I agree with this guy's observations about Desiree's body language, etc.

I love what he found and sees. I like to read people, too, and observe. That's why I'm always kind of blown away when others don't see what I'm seeing in people and their relationships. But I totally saw all those things. I'm not sure what a double kiss is. I assume he means when they kiss once and then kiss again. Those two short kisses at the end of their first makeout. Is that the double kiss?

I would love to get into observing people more like that. How interesting. And this is the ultimate show to practice that on.

If people can't see their connection I don't know how to help them.

Great find as always, atem! Posting the blurb on Brooks:

Brooks
The second guy that I am picking for my top 5 is Brooks! My first was Drew. I think both of them will easily make it to the hometown episodes, though I don’t have the other picks just yet. Let’s talk about Brooks…
There were long looks of passion and genuine smiles. Both were sincerely laughing and having so much fun. What really popped out to me was the double kiss. That’s something people who have been in relationships for a long time tend to do, not something you see on a first date. This was a very telling sign to me, as it should be to anyone reading this column.
If Brooks is just himself and the genuine, caring man he has portrayed to be so far, he will be Desiree’s husband. I know this is a wild prediction as it is so early in the season but they held each other like they were soulmates and looked into each others eyes like they never wanted to look anywhere else. They danced the same way and the vibe was totally different with them than anyone else so far. Yes, I know, “so far,” but I have been studying flirtation for about a decade now and I know when something is real, and this was 100% real and passionate and, most importantly, telling. They showed their hands and I am sure Brooks will be in the top 5 if not her husband by the end of the show.

Here is a side nonverbal fun fact on tonight’s episode. When Desiree was “lost” driving, I knew she wasn’t really scared or lost. The nonverbal micro expression of being scared includes:
- eyebrows raise
- eyes widened
- lips stretch back towards the ears[/list]

Desiree did a micro expression of fear in episode one when interacting with the guy who kept wanting to take her to the room alone. So, When I didn’t see any of these signals of her being scared, I knew she knew exactly what she was doing and where she was going.

Thanks! Awww to the bolded. That's what I thought watching them too. And they literally just met.

[bilolo]

is the date available on youtube ?

I don't know. Seems codebear tried to download it to daily motion and got rejected and youtube doesn't let a person upload them without getting into trouble, so I ended up downloading the whole episode from codebear's link.

[terabithia]

Fun! Great line up.

I can totally can see Ioan Gruffudd in Brooks. I love him and always wonder why he hasn't become more popular.

Ah yes, I see that too! He reminded me of someone I couldn't quite figure out and you solved it for me. I had a crush on Ioan after borrowing all the Horatio Hornblower DVDs from the library several years ago.

This is what a lot of us saw also. Maybe we should send this to Trista who says she did not see any chemistry.

Why do we need to give a hoot what Trista says??? It doesn't matter what she thinks she sees, or in this case doesn't see. These two have palpable chemistry and an already strong emotional connection. I don't need her take on things to confirm what's there.

I guess you right but I just cannot understand how she did not see this. I really do not car what she thinks either.

Yeah, I don't understand people who said they didn't see much chemistry between Ashley and J.P. either. These things just leave me genuinely perplexed.

[nannymargie]

Did anyone notice when Des went to pick up Brooks and was hugging the guys she was always looking in what looked like his direction.

[riddlexo3]

I watched the show with my mother and aunt and we all agree that des and brooks are perfect for each other. They just seem to fit and have organic chemistry. It didn't feel forced it felt natural and they also had good conversation. I'm just excited to watch their love story play out.
