Bachelorette New Zealand - Season 1 - Dr Lesina Nakhid-Schuster - Lily McManus - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers *

Slightly different promo on Lesina’s IG.
She loves the turmoil they just caused, and Glenn is being … himself I guess.
If he says some of that to Lily, things will become interesting.

Pffftttt LOL  @blueblues I'm going to straight up predict that Lily will TEAR GLENN A NEW ONE for comments like that.  

I thought this was an interesting upload by Aaron. I wonder if we'll see this on the show or if it was just BTS pics. Look at the body language between Lesina a Kurt. I feel like Aaron's rubbing his own face in it a bit. I'm definitely getting an F2 vibe from him.

@Bobette CANNOT wait for that stingy, blunt Scorpio vibe ( Lily ! ) to put some guys back on their place. And WHY is Glen still around, he’s not a good apple IMO! I knowTPTB / drama...

Yeah Liam, Glenn, Marc, all guaranteed to go to mid-season IMO - it happens every time.  

This is also interesting.  Dom and Quinn's reactions are identical; hands covering the mouth (body language for trying to mask surprise). Marc and Tavita high fiving () would be a clear sign to Lily that they're interested IMO.  

Steve and Marcus don't know where to look while Jesse can't look away and is clearly stoked.

Must have been an odd moment for Lesina...

Are you seeing / thinking his knee is touching hers? It’s kind of an awkward position for him to have his leg like that...

@Astrobach I was, but I zoomed in and it might just be a fold in the fabric not her leg.    

She's definitely leaning in though and he's presenting his knee as if inviting contact, IMO. 

@Bobette
Yes, I agree, it’s very subtle but there is a ‘ lean in’ effect IMO

ETA. For a man, it’s very telling to see his feet position, ( which shows the direction of where he wants to be or go) it’s more subconscious than other body language signs, but as important. And he is REALLY directing  this left foot towards her as much as possible.
JMO
ETA2 And his torso is slightly pivoting towards her as well. It is NOT turned towards Jonathan and his act. It’s almost like he was interacting with Lesina, and he had to turned himself away from her to look at what everyone else is watching. On her side, it’s harder because she is COLD and it trows things off a bit.

"Liked by George".  Yeah, I bet.    He's the only one I could see Lily having IRL compatibility with - but it won't be enough, IMO.

Interesting response from Lesina here.  Pretty obvious she and F1 (*cough Kurt cough*) are happy IMO.

So.... anyone else still watching this or is it just going to be me and the crickets? Seriously though; not good, TVNZ.

Ouch! Well said everybody! Now TVNZ is getting the backlash they deserve and probably didn’t expect! I am invested now and will watch but expect some snark coming out ! @Bobette thanks for posting all these and I HOPE THEY GET IT! Very bad look for the first Bachelorette NZ and if it affects the ratings, guess who’s gonna be at the centre of the blame, if only by association? Lesina. She should have been protected by TPTB and supported as the first LEAD to have a successful season. They lucked out with her and yet managed to mess it up.
It’s very upsetting to me.

@Astrobach It could be two sock puppets and I'd still watch - I can't help myself. If anyone gets blamed (other than TPTB) it will be Lily, not Lesina IMO.  And I think she's been anticipating it - the girl's been acting weird on SM for months and this is precisely why IMO.

@Bobette yeah, you may be right about Lily. Especially if she doesn’t take it as seriously as we concluded.
Now that it’s done, I’ll be watching tomorrow and check all the reactions and body language from the men with both Bachelorette. Wonder if the S/ M comments will be as harsh.
