User moolissy added, “That would be amazing.”
The Ashley’s Reality Roundup reported that Mackenzie was in fact battling Briana for the Teen Mom 2 position, but that she was eventually passed up for the role.
“There’s a production team that’s been going to Oklahoma to film Mackenzie over the past few weeks,” a crew member informed The Ashley back in February, around the time that Farrah’s firing was confirmed. “Right now, they are planning to use that footage to do a ‘Teen Mom’ special. It will likely be ‘Being Mackenzie’ but that hasn’t been totally confirmed yet.”
Despite her fans, Mackenzie was not selected to be on the show and the spot looked available for another familiar face.
There was another popular online rumor that the new Teen Mom OG would be Mackenzie Standifer, Ryan Edwards’ new wife.

A source told The Ashley in February, “They are planning to pay her around $3,000 an episode to take the fourth spot…That would obviously be significantly less than the other girls make. It is not a done deal yet, but the consensus is that Mackenzie Edwards will get the spot.”
They added, “Recently, they’ve been filming her life with Ryan for Maci‘s segment almost more than Maci’s life. Plus, she was a teenage mother so it kind of makes sense.”
Mackenzie has a preschool-aged son from a previous relationship and announced her second pregnancy in March. Given Ryan’s constant drama, fans thought that she could be a good pick!
They were shocked though when it looked like MTV wasn’t moving forward with either Mackenzie! According to The Ashley in June, MTV decided to go with a girl who has never been on any of the other shows in the franchise.
