Teen Mom Reunion Part 1 **spoilers**
Anyone else watch this?
Farrah is such a trainwreck. Can't believe she decided (in front of a live audience) to drop the bomb on Debra that she changed her mind and wants Sophia with her most of the time in Florida. Wow.
Amber and her lashes, LOL. She looked sedated and under the influence of some heavy stuff, IMO, especially when Dr. Drew brought her up baby sister's death. Didn't realize she's now facing 3 years in jail, how did that happen?
Gary without a tight t-shirt, wow! Good for him. My God they are absolutely TOXIC together. Can't believe he thinks/says he's in love with her.
Looking forward to the Tyler/Catelynn and Maci/Kyle/Ryan interviews next week.
Thoughts?
Re: Teen Mom Reunion Part 1 **spoilers**
I feel very bad for Farrah- Derek's death is and always will be hard for her to handle. She has gotten a little bit better, but maybe she will realize after moving there she really does need time for herself to grow and mature and find herself- without Sophia.
Amber def. looked drugged. Maybe how her parents handled her baby sister's death is what makes that difficult for her? Gary really loves her, but they just shouldnt be together- they fight like cats and dogs. He loves to push her buttons and she is a drama queen psycho.
Catelynn needs to be an adoption counselor, she is so mature and so smart for her age!
I cant stand Ryan, he is a POS.
I wonder if this was taped before or after Amber's suicide attempt, but it looks like that won't be brought up.
Why was Dr. Drew focusing so much on the SIDS thing? I feel like the producers pushed him to go into detail because they knew it would be drama. I get that it's painful for her still, I just don't see what it has to do with the show and why they had to talk about it so much. And yeah, she was totally on drugs.
I feel bad for Farrah, and this is the first time I've felt that way. I think Derek's death has really taken a toll on her and while I could never leave my baby behind, it might be good for her to focus on herself, get some counseling to deal with her issues, and bring Sophia to Florida once she's settled and more stable. I have never been a fan of hers, but for some reason, last night made me empathize with her a bit.
Amber. Oh Amber. I don't have words to describe the lashes but they made her eyes disappear! All you saw were the horrible lashes. Why Gary still wants to be with her, I'll never know. They are toxic together and Leah definitely doesn't need to grow up with that. I love how she said she was changed, and a new person, yet when Gary said something to her, she just resorted to the same old low blows, eye rolling, and disgusted face. She really needs to learn how to deal with people in a more mature and respectful manner.
I feel the same way!
This exactly.
Same with Farrah... I'm sorry, but we all saw on 16 and pregnant how she stopped talking to Derek, changed her # so he couldn't contact her and didn't even tell him she was pregnant with his child. I can understand her being upset at the fact that her child lost her father, living with regret, etc. but I think she uses his death as an excuse for some of her behavior as well.
Farrah, Farrah, Farrah.... I feel badly for her.
Amber... those lashes are terrible! And as soon as I saw her I thought she looked high.
Debra forbid Farrah from talking to Derek. Debra told Farrah not to tell Derek about the baby. Debra told Farrah it would be best to change her number. I can totally see how a 16 year old already going through the emotional time of being pregnant would be extra influenced by her crazy pants mother.
I think that contributes to why Farrah is the way she is now emotionally. I totally think she has regret about the way she handled things, and that's where a lot of the animosity with her mom comes from because she listened to her advice about how to handle it. For a while, Debra told Farrah to just ignore all of her emotions about his death. I am happy to see Debra being more understanding this season.
I have heard that but I really just don't buy that her mom was the *only* reason she cut Derek off. I think Farrah blames everyone else for all of her problems and unhappiness instead of taking some responsibility for her actions. I'm not saying her mom didn't say those things but clearly Farrah does what she wants despite others opinions.
Gary wore a long sleeved button down and short.
It is annoying that they're trying to stir sh!t up and create drama over something that happened 15 years ago. She certainly has enough going on in her life that harping on the SIDS death seems unnecessary.
Farrah is really struggling with depression. I think they avoided discussing it overtly on the show and rather just hinted around at it. I don't think it's unreasonable for her to get some good treatment and relieve some of the stress of being Sophia's caregiver and dealing with her BSC mother. She even said that she is sad and angry all of the time and it is beginning to affect Sophia. So good for her, I hope she gets herself healthy, despite all of the hate she's getting for the choice (which is probably what made her change her mind).
I agree with this. I think that one of the hardest things to come to terms with when someone dies is regrets if you have any. My H's father died 10+ years ago and he still struggles to this day with regrets he has about their relationship.

Farrah is ridiculous. I truly cannot stand her. "I have no friends" omg what a SHOCKER. Surely it's not her naturally sunny disposition that is keeping them away!
I LOVE the previews for next week and how Sophia rawrs. That is WAY too cute. I watched that clip 3 times!
I am pretty sure Amber was stoned on stage. I always think she is though.
A friend of mine actually speculated that Amber killed her sister (perhaps accidentally) and that is why she is still so traumatized by the entire ordeal. It's a tough sell, sure, no one likes to believe kids do those things, but I don't dismiss the theory.
I usually agree with Funky but I'm totally with you on this one, Cuardraro
Sigh, I could hardly pay attention. These reunions are the worst because it's like a intensive half-therapy session with Dr. Drew in front of a crowd, and it just seems so uncomfortable for all parties involved. I don't really see what the point is anyway since most of the reunion is a look back on what already happened during the season...but I'll get off my soap box now.
The theory about Amber and the SIDS incident is very interesting. When they showed her episode during the season of when it was her sister's birthday I assumed that it was a sister whom she was close with who died during childhood or something - not a baby when she was 4 years old! I was really surprised that she is still not able to cope with that. The situation would be traumatizing yes, but that seemed a little much.
I think there is more to the SIDS story too. When her mom was telling the story something felt off. I think Amber or her mom might blame her dad (he was supposed to be caring for the baby while mom was working right?) and now they are divorced? Or maybe blames herself? Or blame was tossed around period. Something is definitely deeper going on there. She walked off when her mom started getting specific.
I agree. Something was weird about that story. I had a hard time following Amber's mom's story, but didn't she say when she came home from work and picked up the baby, the baby had her hand over her nose or something? As if to impky she suffocated herself? I may have totally heard that wrong, but we didn't really get the whole story because Amber left right in the middle. I wonder if they will continue the story next week.
And yeah, I think it's a bit odd for Amber to have such an emotional reaction to the death. Unless this was something she was never able to previously address....

Agree - something weird there. And why is Dr Drew focusing on it?
I watched the Sophia rawr clip over and over too! It is so stickin cute.
Biitch.
Buuurrrrn.
Am I banned from the lunch table now?
BTW, just noticed your sig- congrats!!!
I'm pretty sure Amer's mom actually said the baby was 2 or 2.5 weeks old when she died.
yes, she said 2.5 weeks old. I remember thinking how unfortunate it was that she had to go back to work that early since I couldn't even sit down yet at that point.
