Chelsea
I love that Chelsea has Aubree in gymnastics. I think it is great that little girls have their own sports activities. That was not always the case. Aubree seems to love it. Chelsea is past the twelve week mark and is ready to start telling people she is pregnant. It’s time for the father daughter dance with Aubree. This time Adam can’t go so she can go with Cole without worrying about Adam showing up. Cole is such a good dad to Aubree. He is getting a new haircut for the dance and buying her a corsage. They are so cute going to the dance. Cole said there were hardly any dads there other than him.
Leah
Leah and Jeremy have a birthday party for their girl at a trampoline place. I’ve never actually been to one of these places and it looks like a bigger nightmare than Chuck E. Cheese.
At the podcasts Leah says that she is not getting back together Jeremy. Kaitlyn and the other podcaster really want Leah and Jeremy together. Jeremy calls in and basically gives the same answer that they are great co-parents and are not getting back together. I still think they might someday.
Kailyn
With Brianna out of the picture things are better between Kailyn and Javi and they have been spending time with the kids together. Some how, Kaitlyn has agreed to go babysit Lincoln at Javi’s house while he works out. Sure Isaac might be with Joe, but where is Lux during all this? This makes no sense.
You know what else makes no sense? Kailyn doing a podcast in Atlanta. And more importantly, Kailyn taking a girls trip to Hawaii. When you have three kids by three different men and one of them is still in diapers, how the hell do you coordinate that schedule? Kaitlyn says she hasn’t been on a vacation sin Lux was born and he is almost one! She’s almost made it a whole year without a vacation! She can’t wait to go skydiving and snorkeling. Seriously?
I somehow missed the part that it was Leah who is doing the podcast in Atlanta with Kailyn and going to Hawaii. I guess MTV is subsidizing this trip. Leah and Kailyn go our to dinner to catch up. Kailyn says that Javi is always trying to get back with her but he never admits to it. Leah says that Jeremy wants to get back together with her. The both admit that they have hooked up with their exes. They both say they didn’t have any feelings for the guys when they hooked up.
Jenelle
We got a shot of Jenelle making a bottle for the baby and she seemed to think that was some major accomplishment. Then we cut to Barbara who has some man in her kitchen washing dishes. I wish he would come to mine. Oh the guy is Jenelle’s brother. I don’t even remember that she had a brother. Apparently he has moved in with Barbara and Jace.
Jenelle is happy that she gets to go alone to therapy with Jace this week. On the drive home I am just waiting to see if this is where she pulls a gun on someone. Oddly Jace finds some stickers in her car and asks what they are. She explains that she joined the NRA. Then she takes him to a beach side restaurant for dinner and orders him fried something, a virgin strawberry daiquiri and a coke. She keeps talking him up about doing therapy just with her and then they can go out to dinner by themselves afterward. Then a giant steak with two sides comes. There is more talk about how they need to do therapy just the two of them so they can “talk about their concerns.” They go for a walk on the dock and Jenelle seems a lot happier in these scenes without David.
Brianna
I really think this show should have psychiatrists in place to talk to these girls off camera and keep them from doing dangerous things. Brianna needs to talk to someone with a brain who can point out to her that getting multiple plastic surgeries she doesn’t need in exchange for promoting the poor excuse for a surgeon is a bad idea on every level. How does she expect to care for two young kids after such extensive surgery? She’s having trouble finding someone to take care of her in Miami. Who is going to look after the kids for an entire week? What if there are complications? What if she dies? Someone needed to talk this through with her.
Nova’s dad is going to stay at the apartment while Briana is gone to help with Nova. He asks Brianna basically how to take care of a kid. Brianna says you know just make sure to feed her and have her brush her teeth before bed.
Brianna is pissed that the second she and Javi broke up, he went running straight to Kailyn’s podcast. She of course has asked her ex to come to Miami and empty her bloody surgical drains after her surgery. Supposedly, Javi is mad about this. Is it me or does none of this make any sense. Javi dumped Brianna and the ex is an ex for a reason. Why would either guy want to come play nursemaid with Brianna in Miami? Clearly her mother and sister didn’t want to do it. Oh the way to Miami, Brianna says Javi was still asking to come to Miami. She is worried he is going to pop up. And sure enough the does. Clearly this is storyline. Brianna is furious.
Next week: Leah and Kailyn go to Hawaii. Javi says he has a girl who will move to Dover to live with him. How is she going to feel seeing this episode. I presume this is the one he is engaged to, or got pregnant or both. Barbara talks to Nathan about David’s consistent abuse of Kaiser. Nathan is frustrated he can’t seem to stop it.
TT – dump recapping this show.
Why?
The purpose of the show has gone completely sideways. Now it’s heavy on the voyeur of a car crash, meanwhile film time of good choices gets less and less. You prove that yourself with your own comments below. 1 paragraph asking for more of Chelsea and Leah who are making better and better choices as they mature, while another 3 paragraphs on terrible behaviors and choices of the other 3 twenty somethings who have learned very little on good life choices. Sickens me these girls are getting total body “surgical makeovers” after having a baby – ever thought of joining a gym and making better dietary choices? Heck, you have the money, get yourself a personal trainer! Young women around the world bounce back to prepregancy bodies everyday! What about putting some money away for a rainy day and hey- here’s a thought, how about fully funding college accounts for the babies who made the TV run possible?
I just can’t watch, and electing to no longer read posts about this TV show because instead of coming away feeling entertained and happy, I feel down.
You asked why, I hope this helps answer why, as I see it. It’s a free country where everyone can have their own opinion, and I respect your opinion and enjoy many of your comments here, Muffintop!
I was just curious. I agree with you but it is a train wreck that I have not turned away from though I find 3 of them need a reality check. Lack of money might. be good for them. I never said they were smart. I do hope they have at least set aside money for their children’s education.
I disagree. I enjoy reading these recaps.
I’ve been following these ladies since they were 16, and I appreciate the recaps.
I enjoy the recaps too. One could argue that most reality shows are voyeuristic and exploitive. We’ve seen Luanne get drunk and arrested on RHONY and Teresa committ crimes and go to jail for them, which are people making equally poor life choices. I do understand where you are coming from though.
The post is also the top trending post of the day. Though that may be because of the typos. Lots of first time comment attempts today about the typos. /shrugs
Carol and the typo police need to READ THE DAMN COMMENTING RULES!
Hate to admit it but I have followed the TM ladies since the beginning as well and look forward to TT’s recaps.
Whoopsies. Sorry TT! Want you to know I, Carol, pledge to not violate TT’s commenters rules again. I have re-read them carefully and understand I am definitely guilty of violating rule #1. I know it’s infuriating when people try to tell me how to do my job, so I apologize for just plain being an idiot in the moment.
Why ??? Just because YOU dont like it??
Kail hasn’t been on vacation in a whole year by herself? If MTV hadn’t come calling she would be lucky to have ever had a vacation.she is so damn full of herself. She can pawn Lincoln off on Javi & family, she can pawn ISsac off on Jo but Lux is probably shoved pillar to post to anyone who will take him. Perhaps Bone can take him between fights.
JENelle’s gunn pulling incident will be on the 23rd. Her PR team has her posting pics of Kaiser as well as happy family pics like feeding baby a bottle. Aren’t those sweet. She keeps talking crap about Nathan being in FL 24×7 because of a job. That’s a problem David & Jenelle don’t have, so far. She won’t sign her contract unless David is by her side for support. Good luck pulling the modular mansion out of the wetlands with no money.
We don’t see enough of Chelsea or Leah. Cole going to the dance with Aubree was the sweetest thing. What an effort he put into making her happy. Adam doesn’t know what he’s missing. Leah and Jeremy are doing the right thing. If you weren’t happy and nothing changed, skip it. Glad they can all work together for the girls. I love that she has Ali in gymnastics. It would be easy to assume she couldn’t do it. They let her do what she can do.
Why is Briana here. The kiss between her and her Mom belonged on a porn film. That was creepy disgusting.
I love you
MuffinTop, feel your frustration, lol.
And WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT KISS? Ewwww.
This show was always one of my favorites, but it’s really gone downhill this season.
I don’t like Brianna, I don’t like her sister’s smart ass comments from the background, don’t like her mom so involved, and Brianna acts most the time like she doesn’t know or want to be there.
I mentioned before, I think Teen Mom Y&P is much more realistic and it’s time to say goodbye to Teen Mom 2 and OG.
When Jenelle was filming with her friend in the middle of the woods (on the land somewhere?) I was waiting for David to pop out from behind a tree. I can tell she loves Jace, but it’s not in anyone’s best interest for him to live with her. Or Kaiser. Or the new baby who is basically screwed because she is stuck in the sticks with those two.
Kailyn bestowing a favor on Javi by watching HER OWN CHILD was ridiculous. And I didn’t like the way she had Jeremy call in to “mess” with Leah. He’s not going to admit that he wants to get back together in that type of setting also if Leah did want to get back with him that would have been mean for her to hear.
I’m so proud of Leah for getting her act together and being such a good Mom….I never stopped rooting for her. Chelsea has a cute family, but they really don’t need the show anymore. And Brianna and her family are just a no from me, dog.
So they were filming in the woods bc at this point in filming, David had already been fired. Production refused (and maintains this stance) to film if David is on-set or home. They will not film with him in the vicinity. Since David only pretends to work, he’s ALWAYS home, ergo, Jenelle had to pull over and film in the woods, a friends house, a restaurant, etc
Haha I love when parents call watching their own children “babysitting.” Maybe she thought that because it wasn’t her weekend? No matter what, you’re a mother all the time.
Jenelle hasn’t signed her contract yet because of issues with David. I really hope MTV doesn’t give into her demands and allow David to film or be around.
Chelsea and leah have both done so well with very difficult circumstances. They both seem to have large support groups around them. People bash Kail for her poor choices with men but she seems to be a pretty good mom. Despite the three baby daddies.
I really enjoyed watching Janelle this week. She and Jace on their date was fun to watch. I think she really does love him. If she would just relax a little, I think she could turn things around. But she won’t so the poor kid is destined to a life of therapy. Her daughter isn’t as adorable and looks just like Jace.
I really dislike Brianna. She can go now
Her daughter IS adorable!
Janelle’s date with Jace was awkward……trying too hard for the camera IMO
Also the cup of sugar AND the cup of caffeine Janelle ordered was crazy.
Should Jace be consuming that much sugar with his ADHD??
TT, did you notice when Kailyn went to meet Leah at the hotel in Atlanta that as soon as Leah opened the door to let Kailyn in, Kailyn immediately asked her if she was painting her nails? She said, “It smells like nail polish in here.” Leah said no and looked irritated that she asked that. Allegedly, the smell of meth being smoked can smell like nail polish/remover…..
Nothing about Leah suggests Meth
I caught that as well and was thinking back (decades ago) if it smelled like nail polish or remover.
It was an odd thing to say, leave it at that.
(Need emails,) but I think it’s weird for Leah, but a friend?
Please continue recapping this show. 😊
