Body Language Analysis - Bachelorette 9 - Discussion

She still seemed pretty doubtful that Nostradamus struck again, shaking her head "no".

In fact, this is the ONE interview that really, REALLY, REALLY throws a monkey wrench on the spoilers. In all other interviews, you can debate if she and Brooks are in cahoots post-show since she gives not a crumb pointing one way or another, but this one... with Chris "out" before she even has a chance to speak... raises a lot of questions. She cocks her head in a "no way" manner the very moment he says he knows her top three and even doubtingly questions him how he does it. Magic, of course. She is constantly shaking her head "no" from then on, but still keeping her straight face. To me, it reads either to me in my warped little mind: a) I know you chose wrong Jimmy because I'm with nobody or b.) I know you chose wrong Jimmy because you already mentioned "him" a while back.

Went back and watched it . . . she did a pretty good job of not revealing anything for sure. *sigh*

No comments here… just images borrowed from the facebook page.

I did toss in one “awkward hug” shot of Brooks only because it was interesting, but not making any assumptions with it. We all see different things in these shots.












Brooks vs. Chris… always fun to compare and contrast “like” shots



Drew… I'll be honest. I am less optimistic here, although he could still be a "dark horse" gotcha since at least one of the early spoilers had him at F1.



Poor Zak, she is so “not into you”…

I felt exactly the same.

Hey Mistica

Can you do a write up of your BL read of the BSG scene (Des and Brooks scene) the same as you did for the Drew / Des scene ?

 Which one do you mean ? The one on the bench on the pier ? I need to see Des and the guy to do BL reading (need to watch the interaction between 2 ppl). If I remember weel, we can only see a close-up of Des in that scene...

Yes the one at the pier and the one where she is standing in front of him crying. You could do her only perhaps if both is too difficult.

Please!!!! I would love your perception as well.

I will do this tomorrow, I promise (i live in Europe and now it's late).
Thanks for your support.

Thank you for doing this! Sleep well.

As requested, I watched all the previews TPTB, and I truly can't interprete what I get from the pier bench. I don't have enough material (to much close up) to give a valid reading of Des & BSG body language at this moment.  
Instead I propose to read the Brooks' body language when he wears the blue T-shirt.
My reading is excerpt from this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6bm6yhhy4Q
So first, (1:46) we see him hidding his face in his hands : this is a typical sign of embarassement or shame.
At 1:49, we see Des crying in front of Brooks with a hand on her frowned eyebrows : she is emotional, upset and trying to think about what's happening (this scene should be before the previous but I guess this is edited). Her eyes are closed : she doesn't want to see this...
1:53 : Brooks swaging with hands on his hips : hands on hips are normaly a sign on confidence (male alpha). In this case, the swaging shows also his nervousness (to be the male alpha ? Just an assumption).
2:09 : Brooks crossing his arms on his chest : he is trying to keep distance with someone (and also from the camera because he is turning away from it).
2:11 : left hand in the mouth when speaking : he wants to say something but he is restrained. Just after he throw away this hand away : he is angry (about himself obviously).
2:15 : in the limo, looking focused away : he is in deep thoughts. His faced face is lax (eyebrow, mouth) : he is in peace with himself now. Because of his eyes (puffiness), I would say he cried (a lot) but not anymore.

I read that scene as "no" because you don't have the top three correct...but she terrified at the end of that interview that she gave anything away. If Chris was first then she was already in the clear, IMO.
