Bachelorette star Greg’s fight with Katie Thurston was so ‘scripted’ it was like ‘a play’, claims body language expert
THE BACHELORETTE contestant Greg Grippo's fight with Katie Thurston was so "scripted" it was like "a play," a body language expert has told to The Sun.
This past week, fans were left astounded when Greg walked out on even after she "promised" him that it was going to be them in the end.
“I have never been this vulnerable in my life with anyone. I won’t get down on one knee twice, it’s a one-deal thing for me and I know I won’t have any regrets at the end of this.”
However, Katie, who had made it a goal to not say she was in love with anyone until the last episode, remained quiet before she said: “I told your family our connection is so strong and I believe in us. You know how I feel about you though, right?”
Greg continued: “For you to stand in that hallway and tell me that I’m the one giving up on us hurt me so badly. I’ve never given up on us. There’s obviously a disconnect here. As much as it hurts me, I’ve reached my breaking point with this. I gave you everything.
“It was never about a rose, all I was asking for is Katie. I love everything about you and really saw you as my girl,” Greg assured her. “What does the rose mean at this point? What? That I’ll move on to the Fantasy Suites next week and make love to you and then you move on?
“I just don’t think you get it. I don’t think so because I’m not a number here. Well, I’m not happy here anymore. I’m not. I’m done here,” Greg responded before storming off set - leaving Katie crying on the floor alone.
"There are no signs of what can often be a ‘too soon with the love bomb’ reaction, which is often more about embarrassment than this," she told The Sun.
"People often laugh and apologize, even if they’re feeling publicly rejected but Greg seems to want to guilt-trip Katie with ‘I’ve never poured my heart out to somebody like this before’.
THERE IS LOVE
Despite being dramatic about his feelings, Judi admitted that Greg is not lying about actually being in love with Katie.
"When we have genuinely strong feelings for someone, even love, there is one important ‘tell’ that is almost impossible to act or pretend," she revealed.
"Pupil dilation occurs naturally as an emotional response. When Greg tells Katie he loves her his pupils are dilated as he looks at her, creating ‘the look of love’.
"In the scene when he breaks it off though, the opposite has occurred. This could suggest that, acting or not, his underlying emotions are genuine."
The Bachelorette contestant is supposedly a current marketing executive from New York, but Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi thinks otherwise, after posting a long list of accusations against him.
“He is not on the show for love, let alone Katie, and his appearance on this show is solely to promote and kick-start his acting career,” they wrote.

“He is absolutely lying about his career and intentions on the show. He’s always wanted to pursue an on-camera career,” they said.
