Teen Mom Reunion: Farrah Pulled The Gotcha Gotcha on Debra. She Will Simply Pay With Her Life.
Woo hoo! Let’s put these rust dumpsters under the microscope of Dr. Drew Potato Head and his removable hair piece! I always love how we kick things off with a close up of Dr Drew with his face right in the camera like he’s trying to analyze each and every one of us through the magic of our television-sex-boxes. I also love how Drew keeps on committing to that whole “t-shirt and a sports coat” trend that keeps never happening. It’s like Miami Vice every day at Drew’s house. And someone needs to tell him that Kermit green mixed with Gerber’s green bean medley isn’t a good color combination for anyone unless, of course, you are in fact Kermit the Frog eating Gerber green beans.
We get to quickly touch base with all the “girls” before we break into smaller groups and talk about politics. Wait, that part doesn’t happen. What does happen, however, is that each girl get to talk about the feedback they receive from randoms on the street. Let’s just say thank Santa Christ I’m not one of those randoms on the street or the “feedback” would have consisted or retraining orders and regret. Catelynn starts talking absolute nonsense about how she talks to girls in the hospital over the phone whilst they’re giving birth so she can convince them to give their bastards up for adoption. Yeah, Catelynn, yeah I’m sure that doesn’t happen. She should spend her efforts on talking to little sluts at Claire’s in the mall from getting piercings in their chin and cheeks like they’re auditioning for an endless Avril Lavigne video. Amber, of course, says that most of her feedback is negative because, well, it is, and Farrah tries to convince everyone that people give her such positive feedback. Yeah, I’m sure the lady who lives next door to you that took and, most likely, cooked your dog has wonderful things to say. I mean she also give positive reinforcements to her tea cups and hair rollers too. So, well, there’s that. Oh, and Maci thinks that if Bint-Lee uses his “paci” until he’s 17 years old he won’t get his girlfriend pregnant. Apparently Maci still thinks that sperms shoot from the tongue. Bricks.
However, we’re officially starting things off with Farrah. “Horray!” rejoiced the Who’s. Farrah, who is dressed like Mrs Roper in a floor length caftan and sandals looks less than pleased to be there. Our little glow worm looks puffy and huffy. Not much is new, really, with Farrah since the last time we saw her. She still has a chip on her shoulder and is still rocking that sexy ugly cry all the live-long day. Dr. Drew wants to know about her big plans on moving to Lauderdale, probably because he wants to put on some board shorts, black shoe polish the hell out of his Potato Head hair, and wrestle with a fragile Farrah on the beach during Spring Break 2012 for an MTV special. Eh, either that or he really does care, but I think I was closer with my first guess. He then asks Farrah why she doesn’t have any friends and says that she seems like someone who would have a lot of them. Uh, clearly he doesn’t watch the show. My only regret is that he didn’t ask what in the holy hell happened to Margaret Cho from last season. I’m sure the answer is, “Debra finally saw all the episodes where Cho was talking smack about her, so she killed her and turned her into Moo Goo Guy Pan.” It’s a half rhetorical question and half a “no really, answer it” kind of question. Anyworms, Farrah says that she doesn’t have friends because she doesn’t have time for them in her life right now. Yeah, all that sulking really eats up a lot of hours in the day.
Later, Farrah lets the cat out of the bag when Drew is asking how long Farrah will be away from Sophia whilst at school and Farrah answers “two weeks.” What is this the Money Pit? Two weeks? Two weeks? Somewhere backstage Debra is literally turning into the Incredible Hulk because she was under the assumption that Baby Goo was living with her for two years. My ass literally started to sweat when Farrah admits that Debra has no knowledge of her new change in plans. Full disclosure, after my ass started sweating I immediately started drafting up an exit strategy on how to get the hell out of my apartment in case Debra jumps through my TV and beings to trash claw the sh*t out of me. After Farrah breaks the news, out comes Debra. Gulp. She should have come out in her reflector vest and set of butcher knives, charged the stage, and started yelling to Drew, “Someone better tack on another 120 hours to my community service because I’m going to pin this b*tch down!” At least that’s what I would have done. I was surprised, however, how calm Debra remained and how feathered her hair stayed during her segment. She even said she thought it was a good idea for Farrah to take Sophia for a few weeks to see how it really will be. I mean, this is her passive aggressive way to say, “You’ll make the wrong choice” but still at least she didn’t swat at her.
In the end, Farrah cries because Debra gave her room away to Sophia, but the good news is that there are 4 other bedrooms in the house that Farrah can stay in any time she wants. I actually felt bad for Farrah because she said a big part of moving to Florida was to make some friends. If she just spent a little time on this here blog she’d instantly get hundreds of friends. I mean, we’d be the type of friends to make fun of her to her face but, still, friends nonetheless! Underbite FTW!
Next up we have Amber. It’s shocking to me that no one is trying to kill the two giant spiders that have taken up shop on her eyelashes. I think she looks spooktacular. See what I did there? Dr. Drew and his thigh-high leather boots wants to know if people at home should think that being Amber and pregnant at a young age is glamorous. Amber basically calls herself white trash (which takes the pressure off of me) and says that no one should want to be like her. And the country collectively let out a sigh of relief. Amber also seems to think that if she ends up having to serve her three years in prison it’ll be horrible being away from Leah for that long. Something tells me deep down inside she’s hoping for a least a year off. I love how “tot mom” is free to roam the world, but Amber is under the watchful eye of the court.
Is it just me or is Amber kind of spacing out a lot in this reunion special? Part of me thinks that she’s holding it together and then the other half of me thinks that she’s on an Ecstasy trip and keeps looking up at the lights on the set. Dr. Drew decides to be a downer and bring up her sister who died from SIDS when Amber was only 4 or 5 and this forces Amber’s face to take on all new shapes. Some, I’ve never seen before…like the Octagon. Wait, is that the “stop” sign? One may never know. Oh wait, we may know. We may know. Anylashesfromsatan, Dr. Drew is kissing Amber’s ass by saying how awesome she is for seeing 16,000 different therapists and not smacking the Taco Bell out of Gary’s ass on the regular. And…enter Gary. Gary, who has been basically given his own couch to sit on, is apparently bigger than we’ve ever seen before. Seriously, it’s not even funny anymore. We need to stage an Intervention or else Gar Bear is going to be visiting Farrah’s baby daddy in purgatory. I’m kidding. They’ll both be in hell for not following the Bible and having sex before marriage. Sorry dudes, Jesus hates that sh*t. I mean, in their defense people in Biblical days got married at like 12 because life expectancy was about 30 so “no sex before marriage” really meant “don’t have sex when you’re 11.” It’s all relative. If that was today, Amber would have been like an old spinster. Anycarbskill, Gary is sporting a beautiful blue blouse and shorts. Yes, shorts. Because nothing says, “Hey mom! I’m on TV!” quite like seeing knees and hairy tree trunk legs.
Dr. Drew talks a lot to Gareriffic about pushing Amber’s buttons and always saying that he’s going to take Leah away from her and Amber always is a catty little C-word to Gar on the regular. Drew wants them to stop this immediately because it’s not ok for parents to do this. Sure, it’s not ok but it sure is entertaining as all get out. Gary admits that he still loves Amber and when Dr. Drew asks Amber is she still is in love with Gary she, no joke, takes about a 15 minute “looking break” where she just basically looks around and then says she has to see how this will work out before she knows if she loves him. Something tells me Gary will be eating his feelings tonight in the hotel after the taaaaaaping! The good news is that they’re all becoming BFF with the CPS and realize that they’re trying to help them and not keep their family apart. Apart like Gary’s sex-pot Mom’s legs when she’s in heat. So, you know, Monday-Sunday. Allegedly. Phew! We also learn that Amber’s favorite part about being Leah’s mom is…wait for it…wait for it…..dancing! Yes! Jackpot! They both love to dance and know they’re “sexy-dancing” to anything that the Selena Gomez sings. Which is the Disney girl who tried to off herself? Was that Selena Gomez? Oh wait, or was that Demi Lovato? They’re actually the same person, right? Like when Lindsay Lohan played both roles in that terrible remake of The Parent Trap? Eh, I’m over it.
In the end, Amber’s mom comes out on stage without her puffy vest, but with that same old slur that we’ve all come to love. I have no idea what she was saying. All I know is that Dr. Drew basically forced her to talk about the night her baby died and Amber has a breakdown and has to leave the set. They then flash a “…to be continued” sign across the screen like this is a cliffhanger episode of “Who’s the Boss.” Hopefully next week Drew asks Amber about her alleged dirt nap she tried to take after this season wrapped. Until next time….

QueenofCorona Said,
Farrah just loves to stir the pot when it comes to her mom. Dr Drew was right. She purposely repels people. She needs to be medicated and stop shopping at Dress Barn.
Amber. What a shit show. She needs to part ways with her Le Press on eyelashes. They make her eyes look like tiny slits. If the look she was going for was teh sexi it’s worked as she looks like she has two mini (hairy) gentleman greeeters on her face, which is, and always will be, pudgy.
Her mom needs to lay off the helium tank. And FYI-if you can’t afforrd a phone, you can’t afford a baby. Alas, here we are…rinse, cycle, repeat goes Amber.
-
Yikes Said,
Amber’s mom went back to work at 2 weeks postpartum? She must have a vagina made of steel.
(She said her SIDs baby died at 2 weeks old while she was at work.)
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmurdith Said,
Someone made the point on Facebook that even if your phone is shut off you can still call 911. This means they’re either dumb or intentionally did nothing to keep the baby from dying. Whatever happened, it’s sad. But it shouldn’t affect Amber the way she’s saying it does. She was very young, likely doesn’t remember and didn’t get a chance to get to know her sister. That’s like my son saying he’s devastated because of the baby I miscarried when he was a small child. I mean, come on. It doesn’t affect his life. I could see how it would affect her MOTHER quite a bit. But Amber has never brought this up until now, in all the years she’s been filming this show. It’s like one day in a drug induced haze she was trying to think up something bad that had happened in her life she could get attention off of. What a shameful bitch.
And Farrah should be ashamed for wanting to leave her baby for any amount of time. She and her mother make it sound like she deserves the time to grow into herself or some bullshit like that. You don’t get time to discover who you are when you have a baby. That’s why most people wait until after they’ve gotten to know themselves before they start popping out dead guys’ kids.
These girls keep pissing me off. They seem like they think they’re entitled to the world being given to them on a silver platter. They didn’t do anything to deserve what they’ve gotten. They were just lucky enough to land on a tv show because they got preggers way too young. And that tv show pays them way too much just for being train wrecks.
Bint-Lee and the paci kills me. That child has a binky in his mouth 24/7. He does NOT only have it when he sleeps. She needs to stand up for her decisions. If she wants him to have a paci until they take it away from him in Kindergarten, she needs to own up to that instead of lying about it. What a dumb ho.
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmurdith Said,
Yikes, I heard her say that too and I was shocked. Things must have been different back then. Doctors wouldn’t allow that these days. Mine refused to clear me for work when I had my twins until I was 8 weeks postpartum.
-
OhLord! Said,
I do agree with all the comments so far. This finale special was not really what i thought it would be and i was kind of disappointed! I dont understand why NOW all of the sudden Amber is bringing up her baby sister’s death, i do feel bad for her (a little!) but agree that its not the total excuse as to why she is a walking disaster! That is not a reason to neglect your child and beat your BF. However, I found this episode to be depressing- i didnt think Dr Drew needed to keep bringing up the details of the sister’s death…what was he trying to get at??!
I hope next week is better with the Maci and Catelyn segments!
-
katie Said,
i can’t stand to look at gary’s fat ass. he is so disgusting. and amber with those damn fake eyelashes. can you imagine what the make-up people on the set thought? i bet they tried to convince her to take them off, but decided to leave her alone since she was high and could probably give them the beat down of their lives. i myself lost a sibling, and i do not blame everything i do on the fact that my brother is dead. amber is using this for all its worth. and gary “i love her with all my heart.” hell, you can’t even look into her eyes and tell he that because she keeps them covered up. easier to take a nap without anyone knowing, i suppose. woulda been great if dr. drew woulda ripped those damn things off. i mean, he’s supposed to be a therapist, right? this is what he shoulda said: “hey bricks, if you are trying to make yourself look sexy, you are doing all the wrong things (lean forward and give those idiotic things a tug). and also, please stop teaching leah to sexy dance. you look like a fat slut when you do it, don’t make your daughter get laughed at later in life.”
i may get shunned from everyone, but after watching farrah’s 16 & knocked up episode this week, i do not blame her one bit for such a bitch towards her mom. trash claw used to treat farrah the same way farrah treats her now. 16-17-18 years of getting treated like that, i’d be ready to fire back, too. -
39 & Not Pregnant Said,
Once again Dr. Drew is horrible at asking the appropriate questions. He brings up Gary pushing Amber’s buttons but fail to mention the elephant in the room which is how Farrah talks to her parents every day all day?! That was the only reason I watched her segment to see her get bitch slapped for her attitude and he dissappoints again. And why no mention of Sophia’s paci like Bentley’s?
Then… during Amber’s segment he spends half his time bringing up Amber’s dead little sister not once but twice! WTH? It’s been 15 years. This is not why she acts like a bitch today. I’m sorry to be cold, but what does this event have to do with anything on this show. I agree with everyone that she is using it for sympathy.
Can’t wait for next week when Dr. Drew doesn’t ask Catelynn & Tyler why they think Carly is still theirs.
-
Gary's Huge Belly Said,
My son carried a paci in his pocket until he was almost three…it’s like a baby xanax…he’s a doctor now and didn’t need braces.
BUT onto the more important things. Amber. Piece. of. shit.
She and Gary should be sent to another planet to start their own breed of fat useless losers who think they are the bomb.I cant wait for the day Gary has a heart attack and Amber is too lazy to get off the couch to call 911.
-
Natalie Said,
“Horray!” rejoiced the Who’s and Natalie too when it came time to read your recap!
Catelynn sounded like such a tool yammering about calling girls who are in labor to help them “make the same decision I made”. Can’t wait til next week to see the part where Tyler admits hes not feelin her so much anymore.
I agree w. everyone else. Amber is a shameful bitch who doesn’t deserve camera time. She thinks shes the missing Kardashian sister or something. And all that BS w/ her sister? Either she isn’t as dumb as she looks and is trying to drag out her 15 minutes by being dramatic, or the producers told her to work up some tears bc her storyline is shit.
Farrah is a bitch. She has no friends bc she is a bitch. Margaret Cho probably wasnt getting paid enough by MTV to make dealing with that bitch worth her time. Bitch. Ole!
-
Lisa Said,
the constant mentioning of Amber’s sisters death is starting to piss me off. if she was only 4 years old then WTF is she sobbing about? I barely remember ANYTHING from when I was 4 years old. the people who should be distraught over it would be Amber’s parents. I could see if maybe her death and their focus on that caused Amber to be neglected some or something….then I’d feel bad for her. but she has mentioned in episodes that she misses her sister and thinks things would be different if she were there. wtf? I don’t get it.
-
Nic Said,
Oh my doppelganger! The first picture of Farrah and the picture of you in the blue button-down bear a strong resemblance. You both have the same side-eye bitch glare going on… Tell the truth, are you secretly Farrah?!
-
dacabsarhere Said,
Ok, we all know Amber is a sorry excuse for air and the lashes on her head are weighing down her brain and her eyelids. But umm, for a four or five year old to witness a strecher come in and take away their dead baby sister/brother at two weeks of age and the crazyness that had to be going on at that time is SAD. It affected me just hearing it and I think Amber is a bottomless pit but I have a heart and it’s not totally black yet. That would mess up any kid than add to it that she has to flaky parents who I’m sure handled it really well and we can see with Farrah that if you can’t get over grieve you turn into a sloppy-blanket-wearing-crying-mess. Well in Amber’s mom’s case a puffy-vest-wearing-crying-mess. That had to be delightful to grow up with. Unfortunatly with that all said, Amber needs to continue to seek help and wake up and realize she needs to provide the opposite for Leah. Sad, situation. Gary gets on my nerves too and I know she’s not the only one who would push his lard-ass down a flight of stairs after being tired of looking at that over-hang. He’s the biggest anchor she’ll ever drop, hopefully she cuts the rope soon.
I am wondering why Drew doesn’t ask Farrah about her constant verbal abuse towards her parents too. Is this because we’re suppose to just know now its to be expected now? I think Debra deserves a freaking award for the way she handles Farrah anymore. She has literally gone for a screaming, hitting, controlling skitzo to this calm voice of reason. Apparently the trash claw and orange vest worked well for her.
-
Square Hair Said,
Amber crying because her sister died at the age of 2 weeks when Amber was only 4 is like crying because your goldfish died…
-
Jen Said,
Ohh how these recaps make me giggle.
I think Ambers trying to look like Marilyn Monroe. She always had that thick eyelash, stoned off her butt look. I agree w/ everyone that she is using her sisters death for sympothy. Shes the worst fake cryer ever.
-
rikcrik Said,
Maybe Amber doesn’t believe it was SIDS… dun dun duuuun…
39 and non-Preg, I don’t think Dr. Drew is not asking those questions. These shows are edited down to within an inch of their life. Who knows how long the actual taping was. Even if it was two hours and we’ve got a two hour show, after commercials and the video recaps, we only get to see, what? 22 minutes of actual q&a?
Say what you want about Dr. Drew but I met that guy in real life and he knows how to get you to talk. And he never even said anything to me. We past each other in the hall at my place of work. I saw him walking in my direction and — admittedly — i’ve got a thing for silver fox’s. So here’s this super tall, handsome guy (and this was probably 7 or 8 years ago so he had the gray hair but his face was much more smooth) and the eye contact he made with me was incredible. I didn’t realize who he was until he passed me, but for the 5 or so seconds we held eye contact I wanted to tell him everything. everything.
I’ve never seen a therapist hold a patient/client’s hand. only on tv, I guess. I think i’d feel a little violated if my therapist held my hand during a session.
-
Barbara Ann Evans III Said,
I’m probably just a conspiracy theorist but I can’t help but wonder if Amber knows something more about what happened with her sister and that’s why she carries on so much about it. Like maybe her dad did something stupid or careless or Amber accidentally suffocated the baby because her dad wasn’t paying attention to them or something. Granted, I don’t know much about SIDs. Something is very weird about Amber’s big reaction with running off the stage and whatnot. If her mom can discuss it one would think Amber could at least sit there and hear it.
-
amy Said,
Best “secret word” of the day “anylashesfromsatan.” I am going to try to use it in at least 3 conversations today.
-
H Said,
@Mmmmmmmmmurdith- Just so you know there is nothing you can do to prevent crib death. She could not have stopped the baby from dying by calling 911. Who says she didn’t call 911? I’m going to guess that she didn’t bury it in the back yard, so at some point she had to have gotten some kind of help. It does not mean she could have prevented it, that’s not how it works. If you could “stop” it from happening then there wouldn’t be thousands of babies who die from it every year.
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmurdith Said,
I meant to say TRYING to stop it. Sorry for leaving out that key word. I know there’s no guarantee anyone could have stopped it. I thought she said on the show she couldn’t call for help because they didn’t have a phone. And like someone said before, since when does SIDS involve hemorrhaging out the nose? I’m not claiming to be an expert. I’m just saying it doesn’t sound like they handled it the best way.
Also, I said before I think this is an attention seeking move on Amber’s part. Not that no one would be upset if her baby sister died when she was four, but seriously, the fact that Amber’s been on tv for several years and this is the first time we’ve heard anything about this so-called life altering event makes me suspicious that she went fishing for something that would make people feel sorry for her. This is what she pulled out.
This shouldn’t turn into a crib-death or SIDS debate. Seriously. But Amber is overreacting, and she’s really dumb if she thinks no one sees through it. Amber just seems to me that she’s a soulless, black hearted excuse for a human being. She’ll use anything and anyone to get what she wants and bully her way into or out of any situation.
-
Jules Said,
I’m with conspiracy theorist Barbara Ann Evans III: I believe what she is saying makes a lot of sense. A normal 4/5 year old would not be this devastated about a 2 week old dying this many years later. Granted her mother is probably drugged but it was her child that died. Also, you would think Amber would be more apt to not leave Leah UNATTENDED if she was really scarred by SIDS. Just sayin!
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmurdith Said,
Unattended! Great cross-reference, Jules. I’m impressed. And you’re right. I can see some sadness, but Amber’s taking it to a whole new level. Her Christmas is ruined because her sister died 20 years ago? Her sister didn’t even die at Christmas from what I’ve read, so what’s the deal?
And she should be more careful with Leah if she’s that affected by it. She leaves Leah alone all the time without supervision. Mostly so she can go cry to the cameras through her cousin or Krystle Meth about her problems.
-
sis Said,
I know this is a bit off yesterdays’ show, but its been bugging the hell out of me…..does Catelynn get on anyone elses nerves? besides obvious reasons, i mean i use to like her, more like feel real sorry for her. But why can’t Tyler ever get a sentence out of his mouth? she always has to answer for him especially all these dr. drew episodes. They did a adoption show a few months back everytime Dr. Drew asked Tyler something Catelynn would anser for him…..she is slooooowly pushing him away…and good for him
-
L-Train Said,
I agree that Amber being upset over her sister’s death of SIDS should not be a focal point…maybe the fact that it looks like she’s on a truck load of drugs should be addressed. I could not believe how out of it she looked on the show and how her new pet birds were weighing down her eyelids. Fake lashes are used to open up your eyes, not to make you look like Mr. Magoo.
I feel bad for Catelynne because she’s just a sitting duck before Tyler leaves her for a guy.
-
RossandRachel4life Said,
When Amber started flipping out about her baby sister dying from SIDs at 2 weeks when Amber was 4, I turned to my husband and started to say “welll I’m about to say something terrible that is sending me straight to hell.” And before I could say a word, he said, “What? That her sister died of SIDs when Amber was too young to remember it and now she’s using it as an excuse on national tv?” Yeah, that.
-
IloveIBBB Said,
For a second, at the end (when Amber ran backstage), I thought Dr Drew just told her that Gary was 115% NOT the father of Leah! Seriously, did they tape this at the Maury studio?
-
L-Train Said,
Oh, and I’m super excited to see “Ky” and and “Rhine” try and make sentences at eachother next episode. So far that looks like the best part of the reunion special. They show Kyle saying “He has to know he can’t talk to Maci that way” and Ryan just kind of slowly turns his head towards Kyle and stares blankly.
-
Lisa Said,
just to clarify – I feel HORRIBLE for Amber’s parents for having to experience that. I can’t even imagine the pain that they went through. that being said, it makes zero sense as to why Amber would be running off the stage when the topic is brought up. she was 4 when it happened so it had to have been about 15 years ago or so? I DO feel bad for the Amber in that it likely put a lot of stress on her family situation and she was definitely old enough to remember/be affected by the stress. however, her response to it now is simply way over the top. there is either more to the story (which I doubt) or Amber is just being overly dramatic (most likely).
-
Mmmmmmmmmmmurdith Said,
@ILoveIBBB, I was thinking the same thing. It really seemed like an episode of Maury. Unfortunately for Leah, those Gary genes come through strong. She’s cute now despite his genes, but it’s only a matter of time before she grows up and looks just like Grandma Sexpot.
-
Wednesdaystreat Said,
Totally agree with the Dr. Drew questions thing–the first one should be, “Farrah, why do you verbally abuse everybody in your path?” Second one, “Amber, did you drop dirty today?”
I never thought about it, but YES! This SIDS thing would have come up when Leah was an infant if it was soooo upsetting to her. They’d put her to bed in her diaper with a bottle in her mouth constantly and leave the room when they lived in that first place together.
Mrs Roper’s dress–priceless!
-
Julezy Said,
OK so I NEVER thought I would say this… but in Amber’s defense… I believe she walked off stage when her mom said the infant was hemorraging from the nose.
The reason being that when I heard her say that, I got tears in my eyes. I have a 14-month old kid. Amber has a toddler. I cry instantly when I hear about babies dying. It’s a mother thing. And although Amber is my favorite person to hate, she still carried a child and gave birth to her. At the base of it all, having recently had an infant, the detail of the baby’s death may have pushed her emotions over the edge just as it brought tears to my own eyes. It’s pretty excruciating for me to learn of things that happen to poor helpless infants; she may have the same legitimate problem (among her many illegitimate self-inflicted problems).
We all know she’s drama, but I’m not going to discredit her feelings in that aspect. That being said, there’s no reason for so much emotion and drama over addressing the fact that her sister died of SIDS.
-
Shay Said,
@sis –You’re absolutely right. Catelynn is annoying, insecure and clingy and lazy. I feel bad for Tyler every time they show their segments you can see he’s screaming inside, “I WANT OUT!” He’s prob afraid of backlash for leaving her because of all they’ve been through but I’m sorry that is over now and they (HE) is growing up and out of that relationship while she is not. Poor girl has so many issues for many obvious reasons including her previous living situation. She needs to do something with herself instead of playing the victim all the time. Get up exercise or something. Find some self worth. Hopefully Tyler breaks out of that soon, I think he’s capable of many great things. I thought they were both mature but I can see now that he is way more mature than she is.
-
Moonshiner Said,
Dr. Drew is such a sellout and acted like such a tool last night. Why is he torturing Amber and her mom about that baby? Why are they even bringing it up? Just searching for drama. He is the world’s worst therapist. And Amber needs an Eyelash Intervention as much as Gary needs a overeating one.
This blog is the ONLY reason I still watch this show! My husband and I suffer through it and then laugh our asses off at your blog. MTV really should be giving you a cut for their ratings Patrick. Otherwise it totally sucks.
-
Kate Said,
While I do have some degree of sympathy for Amber’s situation regarding her sister, I did think her reaction was over the top. If you’ll recall, last year on the reunion special she blamed her bad behavior on her father having psorosis, so it seems dead sister took over as the scapegoat in this season’s reunion. Not to say that both aren’t sad events, but it’s interesting how these revelations come from nowhere when Amber is under fire. Regardless, she freaked me the hell out last night. I couldn’t decide whether she was straight up possessed or whether she was actually going for soap opera style theatrics.
Do we know when this was filmed? From Twitter I gather that Gary & Ambuuuhh have broken up again (shocker!), & just last week Maci was asking for advice taking the paci away from the 3-next-month Bint-lee.
-
sis Said,
I can’t believe Dr. Drew didn’t bring up Farrah’s attitude problem at all…..is he insane….it just makes her believe that she is always right and it’s ok to talk to her parents that way….urh….i kinda want to feel that Ambuh staged the whole ‘walking off’ thing….it’s like when my drunk mom starts to talk that’s my cue to walk off……ps…..i HATE Catelynn’s headbands/flowers
-
MK Said,
While all of these comments are legit…can we please discuss the fact that Catelynn opts not to take out her retainer when she knows she’s going to be ON NATIONAL TELEVISION? I was pissed when my friend brought me to my 13th surprise birthday party and I had my retainer in let alone ON AN MTV SPECIAL.
And Farrah’s braces? I…just…can’t. You have enough money to get some boobs, go ahead and splurge on the Invisiline, k?

Crackin' UP Said,
“Sis”, i agree! I cannot STAND Catelynn’s headbands and flower clips! She needs a serious hair makeover. I think for her, LONGER hair is in order- it would be way more flattering for her. She is not somone that can rock a bob/semi-Kate Gosselin cut! And, why does she always have to wear an accessory in her hair? It doesnt do anything for her!
Speaking of hair, cant wait to see Maci’s bleached blonde/white extensions in next week’s episode. In my opinion, she looked 100x better with short hair that was strawberry blonde!
I still dont get why these girls continue to revamp themselves….at this point, its like, you looked better when you were on 16&Preggers. At least most of them looked their age and more “normal” (I use the word normal very loosely!) but still……

I’d like to see Ky and Rhino rumble. While Ryan has height on his side, the albino mud fence is sort of built like a brick house. It would be like a special Olympics event though. No matter who wins, they’re both still retarded.
-
Shay Said,
I think the reason these girls keep vamping themselves up is because they truly beleive they are celebrities. Like “red carpet” celebrities instead of trashy teen moms who landed on a reality show which was supposed to show why you SHOULDNT want that. Obviously missiing the whole point… I do miss humble, down to earth, smart Maci.

kas Said,
I feel bad for any family that went through a SIDS death, but to have never heard a word about it before?? I’m sorry, but there’s is no way Amber remembers like she is acting like she does.
Amber just finds a knew reason every Reunion for her behavior (see: Kate’s Psorosis example). Her favorite word: “DRAMA”, said with that perfect, “I’ve watched The Hills” inflection is what she thrives on. She was in heaven during The Gary/Clinton Love-Off and I really don’t think her 24 hr. stay in jail bugged her at all, since she got to boo-hoo to the tabloids about and essentially got paid for beating Gary.
And she still comes across as high as a kite half the time. Has it ever been established if she has to take any sort of drug test (probably not if it wasn’t part of the initial complaint)? How is it the Stripper lashes both make her look drugged, and also make it harder to tell?
-
Megathor Said,
I seriously hope Ryan and Kyle jump off the couch and start fighting next week. All these random buff guys will step in and try to separate them while they are cussing and pulling hair. Maci is sitting on the couch in tears with Dr Drew asking her “How does this make you feel?” I also hope Tyler comes out of the closet. What a perfect reunion show that will be.

Just FYI, this is how you spell the disease Amber’s father had: Cirrhosis.
Not sure where the alternate spelling you guys are using came from.

Old School Woman Said,
Haven’t posted in a while, but ALWAYS read your recaps. I don’t even watch the show anymore because I get more from you than any show can give me. Glad you’re doing better IBBB. As usual your recap is hilarious! Farrah: Sick of her and her whining ass! I agree that her mom is not the most stable person, but compared to Farrah she is a prize. Now she tells “Dr. I will do anything for money Drew” that she has changed her mind about leaving Sophia with her parents instead of tallking to her parents first. I love the fact that now it is known how EASY her life is. By letting us know that even though they made her bedroom into Sophia’s, there are still THREE other bedrooms besides the house they RENTED (LOL) to Farrah shows that this BEOTCH has been given more advantages than any young mother I know! No friends, but she actually BELIEVES she has fans? Of course not, I’m surprised her parents even stomach her! Dr. Drew do you even watch the show? Also, sick of her mentioning Sophia’s father and showing her sites that she CLAIMS they went. She cut the man off, changed her number and basically wanted nothing to do with him, Now he is the LOVE OF HER LIFE? Amber: Please, sorry I feel for her mom SLIGHTLY about the SIDS of her sibling, but her mom went back to work like nothing, why is AMBER using this as her reason for being an irresponsible, hostile and arrogant parent and person! Not to make light of anyone’s death, but can she even remember her sibling? Can anyone posting remember anything from the time they were five-years-old or younger, no matter your age now? PULEEZE! Amber wil use what ever she can to justify her lack of any maternal instincts. GarBear is another joke. Please put some long pants on and maybe a tent! I am sick of seeing this IDIOT wearing t-shirts and shorts. He acts like he is the better parent, but he is not. Leah’s ONE PARENT is HIS MOM! Can’t wait for your blog on Catelynn and Maci, two people I am sick of. Catelynn get off Tyler’s D-CK and nerves. She is strangling him with her SUPPOSED love. She seems more OBSESSED with him. Also, Catelynn you GAVE YOUR BABY UP!!! She IS NOTyours, she is not coming to every occasion that you have. She has a MOM and a DAD! Leave these people alone. Be thankful if they agree to send you pics every now and then. You cannot give your child away and then want to play distant parents. Get over it and get off the show! MACI: admit that the ONLY possible reason you want a man that is living in your home off MTV’s dime is to get to Ryan who you still have feelings for. Marrying Kie is not going to take those feelings away. Ryan once again has no job because he is being taken care of (and Bintly too for that matter) by his parents (he would have been out of my home a long time ago without going to school or having a job). This man will never change. If you have no problem supporting Kie, you might as well support Ryan if you want to be with him.

SuzieQ Said,
We need a best of Teen Mom show. Put Janelle, Barb, April,Butch and some of those other white trash in one show. Maci is boring can she spice up the show with a opps I got pregnant again by Ryan on accident to get another show?
Farrah is a fake. She will be ditching her money maker when the cameras are all turned off. Back to Debra baby goo will go.
Amber needs to check back in to rehab but never check out, unless its to a higher power. -
LovetoReadHere Said,
That whole SIDS story gets stranger and stranger. Law enforcement in the community where the baby died ought to take a look at that death . . . (even though Amber was fake-crying). Something is not right–SIDS babies don’t hemmorage from the mouth.

KS Said,
The recap as always was hilarious! However, on a serious note…
Yes, Farrah is a bitch, but I can understand why. Her Mother is a passive/aggressive fruitcake. I think she worked and worked on Farrah until she finally gave in and said “OK, I’m leaving Sophia here.” Which is what Grandma Wield-a-Knife wanted. When she was talking about there are five other bedrooms there in the house, my immediate thought was “then why are you taking everything out of Farrah’s room to make that Sophia’s room.” O.K., true Farrah moved out, and is now moving out of state. But to me, by the parents moving Sophia into Farrah’s old room when there are other bedrooms available speaks of “you are being replaced.” Think of the way Debra acted when they had the big falling out and Farrah moved out, but after being guilted into it by her Dad invited her Mother along to Sophia’s birthday dinner. Say what you will about Farrah, she has become the better Mother on the show and is actually really good with Sophia. At one year old, Sophia would not really understand what her birthday is about, but Farrah took her out and spent TIME with her all day – which is great. When they got to the restaurant I have to admit, I felt so bad for her when she was trying to tell her parents that they had gone and painted pottery, and Sophia had her first mani/pedi – and her Mother sat there like an idiot making all kinds of noise and racket like a freak. I’m sure other patrons of the restaurant were thinking “what nut house did she escape from?” I think it’s things like that that have shaped Farrah into the person she has become, and yes, Deb is reaping what she sowed.
The best possible thing Farrah could do is move to Florida WITH Sophia and establish herself, her own life and learn about her own identity as a person and Mother. She will learn several things – one being she cannot treat everyone she runs across like crap. She needs to grow up, and she needs to get some intense help for her issues – both mentally and as depressed as she has become, medication would probably be beneficial.
Amber? Where do I even start? First of all – let me preface by saying I too lost a brother to SIDS when I was about the same age as Amber. That event has NOT caused me to run around and act like a stark raving lunatic. Do I remember it? Somewhat – but, I was also sharing a room with him too. I just remember my Mom walking into the room and commenting that “the baby didn’t wake us all up this morning.” When she picked him up from the crib, he was cold. After that, I recall there were a lot of people at the house, coming and going – my parents stayed back in their bedroom and various people came and went caring for myself and my brothers. I also recall friends and relatives came in and completely broke down all of the baby stuff so my parents would not have to deal with it. Years later, I asked my Mom about it and she told me them doing that “was the kindest thing anyone had ever done for her.” Was it traumatic to us all? Yes, of course it was – however, per my own Mom – who lost her child “Life goes on” and her reason for thinking that? She still had six kids to take care of that needed her too.
Amber was never that affected,i f she was we would have heard about it long before now. Additionally, as there is a theory that SIDS can run in families, the dumb broad would not have had that crib stuffed with all the crap she did. She is piece of shit for a human being and even worse as a mother. The saddiest thing to me about her and Gary? They could care less about their daughter (who the entire world literally refers to as “poor little Leah”), the only thing that the two of them care about is one upping the other.
The best thing that could happen to that poor child would be if more of the people that Amber so freely admitting to hating – you know ones that have the stones to say “hey you are a crap parent” or those that turned her in to CPS and the police – would keep watching over Leah and continue to let CPS and the police know when/if there are problems and hopefully they can put Leah in a home where she will be allowed to grow and flourish. As it is now, that poor little girl doesn’t stand a chance.

Anonymous Said,
Anyone else feel like there is just more to this SIDS story? Maybe her abusive mother and alcoholic father had some part in this and Amber still holds on to that memory.
-
SimplySarah Said,
Ugh, Dr. Drew. Such a creepy opportunist. Can we start a petition going to have Steve Wilkos host the next Teen Mom Reunion? Sure, guests wouldn’t be allowed to sit on chairs while on stage, which is weird and all, but there would be a lot more direct questions, perhaps a lie detector test or two and maybe some of these teenage twerps would even be thrown off the stage.

Anonymous Said,
Also, I’m not an Amber fan, but if you go back and watch her episode of 16&P, she does mention the baby that died.

Sultrysiren Said,
I dont even watch the show anymore. I just get the recaps from this site. Its been drug on too long with this boring drama. Catelynn is insecure. I can understand that. I went through it. But seriously, tlyer needs to come out. No man helps his chick pick iut an outfit to wear to the club or scream when his fave songcomes on, lol! Maci is boring and looking for things to whine about. Grow up, and get that paci iut of your kids mouth before he gets a lisp and permanent tooth damage. Who cares about amber anymore? Boring as the blanket shes always under. And I loved when farrahs teacher said she was bitchy and rude, lol! Hit the nail in the head. These girls got it made, they have no problems in their life. I wish I had it that good when I was 16 & prego.

ambers overreaction with her sisters death got to me too.my dad died when i was 3.yeah it sucks but i didnt become a screwed up mess and blame everything on that.one cute thing is they showed in the previews sophia making funny faces.it was hilarious!!

L-Train Said,
Annonymous- I don’t remember the SIDS thing come up in 16&p. In what context was it brought up back then?
-
funkster166 Said,
The only reason farrah “changed her mind” on TV about sophia,,is she didn’t want to like a bad mom and a bitch.. TOO LATE. Honestly make up your mind and be gratful for the support you have. I can totally see why she doesnt’ have any friends..good try DR Drew..you know it too.
Amber..please get a makeover fast and not one that involves press on nails and glitter and things from the Clair shop. Gary grow some balls and quit hanging onto amber..dude she doesn’t want you. Go on a diet,,get a makeover and move on. I think they both should let Gary’s mom adopt leah..she spends more time with her..then they do.
-
Andee Said,
1. Amber’s face while crying…it was like she was an Animorph morphing into a spider.
2. SIDS is an invisible death. Babies hemmorhaging from the nose and mouth is NOT sids. Did she have head trauma? It’s been mentioned the mom was an alcoholic/crack addict. I do not think that baby suddenly died. I don’t know if shaken baby syndrome can presebt with oronasal hemmorhage, but I.for sure do not think it was SIDS.
-
redredred Said,
@Andee, yeah, shaken babies can present with hemmorhaging like that. I’m thinking Amber’s Dad couldn’t cope with the baby crying and shook her, that does not sound like a SIDS death. Amber was old enough that seeing the stretcher and hearing her mother screaming and crying could have a profound effect on her, but I don’t know if I really believe that it does. When Leah was born she would have been super freaked out and checking on her constantly and worrying about SIDS, but she wasn’t. This just came out of no where this season.
Seriously Dr. Drew? You ask Farrah every single time if she has any friends and the answer is always NO. I think he’s just mean spirited, or maybe he just likes seeing the ugly cry. He knows just as well as the rest of us why she has no friends. She really needs to get out of this rut and quit ugly crying about Derek. On her 16 and pregnant episode they were broken up and then her phone rang, it was Derek saying he had heard she was pregnant and wondering if it was his, and she told him No. And now she can’t get over him or move on with her life??
-
redredred Said,
Oh, just thought of something else — Dr. Drew was asking Farrah if she though she would be able to afford school and living expenses and child care for Sophia — um, duh!! These girls are making gobs of money between MTV paying them for the show, plus all of the magazine covers/articles they get!

mones Said,
“It would be like a special Olympics event though. No matter who wins, they’re both still retarded.” – winner of the best comment on a blog post…EVER!
it’s quite possible that amber is high but i don’t think that’s the case with her speech and faces. i really think she’s playing up to the cameras. this bitch cannot be more insincere. she does the slurred speech and sleepy eyes whenever she’s being “serious” and talking about improving her life, being a good parent, etc. the face contortions when she was crying about her sister were more choreographed than a lady gaga red carpet appearance.

mones Said,
**i meant staged not choreographed.

CLJ Said,
L-Train, I just remember her mentioning that she had a brother who was deployed at the time (and cried like crazy when he called during a bbq) and a sister who died when she was very young.
I really felt that when Dr. Drew began asking Amber’s mom about the baby and Amber said, “Mom, don’t…” it was sincere. Amber’s brother (Shawn), Gary, and Amber herself have mentioned that they regret saying/doing certain things on TV because of the legal aspect coming back to haunt them. This may be reaching, but perhaps it’s an issue within their family that while the mother was at work, the alcoholic father (who is now dying of cirrhosis) shook or harmed the baby in some way, but the death was documented as SIDS.

teenmomager Said,
That poor baby was probably born addicted to crack and was detoxing
-
Kat79 Said,
First psorosis is a skin thing. Cirrhosis is the liver disease her dad has which he did to himself by drinking to much. Also I thought the hemmorhaging along with Amber’s reaction was weird so I looked it up and several SIDS websites say that babies bleed from the mouth and nose after sids related deaths. The body pushes out excess fluids just like any other death.
-
SimplySarah Said,
I think some of you are thinking of psoriasis.

i msised the episode but i had to read this..and i guess i read the part where you said debra said you better tack on 120 more hours, bc i thought you meant she really said that haha…i shouldnt read things at 3am anymore..anywaysss..i love how you call that girl margeret cho i said the same thing when she first appeared but poof now she dissapeared

your left ovary Said,
As a loss mom, I have to say that I hate how Dr. Drew blindsided Amber’s mom. I like to talk about my son, but not all BLPs like to discuss their loss publicly.
Amber brought up the loss and then acts like she doesn’t want to talk about it. Way to exploit the death of your sister.
I agree that when Farrah talks about Derek, she acts like they had this great relationship but she treated him like a stalker in her 16 & Pregnant episode. She’s just looking for something to blame for the fact that she’s about as fun and interesting as a wet freaking carrot. She wasn’t going to let him have anything to do with that kid anyway. Then he goes and dies and all of the sudden, they were meant to be and she becomes all nostalgic. -
Vicky Said,
Yea I gotta say I didn’t dig the special olympics comment.i have a brother with disabilities and this is a huge event for those that participate every year. That and comparing”kie” and “ryn”to the “retarded” (another term I hate) is pretty insulting to the population of people with disabilities…they’re not even close to cool or smart enough to hang with that group.
Does saying this make others compare me to amber totally overacting about her sister that died? *clicking post then throwing my computer out the second story window and kicking my husband down a flight if stairs -
jen_with_relish Said,
Amber could very well still be effected from her sister dying. The trauma alone from everything that surropunding the situation has nore than likely caused P.T.S.D. and has turned Amber into Crazytown.
When she bolted off stage she was clearly having a panic attack. Ever had one? Not fun. She was visibly triggered by her mom talking about it, (or should I say mumbling through her Xany haze).
Amber DID have issues when Leah was a baby. She went to the “clinic” and was put on anti-anxiety meds. Gary just made it all about him and her attitude towards him, so the true underlying issue was ignored. Anxiety mixed with post-partum is a nasty beeyitch.
While Amber may not have specific memories and true sadness from her sister, she has been dealing with the result of shitty parents coupled with tragedy ever since. Does that excuse her shitty-ass parenting? Absolutely not. Would having a trauma like that make her a more vigilant parent? Hell no. That’s like saying abused children make the best parents ever! Everything cycles and passes down.
Amber is going to have to face her demons. Until she does that she will continue with her struggles.
