That's why I'm always fascinated to throw this stuff out there, so much to see (and hear) that one person can't catch it all... that's my exucse anyway. Thanks Joe P!

Good one!!

Very nervous. You're right, his thumbs are moving, then the nose rub... and the girl is stoic, great call Jeannie. An absolute lack of movement can be interesting too, she's gotta be nervous like he is, but maybe less confident of her chances. Keep in mind, too, that she wasn't singled out by name... Michael rubbed his nose immediately after the host said his name and focused everything on him. We don't know what she would have done if Secrest had said "Alexis..." The TIMING of a nose rub is critical thing to watch for/know... it's the key to finding their meaning in each situation. Touching the shoulders and other areas, especially head-related, can mean several things... stalling, nervousness, preening to look good... notice what else is going on, who walked in/out, what's being said, so on. Make the connection between an action and its cause and you have your answer. Thanks Jeannie, and thanks for patience, in SoCal 4 days and just back, didn't do the best at keeping up. -jef It does mean he’s uncomfortable, yes. Very nervous.

Does the nose rub mean he's uncomfortable? Does it mean he expects to be safe? Prior to his nose rubbing, he was moving his thumbs. The girl next to him was just still. What does that mean?

The worst (best?) show for this is the bachelor--they're great at deceiving the audience, such that you can actually figure out what's going to happen---it's just the opposite of what you're being led to believe. Good points, Matt, thanks! -jef hey Matt, interesting point about this show, that they sometimes lead cntestants (and more

Perhaps he is over confident in the news or had confirmed the news of him moving on beforehand. The reaction could be a response to the perpetual deception played out during the announcement of advances in the show where constantly the announcer tries to deceive the individual into thinking they didn't make it, then come back with the last words revoking all previous negative hints and proclaiming their advancement.
