On the season premiere of Teen Mom, we saw unfiltered, uncensored and sometimes behind the scenes drama from each of the fab four.
If you follow the show, specially lately, you know the OGs’ (for original girls, not gangstas) lives are shown in an unusual filming style.
On MTV’s Teen Mom Season 12 Episode 1, and Teen Mom Season 12 Episode 2, we saw the young women at their best and worst.
When it comes to tackling motherhood, relationships, or parents and producers that won’t step TF off (in Farrah’s case), life is a challenge.
Let’s break down what we learned Monday about Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell, Amber Portwood and Farrah Abraham, shall we?
Tyler wants to see d–k in Catelynn’s face
If you watch Teen Mom online, you Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell are something of a golden couple, weathering so many storms.
It’s precisely for that reason that he didn’t see an issue going to a strip club for his bachelor party, despite Cate’s many misgivings.
“If I was gonna cheat on you,” Tyler told his concerned fiancee, “I would have done it so many times by now. But I’m not.” Later,
Despite him telling her that it goes both ways and “I want you to get a d–k in your face with a male stripper,” she was unmoved.
Cate also had to get a new wedding dress due to her shifting baby weight, but on that front, she rolled with the punches as usual.
Meanwhile, Tyler’s father Butch got out of prison and enjoyed a tearful reunion as he is hopefully a changed man for good this time.
Amber Portwood vs. Gary Shirley vs … Leah?
Not only is Amber battling her former fiance for 50/50 custody of their daughter, it appears that Leah is putting them against each other.
“She makes me upset,” the resourceful youngan told her dad. “She’s not fun like you ’cause she doesn’t want to spend time with me.”
That’s sure to tug at any dad’s heartstrings, but later, Leah turned the tables and told Amber that Gary kind of ignored her at Disneyland.
Meanwhile, Amber’s anxiety is still a big problem.
She’s remained committed to her sobriety, to her credit, but admitted to fiance Matt Baier that “I get anxious everywhere I go.
Despite repeated trips to the hospital for anxiety attacks, she doesn’t want to go on medication – for fear of addiction issues.
“It’s the fact of taking prescription pills that I’m not comfortable with,” Amber said, revealing a very real and potent struggle.
Ryan Edwards still kind of sucks at life
Maci Bookout is apparently willing to have her children appear on the same show as Farrah Abraham now, so that’s nice, we guess.
Principles are great, but money talks.
She and Taylor McKinney seem to be doing well (even if he won’t man up and propose), but her original baby daddy Ryan Edwards?
Let’s just say he’s as useless as ever.
After not showing up at Bentley’s first day of school, he defended his absence by saying that “It’s just his first day in another grade.”
Some people truly don’t get it.
Inside Farrah Abraham
What a bizarro experience it must be to wake up in Farrah Abraham’s head space every morning. Just for a day, we’d love to try it.
You know, just to see what it is like.
Where do even begin with her? She and Simon Saran decided to reevaluate their relationship on camera two weeks after they broke up.
What a surprise how producers talked them into that one. And what a surprise that their half-assed attempts at reconciliation failed.
Basically, Farrah called Simon a bad influence on her daughter, as well as a b!tch, and peaced out on a dinner date at a restaurant.
Meanwhile, after Farrah and mom Debra got into one of their unnecessarily huge daily feuds, her daughter Sophia hit Farrah repeatedly.
“Stop hitting people,” Farrah said, without really trying to stop her (hey, at least she didn’t give her $ 600 from the tooth fairy … oh wait).
Then Abraham zinged Debbo so hard by telling her “Somebody who is blind and I could just pay, could [babysit] better than you.”
Damn.
