I only watched the last episode in its entirety, and I was very proud of those kids. I was especially proud when the boy stood up to his father...

He is wise beyond his years and I really hope he and Catelynn stay together and get married (eventually). On the MTV blog, they printed his letter to his daughter in it's entirety (at he and Catelynn's request even). I dare someone to read that and not get misty-eyed. He will be a great dad someday.

Tyler standing up to his dad saying "It's not good enough...you weren't even here for me..." was a really powerful moment. Then he saved her blanket! :cry2: I think I'll wait until the reunion tonight to read the letter. Try and save all my tears for one time. ;)

OtherPplsDrama;101463 wrote:So I went over and watched this episode on MTV.com, I seriuosly cried the whole 43 minutes of it. What these 2 kids did was by far the most unselfish thing in the world. They gave that little girl a chance for a kind of life they never knew. They also gave Teresa and Brandon something they had been so desperately trying to have for themselves. I have no doubt in my mind that Carolyn will be loved so very much.

I wonder if there will be a season 2 for this show. If there is, it probably won't be for at least half a year, because they film throughout most of the pregnancy. Unless, they already started filming. But that would be a waste of time if the show completely bombed. (IDK how it did ratings-wise, but I've heard quite a bit of talk about it)

I have a feeling he probably just didn't take responsibility so she cut him out instead of trying to make him man up if you will. Her and her mom were awkward, but it's understandable if you have a moment like the broadcast all over the place. I bet it is still a touchy subject between them and there still seemed to be some tension about the whole pregnancy in general.
Farrah totally dodged the question about her mom being overbearing. She acted like she was scared to say anything otherwise. The two of them seemed a little awkward just now. And I want to know more about Farrah's "baby-daddy". It's not like he doesn't know now, so he must have tried to do something? I wonder what his story is since they don't talk about him at all, except that she wanted nothing to do with him from the beginning. Or did I miss something?

IIRC, all she really said about it in her interview was that she dated him for awhile, got pregnant, and wanted nothing to do with him so she didn't want to tell him. Which is her choice, but I just wondered if there was a bigger story behind it.

OtherPplsDrama;101716 wrote:Hmm, I bet there is. May be something as simple as not feeling like the guy was responsible enough. Who knows though. It does seem like there is more to the story though.

I know! I am not even that much older than them, but I just want to scoop them up and help them out.
OtherPplsDrama;101757 wrote:Seeing them interact I always got a feeling that they saw Catelynn and Tyler as their own children or own siblings. People they wanted to help as much as they were thankful for the gift they had been given. As people they respected instead of pitied.
I'd be ok if Brandon and Theresa adopted them too!
OtherPplsDrama;101771 wrote:haha, it really is a mini-me version of them!
I can't get over how much Amber and Gary's baby looks EXACTLY like the both of them! lol

Are the girls on this show actually 16? They all say that they're seniors in high school... I've just been wondering that for awhile.
I think I have missed 2 episodes, but Catelynn and Tyler are also my favorites. Seeing them interact with their family just really showed how much more mature they actually were...
