Armchair Critic March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 (edited) I did not need to see that much of Jennifer's exposed flesh. Sugar Bear looks like a shrunken apple doll next to her. I just can't get over the size of Alana's head, my daughter is about her age and that is not normal. Does anyone believe June is actually pregnant? Don't hold your breath waiting for Hollywood to call Alana. Edited March 23, 2019 by Armchair Critic 8 Link to comment

SunnyBeBe March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 (edited) There is so much dysfunction in their family that it's difficult to say which part is not harmful. When priding yourself in ignorance where do you go? They seem to be ignorant about nutrition, health, manners, science, drugs, finances, etc. I'm just not sure how Alana could be protected, without a legal Guardian who is not in her family. Perhaps, the county or a foster parent. I don't trust anyone who makes their money on tv to look out for Alana. And, her environment is just too risky, imo. I wouldn't trust her bio dad either. He's never really shown an real competence as a parent or even a citizen, imo. While their presence on tv may be troubling, I'm wondering if at least that allows us a glimpse in to their world. If not for that, perhaps the situation would be kept under wraps. Still, I have no desire to watch anymore. It hurts my heart. Edited March 23, 2019 by SunnyBeBe 6 Link to comment

But she and her family do not understand that. I think it's funny that the same mind set 'celebrating' a female's right to feel validated at any weight (waves at Whitney Thore) are often the same ones who want to ban large sodas, tax sugar, etc. (just my opinion) I thought June's agent Gena was scary, but she looks like a damn fairy princess next to (?)Frankie, the red-haired skeletor with the jacked-up face who tottered out to welcome Alana to the casting audition. However, Alana did a good job- I was sort of impressed that she was able to offer 2 different readings of the 'closets full of potions' lines. Jennifer actually looked beautiful in the talking head bit- great job, makeup artists. Below the neck, however: good luck with that, Dr. Curves. (The doctor had strangely red eyes, right?) Lol at Pumpkin's husband falling for the 'modelling' scam. I like him, though, and he and the baby seem to be having a great time together. I was expecting all through the 'big reveal' that June would say she had some health problem, rather than being pregnant. As far as I know, she hasn't had any drug convictions, and I don't really think she'd be smoking crack with Geno if she were actually pregnant. Also, I guess it's better than every other word being an f-bomb, but can he stop with the 'dude'. June is a lot of things, but a dude she ain't. 3 6 Link to comment
newyawk March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 (edited) Seeing Pumpkin drop all that butter into the bowl when she was cooking made me a little ill. If you can read a recipe, you should be able to cook. Perhaps that's the problem. BTW, I thought Pumpkin and her husband had moved out in the last season? What happened? Did they just not find an acceptable apartment? I forgot what happened. LOL at Alana accusing Geno and June of jumping on the bed ever since they got to L.A. Not exactly what was making those springs squeak, but okay. Ella is a very cute baby. But I'm kind of surprised Josh is so naive that he's never heard that legitimate modeling agencies do not ask you for down payments if they really want your kids. For some reason I thought he'd be more on the ball than that. I can't believe June would even think to tell Geno she was pregnant before she even got a doctor's confirmation. Dumbass. She'thinks if she takes her wishful thinking and pushes hard enough, it'll become reality. Sugarbear, another dumbass. I can't believe Jennifer let him tape up her arms like that, no matter how many producers were telling him to do it. And ain't nobody needs to see Jennifer in a bra and panties. Puke City. I don;t care what the doctor said, Jennifer couldn't be "smokin' hot" if someone threw her on a BBQ , doused her with lighter fluid and hot sauce and lit her up.

But from the the little I saw from the ad they ran, they are portraying Geno as the big bad wolf and June is innocent Little Red Riding Hood. I'm not buying that, June may act ignorant but she is not dumb, she acts on her own accord. 6 Link to comment
silverspoons March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 Maybe Geno is willing to take the fall? It seems like most of them are willing to act fake stories for the show. Did Josh really meet a baby talent person at the chipped furniture barn (or whatever he called it)? Geno is a handyman, nothing against handyman but there are some that just do some side jobs for money, and some that have successful businesses with multiple employees. Since Geno has a record is he really licensed and bonded and has full workers comp and runs a real handyman business? or does he put out ads and do odd jobs? I think the show and other media money is supporting Geno so he might just take the blame , do a little time and try and help June keep her money rolling in? The saw the ad that said WEtv was monitoring stuff and pumpkin saying thanks for the support and to stay tuned to see the story unfold. What other announcements did I miss? Is there confirmation that Pumpkin moved out of the home? I saw on facebook live she was calling a different place home now? 4 Link to comment

slasherboy March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 I don't believe for one minute that the Josh/modeling agency guy story was true. I think it was totally a set up because Josh and Pumpkin are doing well and they needed a story line to cause an argument. Why can't they give them a story line to show some happiness instead of always fighting? If it was true, I believe a producer would have stepped in when the cameras were off. When June, Geno, and Alana were in the restaurant, did June honestly put a brownie on top of her pizza and eat it? And why do Geno and Alana act so surprised when all that food comes for June? Didn't they hear her order it? We know June's not pregnant or it would have already been announced in promos. I believe something is wrong with her (besides the obvious) to make her sick, but she's not expecting ..... thank goodness. While I thought Alana did a fair enough job at the audition, there's no way she's getting a part in a movie. Again, if she'd been cast, we would have already heard abut it. Sugar Bear and Jennifer. I have no words. Seeing her almost naked body made me sick, but I couldn't look away. And Sugar Bear makes me even sicker when he fawns over her because it's so gross. A couple of times an image of them having sex has pushed it's way into my mind's eye and I run down the busy highway screaming, hoping to be hit by a semi (not really ... I love my lie) but so far, no luck. I'm guessing the show or network or somebody paid for both June's and Jennifer's surgeries. Does anybody else think this? I don't like Josh's curly hair. I enjoyed the segment of Pumpkin cooking (all that butter!) and her and Josh eating. I truly like them and like them together ... I just wish the show wouldn't perpetuate their arguments. And lastly, even though he's an ex-convict/felon, Geno is good with Alana and I like them together. Too bad she's probably going to lose her father figure. Just say no to drugs. 7 Link to comment

I forgot Sugarbear eyeing a overweight women at some speciality food store.

Jennifer finding Gina's number in Sugarbear's nightstand? The contents of the drawer did not seem like a set up besides the card with her number.

newyawk March 24, 2019 Share March 24, 2019 (edited) People's website published an article on Pumpkin's statement. https://people.com/tv/mama-june-daughter-pumpkin-breaks-silence-mom-arrest/ From the article: At the start of Friday’s episode of Mama June: From Not to Hot, WE tv aired two messages addressing Mama June’s recent troubles. “We share our viewers concerns for June Shannon and her entire family. We are monitoring events as they occur and are focused, as always, on the entire family’s well-being,” read a statement from WE tv. (The text was identical to one the network previously shared on social mediathis link opens in a new tab on Tuesday.) Then Pumpkin, 19, shared her own statement, saying, “Hey guys, as you know, you’ve seen the stuff out in the media and our family is going through a rough patch.” “But this year alone we have had a lot of happiness. And when my mom and Alana were out in California and everything seemed good. Then the next couple months rolled around and things took a turn,” she added. “We’re sharing our story in hopes that it helps another family and I sincerely want to thank our fans for always being there and loving and supporting us.” The messages do not appear in the online version of the episode available to stream on WE tv.

PrincessPurrsALot March 25, 2019 Share March 25, 2019 I would suspect that Alana did think that DWTSJ would open up other opportunities for her in Hollywood, but she's a child so I can forgive her letting her dreams become reality. We all know she does not need to be in CA if someone is interested. She is not going to start going to open auditions, so it doesn't matter where she is staying. She seemed to be enjoying being in CA, getting to do very different things, and having so much focus on her. The big issue was no one in her life seemed to be helping to set reasonable expectations. Yes, she was on DWTSJ, and she lasted awhile. She did not make it the end. Being used to winning pageants in her youth she seemed to think she would also win this regardless of whether she was any good. (That last dance number they showed was terrible). She does not have an accurate internal assessment since she is so often told that everything she does is great. So the fact that the dancer she was paired with and the others on the show worked very hard to get where they are is beyond her reasoning. June should have set the plan for what they would do whenever Alana was voted of the show, whether it was week one, the finale or any time in between, in advance of their going to CA. 9 Link to comment

When Alana was hawking that Fab Fit crap there were people posting she didn't need it, that she was beautiful the way she is. But they are not helping her, she needs to lose weight for her health and the best thing would be to encourage her to get fit. Not that she has to look like a model or god forbid a Kardashian, but just to be more healthy. She will be on My 600 Pound Life if she doesn't nip it in the bud. 8 Link to comment

druzy March 27, 2019 Share March 27, 2019 From: TMZMama June says she isn't threatened at all by her boyfriend and needs him by her side because he takes care of her ... this according to new legal docs. Mama says she is partially blind, and her BF Geno Doak helps her get through the days dealing with it. According to docs -- obtained by TMZ -- she claims he's also very loving toward her kids and they are in love and working on their relationship. She wants the court to know she does not fear for her safety or worry about what Geno could do to her, so she's asking the court to lift the order saying he has to stay away from her ... and she'd like his domestic violence charge dismissed too. We broke the story ... Mama June was arrested for having crack cocaineon her after a gas station domestic violence incident. Geno was also arrested and allegedly threatened to kill her, which is why the court ordered him to stay away. The couple ignored the order, though, by hitting up a casino together a few days later. Sources close to June's family says Geno's a bad influence on her, but she claims in the docs that's not the case. As for the gas station incident ... June says the situation "got heated and out of hand, but never was in I fear for my safety or did I want the police involved." She adds she's lived with Geno for 3 years and they're "working on our relationship to make us stronger as a couple." Geno's facing charges for domestic violence/harassment, felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. June's also facing a charge for felony possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. 3 3 Link to comment

silverspoons March 28, 2019 Share March 28, 2019 June is in a kind of a tough spot with her sight issues. I remember her saying years ago one of he reasons she liked the old house by the train tracks was she could walk to the gas station for stuff like milk and the kids could walk places. Moving to the fancier suburban track home means you need a car. She is not on a bus route and she no longer qualifies for those disability shuttle type rides. Pumpkin has confirmed she moved out. Sugarbear lives about an hour away. If it is just her an Alana, how would they get to the grocery store, doctor, school events etc. I do not think Geno is the best solution, but she needs something? I know she has a sister but her sister can't do it all (My mom is not suppose to drive and I'm the only family and it is so stressful to fit her needs in with what I need to do everyday). Maybe Mama June needs to give pumpkin old room to someone (decent) in exchange for driving her places? At some point Alana leaves and June will have to have someone live with her or move. The one thing I can say about June is she has never complained about her vision loss. Before those surgeries , many people did not even know she was legally blind. I would be freaking out if I lost my sight. My new eye doctor ad some fancy machine that said I have a tiny trace of a cataract in one eye. He laughed and said without this machine you would not know but when you are in your 70's you will have one. That is 30 years away but it already scares me. 10 Link to comment

You have to meet income requirements and my mom gets retirement social security and that is too much. It is very hard to find people trusty worthy people if you put an ad out. I would think June would have a tough time. I think she needs to consider once Alana leaves home to move to a condo or something on a bus line. It is not good to be dependent on a man (that has issues he is struggling with). I did not really realize how dependent our country is on cars until my son got dx with epilepsy at 17, and will never drive, suddenly so many colleges he applied to were not going to work and he is really limited in his options which makes me sad. The only state he had applied to that seemed to care was CT, they did have free special express bus service and a coordinator that was wonderful, but the health insurance rates were more expensive then college and the taxes were so high! 2 Link to comment

Just like the bathtub overflowing with water that caused him to bust open the door that led him to the "scratch and dent" store in the first place. Well, I think if we're going to go with theories, here's another one..scam artists researched the shooting locations for this show about "rich rednecks we could easily take advantage of," followed Josh, and approached him. And yes, I do think Josh is dumb enough to overflow a tub. 1 1 1 Link to comment
Armchair Critic March 29, 2019 Share March 29, 2019 Some of us take the show at face value and others take the show as being scripted. Difference of opinion. When this show first came out I believed that they may be crazy but they were loving good people, now I don't think so. 7 Link to comment

This whole episode was so contrived and fake it was annoying. (Won't stop me from watching, of course! I think I have a problem.) Did Alana really think they would just sit in the hotel room and wait hopefully for the talent scouts to call?! I agree vociferously (vociferously, I tell you!) with the poster above who implored Geno to quit calling everyone "dude!" Geno's calling everyone dude drives me insane!!! I should say more insane because I apparently already am for watching this disaster of a family. He got extremely nervous for someone with just a probation warrant.

newyawk March 30, 2019 Share March 30, 2019 The way that Geno saw those cops coming in at the fair, and immediately moved to GTHO of Dodge, he knew what was up, and he knew he was in violation. He knows what he did and didn't take care of with his community service. Poor Alana. 6 Link to comment
alegtostandon March 30, 2019 Share March 30, 2019 (edited) To me, this whole show is scripted. Just like that pageant was set up for the show, I believe that 'I'm going to be a movie star' casting segment was set up. The way Dino came bursting through the door when Alana screamed was so fake. It was so tacky having Alana do her TH with a scarf and big dark glasses like she was Audrey Hepburn. Of course, some talent scout approaches Pumpkins husband right after they had the discussion about not putting the baby through what Alana went through. And that chubby, out of shape husband kicking down the bathroom door with 1 kick, while wearing socks. It looked like the hinges had been removed. My brother, who is 6 ft, & in law enforcement, very physically fit, locked them out of their bedroom just yesterday, even wearing boots, it took a few kicks and the door was smashed.
