When we polled "Teen Mom 2" viewers last week on whether or not they thought Kailyn should get back together with Jo (61 percent said yes), we never considered that Jo would be opposed to the possibility. Maybe it was presumptuous of us--certainly a bit naive--but because the former couple had just hooked up, and because they share a child, it seemed reasonable that both of them would be interested in trying to work things out. Yet as we saw on tonight's season finale, Jo didn't have any intention of rekindling a relationship with Kail, despite the fact that she appeared willing to break up with Jordan to start over with him.

In the below clip from our final "Teen Mom 2 After Show" of Season 2, Kailyn tells SuChin Pak that she was blindsided by Jo's rejection and also quite embarrassed that he shared details about the night they spent together while the cameras were rolling. "It just made me feel like he used me," she says. "He didn't really care about it and he's telling people our super private life."

Towards the end of tonight's "Teen Mom 2" season finale, Jenelle returned home from rehab and was greeted by a great big smile and embrace from her mother. It was touching to hear Barbara comment how much she missed her daughter, as we've never actually witnessed that type of affection demonstrated between the two. And Barbara certainly had reason to beam. For the first time in a long time, her daughter appeared focused and content.

Jenelle was fighting an uphill battle throughout most of Season 2. Carrying on her shoulders the weight of a doomed relationship, various legal problems and worsening substance abuse problem, she might have remained in a constant, self-destructive cycle if not for her decision to go to rehab and accept treatment for marijuana addiction and bipolar disorder. We commend her courage for finally confronting her issues head-on, and for also keeping up the good work.

When "Rivals" first began, there were certain teams we never expected to get past their grievances and start fresh. Tyler and Johnny were one of those pairings, but their willingness to work together --utilizing an equal amount of brains and brawn--and form an impenetrable bromance proved us completely wrong. On tonight's "Challenge" finale, we cracked a huge smile when they took home the $100,000 prize.

Also surprising us with a win were Paula and Evelyn, who, despite their VERY rocky past, were able to push each other far enough to come in first. After seven failed attempts, Walnuts can now proudly stick up her middle finger at everyone who's ever thrown that stat in her face (like us).

+ How do you feel about the two teams that won? Were they the most deserving, or do you think Kenny and Wes or Cara Maria and Laurel worked harder? Take the poll!

It's been a roller-coaster season filled with heated Bryson vs. Louis debates, and on tonight's "My Life as Liz" finale, fate stepped in to help along the decision-making process--Louis booked a three-month tour with Augustine and Sully accidentally let it rip that Bryson's in love with Liz (to which Bryson added, "I always have been."). But even with all this new information, something tells us that Liz is still confused.

Louis and Liz left things off with an agreement to be single and then see what happens when he gets back into town, but this sudden Bryson development may hinder plans for a romantic reunion between them. So once and for all we're asking you to share some advice with Liz: Should she try again with Bryson now that she 110 percent knows his true feelings, or should she remain single and possibly try to reconnect with Louis in a few months? Take the poll!

On tonight's season finale of "Taking The Stage," we watched a cacophony of high school drama go down, but in between the battles and breakups there were also a few top-notch performances.

Wish you could've seen the entire Dance Crew Competition, or just haven't had your fill of Adam's sultry voice? Check out these two exclusive performances of both Tyler and Adam doing what they do best: killin' it. We're gonna miss these guys!

Journalism Rule #663: When you get a chance to interview a budding fashion designer about her lacy, fancy-pants finale ensemble (plus fawn over its sleek sophistication), you want to word yourself carefully. Like, if your mind's not made up over who's got the best style on her hit show, it might behoove you to ask about the gal with the second best fashion sense.

So, think you know Whit Port's answer to our pop quiz? Well, props to you, cuz we certainly weren't expecting her to name Olivia Palermo! (No 'ffense to Liv -- we wish we had her wardrobe. It's just that she and Whit haven't always appeared best of friends.) Anyway, check out the nice things Whitney had to say about her co-star's closet full of goodies:

Holy deja vous! It's time for yet another live event held in NYC to celebrate the end of a drama-filled show season. But we're not just talkin' about one series this go 'round. Tonight, we're setting up shop in MTV's Times Square studio to bring you all the behind-the-scenes action as the Hills AND City cast members prep for their appearances on the Finale After Show (11pm).

The writers formerly known as Control Freak (moi) and Show Girl (Debbie Newman) cordially invite you to the par-tay, and natch, we've showed up nice and early ... (First dibs on the free snacks yo!)

8:30pm - We're lurking in the hallway outside the studio and keeping tabs on all our favorite Hills/City stars.

8:32pm - Erin and Roxy are sitting side by side on a couch backstage while Brody looks around for his bros. Wait, Whitney Port just walked in! Brody greets her with a catcall and a giant bear hug, shouting "look at those legs!"

8:40pm - Hills reunion! Stacie the Bartender just called Kristin over and the gal pals joined Holly Montag in a three-way hug. (Enough of the bonding, ladies, let's see some pre-show drama!)

8:45pm - Are we blinded by Roxy's sparkle top or is Whitney's all-black ensemble the very definition of City chic? Note to self: throw out everything in wardrobe. Replace with lacy black shirts and sequined blazers.

8:48pm - Breaking: Justin Bobby is standing so close to us we can actually SMELL HIS COLOGNE. That is, in those brief, fleeting moments when we actually remember to breathe ...

8:51pm - A photographer just pulled Justin and Kristin away for a private 'bumper' shot! We're not sure exactly what that means, but we're hoping it involves Stacie the Bartender ...

8:53pm - Trying not to gawk at Whitney and Roxy's four-inch stiletto heels. Erin Kaplan's made an admirable effort with the three-inchers, but unfortunately that's just not gonna cut it tonight ...

8:57pm - Whit just told Roxy her hair looks beautiful.

9:05pm - Watching our blogging partner-in-crime interview Roxy from The City. She's doing a good job of not cracking up at the words "crotch tattoo."

9:18pm - The show's already in full-swing, but backstage the vibe's pretty laid back. Holly just walked up to Olivia and introduced herself, then told her how beautiful she looks each week on The City. That's one way to get on Liv's good side ...

9:34pm - Commercial break! The MTV photographers are starting to round up all the City girls for a group photo. Meanwhile, Whitney's trying to fish her own camera out of her bag! Whit sez she wants to "document" this herself!

9:44pm - We just interviewed Whitney Port with the Flip Camera -- and had to stand on our tippy toes. She's so tall, and those legs go on for days!

9:52pm - We're listening to Holly gush about her BFF (and new roomie!?) Stacie and watching Justin politely trying to ignore all the lusty looks from the ladies on the press line ...

10:03pm - Just grabbed ourselves a sneaky slice of pizza (what? we're working!) and peeked our heads into the press room. Natch, all anybody wants to know is whether Kristin and Justin are "officially" boyfriend-girlfriend. For the record, girl's not giving much away.

10:15pm - Peaced outta Pizzaville and popped into the studio! The Hills finale's in full swing, and right now the entire room (which is, admittedly, 99.9% female) is booing Jayde for trying to lock Brody down. Sorry, lady, but the fans have spoken!

10:40pm - Watching the City finale from the press room. Justin and Holly are totally bonding over their mutual affection for NYC.

10:45pm - Justin really digs his Chapstick. And we're happy to watch him apply it over and over again. (Gives us an excuse to stare longingly at his lips!)

10:49pm - During a brief chat with K-Cav, she tells us that it's kinda "scary" to fight with Jayde! Audrina not so much.

10:53pm - Fact: Waiting in line for the bathroom is a lot more fun when Stacie the Bartender's standing two people in front of you. We just watched her lather, rinse and repeat without ever putting down her cell phone. Hope it's water resistant!

10:58pm - Wow, Brody's really hot. When he's talking to you, it's like you're the only one in the room! So what did he have to say? In a nutshell, relationships are hard work.

11pm - Got an amazing text from our studio spy and PA, Whitney Little: Brody Jenner apparently stripped his shirt off for a super fan! He refused to flash his chest tat for her while on the air but took the lucky lady aside for a private peek as soon as the cameras stopped rolling.

11:09pm - Found out why Whitney's got a big ole Band-Aid on her thumb -- she cut herself slicing bread this morning. City stars: they really ARE just like us!

11:23pm - Commercial time! Chants of "I love you, Whitney!" break out from the crowd while Roxy gives Jessi an impromptu dance lesson ... to the tune of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi."

11:34pm - The good news? Just bumped into Lo Bosworth in the hall! The bad news? She's got her coat on and is preparing to jet.

11:35pm - Lo (and an equally bundled-up Audrina) are screaming, giggling and racing down the corridor with Brody. Yep, just another day at the office.

11:40pm - The show's over, but the night's still young for the Hills/City casties! Whitney and Roxy are saying their final g'byes and making plans to pick up Sami on their way to the after party.

11:43pm - Spotted: Kristin and Justin exchanging high-fives with Stace and Holly for a job well done on the After Show. In his rush to get out, Justin practically runs over a nearby light fixture (oh, to be made of metal!) while K-Cav agrees to give one last quickie interview before joining the crew for drinks.

11:48pm - Kristin finally makes her escape in a flurry of hugs, air kisses and "I love you's."

11:50pm - Oww. Next time we're wearing sneakers -- who knew we would get blisters running around backstage?

Last night's season finale of The Hills was quite the tearjerker! There were long-awaited apologies, heartfelt wedding vows and even an 'I love you' exchange between now ex-ex-bff's Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag Pratt.

Amidst all the excitement, you may have noticed some audio probs during the broadcast (oops, our bad) -- which is why MTV's re-airing the finale tonight at 10pm, immediately followed by more 'I Do' deets on The Hills Presents: Speidi's Wedding Unveiled.

Like Spencer Pratt before us, we're stuffin' our face with some humble pie, doling out our sincerest apologies and telling you to tune in tonight for more Hills fever!
