Body Language & Non Verbal Communication - *Spoilers*

[nutty1]

I think it all shows that Deanna fans see Brad pulling Deanna toward him (he was) & Jenni fans see Brad leaning into Jenni (he was).

We need more screencaps!

Not bad... but I don't doubt that Brad is leaning into Jenni in that situation anyways... he just doesn't seem into her on the bed... and I think pulling a girl into you kind of equals leaning into her... Can we agree on that?

The seating arrangements also make for a lean/no-lean. On the bench, even though there is a pillow separating them, they are side by side and closer together. At dinner the chairs make distance more the thing, and I do see DeAnna more doubled over and intense, but I also see Brad reaching for her. Either way, at this point Brad went into the FD with an open mind, and I think he is reacting to words and gestures from both of them. All scenes with both girls show a growing intimacy. I don't think it is a slam dunk emotionally for Brad until the last chance dates, and maybe not even then.

What I see is Brad is already leaning towards DeAnna and they meet half way in their shot. Always good in a strong relationship I think anyway. In Jenni's shot he starts out farther away and yes he definitely does lean into her I'm not disputing that. I guess what I'm trying to say during most of Brad and DeAnna's dinner he was already leaning towards her so no he wouldn't have as far to go to get to her especially if you add pulling her towards him the rest of the way.

I agree Ariellies especially with the last sentence. I think Brad had a hard time choosing between them. I see both negative and positive with both women.

He explained why he gave her a rose - because of her
He explained why he did not give her a rose - because of her

I think Bettina's comments at the WTA show she still had no clue about who Brad was - except that he was The Bachelor

I respectfully disagree with there is no raw emotion there with Brad. Also imo, Brad never really answered Bettina's question. Her question was (paraphasing) if my family was so judgmental to you, then why did you give me a rose? His answer (after talking about how difficult it was to convince her family that he had real feeling for her) was that he did it for her. So does this mean that Brad was emotionally invested in Bettina at the HTD, but not so after the FD????

I think it is really difficult to assess it when all we are looking at is a screencap. Watching the whole thing in motion is much more telling.

I agee. I also want to add that I see that he has something with both girls. I personally just see ... more ... with DeAnna.

Nope. It just means that he had no choice but to take three women to Cabo. He couldnt get away with taking only two. Fleiss wouldnt allow for that. He was done with Bettina in D.C.
