Maci
Maci goes to the doctor to discuss her Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and the irritability that comes along with it. I’m spare you the details. She chooses not to do the surgery or the medication and just tough it out.
Mack and Ryan think their wedding was just so much fun! These two are super slow. They start bitching about visitation again. All it would take is a hair test to fix that. But Ryan just doesn’t want to do that. I wonder why? On the after show, Mack and Ryan video chatted in to say their wedding was just perfect and nothing at all like the editing made it seem. They were not fighting all the time and it was just great.
Amber
Apparently, at Amber’s house where she lives with her new baby daddy, she has a doormat that says Mr. & Mrs Baier. That’s Matt’s last name. They were never married. I believe it might be time for a new door mat. What is the deal with all the door mat storylines on reality shows. Porsha just had a major malfunction in Barcelona over Marlo insulting her doormat. She goes to Gary’s to pick Leah up to take her for her first massage. Because that is what kids love to do with their moms. Every eight year old needs a massage.
Gary
Leah is working on her family tree for school. Most schools have stopped doing this, just like they stop doing the genetic mapping thing in high school because, well thinks get complicated. Gary doesn’t really know who is father is. Jody is a candidate. He was his mom’s boyfriend when he was born. He does sort of look like Gary if you squint, but Gary doesn’t know for sure and has decided to get a paternity test. Gary also looks related to his wife to me, so what do I know? Gary wants Jody to be his dad. Otherwise he will have no idea who is father is. Jody says he was in jail when Gary was born. They go and get the test, but we don’t find out the results until next week.
Catelynn & Tyler
This show seems to film very close to air time, because Catelynn’s miscarriage news came on this episode. It seem like we just found out about that a couple of months ago. Tyler said it was very traumatic and gory. He says it’s a loss just like when they gave Carly up for adoption. Cate goes to the doctor to confirm the miscarriage with her producer. On the drive home she says if it was not for Tyler and her kids she probably would have killed herself. She says she doesn’t want to live another day like this. When Tyler calls she says she’s been working through her anxiety by walking through it telling herself, “I’m beautiful, I’m smart, I’m strong.” Tyler tells her she is all of those things.
The next time we see them, the producer stops by and takes Tyler outside and tells him that when she talked to Catelynn that morning about skipping the yoga shoot, Catelynn told her she wanted to kill herself. Tyler is at his emotional breaking point and just loses it. Tyler has already found her a treatment facility in Tuscon. For the second time in two episodes, Tyler has to drive a loved one to rehab. God this is depressing. Tyler has another breakdown after dropping her off.
Farrah
We start with Farrah who has stayed behind and LA to shop for very expensive houses she is no longer going to be able to afford. The first house she stops at has a sign that says “Do Not Bother Occupants” which of course does not apply to Farrah. Farrah has purchased several houses over the past few years and always sells them at a loss. I literally believe that people move out of the neighborhood once she moves in and brings the comps down. I honestly think she can single-handedly bring down property values. Farrah decides she is not interested in the house because it has a stackable washing machine. Either she is looking at rentals, or she’s an idiot. You can buy a washer and drier for $1,200 bucks. Farrah gets a text from her realtor about going to the house and bothering the sellers. She texted back, “You rookies are really pathetic.”
In the production vehicle, the young female producer Kristen, that Farrah treated so horrendously on the last episode, tells the male producer, who can’t stand her either. that there is a problem with Farrah and the set teacher. Farrah has accused the set teacher of giving Sophia candy. The teacher said she did not. Farrah wants the teacher fired TODAY. If they fire her today, filming with Sophia must stop immediately. Kristen tells Farrah that they cannot film today if they fire the teacher. Farrah says she is done filming and is incredibly rude to the producer slamming the car door on her. The drive of her van looks appalled and I’m sure can’t wait to get her back to her hotel. Amy and Michael are equally mortified. Sophia thinks it’s great and doesn’t thinks the teacher is pointless.
When Farrah gets back to Austin, she refuses to work with Kristen, who has allowed Farrah to treat her like shit repeatedly. Kristen once again tried to placate Farrah, but Farrah continues to be a bitch. So Morgan, the showrunner comes to Austin. The play of montage of Farrah’s mistreatment of production. Morgan and another producer discuss Farrah’s decision to quit the porn industry because she was “lie to and exploited” and now she is preparing to do more online anal stuff. Morgan says is she continues to do online porn, she can no longer be on Teen Mom.
Farrah comes to the door at Michael’s house all sweet and smiling at Michael. And we don’t get to see anything else until next week.
Farrah should have been let go a long time ago. I feel for Sophia, she tries to gain her moms approval all the time, she hates David and this episode her teacher is pointles. Sophia learned long ago to just agree with her Mom or she would be yelled at and iced out. I feel bad for catelynn and Tyler for all their losses. I’m really feeling sad for Tyler who has spent his whole life taking care of people. I can’t believe how invested I am in the show!
So much sadness. I’m just going to say how Farrah sure got busted after anytime possible,saying she was taken advantage of and exploited doing the porn. (Doubt anyone believed her, but)
Now, she is a proven liar, and better start realizing, she’s just about done.
Her going off in front of Sophia was cringable, and so inappropriate, whoa.
Maybe Farrah is such a bitch all the time because her ass is always sore.
She’s literally Butthurt hahaha
What an emotional episode! The scenes with Cait and Tyler were heartbreaking. I found it interesting that Cait’s mother was surprised that she was going to treatment. Does she not speak to her daughter?
What 9yr old wants a massage? Another excuse for Amber to lay in a bed and pretend she’s spending quality time with her daughter.
Farrah’s driver looked nervous. I think he thought he was the next one to get yelled at.
I was really hoping they would fire her this episode. It’s taking forever….!.
Nova was staying with Cait’s mom. The “mom” she was talking to in the car, was Tyler’s mother.
Got it, makes sense now….
Thanks D
Can you imagine the PTSD from being Farrah’s driver?
Or producer, or
Basically anyone in or near her life!
You can tell that Michael and his new wife just need the cameras or the money and are terrified to do more than gently point out the “do not disturb occupants” sign that was prominently displayed.
Thanks for covering the relevant portion of the aftershow.
I watched one and skipped this one. I have no interest in Nissa and her parade of cross promotional guests from other shows . Nissa and her role just made me sick.
I wonder if Cate and Tyler try to protect April from distressing news, since April is also in recovery from addictions.
Tyler is stressed with worrt, but as long as Butchvand Cate are inpatient, he can relax a bit.
Just can’t believe how Farrah treats people. The rudest person I’ve ever met in my 47 years of life is not even as rude and miserable as Farrah. I’ve never seen anything like it! Is it an act?
Nope. She is going through the thing that lottery winners do. They get a whole lot of money all at once, they think that makes them more important than everyone else, their entire family tries to leach off of them, they make poor business and real estate decisions and things do not end well.
I feel sorry for Farrah. She never really had a chance or any parenting or education or support system and she went through a lot. That said. I’m not sure what can be done for her at this point. I think she is in a lot of pain, and is lashing out. I don’t know how to fix her.
She had two working parents, raised in a normal neighborhood, participated in school activities and was a cheerleader when first met her. She constantly belittled her parents and abandoned Sophia to Debra’s care. She and Daddy Derek were broken up but the revisionist history is that he was the lady ve of her life and it’s Debra’s fault. If you compare her young life to the other mom’s she was a spoiled princess. Now Debra is saying Michael was doing drugs which leaves Farrah with one more parent than the others had. At some point she has to grow up and get a grip. I think the TV Specialist, Dr Phil told her that she cant get help until she stops talking and starts to listen plus she will have to take ownership of what she has done. He’s a quack but that advice sounded on target to me.
What I wonder is how do do webcasts putting dildo’s up your behind and feel “shamed” by MTV? She should do as she pleases but let’s get some perpective
Well said and accurate.
Wonderful insight…
Farrah’s mother took care of Sophia for close to a year when Farrah wanted to get away from non motherhood and go to chef school in Florida. She has gotten support but it’s her way or the highway, or they are negative. When she started making money, Deb was not needed anymore to babysit but she raised Sophia as a baby. Farrah IMO has a personality disorder or just bratty from the show, or both. She has had support though and even remember her grandparents helping out.
You are right TT about Sophia’s teachers catching on that something is wrong. Firing a teacher for giving out candy is absurd and poor excuse. Farrah is keeping it moving and taking it out on everyone.
I felt sorry for Farrah this season too when Debra showed just how crazy she actually is. If you think back to the beginning Debra was quite mean to Farrah when she was young also and seemed to favor her other daughter. I still don’t give her a pass on the way she was treating people this episode, though. It was beyond awful.
Butch and Cait being cared for elsewhere is the only relief Tyler gets. I wanted to cry when he broke down. He has to buck up and be strong for Caitlyn constantly. Instead of wasting time with Farrah & Amber, the should spend it on him, show him the star treatment, send. Him to a resort instead of a rehab, dirt cheap in comparison. He needs the relief.
Farrah’s problem is not the editing. She might have her tolerable moments, maybe they don’t film those. still the vile vicious mouth on her seems to be rolled out all the time. I think Michael is afraid of her or he would have shut her dowm in the car. Her kid is going to grow up stupid and bitchy. Would MTV just fire her already. I will jump up and downand cheer with my special giant foam finger that is perfect for this occasion. Girl is broke as a joke, probably in Michaels basement and has to do Porn to pay bills. Losing this job won’t help.
Amber, get out of bed and go buy a door mat. Take Boo Boo one of a thousand things that kids like to do. Make her laugh.
Are Farrah’s Froco and other store successful? If so, she has the ability to be successful starting businesses, so I wonder why the porn?
To get back at her very religious upbringing and mother? It’s definitely a FU.
I am sooo curious about her finances. Michaels house is the worst one on the show. Not trying to be mean but I can’t believe that’s where rich and famous farrah is living, out of trash bags no less.
Austin TX here … I recognize the area when Morgan was driving to her dads, and its a very shady part of ATX. Her ridiculously expensive car looks so out of place there. That girl is delusional.
Yelp gives her Froco store pretty bad reviews so I’m not sure. Furniture and childrens clothes are saturated markets. If she doesn’t have the best selection or great values on either who knows. Losing the teen mom gig will impact business. I am looking at you Phaedra.
“They say hurt people hurt people”
I think part of Farrah’s problem is that she is so angry at the world because Sophia’s father died so tragically a few months before she was born. According to Farrah, her mother was not there for her emotionally during that time. It’s obvious that her mother never liked Sophia’s father because every chance she gets she slams him.
I feel sorry for the 16 year old Farrah. However the adult Farrah has a sense of entitlement and she never takes accountability for her words and actions. Her behavior is inexcusable. I’m disgusted when Farrah and her parents argue about adult issues in front of Sophia. It forces that child to choose sides. Sophia clearly is absorbing all the negativity Farrah spews because her opinion total reflects Farrah’s. There should be a treatment center for some of the children of Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2. Chelsea and Maci are doing a great job. They got rid of the guys that were toxic to them and found guys that are loving and supportive to them and their children .
Farrah has completely rewritten the history with Drerek, Sophia’s father. During 16 and Preganny, she and Derek weren’t even together or speaking. She’s rewritten it to seem like this amazing love story where she lost him too soon. She’s a liar and manipulator.
So true. Derek’s family didn’t even believe Sophia was his child at first. Do you remember how they did the paternity test to prove he was actually the father? Farrah absolutely acts as though they were a devoted couple at the time he was killed. Not the case at all. Of course, when did we ever rely on Farrah to tell the truth. Still, when I think about it, it must have been devastating to be pregnant at such a young age and the baby’s father won’t have anything to do with you. That had to have messed her up, but it doesn’t account for the hateful, harmful things that come out of Farrah’s mouth. She’s like a viper that spews venom every chance it gets, and the way Sophia repeats everything that Farrah tells her is psychological child abuse at its worst. I never see Sophia acting like a normal little girl – just a dead-eyed mini-Farrah. It’s really sad and I don’t see how she can grow into a balanced adult, given everything she’s exposed to. I’m glad she won’t be on the show any more – I don’t know how the Teen Mom crew put up with her. It must have taken phenomenal patience. Her sense of her own importance is hugely inflated, and I can’t think of anything that will change that. She apparently makes plenty of money from her personal appearances and porn endeavors, but I don’t see a long term good outcome for her or Sophia.
“it doesn’t account for the hateful, harmful things that come out of Farrah’s mouth” actually it DOES account for it. Farrah is someone who is stunted at the age that trauma happened. She’s an bratty sixteen year old who never had great parents, who got pregnant, the the baby daddy died, she had no coping skills, and she reacted like a cunty, selfish 16 year old.
It accounts for her behavior quite well.
And she doesn’t have any tools to do better. So if you give someone who mentally never progress past the age of 16 and who was actually rewarded for her behavior no matter what she did, and then someone came along and gave her a shit ton of money, you cannot expect a good outcome.
Almost all of these women are self destructing. We can single out Farrah. Or Jenelle, but It’s really not fair. They are broken women we are watching on TV.
FLASH FORWARD to Real Housewives of Atlanta. Same difference.
Sorry, the psych degrees in me are coming out tonight. Sometimes after I recap a HW show and the commenters are just lashing out at the women on such a really mean level… it’s disappointing that women can’t be more objective.
Carry on.
After watching reunion after reunion, waiting for Dr. Drew to say SOMETHING as to why she behaves like she does.
And then being closed doored on Family Therapy with Jenn who had the answer but we couldn’t know, I am happy someone is willing to put it somehow to understand.
So thanks TT.
This firing is a disaster for the whole Abraham family. i’m pretty sure this show provided the only source of income for Farrah as well as Michael and Debra. I know Michael was supportive of her choice to do the Back Door Teen Mom porn tape. He and Debra on Dr. Phil acted like they weren’t happy with her choice, but Michael was hoping this would make them rich. He’s such a sleaze that I enjoying watching him cower in fear when Farrah goes off on him or someone else. I’m sure Michael is managing her webcam career.
I used to work for a state lottery. The lottery winner comment was spot on. I could write a book.
I bet that would be a good read!
It is empowering to nourish my child with food.
Well I’m no huge Ryan supporter, but I do know the hair follicle test can test back up to 3-6 months with 1/4 “ of hair. So I’m not sure if the real time of all of this, but maybe that’s why he isn’t doing it? Because he will fail.
Ryans slow. I’d say hes just fried but one of maci’s old boyfriends suggested Ryan was slow long before the drugs.
Lol. No, Ryan suggested Maci’s ex, Kyle was slow. I think that’s what you’re thinking about.
Lol I still think Ryan’s slow. He doesn’t seem to comprehend…anything. He is just going through the motions.
What’s one of the WORST jobs in this country? Being the Producers/Minders of FURIOUS Farrah or Comatose Amber being in bed or on the couch all day. Then you have the poor innocent soul Tyler who is losing everyone to rehabs and retreat/recovery places. My heart just goes out to him and his producer. Every day is some sort of tragedy. I’d need a bowl of Xanax with me to do my job properly. It all seems just so relentless. Farrah screaming at people, Amber pouting when she doesn’t get her on way, Tyler on the fast path to a nervous breakdown and then there’s Mack and Ryan going over the same conversation on a loop. I’d be BEGGING to be placed on Challenges or something that got me out every day doing something different. It’s long past time to cut this show. For their own sanity and financial futures. Sorry for rambling.
Do you think they all resent the producers who work with Chelsea and Cole? Now with Adam gone, it’s all Cole coming home from work and Chelsea getting them ready for father-daughter dances. Meanwhile, the producers stuck on The Land are probably looking at bullet-proof vests in their off hours.
Please, MTV, put me on Promposal instead…
I feel like Ambers scenes were old based on the door mat, her hair color (around the Hawaii trip), the summer clothes, green field, and her not talking about her pregnancy. It makes sense they would have to space out the sparse footage they have of her spending time with her child … because we all know she never sees her.
No matter what happened to Farrah growing up, I just wish someone would tell her off and put her in her place. She should not have custody of Sophia, NO ONE in her family should. That poor girl is so brainwashed and emotionally abused it’s sickening to see it play out on TV. I never thought about the teacher angle until it was pointed out here. I am sure you guys are correct that the teacher probably brought up Sophia’s many issues and Farrah shut that down quick. I wish CPS would step in.
The part with Catelynn made me cry. I could see the pain and devastation all over her face. She is so severely depressed I hope she gets help with the right medication and therapy. I just want to hug her and tell her she is correct -she IS smart and strong and beautiful. Best wishes to her.
I thought it was such an odd comment Sophia made, “What’s the point of a teacher?” I think she was repeating what she’d heard Farrah say when Sophia was taken out of elementary school
I totally agree with your comments. Exactly what I was coming to say but you said it even better. It’s hard for me to watch the scenes with Sophia especially when the whole “I hate David” thing was happening. Sophia only knows what her mom tells her. That’s when it was just Debra and Sophia, she said she would attend the wedding. It’s so sad to see a child brainwashed and growing up with a mom like Farrah. I hate everyone making excuses for Farrah. There’s absolutely no excuse for a human that vile. Her aura is pure black.
And I also feel for Tyler. He loves Cate so much but he doesn’t deserve this. He’s spent years taking care of his Dad and now Cate. I hope things work for them.
I absolutely support Farrah being fired, shes an awful garbage person, but I dont really think it should be because of the porn. I’d be interested in watching a show that followed that, but for sure not with Farrah.
I feel so bad for Tyler and Cate. They are trying so hard to break cycles but they just keep getting knocked back. I really hope things get better for them and nova.
Thank you for the post Tamara. MTV is the one who brought my attention to the porn web cam Farrah thing. I would have never known about it left to my own account. I don’t keep up with porn so does MTV advertise for other porn sites or only Farrah’s? Farrah is a sad case, Sophia is too. I felt sorry for Farrah in the past but she is so hateful it is hard to be Melanie Wilks to her Farrah O’Hara. She needs to go and I hope she gets the help she truly needs.
When Amber calls Leah Booger Butt it is like fingernails on a chalkboard . Does Amber not know her child’s name? Anyyywayyyy I hope Amber has a happy pregnancy and all goes well. Gary’s youngest little girl is such a cutie pie, reminds me of Booger Butt as a toddler. I hate myself for saying that…or not.
I wish the best for Maci’s health. I remember she had a miscarriage not long ago and I wonder if her illness contributed to it.
My heart goes out to Cait and Tyler. They are both troubled from troubled families. They may be the most broken hearted young couple I have seen. There seems to be no lasting joy for Cait. Tyler wants to be happy but he continuely gets kicked down. I wish them well , Nova needs them.
This show is one sad story and time for it to end the failed experiment. I have watched it from the beginning and will watch to the end. I hope it ends soon.
Ugggghhh I forgot about Amber talking to Leah! Why on Earth can she not just call her Leah?!?!!? She is such a beautiful bright happy child who’s idiot mother calls her booger butt. Just stop Amber!
