Teen Mom OG Reunion Recap: A Fiery Showdown
In the aftermath of a chilling, confusing and dramatic season finale, last night marked the first portion of MTV’s Teen Mom: OG reunion.
You know the routine:
Once season concludes, the fab four sit down with Dr. Drew, and often their significant others, to rehash the events of recent months.
Occasionally, there is an all-out melee. More commonly, the barbs exchanged are merely verbal, though that can be explosive enough.
When the episode got underway, Dr. Drew called Maci to the stage to discuss Ryan Edwards appearing to drive while under the influence.
Maci was quick to point out that Bentley felt “concerned” and “confused” about Ryan’s addiction and what it could mean for the future.
Dr. Drew was genuinely shocked by the footage of Ryan falling asleep while driving.
“When I see someone nodding off in the car like that, I think opiates,” he said to Maci. As if it was not bad enough that the producers showed Ryan in this state, Dr. Drew leaped to their defense.
The producers would not have let Ryan in the car. … They found out only after the fact, just like the rest of us.”
Something tells us they could have shut it down quicker. It was downright bizarre, but it did prove Maci’s suspicions.
Mackenzie was then brought on stage to have it out with Maci for everything she had been saying about Ryan’s addiction and treatment.
Mackenzie pointed out that things were looking good for Ryan’s recovery, and subsequently read out a letter she had written to Maci.
“You had known about his problems since November. … He could have died, and still, you said nothing.” She then accused Maci of “exploiting Ryan and his addiction on the show.”
The producers love drama, and if Maci is helping bring it, it will make sense that she would exploit Ryan’s addiction to keep her storyline fresh.
Dr. Drew then asked the two women to make things right because, well, it’s not a food situation for either party to be in. Whether they will be able to do so, we don’t know.
When Maci’s turn was up, Amber took to the stage to open up about her Matt Baier woes. When the episode was filmed, they were still living in the same house, but their relationship was in doubt.
Dr. Drew then called up Matt to find out about the financial entanglements for them. If you watch Teen Mom OG online, you will recall that Amber accused her man of stealing money from her.
While Matt denied all the allegations, Amber responded, “
“Where’s $ 60,000 dollars? Where’s $ 30,000? … Where’s 90 grand?”
Matt decided to make things worse, saying:
“It’s sitting in my backpack.”
Things seemed like they were ending on a happier note, with Amber saying “That’s the man I fell in love with.”
But then Matt said they had a rough few months, and Amber went ham.
“We’ve had a rough couple of [expletive] years. I have! And I’ve stood by your side! … You’ve gotta change.”
What did you think of the first part of the reunion?

The Voice Recap: Bring on the Live Semifinal Showdown!
Following the Top 10 results, paring the field down to eight last week, The Voice survivors steeled themselves for the epic battle ahead.
The margin for error? Getting slimmer by the minute … because FOUR SINGERS WILL BE OUT of the competition by this time tomorrow.
Who will earn one of the coveted four spots in the epic season finale? We have our favorites, but America as a whole will make that call.
Without further delay, let’s break down the top eight and see who punched their ticket to next week, and who might be sweating this out …
Christian Cuevas
Christian opted to perform to “To Worship I Live (Away)” by Israel & New Breed. Being this late in the game and fighting for your life in the game, you would think Christian would have tried to make the performance memorable. The vocals were on point, but it would not have hurt to change things up. Singing in the same style is not going to win him any more voters. Viewers want a versatile singer, who can change things up at the drop of a hat.
Ali Caldwell
Ali went with “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston. Ali genuinely delivered one of the better performances of the night. It was definitely her best performance throughout her stint on the show and hopefully she has made the cut to make it to Final 4.
Brendan Fletcher
Brendan went with “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan. You guys, Brendan has a strong voice, but like Christian Cuevas, he’s not changing things up enough to show off what else he has to offer. It’s sad, but this was his opportunity and he may well have blew it.
Wé McDonald
Wé needed a good performance after last week’s mediocre affair, but singing “Scars to your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara was not the way to go. She practically stumbled through the performance and it will probably result in her losing her ticket to the final.
Aaron Gibson
Aaron went with “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams. Let’s just say, he did not start performing until half way through. Seriously, it was like he was doing karaoke for the first half and becoming a star for the second.
Josh Gallagher
Josh went with “Danny’s Song” by Loggins & Messina. It was a solid performance, but not perfect. However, on a night with many dud performances, he should make it through.
Sundance Head
Sundance opted for “Love Can Build a Bridge” by The Judds. It was another solid performance that proved why he’s still in the competition. Final 4 is a no brainer for this one.
Billy Gilman
Billy completely murdered “I Surrender” by Celine Dion. Seriously, you guys, he ruined it and it will be shocking if he makes it through to the next stage.
Wé Mcdonald & Aaron Gibson
This duo opted to perform “FourFiveSeconds” by Rihanna & Paul McCartney. This was an odd song for a duet and it showed of Wé’s vocals way more than Aaron’s. Not fair.
Sundance Head & Josh Gallagher
This duo went with “Feelin’ Alright” by Joe Cocker. It was another one-sided duet that made it clear these are only a thing to fill the runtime of the show.
Christian Cuevas & Billy Gilman
“Unsteady” by X Ambassadors was a terrible, terrible song choice. If anything, it made me think worse of both artists.
Brendan Fletcher & Ali Caldwell
“It’s Only Love” by Bryan Adams and Tina Turner turned out to be a surprisingly effortless affair. However, one out of four duets being decent is just terrible.
That’s a wrap, you guys!
Who do you think will be eliminated?

Presidents Day Style Showdown: Lincoln vs. Washington!
Happy Presidents Day 2016! True American heroes don’t come any truer than these two … who we decided to pit against each other.
Why? To determine, once and for all, the greatest of all time. OF ALL TIME! In an epic Fashion Face-Off for the ages – sort of literally!
They were both A-plus chief executives, but which U.S. President do you love more, Abraham Lincoln or George Washington? That’s what we wanna know! View Poll »
Honest Abe and G-Dubs’ duds haven’t been popular in ages, yet by the same token, you never go out of style when you’re a titan of history.
The very first President of the United States, George Washington led the rebellion over Great Britain, then oversaw the birth of a nation.
Kinda puts the rest of our lives in unworthy perspective.
Except for Abraham Lincoln, who, four score and seven years later, delivered the Gettysburg Address, valiantly preserving the union.
Against similarly long odds, both leaders fought and delivered. In their respective eras and this one, they are true giants among men.
Ranking their achievements and legacies is impossible … but we can at least do fashion, right? So vote for the top Presidential attire above!
Then check out this gallery of a bunch of stars who have no business being POTUS, but hey, if we were forced to pick a celebrity …
