Body Language & Non Verbal Communication - *Spoilers*

[sueb1961]

I agree Bloomers especially in this crazy process. There is no grantee if they had 50-100 to choose from that they would find someone they truly connected with.

I kinda feel like the reason he took Bettina to the FD's instead of Sheena was because the producers told him to. If you watch the RC where Sheena is cut it looks like Brad almost had to force Bettina's name when he was calling it out, plus he didn't look very happy when he was hugging her. That could have been because he was upset at having to let Sheena go, but maybe a little bit because he was not all that happy to keep Bettina either.

I have a question for someone who reads lips. This may have already been adressed, but on Brad and DeAnna's FD after DeAnna tells him she is falling in love with him, he pulls her close and than kisses her. During that kiss he says something to her and then she smiles. I think he says " I do to" by the way his mouth and cheeks move. I have tried to figure out what he said and that is all I came up with. Anybody's help would be appreciated.

Check out his body language with Sheena on the HTD though. Super awkward in that hot tub. To me it looked like he really liked Sheena as a person but he wasn't really all that attracted to her even though she is a really pretty girl. I think he had a greater physical attaction to Bettina and that is probably why he chose her and I think he was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt despite her family but she didn't really give him responses to move past that at their FD.

It probably would have been very uncomfortable for him to invite Sheena to Cabo where she expects a whole romantic scene, where she may confess her much deeper feelings, she's expecting the Fantasy Suite card and to spend the night with him all the while he knows that he really doesn't like her like that. I don't think he is jerky enough to do all that and really physically lead her on when he's just not feeling it. At least with Bettina he knows that he is physically attracted to her and maybe they can move past the HTD, even though it was obvious by the dinner that he was not into it anymore.

I could be totally wrong. I admit this right out, but I really think that because of the family's reception of him, Brad knew that he would not take Bettina to F1. Regardless of that, I think he was physically attracted to Bettina. He had to take the 3rd person to Cabo. He took Bettina instead of Sheena, but I don't think it is because he was in any way still contemplating whether to take Bettina further in the process. I think her family's judgmental treatment of him axed any further chance of her advancing.
He was in a difficult position, and maybe he did think that taking Bettina was kinder than taking Sheena, and I do believe he was still attracted to Bettina even though he knew she could not be his F1 after that HTD with her family.

I am aware that everyone sees what they want to see, that is what makes life so colorful - Our differences

But occasionally there is proof....

Good Job Kraziladi !!

Brads arm doesn't move either so his "pulling" Deanna in is not true jus what some want to see.

It's actually his LEFT arm moving, so you couldn't tell in that picture. It looks like he pulls with his lower left arm, therefore his upper arm doesn't even appear to move. You have to watch it in motion to see.

Yup. Watch it again; pay close attention to his and her hands under the table and his arm. He pulls her in, unequivocally.

Well, I'm off to watch the past few shows with the sound off. It's the only way I can really tell what's going on. It's hard for me to get past look in his eyes on Deanna's date, though, which was telling sound on or sound off.

I posted a SC of the moment Brad pulls DeAnna's hand under the table and PULLS HER IN to him. It's in the SC thread.
