| Emily + Brad = together 4ever..??? I've been rooting for Emily since the first night of the show. She reminds me of my friend Kirbie (really it's uncanny). Of course, now that she won Brad's heart (and two carat engagement ring) the 'truth' comes out. Apparently the Emily we've seen all season isn't the real deal. I'm not sure I believe this, but she did seem a little angsty on the "After the Rose" special. They've already broken up once. I'm still confused. Relationships are hard - especially with all of America judging. When my BFF LJ took to Twitter with some body language analysis of the new couple it seemed like the fates are decided. It's too bad really (Trista and Ryan will always be my favorite couple from the franchise)! We now know it's splitsville for 'Bachelor' Brad Womack and Emily Maynard. Of course, we had to suffer the entire 'After the Rose' ceremony to learn that nothing is turning up roses for the reality television couple. Our body language expert Vincent Harris says he knew right from the start that these two were kaput. The subconscious doesn't lie, and Brad and Emily's bodies were pretty much screaming, "Get me the heck out of here!" "I rarely stick my neck out this far, but this would not be a marriage that lasted long, or was too blissful while it did," Harris, the author of 'The Productivity Epiphany,' tells us. Trouble was obvious right from the start of the show, when Chris Harrison asked the pair: "Do you consider yourself an engaged couple?" Emily flashed a micro-expression of fear. "It was a brief tightening and thinning of the lips, followed by 'I do' with a high pitched upward inflection at the end. This was indicative of doubt in what she is saying," Harris says. While Brad was rubbing Emily's arm, she was patting his. No one wants a pat. "Patting is what we do with people we have at an emotional distance; rubbing is a more intimate movement," Harris explains. When Emily was asked a second time about being ready to get married, she said, "Right now, in this instant? I love you" (Upward inflection = Lies), "but no" (Powerful downward inflection on the "no" = She means no!) Then we see Brad say: "The one thing I love about you among many things is your honesty." Sounds sweet right? Not so much. Brad was scratching the end of his nose when he said it, which shows dishonesty. "The nose, like the penis, has erectile tissue, and when stressed, and perhaps lying, this tissue becomes engorged with blood and causes a tickle or itch that causes us to scratch it," Harris says. That's good to know. As Emily berated Brad for having so much fun on his dates with the other ladies, Brad flashed what is known as the "death rattle" of relationships. "He showed contempt; a brief one-sided smirk that shows a feeling of superiority and that he sees her as 'lower' than him," Harris says. We had the death rattle, but what about the death blow? When Harrison asked Emily, "Do you see yourself marrying Brad?" she shook her head no, negating her eventual verbal answer of "yes." "When in doubt, go with the answer people give you unconsciously; it will be closer to the truth," Harris says. |
