Part 1: This week is a crazy week as i am trying to complete two weeks of homework before my wedding June 30th which has already passed when you are commenting on this blog post.
This week i watched the TV show America's Next Top Model, i don't ever watch this show because i just don't find it interesting, but i must say watching tv with the sound off is very interesting.
What do you think the characters’ relationships are based on the ways in which they are communicating
As i watched this show i think the characters relationships seem to be very friendly as the ladies are smiling for the camera and nodding there heads to the camera man. I the girls are happy and overjoyed with excitement because as the title says America's next top model they are competing with one another.
What are they feeling and expressing based on the nonverbal behavior you are observing
Some of the girls seem to be feeling sad and one girl covered her face and then undercover d her face and tears were coming down her face. Some girls seemed angry as you see their hands up in the hair and their heads moving around in a circle. While others girls seemed very happy as they were jumping up and down and smiling.
What
assumptions did you make about the characters and plot based on the
ways in which you interpreted the communication you observed?
The assumptions that i made about the characters and the plot is that the girls seemed happy as we know often times people hide their frustrations behind a smile as i watched the show with the sound on the girls were hiding their frustration of not getting the right smile or photo shoot and the girls couldn't show there frustration to the camera man because of the thought of being sent home.
Would your assumptions have been more correct if you had been watching a show you know well?
Yes my assumptions would have been correct because the shows i watch; i watch them all the time,several times a week on DVR or on Demand. And often times i watch re-runs of the same show which allows me to see things i didn't notice before.

Latoya,
I hope you had a wonderful wedding day, and by now are enjoying your honeymoon! I also watched a reality show and found it interesting to watch with the sound off. Great post!
Latoya,
I hope that your wedding was everything you dreamed it would be. I found your post very interesting. I don't watch much reality TV and chose not to for this assignment because I thought the nonverbal communication skills would be more challenging to interpret. I also though it would be very challenging to determine relationships between characters.
Latoya,
Congratulations...I hope your wedding was amazing and beautiful. I enjoy reality TV myself, but Im not sure how I would interpret the nonverbal communication. With the different situations that arise, I know how I would act but couldn't imagine what goes on with those "characters". Great Post
