MTV's most recent Catfish show aired Shirlene, a Dine woman living in Chandler, Arizona being catfished by Mya, a woman from Tuba City who liked Shirlene. In Shirlene and James, Shirlene met James on Facebook, a Zuni-Navajo man who welds for a living, has three homes, a home in Tuba City, Phoenix, and Zuni, and he is third in line to become the Zuni tribal leader. They chatted and they liked each other, but really James was Mya, using a fake facebook identity. The sparks flew until James started withdrawing. Shirlene was informed by Jame's sister that James died and she was bummed. Shirlene contacted Nev and Kamie who investigated what really happened. Nev and Kamie came all the way out to Phoenix and Tuba City investigating Shirlene's situation. They went to the Tuba City Police Department and found out that James was not in jail as Mya said. Mya eventually agreed to meet Shirlene and the Catfish team. Shirlene was angry and seem to let Mya off the hook too easily. Mya wanted to continue to be friends with Shirlene, but Shirlene moved on. Overall, this show was entertaining and so engaging that the one-hour show went by real quickly. I heard that Tuba City Chapter house was going to show a screening, but that was a hoax, just like I heard how George Strait was going to be at Shiprock was a hoax. The best part of the show was when Shirlene was asked about the biil at the Heard Museum and she stated that we Navajos use that today only at graduations.
