Well get out the toothpicks and place them in your eyes because we have a 2-hour commitment to Teen Mom ahead of us. Will Butch surprise us all by storming the stage via a Jerry Springer moment? Will Dr. Drew read a letter from the real Roseanne and Dan Conner giving some tough-love advice to Amber and Gary? Will April drop her sex tape live on the air? All these questions and less will and won’t be answered during the “long goodbye” which is the Teen Mom Reunion, hosted by Dr. Drew and his Weeble hair.

Farrah - We kick things off with Farrah, which is always quite the treat. I’m going to miss Farrah as her massive underbite really makes me feel nostalgic for my favorite sitcom characters of the past, like Stephanie Judith Tanner. How rude! Dr. Drew makes sure to show Farrah a quick recap of of her scenes from the season and they’re nice to show Debra picking up trash with her claw one last time. I feel like they may have done this just for me. Thank you MTV! They discuss that “horrible scam” that Farrah fell for and Dr. Drew asks her how it makes her feel. Farrah says it makes her really mad and that she wants to “hunt them down.” Well. Don’t we have lofty goals?! Now I usually don’t do this, but if Farrah is reading this I’d like to make her a special one-time offer. I can help her “hunt down” her Craigslist scammer, but I’m going to need her to deposit my $8000 check and then mail me back $3000 of that for my “finders fee.” It’s all legit, Farrah, but I’m going to need a money order and I’m going to need you to do this quickly or the King of Nigeria will not allow my dying mistress ample medicine while she’s on her death bed. Thank you for your time. Anyway, they really get into the background of Sophia’s dad and how Farrah feels about all of this and this is when we get a special guest appearance by the “ugly cry!” Seriously, the “ugly cry” should get its own spinoff. We also learn that Farrah kinda sorta, but not really, told Derrek that she was pregnant by calling him on the phone and saying that he needs to grow up soon and he’ll know why “when it gets here.” Ohhh cryptic! Seriously, she made it like a chain letter where if you send it to 12 people in the next 24 hours the Taco Bell dog will start dancing on your computer screen. Moving on. It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark. Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart. ‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night! Enter Debra. She’s wearing what I can only assume is Michael Jackson’s red “Thriller” jacket. That’s cute. It’s like all the Who’s in Whoville are putting on a play about the life and death of Michael Jackson and Debra landed the lead! We learn that Farrah and her mom have a much better relationship now and how Farrah is having a really tough time getting past that first week of Derrek’s death. We are greeted by the “ugly cry” again who is demanding more camera time. Debra begins to tell her side of the story from when she was arrested. She claims she was just opening the mail (insert: knife), and then was making lunch (insert: knife), and then all of a sudden Farrah comes in yelling and swearing and getting in her face so Debra pushed her away and ended up hitting her lip and then her lip hit her tooth. Clearly, she’s blaming Farrah’s tooth. If it hit her underbite, I’d buy her story. Then, like slapstick comedy, Farrah tells her side of the story which includes her wanting to go grocery shopping and Debra starts opening up all of her mail and Farrah asks her to stop doing that so Debra hit her. She then called the police and later the police rang the doorbell and Debra answered it carrying two knives from “cooking chilli” and that’s when the police drew a 9 mm gun in Debra’s face and told her to drop her weapons. Oopsie! Oh to be a fly on the wall that day! They begin to fight a little bit more on stage when Farrah tells her how she goes to culinary school so she knows that you should never answer the door with knives in your hands. Huh? Is that what they teach in culinary school? It’s like, Day 1: Making a roast. Day 2: Don’t answer the door with your cooking knives. Day 3: Souffle! We also know that Debra had a premonition the night before Derrek died and asked Farrah to sleep in her bed with her. Kinky. I think Debra is trying to get a psychic spin-off on A&E. Watch out Chip Coffey! In the end someone from the audience gets to ask Farrah and Debra a question. Ugh, why wasn’t I there!? I would have been like, “Debra (1), Is the trash claw coming out on stage and (2) can you teach me some sweet Michael Jackson moves?”

Maci - Time for Maci! This is exactly the order that I would have gone in too. Dr. Drew asks Maci right away about Ryan. Is he here? Any chance that he’ll come out on stage and they’ll just exchange vows right then and there? For some reason, Maci starts doing a little pity party about Farrah and telling Dr. Drew that Farrah has no friends or help and she could never have survived if she was in Farrah’s situation. Yowza. I sure hope Debra isn’t listening to this backstage and cooking chilli because we know how that will end up. Anyway after a little chit-chat about Bint-Lee and the like, they bring out Kyle the Cartoon Albino Ghostly Bulldog! What is different about his face? Has he lost weight? Gained weight? Something is different. Has he been stealing meth from good old April? The possibilities are endless. It’s like his forehead and his chin are both trying to eat the middle of his face and his nose and eyes have nowhere to run! We learn that Kyle has yet to meet Ryan and that he really doesn’t like him. So, uh, does this make Kyle “Richard” and Ryan “Chandler?” If you’re like me and running “Friends” scenarios in your head you’ll see I’m dead on. So did Dr. Drew really even help Kyle and Maci? He basically questions why they broke up, why Maci took him back, why it’s important to tell a grown up Bint-Lee to not date a teen mom, and then he’s just like, “Thanks Kyle, that’s all. Let’s meet Ryan next!” Ryan finally makes it onto the stage after Kyle leaves (such a missed Springer opp). Is Ryan wearing the same thing he wore to the last reunion? Someone look into that. Ryan doesn’t really like being on TV (selfish) and he thinks that TV and editing made him look like a real “butt” (his words). Maci then gives him a million examples where he did or said stupid things that had nothing to do with editing and how he did all that on his own. After Drew talks to them more about their relationship, I think that he may want them to get back together more than I do! We end things by discussing Bint-Lee trying to get rid of his pacifier because he’s 2 yrs old and Ryan lets us all know that he used a bottle until he was 2 and he “turned out great!” If by “great” you mean “knocked up a 16 yr old and landed yourself a successful TV show” then “yes” you did “turn out great.”

Catelynn - Finally it’s time for Catelynn and Tyler! Where’s April? Is it time for April yet? Is she backstage? Where is she? I’m getting antsy. Right off the bat we learn that Catelynn’s braces are off and apparently she’s taken parts from the braces, rolled it into a metal ball, and then inserted them into her face. She’s also rocking a “Mad Men” haircut. She’s looking good. I think she lost some weight too. She better not F all this up again by getting pregnant, although, it would make for a great Season 3. Catelynn and Tyler are still sad about Carly, but know they made the right decision. Dr. Drew brings up Catelynn lying to Tyler about her ex-boyfriend and why she lied and where that lying came from. She should have just answered: “April to all of the above.” Then he asks the question that’s been on my mind since 10:00pm EST. Where’s Butch? Butch! Butcho! Butchy! Darl! Snarlin’ Darlin’! Darl Lynn Carolynn! Well, the standard answer to that is “jail.” Apparently he’s still in jail and Tyler has no idea if he’s also going to eventually get treatment in the ‘hab either. Dr. Drew suggests that they both go to a special counseling for people who have loved ones in jail. Seriously, how much counseling can these two go to and, more importantly, can they share some of that with Amber and Gary? Then suddenly, it happens. They are about to go to commercial and so they’re showing April standing backstage just kind of awkwardly looking at the camera. She totally looked like Amy Poehler’s character from SNL. You know, the one who’s like, “My name is Amber, I don’t got no job, I fart in my sleep, and I’m rockin’ one leg…..jealous?” Ba da ba ba ba, I’m lovin’ it! April finally makes it to stage. I guess she hasn’t been reading my blog and specific entries about my “bangs” suggestions. Hmmph. April also looks pissed off when Dr. Drew introduces her. You totally know that they’re not allowing her to have any Twisted Tea until she’s done taping this sh*t. Then, they play a nice montage of April being a beast to Catelynn and when they cut back to April and Drew asks her about it she just says, “I can’t explain any of that.” Then he asks if she has any regrets and she just says that she regrets anything mean she’s ever said to Catelynn. Well, looks like someone has been coached on what to say within an inch of their life! She should have just answered “meth” to every question and perhaps tossed in a “gelled rat-tail” for alternative answering. Later she says that Cateylnn is an angel and then mocks her in front of Dr. Drew. This is when Drew says that calling your daughter a b*tch and mocking her is actually emotional abuse. April just rolls her eyes to this. Drew then asks who April has as a support system and if she has any friends. She doesn’t. Oh no, this made me kind of sad. April, I’ll be your friend! I’d f’n love it! This is when Tyler cries a little and tells April that she deserves more than she has and she deserves friends. Awww. I kind of love April. Drew suggests a 12-step program because she’ll make some solid friends there. Note to Self: Join 12-step programs in Michigan in hopes of meeting April. Later we watch a home-video of Carly taking her first steps and Cate and Ty got to be there for it. I hate these parts because it’s kind of sad. Yeesh. Bring out Butch…at least via satellite from “the ‘hab!”

Amber - Well there you have it. Amber. Earlier in the reunion she said that Leah is a little entertainer and she likes to dance. Uh, I wonder where she learned to “sexy-dance” from? Hopefully she doesn’t learn to beat the bag out of people like “mama” too. They kick things off by talking about Amber taking her karate classes and how good and calm it makes her feel. Really? Calm? She hit Gary in every episode. When Drew, right off the bat, talks about Amber growing up in a house that had domestic violence and now she and Gary have the same situation she starts to cry. She realizes she’s repeated the cycle with Leah and the tears are free flowing. More importantly, however, is when Amber is crying and her hand is in front of her face we see that her hand is at white as can be, especially when it’s up against her orange face. I was like, who’s damn albino hand is that? Kyle, is that yours? Giiiillly? Seriously, I think Amber is on suicide watch right now or at least she should be. She says she feels like a low-life, has no desire to go back to school…or work…and doesn’t care about herself at all. Personally, I think she should “sexy-dance” in order to help cheer herself up. No joke, I think Amber needs immediate treatment. Right now. She’s been uncontrollably crying from the second she got on the stage. Honestly, this is like a trainwreck. The tears won’t stop. She claims she “whites out” and doesn’t even remember hitting Gary that many times. She thought she just hit him once. I kinda wish Drew asked her if she remembered literally trying to kick Gary in the “fat ass” down the stairs. See? I’m an investigative reporter like that and, well, Drew is just a simple doctor. He doesn’t know the good questions to ask. Later Gary comes out on stage looking like a slim little pixie (well, slim for Gary). Amber won’t stop crying. This really isn’t normal. Drew shows the clip of Amber hitting Gary and then back on stage Amber is literally shaking, crying, and covering her ears all while doubled over. Now I’m not a trained professional I need to keep saying that this isn’t normal, right? Right? Is it just me? I feel like no one is doing anything. This is intense. I think she’s actually having a nervous breakdown on camera. And now her makeup is running down her face like she’s LC filming a “sad scene” on The Hills (nice touch!). Amber says that she’s desperate to get back with Gary. I’m desperate to see Gary’s mom in her sage-green Easter suit, but you don’t see me crying about it, do you? Spoiler Alert: I am crying about it. Dr. Drew drops a stat that 80-90% of small children who are in a house with domestic violence know exactly what’s going on. That’s a scary stat. Amber says that even when she and Gary hug, Leah comes over to them, tries to pull them apart, and yells “no!” Uh, it’s probably because she thinks that Gar is going to eat Amber. Also, I’m not sure that Gary dressed as a human bunny was good for Leah’s psychological state either. In the end, Amber tells Gary that she’s really sorry and that she thinks really low of herself, which is why she pushes him away. Someone call in the 5150 and let’s put this one to bed.

Amber Alert: The Today Show (this morning) just did an entire segment on Amber beating Gary on national television and how she’s being investigated by police and by child protective services. Anne Curry and Matt Lauer kept saying how difficult it was to watch the scenes of Amber hitting Gary and calling him trash. It’s like, stop trying to steal my Teen Mom thunder with your “successful journalism.”

Well folks that’s that. To answer some of your question, “yes” I plan on recapping 16 & Pregnant. I also currently recap the following shows so you should check them out:

Craptastic Thoughts from IBBB Readers!

Karen Said,
Perfect! I know you heard Dr. Drew say at the end of the show that they are getting ready to start filming season 3 of Teen Mom….so exciting!
Jules Said,
You did not disappoint!! Just a few things I’d like to say…I do not like Farrah (she is such a bitch); Maci and Kyle act like they are 9 years old not being able to share how they feel with each other. I mean you done popped out a baby from twinst your legs and you can’t talk to your bf about your feelings? Whatever. I wish Dr. Drew would have actually asked some hard questions to April – like – don’t most parents want better for their kids then they had. Why does she hate Catelynn so much? and Amber….OMG – I think she has lost it but more importantly I think she is building her defense. Trying to seem remorseful. That’s all. Can’t wait for season 3!
Dirty Darl Said,
CRYING DOESN’T ERASE THE FACT THAT YOU BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF GARY, AMBER
sara Said,
Why the hell is Dr. Drew trying to get Maci & Ryan back together? Only one answer to that…ratings for season 3!

I miss April already…
LeAnne Said,
OMG I just love this blog! I look forward to it just as much as I do the show! HAHA anyways i hated the reunion show. Dr. Drew did NOT ask the question I soo thought he should have…i e. like Jules said about April. She just needs to be slapped anyways.

And really Amber you finally decide that Gary, your baby daddy is better than your child molestor Wally World boyfriend? hmmm…such a mature answer we should give you both cookies.

Loved LOVED the Catelynn and Tyler recap though. It was great. And watching the home video seriously made me cry! They are such a wonderful couple.

Maci Maci Maci – I know “ky” looks like a bulldog but he is seriously the sweetest guy. Although I would LOVE for Maci and Ryan to get back together, omg he is sexy, I don’t guess its going to happen. Sometimes the heart wins.

I am not even going to comment on Farrah. YAY for her and her mom but thats about it.
MK Said,
Michael Jackson was the first thing out of my mouth when I saw the felon. Love it.

Does no one else thing Kyyyyy doesn’t feel as strongly about Maci as she does about him?

Finally, so glad to see Gary lost a few LBs and dressed up for the reunion.
Kathryn Said,
I don’t think Maci and Kyle are that into each other. .. . I think they want to be, but they’re not. I think Maci wants to be with Ryan, she just wishes he wasn’t such an a-hole.

I don’t think Amber was laying a foundation for a defense – I think she’s just a seriously messed up girl who has alot of growing up to do and really is nowhere near ready to be a parent.

Has it been acknowledged that April is an alcoholic? Is she sober, but not in recovery? I don’t get it. ..

Farah – eh she’s gotten much better.
Kathryn Said,
oh . .. also – Paragraphs!!! These posts are hard to read w/o paragraphs.
Joanna Said,
I’m sorry, but I feel no sympathy whatsoever for Amber. The whole time Dr. Drew was interviewing her I was like “ugh, hurry up and bring everyone else back out.” She is the worst and I don’t feel bad at all.

Also, not to be cynical here, but did anyone else besides me think that the Carly first steps thing was a little TOO convenient? I am wondering if perhaps the parents exaggerated a bit about those truly being her first steps? Just me?
Lori Said,
I just knew you’d have some comment about Leah learning to “sexy dance” like her mom — you didn’t let me down lol

It was telling last week though, when Leah said QUIET, NOW! to her parents. I guess she hears that a lot. (At least she didn’t yell STFU!, which is what I’d have expected)

April is pathetic, was she a 16 year old mother too? hard to tell – the meth makes her look way older and harder.
Alison Said,
Amber is such a self-involved piece of shit. All through her interview it was all about “this is so hard for MEEEEE” and “I can’t believe this is happening to MEEEEEE.” If she showed concern for anybody at all apart from herself it was Gary, and even that concern seemed fake and like she was just trying to redeem herself in the eyes of the audience. Not once did she talk about what impact this all has on Leah or her concerns for her daughter – I honestly believe Leah is at the very bottom of her priority list.

Also, does that child ever eat or drink anything other than Kool Aid in a sippy cup? She had something neon colored in her sippy at the end of the reunion.

Catelynn was way nicer to Amber than I would have been – and than Maci and Farrah were capable of being from their expressions. “You’re struggling a lot with your depression and stuff…” Methinks you’re giving her a bit too much credit, Cate.
Painful to watch Said,
Is Amber not aware that waterproof make up exists? She’s scarier than Alice Cooper when her black make up streaks down her face.
Maybe she can earn some extra cash developing her own line of waterproof make up and the motto can be, “You’re already trash, might as well look like you have some class.”
C.P. Said,
Thanks for the fast recap! I just found your blog last week and was able to read all of your Teen Mom recaps while “working”.

Maci and Kyle were wearing the same clothes (and padded bra) from their US photo shoot, just in case you needed to know:)

This was the first time I felt any sympathy for Amber, but there should be some sort of punishment for her behavior.

Farrah and Deb are definitely headed in the right direction, but there’s a lot more healing that needs to happen for Farrah. She showed more love for the stranger at the end of the show than she did for her mother.

Catelynn and Tyler are headed in the right direction. I don’t think they would have made it with a baby. They seem so well adjusted and unselfish for having the parents they had. I can’t believe Tyler has never heard of Al-Anon. You think that someone that at “the Hab” would have recommended it to him by now.
KittyKat Said,
Oh, how I love thee! When I saw Debra, I was like, “Whoa, did she dig up MJ and steal his jacket?!” THRILLER!
I loved how all of the kids were flocking to Catelynn and Tyler. They will be the success story of teenage pregnancy.

And can we please start a foundation to teach Amber about waterproof mascara? Ugh. You could tell all of the other girls really hate her. Catelynn, Maci, and Farrah seem to have an actual relationship and Amber is just the dumb white trash bitch they hate. Like, Catelynn gave Farrah a hug. But I imagine if Amber tried to go in for the real thing they’d either run away from fear of being struck or just grimace at the thought of embracing such a pile of garbage. Seriously. And could she wash her hair? It looks gross.
Lindsey Said,
Maci/Kyle/Ryan: Maci is coming across like more and more of a stuck up snob week to week. I know he’s done some douchey things, girl, but so have you. Like slamming him in the tabs over and over, and not telling him you were moving until the day before you left (I’m 100% on Ryan’s side on that one, that was a bitch move). She’s definitely the best mother, but she’s not a saint like the MTV editing would have you believe. She seems way more into Kyle than he is into her.

Farrah/Debra: Poor Farrah, I hope she’s still in therapy. She has absolutely come the furthest over the course of the season. Not much to say here.

Catelynn/Tyler/April: I could not believe what a bitch April was being to Catelynn, and with Dr. Drew right there. So glad he called April out on her behavior. I have no idea how Catelynn has turned out so well considering the shitty adults she’s had in her life. Tyler on the other hand has clearly benefited from the great relationship with his mom. They’re both great kids with their heads screwed on straight and I wish them both nothing but the best.

Amber/Gary: Her “poor me” act did nothing for me and Gary needs to stop trying to work things out with her and just LEAVE. I know it’s hard to leave an abusive relationship, especially when there’s a kid involved and you love the person, but he just keeps devolving into a sadder, less confident person the longer he remains enmeshed with her. He needs to take Leah and run, and Amber needs to go into some serious anger management until she’s less of a danger to others. I felt zero sympathy for her.
MK Said,
http://scoop.todayshow.com/_news/2010/10/20/5317584-report-teen-mom-amber-pregnant-again
you ARE the father Said,
Kyle and Ryan should both go on MoPo to take DNA tests. Doesn’t anyone else think that Kyle is Bint-lee’s real dada?
MK Said,
Wahh, where did my comments go? Has anyone seen the article from Today about Amber being preggers again?!? Please god, no!
Lindsay Said,
Okay, here’s what I’m thinking…

You should start recapping Millionaire Matchmaker now that Teen Mom has wrapped up. Last night’s episode would have allowed for an amazing recap. And who knows, Patti Stanger might add you to her database…

But on to Teen Mom…

1. Farrah has a stick so far up her ass & that’s really why her teeth are all jacked up. And I think Debra styled her hair with the trash claw.

2. Maci needs to ditch “Ka” because not only is he ugly, but he is also not a communicator & they act like they’re in 3rd grade. AWKWARD.

3. Ryan needs to go back to his remedial classes & rethink life.

4. I love Catelynn & Tyler. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Despite Cate’s gross piercings, they’re adorable.

5. Did you see the picture (in Us Weekly) of April right after she gave birth to Catelynn?! Explains it all. She wasn’t even wearing a hospital gown & I think she was hyped on meth. SCARY.

6. Amber needs to be committed. I agree completely that she should be on suicide watch. What a damn shame. She seemed more stable when she was chunky. Maybe she needs to lay off the dexatrim & start bingeing on ho-ho’s with GarBear again. And in the meantime, I hope she gets no alone time with that poor child.

7. Gary should redial his WalMama. She seemed stable. Amber just needs heavy meds & electroshock therapy.

8. Dr. Drew LOVES Teen Mom, obvi.
Melissa Said,
I didn’t believe Amber’s tears for a second. When the reunion was filmed, she knew she completely screwed up and could easily end up in jail or have her child taken away. It pisses me off that trash like her has a child, when there are thousands of women out there who would be amazing parents, but are unable to conceive.
Also? According to her Facebook she’s a fan of the “Save Gary” page. In my opinion, she thinks her behavior is acceptable.
raquel Said,
pretty please do a recap of the unseen moments episode!!!
Joanna Said,
to you ARE the father
-Actually a lot of people did think that Kyle was Bentley’s dad. In the unseen moments episode it was revealed that his skeptical mom had a DNA test done. So you are not alone! He and Bentley DO look so much alike though, more so than Ryan.
Dawn Said,
I look forward to all these blogs…they are so funny, they make my day. I want more of Butch too and April…I thought it was just me watching the trainwreck and waiting for them to appear.
I love this site!!
Christine Said,
Is anyone else glad that dr drew brought up how farrah idealizes sophia’s dad? Now, I don’t doubt that they were in love at one point and even at the end of their relationship, when she may not have LIKED him anymore, there was still love. But going by what debra and she herself have said, the end was pretty bitter. She goes on and on abt how he would have taken care of her and sophia and how they would have had the perfect little family… but that doesn’t go in line with a lot of the insight we’ve had into their relationship.

And someone please clarify: I could’ve sworn on one episode, sophia’s dads sister was talking about how excited he was about sophia? But farrah said she never told him outright. Does anyone remember his sister saying that?? (Btw, I think that was pretty awful of them to not tell him farrah was pregnant. It was his child! And did they think he would never find out?! Wierd)

Anyway, I feel for her. I can’t imagine experiencing the things she has. I have no doubt she’s still grieving, but I really hope she doesn’t use it as an excuse for treating people like sh*t. At some point you need to take personal responsibility for your behavior. She has come a long way, though.
Christine Said,
And I agree with whoever above said that it seemed awfully convenient that carly had her first steps when cate and tyler were there. And she was going to town, do babies usually walk that much when taking their first steps??? Either way, they’re great kids and I wish them the best. And I’m so glad drew called april out, nasty witch. Maybe something will hit home and she’ll change….

Amber… crocodile tears – I agree that she’s doing it to save face and build her defense for the legal and child care issues she be dealing with soon. She’s unstable and incredible self centered. Whoever above said it was all me me me and very little concern for leah was spot on.

Maci does seem more into kyle than he is into her, but some guys just don’t display their feelings well? He did leave really easily (it seemed) when they broke up, though. That was weird that they couldn’t tell each other how they felt about one another. How juvenile. But he is stepping up in a difficult situation and he seems like a sweet guy and bint loves him. ALTHOUGH, I definitely think if ryan wanted to get back together, she’d do it in a heartbeat.
JW Said,
I love the references to Friends, Full House, and Giiiiiilly??
IBBB fan Said,
please please please recap the unseen moments!
lisa Said,
i was sad for a second there and then i read that are going to do 16 & pregnant recaps
b. Said,
sadly i state that i live in indiana, and live about 30 minutes from the train wreck that is amber and gary! anyways, about a month or so ago i seen gary at a bar/club doing his verson of a sexy dance, i do believe he got pointers from amber, because everytime i moved his jelly belly took about five mintutes to catch up. also on the news today they talked about how they launched an investigation into amber and garys domestic disputes since they’ve apparently gotten numberous calls. surprise!
tc Said,
I swear that amber had track marks on that white little hand of hers! Bruise and all!
LisaP Said,
wasn’t farrah on 16 and pregnant? does anyone remember her episode? i mean, i would think the entire derek situation would be on that show. deborah said “he did bad things to farrah.” i want to know.
Jules Said,
So I really don’t want to be mean but that little town in Indiana doesn’t want everyone to think they are “not smart” but b. above clearly stated the following: i seen gary at the bar…..that would be i saw gary at the bar. 2) everytime i moved his jelly belly took… that would be everytime he moved…. 3) gotten numberous…that would be numerous. Clearly the schools in Indiana suck!!
mandi Said,
@LisaP : They were already broken up / fighting on her episode of 16 and pregnant. He seemed to be jealous of something she was doing. Debra and Michael were already advising her at that time to stay away from him.
Joanna Said,
I think Maci was acting weird on the reunion b/c she really doesn’t like Dr. Drew. In the Teen Mom Season 1 reunion she told him, “see this is why I don’t like you, b/c you make me cry on tv” or something to that effect. I mean, she said it in a kidding way but I still got the vibe that she wasn’t his biggest fan.

As for Farrah’s 16 and Pregnant episode, she says in the episode that her mom told her not to tell Derek b/c he was possessive and jealous but there is one scene where he texts her and says, “if you are pregnant you need to tell me right now” and Farrah changes her number. She went along with it in her episode, but I am wondering if she really was under her mom’s spell or something. Considering she was like 7 or 8 months pregnant when he died, I am surprised MTV wasn’t rolling and didn’t air any of it.
Jessica Said,
You’ve really outdone yourself, not only the standard Friends reference and Full House reference but a Mad Men referance and Paranormal State reference to boot. Ba da ba ba ba, I’m lovin’ it!
tc Said,
Seriously, I want to know if anyone else seen, What appears to be track marks on amber’s hand when she held it to her forehead crying? This could explain the mood swings and weight loss. poor Leah! I hope I’m wrong.
Suzie Q Said,
Why does Deb always look like her and April have a secret friendship at the bar.
I love these recaps. Hurry Dr. Drew.
D Said,
I absolutely love your writting! Had me cracking up and “seriously” thinking. I missed the reunion special but got all the info I needed from your blog! Thank you!
Little Suzy Said,
I was so curious about the Farah-Derek thing that I rewatched her 16 & Pregnant episode. They just completely DROP the topic of him – she changes her number and he’s never mentioned again.

But I will say, rewatching it and knowing what happened, all of Farah’s drama and denial stuff later in her pregnancy and right after Sophia was born make so much more sense. It’s actually terrible to watch her, knowing that in truth, no, she isn’t just being a spoiled brat – her baby’s father died and her mother had forced her to cut ties to him for the months leading up to it. That sucks. Even if he was a bad dude, that’s got to be a horrible feeling.

I think it happened in between MTV’s visits – they were there when she was like 6 months pregnant, then came back for delivery. I suspect that she was actually so completely devastated that she refused to discuss it when the cameras came back.

honestly, watching the show and realizing how f’ed up these people all are is really sad. I’m going back to just reading the awesome recaps.

So glad u recapped this! Was it just me or did anyone else hear Tyler call April, mom? Definitely going to rewatch to find out. That’s just creepy given the awkward circumstance of Tyler being engaged to his step sister!!! Just sayin…

@ Jules…. Yessssir, ma’am! We In-dee-anna folks sho is stupid! “Clearly” we is all a buncha backdoors, not Ed-u-kating hillbillies because some 12 year old can’t type on that big ‘puter riiiight.

Now you git back to yer high society ways up out in Californias or New Yorks and leave us be. (everyone in Michigan must be a ‘tard too cause them Cate + Tyler ain’t got no formal Ed-u-ka-shun either!)
Leigh Said,
While April doesn’t seem to have any friends, she doesn’t seem to want any. I’ve tried to friend her on Facebook and have been denied. She just committed social suicide. Does she know who I am?
