Maci
It’s Halloween and Maci and Taylor have agreed to take all of the kids trick-or-treat like they always do going first to her parents neighborhood with Ryan’s parents (and this year with Ryan and Mack and her kid) and then to Ryan’s parents neighborhood. Ryan’s parents texted her that they are down with that and Maci even says it should be “fun.” As I recall, Ryan normally would be off somewhere getting drunk or high on Halloween and miss the whole thing or be very late. Perhaps this year will be different.
Mack tells production her plans for Halloween which includes taking her kid to his father’s to Trick or Treat at six. Sounds like Ryan will miss trick or treating with Bentley once again. She claims that Maci needs to start answering Ryan’s texts. I don’t believe her. Ryan’s mom calls and says that Maci is bringing Bentley and her kids to the neighborhood at 6. Ryan and Mack are there at 5 and have to leave before Bentley will get there. For some reason it doesn’t occur to Ryan to stay with his kid and have his parents take him home rather than leaving with Mack to get her kid to visitation by 6.
As Ryan and his parents go trick or treating with Mack and her kid in Maci’s parents’ neighborhood, Jen is pissed at Ryan about the entire situation. As Maci and that crew are pulling up in a gold cart, Mack is ripping off her microphone pack and taking Ryan with her to leave. Ryan hugs his kid and tells him goodbye and leaves with Mack. What a douche. Later, Ryan and Mack act like Mack’s kid was traumatized about not getting to trick or treat with Bentley. Ryan says that Maci keeps playing the victim. Their anger is placed everywhere except on Ryan and his drug use.
Amber
The latest guy to move in with Amber is already taking over all the housewife duties, and is cooking and cleaning while Amber talks about how tired she is from laying on the couch all day. He also suggests that pregnant Amber join him on a thirty-day cleanse and suggests she have the baby at home in the bathtub proving you can take the boy out of California…
Amber, Andrew, Gary and his wife and Leah go on a horror hayride. I am not sure why Gary allowed Leah to go, but she was the one telling Amber not to be afraid. Later, Gary and his wife discuss the their concerns about Amber’s pregnancy and her new relationship. Gary also hopes the kid is not really Matt’s. Hmmm.
Amber were to an OB/GYN and she learned she is 13 weeks pregnant. She got some nausea meds and diet restrictions. Andrew wants her to have a natural childbirth. Amber does not have any interest in that. Amber wants to know the baby’s gender on the next visit. Andrew wants to be surprised. Andrew keeps talking about gender neutral stuff for the baby. These two do not agree on anything. Andrew doesn’t shut up about the gender neutral crap.
Farrah
Apparently, Farrah still has the mini-horse and has added a bunch of chickens to her back yard. Her neighbors must be thrilled with this. She just found out that Jenelle’s ex, Courtland, has been invited to her mother’s Teen Mom Wedding Episode. Apparently, Courtland is in between prison stints. She’s also invited fans and Amber Portland. Farrah calls her mom and asks why she is inviting Courtland. She says only God can condemn people and Courtland has changed. She says everybody sins and she will have two armed security people on site. As one does at their wedding. Farrah tells her to shut up so she can unconfuse her brain. Her mom says she likes Jenelle. Farrah says she didn’t even invite Jenelle, but she invited Courtland. How does that make sense? It doesn’t.
Farrah and Michael have a long conversation about how messed up Debra is in the car with Sophia in the back seat listening.
Catelynn
Nova is once again used as a human billboard to announce her pregnancy to her mother. Tyler tells Butch and they discuss him going to rehab. The conversation alludes to Tyler’s sister being on drugs as well. Wow. Tyler has a lot on his plate. At first Butch says he is not ready.
Later, Tyler and Catelynn tell Butch she is pregnant. Butch has talked to the rehab place and found out that there is a pool and massages and all sorts of fancy stuff there. He will be doing 90 days in the rehab and then 90 days in a halfway house. Tyler says he will get it all set up for him. Tyler finds out it is $48K for the 90 days. Catelynn is fine with Tyler spending the money. Tyler is concerned he will pay the money and he will still not stay clean. I get him wishing he could know ahead of time if it would stick this time.
Tyler goes to pick up Butch the night before taking him to rehab from his old house where Butch has been living with Tyler’s sister and her kids. She definitely looks like a drug addict. It is so sad Tyler has so much responsibility. I sort of wish he could just move away to an island somewhere with his kids and Catelynn and relax and worry about his own family. His sister hints that she needs money and he has to go in the house to find Butch. The power has been shut off at the house. They are using candles and will probably burn the damn house down.
The next morning, Butch has a major meltdown about getting on the plane and going to rehab. He feels like he is abandoning his grandkids. He says the mother is not taking care of them. While it is probably true he has been doing the caregiving, he is also looking for reasons not to go to rehab.
You’re recap of this show always makes me want to watch but it’s all so damn depressing I don’t dare. I don’t know how you stomach it, though I’m sure you saw it all in your last “incarnation” in this lifetime. It’s probably a good idea I decided not to teach school.
It’s all so sad.
I agree,Tyler’s sis looks like an addict. Has this ever been addressed on the show? Anyow, the house was a mess and so was she. I feel for her poor kids…
I HATE that they are spending all that money on rehab! There are free rehabs
I wonder if Amber is off her meds (for depression and such) because she seems like she is slipping back into the old Amber, very edgy with Andrew, it is his first so I’m sure he has different thoughts and questions but it seems like she is already looking forward to the drugs knocking her out for the the labor, and she is already laying around again getting catered to just as she did with Gary, except he got the worse end of the deal by being her personal punching bag, next she’ll be thinking about having to get surgery to lose the weight after the baby. I agree with you all about Tyler has way too much on his plate, I was really hoping they would wait awhile before having another baby, just a few weeks ago someone on here mentioned they heard that she had a miscarriage and that was the reason why she was back in rehab, I just hope she doesn’t think a baby is going to make things all better because with Butch and Tyler’s sister that is just too much drama and worry for them, and to hear how Tyler isn’t getting any sleep well its no wonder. I keep hoping for a change in Farrah but I guess she’s a lost cause, and with her getting fired at least we won’t have to put up with her drama, but I’m sure she will find a way back in. I just don’t understand why nobody speaks up about how she speaks with Sophia always near by, one minute she treats her like she is a little adult and says things that she shouldn’t be putting on such a little girl, I think she is going to have a hard life when she reaches her teenage years, she really will be like a little girl 13 going on 30, but I can’t imagine what Farrah would have to say if anyone was to question her parenting skills, of course she will blame her parents, especially her mother but Farrah is just one hot mess and I see she only has herself to blame for the way her life is going, you can only blame your parents for so long. I have no words for Mack and Ryan, I can’t stand her and he is acting like a child, he got away with alot of stuff by being absent and getting high but he thinks he can walk out of rehab and continue his parenting ways. Such an ass.
What? Farrah got fired? When?
I thought Andrew had a few kids he doesn’t pay child support for? Can someone clear this and Farrah’s firing up for me?
MTV fired Farrah a few months ago bc of solo web cam sex shows. She went on this long rant about how sex workers are discriminated against and she has to stand up for them etc. MTV finally said enough is enough. Another part of her firing is the atrocious way she treats the producers and they were having a hard time finding producers who would work with her and who she would work with. Good riddance, I’m so glad they finally canned her. Andrew doesn’t have kids, that was her last loser bf, Matt. He has like 7-8 kids that he doesn’t pay child support for…
I think she is most def off her meds. I don’t think she can be pregnant on and on them without posing a significant risk to the baby. But aren’t there meds she can be on? Amber is just fucking nits.
When Amber was with Matt, they had a long conversation about how she wanted another kid but because of her multiple mental health issues, she could NEVER go off her meds and she accepted that. She even talked about what a bad idea it would be especially for her borderline personality meds to be off her medication and how she could not take it while pregnant. It was crystal clear. So it’s unclear is she plans to dope the baby or go insane during pregnancy… Sigh.
But can we address the fact that in the preview it shows that Ryan is drunk at the REDO wedding?!? You know, the wedding they are redoing because he was HIGH at the last one. I can’t even with these people. Mackenzie makes Farrah seem confident and level headed. Her standards are embarrassingly low for herself and her child. Then she gets mad at Maci for having higher standards.!
Ha! This is such a great comment. I’m beginning to think Mac just wants to be on the show and will overlook everything… drug use, her children, whatever. Ryan is still high (crazy eyes) and once he truely gets sober i doubt this couple will last. Too bad they don’t put their kids first instead of themselves. Bravo to Maci to handle this ridiculous shit.
I agree. I have no idea how you’re able to recap this show so well. It has so many triggers for me. I find myself so frustrated and sometimes angry with things that are said and done. And then sad for the kids and Tyler especially. Mack and Ryan are using every excuse in the book and it’s infuriating. I’m really rooting for Butch to get and stay well for everyone’s sake. I can’t with Ambers new guy. Ugh. Anyway, thanks for the great recap.
I really felt bad for Tyler. Especially knowing that two weeks after he took his dad to rehab, Catelynn went next for the first of two recent stints of her own. I don’t know how Tyler holds its together. And hearing his sister say she couldn’t wait to get to her mom’s so she could take a nap disgusted me. Get a fricking job and at least keep the electricity turned on for your kids. Obviously Tyler is letting them all live t here rent free and this chic doesn’t even bother with feeding her children.
Why Farrah is so concerned with who her mom is inviting to the wedding is odd since Farrah keeps repeating her and Sophia aren’t even going. I detest Farrah.
Farrah got back into porn this year. That isn’t her house. She is living with Micheal and Amy…which I can’t believe hasn’t raised more flags for
People. I think she is obviously having a rough financial patch. I think it’s foolish to open up so many new businesses close together.
I can’t stand Mack. There is a rumor she is in the running for her own spot to replace Farrah. They do have a lot in common…mainly living in a delusional world. All she does is put her spin on everything like we’re not watching the same show. She really could care less about Ryan. Placing the blame on others is a sure sign Ryan has not changed and probably won’t as long as he has someone like Mack looking out for herself by his side. Blame game is a tell tell sign of an addict…as long as they’re blaming others for their issues they are not ready.
Amber just wants someone willing to take care of her. She doesn’t care who.
Feel so bad for Tyler and Cait. Hoping Butch gets it together.
Thank you. Addicts are such a cunning breed.
I hope Tyler, Nova & maybe Caitlyn (if she gets her shit together & stops bawling about everything and does something about it and not run off to retreats) get as far away from Butch as possible. I have a Butch in my family & it truely is just a lost cause sometimes that causes grief and strain on everyone around the person. Tyler would be so much better off mentally.
I have an idea since Farrah got the boot & Omarosa got dragged out of the White House. Even though these women actually “quit” with class and elegance. Throw these two on a deserted island & not even have cameras film them. Just everyone leaves them alone and forgets they exist.
I get why everyone is down on Ryan but in this case Maci said she doesnt talk to him. Maci said 5:00 and arrived at 6. She assumes that Ryan shouldn’t or wouldnt have plans. She ruined the trick or treat for Bentley.
I have never liked Tyler and Cait, I guess because they were two children playing house. Tyler is kind of arrogant and for God’s sake Cait has been told that the weed is adding to her depression. She has to try to move forward a little and take some advice.
That said, I feel awful for Tyler. He is holding up Cait, Nova, Butch and now it looks lke he will have to shore up his sister and her kids while Butch is away. Its too much and in his tweets and instagram, even on the show he is waving all the danger flags he can find. He is sad and overwhelmed.
As for Amber and Andrew, that’s an oops pregnancy if ever there was one. She was pregnant before she could teach Andrew to speak only when I tell you your opinion. An oops doesn’t mean you move the guy in. We will see if there is a wedding. These days fiances don’t really mean a wedding is coming.
The was hoping they would fire Farrah this week. I don’t want to hear her butchering the Kings English while abusing her mother for another min.
I’m not on Maci’s side per se but I’m sure she’s tired of dealing with Ryan after 9 years of him not showing up or being late. She’s probably exhausted with his antincs. He doesn’t seem like he really cares. Now add-in his drugs and psycho wife. I’d be over it too.
I believe that Ryan actually showed up to Halloween with Bentley ONE TIME EVER and even then he was very late.
Ryan and Mack can try as hard as they want to make Maci look bad, but she is a great mom and Taylor is a great dad, ESPECIALLY to Bentley who he has spent a lot more time with than Ryan ever has.
Totally agree!!
So now we know why she (tylers sister) couldnt be bothered to take her son to get the cast removed and why butch had to do it hisself. #Family Curse.
Are there no mandated reporters that would alert V
Child Protective Services to what all of these kids go through? But then there world be no show, no $$ for the OG Moms
Ty and cate are gonna go broke paying for rehabs. Recovery is free!!! I’m repeating myself but this is really bothering me.
I think these people need life coaches (babysitters) to wake them up an follow them around all day and make them accountable. I think they would save a lot of money. They say it takes 30 days to form new habits. They can go to rehab a million times but if you can’t figure out how to incorporate what your learning at home then it’s worth nothing. It seems like it’s becoming an escape to Cait, but how will she deal if the money stops rolling in. Those are the questions they should be focusing on. Not we have the money and they say they can fix it so we will let them try. You have to fix yourself. No one and no place can do that for you. Yes counciling is necessary, but there are tons of meetings and community support groups where you can intergrate the healing into your own life and still see your children and handle your responsibilities. Sorry this is so long…I went on an unplanned rant.
Krystle, this is what I’ve been trying to say for a long time! My way has been more blunt and comes off unsympathetic. You worded it quite nicely.
I’m sure there are hundreds of thousands of addicts who would love to know about these “free rehabs” for them to attend. I’m sure they’d love to know so maybe you can help them out and spread the word. *eye roll.*
Mine was homeward bound Dallas TX. I’m sure every major city has 1.
Homeward Bound, Inc., is the go-to resource for judges, attorneys, probation officers, public hospital emergency rooms and law enforcement officers. Recently, Homeward Bound has partnered with the Dallas Police Department in its new Serial Inebriant Treatment program, which provides intervention and treatment for Dallas’ most intransigent substance abusers who use a good deal of public services.
I can believe no one else called out the whole FREE REHAB IS EVERYWHERE! Bullshit.
My family memember attended the TROSA rehab in Durham, NC. They worked and offered discount services to companies and did fund raising to run the place. The fundraising was employed and run by rehab residents. When you completed the program they offered transitional housing and job placement for those who needed it. We also recently discovered a facility down the road from me in Houston, TX is a non profit and free rehab program. We thought it was a private school. They may not be “everywhere” but where there is a will there is a way.
So I googled and it is a two year work release program for criminals.
I still don’t think you get it.
My family member was not in jail or in work release when they entered the program. Regardless at one point or another I’m sure butch would qualify. Isn’t a $48,000 rehab kinda retorhicle…like hey you keep doing drugs to escape reality. So give me $48,000 and i will show you how to escape reality without drugs temporarily. It won’t help with the normal triggers bc you will have. escaped them. So we can teach you theoretically how fix your life, but we can’t actually teach you and help you work through your actual problems as you currently work through them. Treatment for these type off problems needs to be handled in an environment that they will be living in. There are free programs to help with mental help and plenty of community outreach programs. I know from personal experience. The $48,000 rehabs are the equivalent of adult fat camp. Pay us and we will help you loose 30 lbs to go home and gain 50 back. Now you spent a ton of money and your fatter than ever bc you have a false sense of accomplishment all to realize your worthless without help bc fat camp didn’t teach you how to drive past the lit up hot sign at crispy creme. Oh, and google the wheelhouse in Houston, T,X. It is actually in Deer Park…it took me all of five minutes to find. It’s not run by government or united way. Again, where there is a will there is a way. And the wheel house is just 1. There are more.
I agree. I’d give Butch one chance at rehab and that’s it. Now the sister living probably free in the other house is too much. Tyler and Caitlin should move far, far away from this bunch for their financial and mental health.
Recaps are about as close as I get to watching this show these days. There’s almost nothing likable about any of these people any more, maybe Maci if anyone.
But- did anyone see the blind item reveal about the teen mom significant other? It said something along the lines of don’t let the innocent act fool you- Mack (Ryan’s wife) is the first one to take a hit off the meth pipe. ALLEGEDLY. Wouldn’t be surprised one bit, there’s no way you can hold the wheel while your soon-to-be husband nods off on the way to your wedding and then claim you had no idea he was on drugs.
Teen Mom show has destroyed their children’s lives. Tragedy is in those kid’s future. I find myself only liking Maci and Tyler. Now they added another attention whore (Mack) to the show. Her son looks JUST LIKE HER. Butch is an old ass loser! Take that $48,000 and put it in the bank for yourself and your child. No wonder that adopted family deals with them with a long-handled spoon.
Amber continues to be a lazy loser. Why is she even on television.
No words for Farrah and her daughter who use to be so cute. I find myself fastforwarding through 98% of this show. Only stopping to see the cute kids 🙁
Did anyone else notice Tyler’s niece walking on the kitchen counter
and the big hole in the kitchen ceiling?
How many houses do Tyler and Cait own? 3 ?
1. sisters meth house
2. the one they currently reside in
3. And the one being renovated
And where is the horse?
Maybe I am just out of the loop but neither Tyler or his wife have any education above HS correct? Not that you need further education to earn $$$ BUT where is the money coming from? What type of business do either of them have to bring in the type of cheddar to afford the houses, cars, A GD HORSE and now the money to send pop to yet another rehab at what, $48,000? Where is the money coming from surely selling t-shirts on the internet has turned them into multi-millionaires? By the way, the wife, Catelyn isn’t that her name, has got to stop with the weed already if she wants to change her life. She continues to whine and sleep all day wondering why she can’t change her life, well, I have nothing against smoking some bud every now and then but this girl has turned this into an every day all day addiction. If not for the show, how would they afford all this stuff?
They are on a show called, Teen Mom, that pays them handsomely.
Totally noticed Tyler’s niece walking on the kitchen counter- I’m assuming it was her brother that got his cast cut off by Butch on the show. Makes me wonder how his injury occurred.
Maci communicated to Jen that she was running late and Jen communicated it to Ryan and Mack – at no point did they stop and try and problem the situation; instead the immediately start placing blame on Maci. Exactly how many Halloween’s have “we” personally witnessed Ryan being late to?? I can’t imagine that he is punctual in every other area of his life. He doesn’t seem like one who prides himself with being punctual; double standard much ?? His own parents are sick of his crap.
Can you imagine all of the crap that the MTV camera catch that doesn’t make the show? I picture the camera crew standing around for hours watching Amber and Caitlyn sleep. I imagine them laughing on the inside everything Farrah opens her mouth and starts lecturing whoever is in her way.
I feel like Farrah has minimal contact with Sophia off camera. I think Sophia lives with Michael and his gf and Farrah lives somewhere else. Remember when she threw a fit that Simon wore his shoes in the house? It doesn’t seem like her Dads house would meet her standards.
Has anyone seen the pic of Jenelle with the assault rifle that David pisted yesterday? He claims he didn’t know about the school shooting. First, I am not surprised that that neanderthal didn’t watch the news or read a paper. It doesn’t matter. This is more irresponsible than anything Farrah has ever done. Farrah may cut with words and literally show her ass but she can’t kill a room full she f children with her activities. It is no secret that these school shooters are coming from broken screwed up families that glorify the gun culture just as David and Jenelle have just done. Jenelle needs to be fired. Maybe a drop in salary will stop the assault rifle purchases.
Coming out of lurker status to comment on just how despicable a person Farrah is. I think I hate watch this clusterfuck of humanity because I simply can’t believe a garbage monster such as Farrah gets paid to abuse everyone around her. She is awful to the producers, her mother, her dad. Sophia sees and hears her mother’s malignant narcissism and the only good thing about it is that when she is older there will be video evidence of how truly shitty it was and she will know she’s not imagining or overdramatizing it. Her shrink will have a goldmine to work with.
YAY! You know, once you come out of lurker status, you are NOT allowed to go back. Sorry. Not Sorry.
I agree but my comment is only that Farrah will hurt herself and screw up Sophia. Sad as that is, Jenelle’s actions are violent, dangerous and have the capacity to kill. God help the nitwits that idolize and suppirt her
