationship only lasting two weeks was uncalled for. I wanna see him put the food down for about two weeks and see how much his belly goes down, Catelynn and Tyler are my favorites and do no wrong in my eyes and I’m praying butch gets back on the right track.
Where to start with all these trainwrecks!?!? Ryan was high as a mf kite during his “apology” to Mack. Can’t say as I blame him. I’d be high too if I was married to that miserable hag! Just got her hair done? Really? Get your money back, girl cuz it looks like sh*t! I like Ryan & I really hope he gets better. Next up: Farrduh & her evil spawn Sophia. Sorry, but that is the absolute last child who needsto be “modeling” on a runway!! Hate me all you want, but that poor child is just fugly!! Maybe if she weren’t such a brat, I would have some sympathy for her, but I don’t! And Farrduh is just a horrible, wretched excuse of a human, much less a mother!! Amber…same story just a different dude. Ty & Cate….don’t really care.
Am I the only one who thinks Ryan is fucked up/high when he films with Mack and apologizes? I’ll lick TT’s shoe if he’s sober. That’s why he won’t do a drug test.
Noooo, you aren’t!!! Lol. On the TM FB page EVERYONE was commenting that he was effed up/high.
**Ryan looking high”. I was looking for this EXACT comment. Thought I was the only one… I feel so bad for her, I feel bad for him as well this is going to be a very long uphill battle This does not “cure itself” overnight. It’s a complete change of lifestyle. You can see the disappointment in her eyes
I don’t feel bad for her. I think she knew 100% he was using the entire time. She just wants to cash those MTV checks. Just wait. She’s gonna be knocked up here real soon. Guaranteed money. Cha-ching! She’s awful!
I thought she looked mad. Her happy ending story and being the cure of his hatred and drug induced trauma by dealing with Maci looks like it is not going to happen.
I truly believe she thought she would come in and be an angel saving Ryan from himself and Maci.
I don’t think that was his plan, and she probably never told him what he was supposed to do.
The manipulative one in this situation I do believe is Mackenzie.
Sadly, Ryan looks like he needs to go back to rehab. Mackenzie needs to just go away.
I was kind of surprised as well with Catelynn. She is lucky to be able to go to events and live her life.I can’t even hit the grocery store. Maybe seeing Carly helped? I try to be sympathetic, but at times both her and Amber, I am just confused.
I am noticing that I get a knot in my stomach when Sophia is exposed to Debra’s beat down from Farrah, which is guaranteed. So disturbing. Needs to stop. I was googling EMBA and didn’t quite understand. Is it one up from a MBA and few receive it?
It’s an MBA for people who have had lots of work/professional experience…. supposedly.
That kid is going to be in therapy for the rest of her life! The way Farrah talks to her mom is APPALLING!!! I just can’t!!!! Thought about ranting today but it’s just too cold… Hope everyone is well and staying warm ❤️
I’ve spent many many years as a college student. My family used to mock me about it. I truly never wanted to leave college. So then I taught at podunk colleges all over the place. Three of my parents five kids got masters degrees. And I have never heard of an EMBA. I googled it enough to just make sure it is a thing but didn’t look into it any farther.
I just never saw a good definition to explain what it is.
Kind of used you TT. If worthy of an explanation, you’d say.
Thank you. ?
Debra is a,strange bird but she loves her granddaughter so much and sophia was very close and loved her too. That’s really sad. I know how deep a grandmothers love can run. Poor thing.
I have dealt with depression and anxiety for years, and I literally cannot do anything when I’m in the thick of it, it’s absolutely debilitating. Getting up and showering is a big fricking deal. So it amazes me that Catelynn and Amber manage to get themselves together to go to the Video Music Awards. Even when I’m in an okay place, doing things that requires me to interact with others is still too much. I don’t doubt these two are going through things, but I wonder if it’s as severe as they make it sound. Especially since they seem to do fine on vacations.
I usually am fairly sane and normal on vacations except for the tears of joy. LOL. But it is pretty impossible for me to get there anymore. I literally cried, rocked back and forth, hyperventilated and drank my ass off for two weeks before my last trip to Paris. I was crying on the phone drunk to anyone who would listen saying I can’t do it, I can’t do it. It’s too much.
