Top 10 Craziest My Super Sweet 16 Meltdowns
#10: Escape to Santa Barbara “Ava”
Ava is constantly butting heads with her parents. After arguing about the dress, the car, the venue, and the quality of fashion stores in Paris, Ava acts out yet again and heads off on an impromptu trip to Santa Barbara. Unfortunately, her mom gets wind of this and cancels her credit card. It all comes to a head at her fancy birthday dinner, where they tell her she’s not getting the Range Rover she wants because she doesn’t respect them. She bursts into tears at the table, but considering her behavior up until this point, it’s tough to feel sympathetic. Of course, she winds up getting the car for her big day anyway.
#9: A Series of Unfortunate Events “Erin”
Top 10 Craziest My Super Sweet 16 Parties
There’s a lot that can go wrong when you’re planning the “bombest, flyest, freshest party ever.” Especially when you insult the people helping you! Things first go wrong when no one shows up to fetch Erin’s party invitations. Then, on the day of her party, her make-up artist Damien is late, and Erin’s constant complaints and insults lead him to leave. During the party, her celebrity stylist Jason, who she’d also insulted, goes AWOL, meaning that - alas - she can’t change outfits as planned. The icing on the cake? The party is then shut down by the cops. So yeah, this meltdown wasn’t ENTIRELY without cause. But that doesn’t make it less epic.
#8: The Dance Lesson Debacle “Janelle”
Top 10 Craziest Meltdowns on The Bachelor
Janelle wants the works for her Quinceañera, and that includes having her friends learn how to do a traditional waltz for the party. Janelle may be a dancer, but most of the kids who make up her “court” are not, and she has no empathy for their difficulties - even calling them “stupid”. Things quickly turn ugly as dance class drags on. Learning to dance is hard enough already, let alone with an angry teen yelling at you the entire time about how you’re going to ruin her birthday party.
#7: The Not So Fashionably Late Blazer “Bjorn”
Top 10 Things You Never Knew About My Super Sweet 16
He might have been relatively well-behaved, compared to the other teens on the show. But even Bjorn started losing it when his party planning began to fall apart. Since his party is fashioned themed, his outfit is vital in making the night perfect. It features a bejewelled blazer with his name on the back. Unfortunately, the blazer is late arriving – VERY late. Bjorn is stuck waiting around for hours, stuck dealing with some guest list mix ups over the phone. Watching Bjorn freak out is enough to make any viewer feel anxious.
#6: Stephanie’s Court “Stephanie”
Top 10 Times Stephanie was the Best Character on Full House
When the episode opens with the birthday girl explaining that $42,000 was spent on flowers alone, you know that her expectations are as high as can be. Right away, Stephanie comes across as demanding, making it clear that it’s her way or the high life - even threatening her friends. As the party approaches, she gets even more intense, acting as though her friends really are her subjects. By her own admission, she turns into quite the “dictator”, even yelling at them when they’re not walking in quite the way she wants them to for her grand entrance.
#5: The Wrong Car “Demetrius”
Top 10 Insane Catfish Meltdowns
Son of legendary record producer Timbaland, Demetrius is a little more laid back than other stars of the show. But all that goes out of the window when it comes to his car. Isn’t it always the car? His dad gifts him a 4x4, but only after leading him through a Lamborghini lot, and Demetrius makes it clear that he hates it. Despite his dad telling him he shouldn’t have something flashy for his first car, and that he should be grateful to get a car at all, he’s not having any of it. Typically enough, in the end he does get the Lambo he was craving – so much for tough love.
#4: A Whole Lot of Hate for Freshmen “Natalie”
Top 10 Glee Moments That We Hate Watch
She’s the new kid in town and committed to making a big impression. So Natalie aims to achieve popularity by throwing a blow-out party for 1,000 people in one of California’s hottest nightclubs, which her dad just so happens to own. She’s only got one rule about who can be invited: no freshmen. Unfortunately, the worst comes to pass, and her party ends up completely flooded with uninvited freshmen that Natalie has never met. The event quickly descends into chaos, and Natalie spends much of the night ordering the security guards to kick out the gate crashers.
#3: Abandonment Issues “Yashika”
Despite being surrounded by her entourage of “VIPs” for the majority of the episode, Yashika finds herself completely alone at the most important moment - well, one of many. When she and her friends are supposed to be dancing together in the VIP area, they’re nowhere to be found. Yashika eventually finds them partying with some other people on the actual dance floor – which looks a lot more fun – and chews them out for leaving her side, which is apparently against the rules. Her mom eventually has to step in and tell her off for being such a diva, but of course, it just bounces right off.
#2: You’re Not Invited “Sophie”
Top 20 Craziest Reality TV Show Meltdowns
Sophie’s invitation ceremony is particularly elaborate, involving her handing out gaudy red fans to her prospective guests. The entitled teen is already on edge about people trying to sneak off with invites, when she sees that her former friend Maggie is holding one in her hands. Sophie completely loses it, taking the fan back and screaming at Maggie - who’s more than a little shocked at her reaction. Sophie has since blamed a lot of her behaviour on producer manipulation. But the shouting match will go down in history as one of the show’s most memorable outbursts. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few Honorable Mentions: The Centrepieces “Alexa” Sibling Rivalry “Priya and Divya” The Missing Skateboard “Teyana” The Helicopter “Dy’mond”
#1: The Lexus “Audrey”
Top 20 Craziest Events Caught On Live TV of the Century (So Far)
Easily the most infamous real life diva to ever grace the small screen, Audrey is the one everybody thinks of when the show is brought up, and for good reason. She had a legendary meltdown when her mom gave her a brand-new Lexus on her actual birthday, a few days before her party - because there weren’t enough people there to see her receive it. Despite the fact that her mom was obviously trying to give her a nice surprise, Audrey is basically as ungrateful as humanly possible. She starts crying and screaming about how her birthday is completely ruined because of this, to the horror of her friends, her family, and everybody watching.
