In what I truly believe to be one of the worst reality series ideas ever, MTV showcases young moms-to-be. Not that 16 and Pregnant isn’t interesting, captivating and becoming highly popular. But it could also compel young women to get knocked up on purpose. The cable network appeals to a huge demographic of young teens…and now, all they have to do to become reality stars is have a baby. The first season of the series ends this week, but already MTV is looking ahead to the future with a second season.

The first season finale features Catelynn, and deviates slightly from the rest of the episodes in that this young mom plans to give her baby up for adoption. 16 offers up its entertainment in a documentary-style format, often following young mothers for several months after their babies are born.

Catelynn’s episode airs Thursday, July 16 on MTV. You can currently catch a sneak peek of the episode at the official site.
