I only watch for Janelle antics, Teen Mom 1 is so much better...
Discussion thread about Teen Mom 2: Season 2 with 30 replies from the Vevmo community.
Well I couldn't find a Teen Mom 2, Season 2 thread so I figured I'd start one. My take on the Teen Mom 2 cast: Jennelle - I used to have a lot of sympathy for Jenelle because I felt like she meant well and just wanted friends, and had the mother from hell who was always on her case. But the more I watch, the more I see that she brings a lot of the drama on herself and she's beginning to sound like a broken record. It's always the same story of, "Hi mom, take me back, I wanna focus on my life and I'm done with Kieffer because he did this and that..." then she goes right back to him and when her mother gets angry, she makes excuses for him and makes him out to be perfect. and in this past episode she said, "my friends are all sick of my drama," no kidding! maybe there's a reason for it. she forgives and forgets with the friends who treat her like ***, but her few true, loyal friends, like Tori, she treats like ***. Kailyn - Intelligent and a hard worker and seems like a good FRIEND, but not such a good girlfriend, and the way she behaved on the first season indicates to me she's very manipulative and somewhat lacks the ability to see other ppl's perspective. Joe and his family took her in when she was pregnant and had no one, only for her to turn around and cheat on him and find a new boyfriend, all while still living under their roof. She is more like her mother than she thinks. However, I also think she is smart and very socially aware of how society and the general public works, much more so than I was at her age. Leah - Honestly, I skip through a lot of her scenes, I don't know why, I just never found her and Cory interesting. She strikes me as someone who is very private, so I don't see a lot of her personality shine through the way I do with the other girls. Chelsea - Strikes me as a fun girl to hang out with, and seems very laid back and open about her life. She also seems very real, doesn't act for the cameras and not manipulative in the slightest, what you see is what you get. Adam needs to grow up, but he could be worse. I also think there's a reason he probably always ends up leaving her, there's something she does that drives him away.

And not to mention everytime she sees Janelle with Keiffer. Funny ****. As for Kailyn I simply get the feeling she overreacted to her mom writing her a note telling her simply to clean her room up. I know by now and MTV should know by now that whenever a note is involved in any of their programs that **** will hit the fan. All Kailyn had to do was simply go to the boyfriend and her mom and let her know that she didn't appreciate the mean letter.
Oh, I forgot! The parents are the true stars of this season... Janelle's mom, Barbara, is the best. "KEEEEFAAAAAHHHH!" Kailyn's mom reacted to her moving out and taking ALL the furniture by demanding the tv back, then subsequently the remote she forgot to return as well. Really? Really? Ha!

fabulous788;292677 wrote:I followed that trainwreck on Twitter a few days ago. Both sides were posting pictures of the other in compromising positions and situations. Both sides also threatened legal action against the other. This doesn't surprise me in the least, especially after reading her Facebook rant... Errr... I mean post. I just wonder when all of this will stop and she'll be able to gain custody back of her son. He should be number one in her life and it's heart breaking to see him (it appears) be pushed aside.

I don't understand why all the Teen Moms pretend to be broke, they must be earning $50k per episode if the Jersey Shore kids are on $100K+.
ILoveRW;292979 wrote:I can only speculate that it has something to do with not glorifying teen pregnancy. I'm sure the last thing MTV wants is to have countless teen girls getting pregnant thinking they can be set for life AND gain fame. From what I've read regarding their pay, it's part of the air-tight contract to not discuss it. At all.

If that article is legit then this is so unfair. Argh!!
Nostalgic;294544 wrote:How do you know she cheated?
I saw that yesterday as well. I still think she should've worked things out with Corey instead of cheating on him like she did.
Dandelion;294549 wrote:Common Knowledge as she admitted to it more than once and also there was as article about it on Radar online. In other news Farrah and Leah have been hanging out according to Radar as well. Also, apparently there's rumors that Kaitlyn might be lesbian.
How do you know she cheated?

Just watched this weeks episode last night with a bottle of red wine. The continuity errors are KILLING me this season. Seriously, Mtv? Really?
LaneV95;295948 wrote:It's more of "series 2" not season 2. The girls on this season have been there since the beginning of Teen Mom 2. Corey's chill, you're right. Leah not so much as she was initially. Chelsea is not an idiot as hung up as she is which I can understand as he was her first love. Kailyn is ridiculous. She's taking lessons it seems from Leah.
I tried watching this back in the day.. But the problem with the season 2 girls is they are so annoying and unbearable to watch I like their boyfriends/parents a lot better than them. I can't stand that hoe Leah but Corey seems like a chill guy. I hate Jennelle, her mom is okay. The other two are just idiots.
Yeah I guess here we just still used the regular Teen Mom Thread. So far I like everyone but Chelsea who is like a knockoff of Farrah and Janelle who is so damn disrespectful it's pitiful...
