Also understand that people like Farrah and crazy Janelle have a reason for behaving the way they do. It's called job security. You don't really need to convince a crazy person that is pulling in ratings and tons of cash to continue with said craziness.

Debra drives me batty. everything about her.
& I think her mom is to blame for most of Farrah's ****ty, bratty attitude.

I'm pretty sure I would be completely fed up with my mom if she was like Debra. If it's not scripted, then I would despise her for only asking questions and acting interested in my life when the cameras were rolling, like the sisters say she does. I pretty much only watch the show to read the evil and hilarious blog about it. It's called I'm Bringing Blogging Back and it's the most awesome blog ever, btw.

I LOVE IBBB. Patrick is hilarious.

When i first discovered IBBB i wasn't prepared for the awesomeness and spit water all over my laptop because i laughed so hard.

Amber is hands down the fakest. But the thing that makes it worse? She believes that she is believable! She's a total turd, and Gary needs to get over her already.

I don't feel like he show is scripted. But I I DO feel like the girls have developed this thought that they are actresses now so they behave and talk differently.

Farrah drives me mad. Seriously. Her mom and her deserve eachother.
Amber just needs to grow up already and get some serious therapy.
Macy....I got nothin right now. Generally I'm fine with her.
Catelynn is just awesome. I'm always proud of her.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. This is kind of how I figured it was but I wasn't certain.


I think the Daniel guy Farrah found seems good, looks like he makes her happy visa versa.

Amber drives me NUTS! The whining ugh

Macy I like although occasionally she makes me want to slap her

Caitlyn is so mature, she is different, I like

The only reason I even watch teen mom anymore is to read IBBB the next day. I seriously watch the episodes thinking of things he will write, and hoping for things he will notice that I noticed LOL

I just love that amber wanted everyone to think she went to rehab for anger management. That girl was on drugs. It was so clear. And obviously, the anger management worked so well after watching last night.

I was a little displeased that Farrah is already talking about going to Austin with this dude and already had her little girl around him. I'm going to hope its just one of those things where she's known him much longer but there was just no filming of them for a while.

She's the worst with that, but many of my friends (who aren't teens) post pictures on facebook of their kids in the car and RARELY is their child correctly strapped in and they almost all forward face their kids on their 1st birthday. I honestly think it should be mandatory to get a lesson on how to correctly buckle a child when you buy a carseat. It's insane how many people don't know how to do it.

Very occasionally someone on the production side will ask them to repeat something they just said because the camera or sound didn't pick it up.

I would hope it would be better if it were scripted.


Regarding Amber, I swear I heard a collective groan when she sat in therapy and said "I'm a damn good mom!". I admit I yelled at my TV when she said that. Pushing out a baby doesn't make you a good mom. That girl needs extensive therapy before she'd be a good parent to a plant.
