Last night on the Bachelorette, it was stunning to see a suitor clearly read his love interest with amazing clarity as she leaked her true feelings. Believe it or not, but most people when falling in love, especially in a fantasy scenario such as The Bachelorette, struggle to see the truth before their eyes. It’s so exceptionally rare, I was in awe at Greg Grippo and his ability to read bachelorette Katie Thurston’s in the minute-by-minute interactions last night.

His clarity stands out in the history of the Bachelor and Bachelorette, if you want my opinion.

Greg showed incredible emotional intelligence to manage his own feelings of desire while reading the rejection he was receiving from Kaite as it happened. And to handle it with such grace, just wow!

Most people are blinded by their desires to see the clues before them that their relationship is in trouble. Greg was like a laser. It was amazing!

Katie truly liked Greg. There are no two doubts about it, and she was blindsided by him as well. It was so hard to watch!

I suspect Katie couldn’t grasp what was going on. I think if we were to ask her what she was thinking, she would says that Greg was telling her in one interaction it was over because she didn’t say I love you to him. For her, to have him turn so quickly on a dime, unnerved her to the core. How could he do that if he truly cared about her?

She then, in turn, doubted her ability to read and understand everyone at that point. How could he do this to her? You can certainly understand that!

As I understand Greg’s response as well.

What Katie failed to see what her response was very clear. While she liked Greg–even a lot –possibly even falling in love with him, she didn’t have the response you would expect from someone who is choosing YOU to be her final suitor. She clearly had not and Greg picked up on it!

She didn’t have to utter a word. She simply had to show her pleased affection to him to reassure him, which she completely failed to do.

When the man you truly love confesses his love to you — you can’t help but glow and light up. Katie didn’t and Greg saw it. She remained guarded and emotionally detached. And she while her behaviors didn’t support that she chose Greg with certainty, her emotions were affected by what I suspect was Botox!

Which made it all the more crazy!

I think Katie has had Botox and it has frozen her eyebrows. And add to the fact that Greg is laser good at reading people, and when Katie cried, it looked fake! It really did but IT WASN’T FAKE. The Botox locked her face which complicated everything further. She without knowing it destroyed his ability to connect with her due to a wrinkle injection!

Like ouch!!

Botox can also stunt the emotions one is feeling as well. Talk about a nightmare!

It was like she poisoned herself to any true connection with Greg literally! I can’t help but wonder if she showed real sadness in her face and wasn’t frozen from Botox, would he have sensed it and softened? It’s possible.

I think for Katie, she has been torn between Greg and Blake for a while now, and was down to making her final decisions. I suspect she leaned slightly towards Blake at times and other times towards Greg. And when Greg confessed his love, I think what happened to Katie is she saw how hard rejecting him at the final rose ceremony could be and it scared her. It caused her to freeze. She didn’t want to hurt anyone.

All of this combined, she may have even second guessed everything, and found herself in an emotionally dizzying scenario, where she, too, couldn’t get on her feet.

It was a mind-blowing episode, frankly!
