According to a source at The Challenge, Ashley and Cory were aware they were in the runnings for the position, so they have been “playing up the ‘happy co-parents’ role,” The Ashley reports.
“Their co-parenting relationship is nowhere near as happy as they try to make it out to be on social media,” the source clarified. “They will fit in perfectly on ‘Teen Mom.’”
Whether fans like it or not, it appears that the process is already underway. A source revealed that MTV has already sent film crews to Los Angeles to begin filming next week.
And it appears that many fans do not like it.

“So they chose someone who has never been a part of the franchise, ever? That seems like a poor choice, especially with the pool of dramatic 16&P girls they have to choose from.
I’m not interested in learning this girls story or anything about her. I will not be watching her segments. User chrissycakes8726 agreed, “WTH! What happened with Mackenzie McKee??? This is bullsh*t! This girl isn’t a part of this franchise in any way shape or form. She also had her first kid at 24…that’s not even close to a teen Mom.” GlitzAndGrit echoed the sentiment, writing “I’m not liking this decision. Not only is she not from the 16&P/TM shows, she was boring on MTV’s Challenge (never watched Are You The One so can’t speak to that), and she’s not even a teen mom.”
