we're doing something different

ABC Family: The Secret Life of the American Teenager poll results: who's amy's son?

poll results: who's amy's son?

poll results: who's amy's son?

Are your memories that short, or are you just goofing?

We asked you to ID Amy's son, and most of you (84%) got it right: John. As in Baby John. But we had to wonder about the rest. Did 8% of you (3,423 people!) really think Ricky was Amy's son ... or are you just so used to clicking on "Ricky" that you skipped the question?

And what about the 5% of you (2,221 voters) who thought Jack was her son? True, Jack is a pretty popular nickname for John, but hey -- we already have a character named Jack! (He's dating Grace, remember? Tall guy, kinda athletic?)

OK, and about 1,000 people said Ben was Amy's son. (Yes, Ben! He's practically her husband ... or he would be, if they weren't so young.) That's about 2.3% of the total, which was just over a whopping 43,000 votes cast.

Well, we'll never know if you were confused or just playing, but there you have it. Check out the new poll -- it's a good one.

So how do you explain the 16% of people who didn't vote for "John"?

i gotta say here i wish i could post this everywhere but anybody who wants amy+ben are in the right thinking. Ben has already shown he wants to be there and amy is just irritable after having the baby and not getting much sleep so of course.... appreciation to ricky is owed from amy but ben is still the number one man in that relationship as far as i see it.... sure dna wise its rickys baby but i think ben would make a better father.... just because of the way he is already caring for amy. Maybe im wrong there and ricky is winning this situation but i really hope not cause i like how ben shows all that respect and love for amy... even though he is clingy... realize guys that when a guy wants to be with a girl enough to stop being his normal sex loving self... well he really means it and if u remember right ricky is still sleeping with adrian anyways... yet i cant say much in bens defence either considering "we need to talk" and "i wanna have sex" i agree with amy's choice on i just had a baby Smiling

If life was easy... If choices weren't hard... what would be its point? Stay on your guard and make life yours. You only get 1 chance

TheSecretLifeoftheAmericanTeenagerLover2014's picture

Okay in my opinion I think that Amy should be with Ricky, because he is the father. And I really think he has strong feelings for Amy. And besides that sneak peek shows that Amy is getting tired of Ben, I mean she doesn't even want him to babysit. And you can tell Amy has feelings for Ricky on how she looks into his eyes. And I also think its funny when Ben holds John he cries, and when Ricky held him, he stopped. I never liked Ben he is way to clingy. And Ricky never is around Amy as much as Ben, but he will be around more, for John. Ricky+Amy+John=BEST FAMILY!!

Shailene Woodley(Amy) is an amazing actress! <3
Ricky:"Hi John, Daddy's here, I love you."
Amy:"If someone likes you, you cant help but like them back."
Amy+Ricky=<3

I DO THINK AMY AND RICKY SHOULD GET TOGEHER.THEY MAKE A GREAT COUPLE.AND BEN GETS JEALOUS WHEN RICKY SEES THE BABY.SO YES I DO THINK AMY SHOULD GET WITH RICKY......AND BABY JOHN IS ADORABLE....I THINK BEN AND AMY SHOULD SLIPS UP AND SHE SHE GO WITH RICKY.THAT WHAT I THIKN

xosaraxo1997's picture

I think Amy is to good for Ricky. Ricky is perfect for Adrian because their both very tacky about having sex when their 15!!! People should wait until their at least out of high school. Ben seems like he would stay with Amy through thick and thin. Ricky seems like he's there just for sex.

I love s.l.o.t.a.t. Its the best show ever! Little John is adorable...I do think that Ricky and Amy should be together but not until Ricky sorts out his feelings for Adrian. I think he likes Amy and Adrian but he knows that he belongs with Amy. As for Ben, he gets on my nerves. Hes tooo needy and Amy can see that. I mean who falls in love with someone after one day and it wasnt even a full day! He erks me when he says I love you cuz if you loved her you wouldnt pressure her to have sex with you! She has a son for crying out loud and what it hasnt even been two months and your already up her butt! So yeahhh Ricky and Amy <3 plus little John =]

I love secret life of the american teenager. Ive followed it from the beginning and I absouletly love the writing and the show! =]

seclifeislove's picture

Personally i think amy and ricky should be together and not just because he wanted to have sex and Amy said i just had a baby. Ben should understand that. It seems like Amy is getting sick of Ben. Amy was prolly vulnerable at the time when Ben asked her out so maybe she never really loved Ben maybe it was just vulnerablity or hormones making those feeling. And at the season premiere Amy was smiling at Ricky and it seemed like she liked Ricky better then Ben. It seems like ricky is changing for the better.Step-by-step. And the best thing for John (the baby-for those that dont know lol) is having his mother and father be happy and it seems like Amy is happy with Ricky and Ricky is happy with Amy. Big smile

NO BEN IS JUST OVER PROTECTIVE.AND AMY SHOUD GO OUT WITH RICKY

tryingtimes117's picture

I agree with you , roballroxer, he is trying to help, but he's not helping @ all! In fact don't you think he might be making things more complicated for Amy? I could see that he's really annoying her telling her he wants to have sex with her and staring at her breasts (just me or are ppl way 2 obssesed with breasts in this episode?lol) I don't think Ben loves Amy anymore he just wants her. I think he mite be having this little competion in his mind with Ricky ovr Amy too. lol Sticking out tongue

I like Ben. He's sweet and caring Smiling and its very obvioius that he's crazy about Amy. But I don' think Amy feels the same way any more. Therfore AMY+BEN=UNHAPPINESS! I really don't think Ricky and Amy should be together either just because he's the father of the baby altho I think he does make a great dad to John. Ricky doesn't love Amy he only loves John, which I think is great.

All of you saying that Ben and Amy are in love, you guys are delusional or blind. Amy's far from being in love with Ben. It's just that he's her first boyfriend and was there for her at a very difficult and vulnerable time in her life. I was going to say that she loves and appreciates everything he's done for her, but she doesn't really seem to be appreciating him right now. He seems to be annoying her. It's like having another child. Amy isn't right for Ben. She's the main character and you guys love Ben so you want to see them together. She's not right for him though. He'd be better off with Madison or the other girl. He has such a great father which is why he had to do what he thought was the right thing by Amy. Amy's a mother now, so she has to grow up and mature on super speed. Ben is not on that page. Ben got with Amy because he thought she was the best possibility of him getting laid. He got a lot of other stuff but didn't get laid. He still wants to get laid and now more than ever.

fguerra's picture

THIS IS FOR YALI your talking about laid lets talk about ricky ricky thinks all about of course john and getting laid anything that walks amy loves ben why she got married with him and it was hers idea not bens also she afford ben sex in last season i think those r signs of love ben is in love cause what guy will be in love with a girl that has another guys baby and still be with her thats some serious sh** ok (me vale verga BEN & AMY ) anyone that agrees with me say I

yali's picture

I agree with jmj417. Amy and Ricky don't have to or should be together for the baby's sake. They should be together because I think that they'll make a great couple. They would bring the best and worst out of each other. When that happens, that's the one you should be with.

Thekianna323's picture

you are sooo right yali!! and i was so excited when i watched the promo after the last episode! ben and amy are finally going to end! i think that he is way to clingy. and ricky's right, ben isn't amy's type. HE IS! Heart eyes <33 Heart eyes Heart eyes Heart eyes

ugh,
i've been readin through these comments and i really wish people would quit saying amy and ricky need to be together "FOR THE BABY" or because "THEY HAVE A BABY TOGETHER".
no lie guys, i'm an amy & ricky fan too! i hate ben! BUT not all parents should be together in order to have the best life for their baby. sometimes parents are better to be just friends.
so please quit saying that, thanks!! lol

lovinyew321's picture

ben and amy are not in love
and for one thing if anyone of them are in love it would ben inlove with amy,obviously not amy inlove with him.plus i agree ben is inlove with the idea of being inlove,but hasnt really felt being inlove and isnt showing any signs of it.hes trying to hard to fall inlove which just isnt right because maybe he is not with the right person,which is why there breaking up.

&&i think ricky and amy should really try out being a couple!!! it would be a great storylin for the show

secretlifeaddicted4444's picture

They are NOT in love!!!!!! Ben is in love with the idea of being in love like Alice said, listen to her shes pretty smart. Amy wants to love Ben because she's confused about her feelings for Ricky. I do believe that they both love each other but are not in love and they are completely different things.

Time flies when you're hanging with your BSLF!!!!!!
Luv ya <3
