Tonight was the premiere of season 2 of "16 and Pregnant" on MTV. My friend Lauren got me into this show last summer and it's now one of my addictions. I will be recapping the episodes of this season on this blog, along with "Survivor" and "Saturday Night Live".
Tonight's season premiere highlighted Jenelle, a 16-year-old party girl from Oak Island, NC. She is currently dating Andrew, a former model who is currently out of a job, a heavy drinker, had his driver's license taken away from him and still lives with his parents 4 hours away from her. Things in her world change when she discovers she's pregnant. Her mom, Barbara, and Andrew don't get along, and she and her mom argue a lot about Andrew not stepping up to help her. As the baby's due date gets nearer, Jenelle begins to realize that her mom has a good point, and she gets into a big fight with him one night when she's out with her friends.
Andrew does show up in time for Jenelle's baby to be born, and after 12 hours of labor, she gives birth to a baby boy named Jace. Andrew and Barbara ignore each other and Jenelle and Barbara argue about Andrew once again. After she is allowed to go home, Jenelle continues to go out with her friends and go to parties while Barbara takes care of Jace. This doesn't sit well with Barbara and she and Jenelle get into several more arguments about her behavior. All the while, Andrew hasn't been in contact with Jenelle and when he finally does call her, she learns he spent a week in jail for DUI, and he is continuing to drink even after spending time in jail. This is the final straw for Jenelle and after one last argument, she breaks up with him.
Barbara and Jenelle get into a huge argument about her behavior. Barbara thinks that at some point Jenelle will get up and leave Jace behind and never come back. Jenelle argues about it and threatens to move out with Jace and disown her family once she turns 18. Her friends Lauren and Amber come over and they talk for awhile, and they tell her that she needs to stay home with Jace more often, and Jenelle sees the light in that. She makes up with her mom, stays at home more often and tells her mom that she would like her help to take care of Jace. She plans on graduating high school early and getting a job to help support her and Jace.
I think this was a pretty good premiere episode. I liked Jenelle although I do agree that she did need to take responsibility and take care of Jace more often, and she did that in the end. I do hope she finds something that helps her and her mom and Jace get through life together. And I applaud her for breaking it off with Andrew because even she had some doubts that he was the right one for her. She was strong and broke it off with him.
Next week's episode will feature a girl named Nikkole. I can't wait. The new episode of "Survivor" will be on Thursday. SNL will not be on because of the Olympics, but will return on the 27th. I will keep you posted on anything that happens in my life between now and then.
Love y'all,
