Although it was first believed the show would be better off without Abraham, producers, including Morgan J. Freeman, eventually had a change of heart and brought her back. Since then, the show has seen an increase in ratings.
"The fifth episode was billed as the return of Farrah Abraham, and although she only appeared towards the end of the show, it seems the publicity helped as Episode 5 viewership rose to 1.657 million," Starcasm reported on Wednesday.

When Teen Mom OG premiered in March, Abraham wasn't included, but by April 20, she had returned.
"Farrah’s first full episode the next week saw another sizable uptick as ratings rose to 1.822 million," Starcasm continued. "This week’s episode would seem to indicate the ratings may have plateaued with a very similar, but still very strong, 1.855 million viewers tuning in."
Earlier this year, during an interview with TV Guide, Freeman explained his decision to include Abraham in Teen Mom OG.
"Just looking at those three stories, ultimately, there was a feeling that something was missing and having a fourth perspective — the four different journeys and four different sets of consequences, all stemming from Teen Mom — that was the right way to go," he said.
