Behind the Screen: Teen Mom OG- MTV

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

April also took a trip to Las Vegas. I am thinking she probably gets a bit of pay for being in the show, but Catelynn probably gets more because she's the teen mom, obviously...

And I have a feeling that some of Catelynn's money goes to April and Butch, if April and Butch aren't getting paid for doing the show. Even if they are, I would not be surprised if Catelynn gave them money. Butch is in and out of jail and rehab and such.
That's true! I did notice in the last episode that April is driving around in a new BMW... I didnt think about it at the time, but I bet MTV bought that... meanwhile Catelynn doesn't even have a room!!!

April also took a trip to Las Vegas. I am thinking she probably gets a bit of pay for being in the show, but Catelynn probably gets more because she's the teen mom, obviously. But I wouldn't be surprised if April demanded Catelynn helped out financially OR if Catelynn freely helped them out (because Catelynn is sweet). I don't think there is anything wrong with helping family, but it would be good for Catelynn to have this for her future, so I hope they aren't spending all of it.

Yeah I agree... I hope that she's got money for college now... & that she's not squandering it all on keeping the peace at home... I'm really looking fwd to the reunion where it looks like April gets called out on some of the stuff she says...

Farrah has been growing on me this season, but watching how she treated in the finale reminded me of why I couldn't stand her in the first season. She has no respect for her mother and seems to appreaciate nothing that she does for her. I like Maci, but it seemed a little ridiculous that she wasn't willing to give Ryan one extra night. I understand that he hasn't always been good to her and Bentley, but he is the father and I think it's good that he's trying to make more an effort with his son. The Amber and Gary storyline is really getting old! I don't like either of them. They're both extremely immature. Watching Catelyn and Tyler with Carly was so sweet!! I know they'll make excellent parents some day :D

That was a great finale and I heard season 3 is filming.

I don't think C&T should continue to be on the show. They saw their baby, that was the perfect ending to their storyline IMO. But I have also yet to watch a full episode, so....

To me, they are the only couple worth watching on that show. I cannot tolerate the fat couple. The one whose Bentley's mom is just a B, and that Farrah girl is so self-absorbed that I sometimes forget she has a child.

I agree. I used to love Maci and I don't think she's a bad person but she's not who she's portrayed to be. Farrah has issues and I don't dislike her as much as everyone else seems to, but I don't like her. I'm not going to talk about Amber, not worth my time. I bawled my eyes out during the segment with Carly, Catelynn, Tyler, Theresa & Brandon. Only cause it hits so close to home, my birth mother actually just contacted to me. I'll be honest though, its time for MTV to move on. I feel like every seasons the girls get worse with the exception of Catelynn & Tyler.

I fully expected there to be some disagreement between Carly's sets of parents but there wasn't. I really think that is an amazing relationship among them. I was thinking when I watched it, "Maybe they will figure out a way for Catelynn and Tyler to have their own show like maybe going to college or something and ditch the rest of these people (including C&T's families)." It is great that Carly might get to watch these shows one day and really understand how and why it all went down the way it did.

If Ryan wasnt such a d*** then Maci wouldnt have to be a b**** to him.

Amen! I know some people think she just got a good edit, but I truly believe that she finally just got fed up with all the **** and started standing up for herself...and if that makes her a ***** in some peoples eyes, so be it, at least she isn't anyones doormat anymore. The Carly/Catelynn/Tyler reunion was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. As much as it made me want to ball my eyes out, I couldn't because that would have meant missing one little face or moment between them and that was way too good to miss. I would love for them to get thier own spin off or even stay on the show...I am emotionally invested in those kids already and there is no going back.

Derrick's K's comments on twitter about the teen mom reunion are comical...just sayin..

A spinoff is already in the process.

Never thought I'd like this show as much as I do.

I seriously hope Amber TRULY gets some help. That anger is just not cool one bit. Sometimes Gary is straight up tripping but a lot of the times Amber just lost it for no reason. Calling him all of those names and stuff, I dont know how or why Gary puts up with that. And that hitting?? WAY WAY WAY over the line. I mean she hit him once like near the steps right?? He could have fallen down the stairs. Then what?? She needs help. Through and through

I have so much respect for the four girls. Wow they are very strong women, and deserve so much more in life. I can't wait for season 3!

In case anyone is interested, you can donate to a college fund for Catelynn and Tyler. :) Teen Mom College Fund

Press release from Life and Style about the girls salaries...
"The Teen Mom stars earn $60,000 to $65,000 per season," a series insider tells Life & Style. It's enough to provide on-again, off-again couple Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley with comfortable lives--but neither one seems to be a good saver. "Gary says he's broke," Gary's best friend, Jordan Sanchez, tells Life & Style. "The money is the only reason he's willing to do the show. You can't walk away from money like that." It's true--in fact, Jordan tells Life & Style that Amber and Gary have already started filming the next season of Teen Mom in Tennessee. Lately, they've talked about moving to Florida, where Amber's uncle owns a business.

Does anyone know if she's actually gonna see a jail cell? And if she does and they continue with the Teen Mom series beyond season 3, will she be replaced or will they just have 3 moms? And if she does get repalced, who do yall think willw be her repalcement?

Any chance we'll get to see some new Teen Moms. I've only seen like 1 or 2 episodes of this show, but I would start watching if they showed Tyler and Nicole from 16&Pregnant Season 2. That would be interesting IMO.

I always wondered why they just continued with the same girls. I've seen a lot of the episodes of 16 & Pregnant, and some of the girls they show seem more interesting than the girls on Teen Mom. I don't really see how Maci and Caitlynn have anything more interesting going on; Maci's left Ryan and moved to where ever, and Caitlynn and Tyler are going to continue talking about Carly every episode, and that's getting kind of old. Farrah's only still interesting because of the drama between her and her mother and lord knows we all want to see more of Amber. At least I do, anyway. She amuses me to no end.

Well you might not see her IF she goes to jail...

Did anyone see that they've announced the new Moms? Leah Messer, Jenelle Evans, Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska... I think they're good choices though I don't really remember Chelsea... I'm interested to see if Leah & Corey worked things out...

I thought that they were keeping the same moms because I saw somewhere that Catelynn and Tyler were being filmed at a pumpkin patch in their hometown, and that Amber and Gary were filmed on vacation in Tennessee. Chelsea is the girl whose baby's father sent her that nasty text message, and in the text message, he called their child a mistake.

Oh nevermind...I see the video now. Lol. My bad dandelion.

Oh that's right! I didn't care for her story as much as the other three... but I like the other three stories...
