It’s hard to say exactly what it is about Teen Mom that draws fans in the way that it does, but it’s easy to guess that the cast members themselves provide most of the appeal. After all, many have been watching them grow and learn from their mistakes from the very beginning. But recently, the cast has gone through a major shakeup that threatened to change everything.
After a series of disagreements and fights, Farrah Abraham was recently fired from her place on Teen Mom OG. It became clear that she couldn’t see eye-to-eye with the cast or with the standards that MTV wanted to hold her to, so she and the network decided to part ways. It should go without saying that this wasn’t a particularly happy split, and Farrah had some nasty words to share about the network. It certainly changed Farrah’s life, but it also changed Teen Mom OG in a major way.

In fact, at first, fans could hardly believe the news that Farrah was no longer part of the cast. But after MTV confirmed it, they finished out the rest of the season of Teen Mom OG with only three girls: Catelynn, Maci, and Amber. Obviously, these three have had a rocky relationship with Farrah for years, so they weren’t too torn up about her loss. But considering that Teen Mom 2 recently gained a cast member, it was a bit strange to have only three cast members for Teen Mom OG.
Not everyone had a problem with it though: many viewers were happy that each of their favorite cast members got much more time on the show and that there was less intense drama all around. But soon it came out that MTV wasn’t going to let Amber, Catelynn, and Maci be the only cast members for very long.
