Bachelorette 5 **Screencap DISCUSSION Thread**

[atem]

I love the analysis - amateur or not! I look for those things too (on the show and in real life).
I have to mention how tiny Jill is - she is super petite isn't she? And looking great in a white dress!
Some of the guys look a bit dorky, but there are some cuties in there too. I thought I saw Bob Guiney's twin - poor Jill!

I thought I was the only one who thought that!

That is Mark!

Really? I thought Julien looked like Bob a little!

This is why it's pure psycho-babble at this point. . . . Body language can SOMETIMES give clues, but not when the shots are selected by the PTB pro's who know we're looking for that. Any analysis based on ABC released SCs is always going to be suspect.

I'd add a blanket caution that it's dangerous to invest too much stock in "reading" the shows themselves in terms of body language, since (a) the "characters" are cast into "roles," and (b) the footage is edited with a ginsu knife.

Same for me. It's all in fun.

Will Kyle have designs on Jilly? He is a tall one!

Kyle may not get very far in that Members Only pleather jacket!

That pic has me rolling.

Exactly. This whole thing is edited to within an inch of it's life and they're working off of a loose script. What body language there is, it's been clobbered together in the editing room. We might be better off with psychic readings.

I hear that some body language readers purport to have psychic abilities as well. Unfortunately, last season the body language and psychic wires got crossed and the prediction was that Melissa was F1 of the Bachelor instead of F1 of its sequel--Dancing with the Stars. Oh wait . . . she was F1 of the Bachelor. She just wasn't the F F1--the Jason Loves Melissa Forevah and Evah F1. But now her tattoo is all sequined and she's primed for F1.

Screencaps don't lie, but putting them together into the storyline is the real challenge. This show is more and more like a WhoDunnit than a Romance novel.

If I were psychic, I would have won the $100M+ MegaMillions Lottery and my bet for the Kentucky Derby 2 weeks ago while in Vegas. If you read my two posts, I think my keywords were: "absolutely worthless armchair psychology" and "psycho-babble" when reading body language coming from ABC-produced SCs. Most of us who have degrees in psychology or psychiatry don't dabble with tarot readings, etc.

Tarot readings make for more fun party tricks, I must admit!
