Television Show With No Sound

          The show I chose to watch was called "Mama June From Not to Hot, " in the show they showed a before picture of her and then a after picture. Two girls came in a room where she was then a man came over. Once the man came over he started looking at a dvd player taking it apart with a puzzled look on his face and picked it up and down. The girls and Mama June started laughing and so did the man. He hugged her and she had the biggest smile on her face, she twirled around as if she was showing off her outfit to them. The younger girl rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers at then. Another lady came over and they left and went to a doctor office, Mama June with a frown on her face pulled her shirt up and started pulling on her stomach which was hanging then she felt some plastic breast implants. The doctor looked concerned and kept touching the extra skin. The doctor handed her two plastic breast shaped bags. She put them in her shirt and her breast seemed to be larger, she smiled, laughed and played with them. The lady who went with her was pointing, looking sad, angry and not too friendly while talking to Mama June. They picked the two girls up. When they got to a ice cream shop this man in line kept looking at her breast, his eyes got big and never looked away. He threw his finger up to motion for the cashier then while they sat eating ice cream the older girl wrote something on a piece of paper and gave it to him. The ladies and girls sat tolling their eyes, touching June's hair and face. The older lady who went to the doctor with her touched the plastic things in her bra. she smiled and laughed while patting her friends back. The man smiled with a big grin on his face. He waved at them as they left, the next day she met him somewhere and he kept looking at her chest which was flat because she had taken the implants plastic things off. Her eyes started rolling as she talked to the man, she stood up placed her hands on her hip; hit the table and started walking away and threw a finger sign to the man. She looked angry while walking away.
          I re-watched the show with the sound on and Mama June had gastric bypass surgery. She went to the doctor to talk about removing the extra skin she has and that's why she pulled on the skin. Her friend kept asking was she sure about that. When they all went to eat ice cream the man waved at the cashier so he could pay for everyone's ice cream, he stared at her breast constantly, his eyes got big while looking. Her daughter took her number to the man so they could go out on a date. The next day when they went out the man asked her why did she look different and it seems like she lost weight on top since yesterday. Mama June stood up and told him it's men like him that make women go out and get surgery because they don't feel good about their bodies and want to look better. She hit the table, cursed while she was walking away and threw a finger sign at him.
          We all make some type of facial expressions while we communicate. I know I make al sorts o faces, although I try really hard not to, it still happens. This family hugged, smiled and laughed a lot because they genuinely love each other. Their non-verbal communication told me most of what was going on with them. Most of my assumptions  were correct. My aha moment was when she became angry on the date and when I watched it with sound I saw why she was so angry. I mean she was angry enough to hit the table and point finger sign at the man. This was a very interesting assignment this week that I really enjoyed doing.

  1. Ms. Davis,
    It is interesting to keep our eyes open and our ears shut. The story had many non-verbals to watch. I also liked this assignment and decided I would try it again to become a master at watching the non verbal cues of others.

  2. I have not watched this show yet, but I have seen a few of the Honey Boo Boo episodes before in which Mama June was a character. They have very animated facial expressions, I think it would be hard to make assumptions on this show with the volume off. Just from what I've seen on Honey Boo Boo, their non-verbal communication doesn't always match their verbal communication. They went from being upset one second to happy the next. I probably would have had a lot of "aha" moments if I chose this show for my assignment.
