Even MORE Body Language!!!!!

Okay, yeah, I'm putting nearly everything they say on here, so I could just give you the link, but what better way to occupy myself than with copying and pasting...?? Hm, where did I leave off...????


"That's because he doesn't look so boyish. Also, forgot to say that everyone mentions the hair scrunch, but, it was actually more than that. She actually scrunched his hair & pulled his head into her face. Yowzah!!"


"Benji seems to go the extra mile with Donny. The last results show before the top 10 proved that. His affection and support is what we saw during all that holding. It was the sweetest thing. If he were not as touchy-feely, I think she would have been on the verge of breaking-down that night (she was devasted and having a REALLY bad day as we all know!). He seems to give her all of him when she needs it: all his goofiness, sympathy, strength, support...and he doesn't care who's watching. This - I think- is relatively new to Donny."


"Buddy- Benji's dad. After the Lindy Hop, Buddy was standing, clapping, yelling and blowing kisses to -- I assume-- Donny. What's up with that?

Heidi -- When Benjelle discover they are safe before the top 10, Heidi is clapping like crazy and yelliing, YEA, DONNY" What's up with that."


"I also want to know who Benji is winking at during the last results show...I'm starting to think it was Donny."


"This is also the first time she truly let people see the nature of their relationship. If people were speculating before, imo this should've sealed the deal, as it is SHE who is turned into him for affection, comfort & support. If no one can read that body language, then they need a seeing eye dog. In addition from what the spoilers said, benji all the while (which, we the tv audience had no clue of) stroking her, whispering in her ear, wiping her cheeks & kissing her."


"Okay, as for Heidi? I love Cousin Heidi, I want her and Donyelle to be "BFF" like Natalie and Allison and be the last two girls standing cause she seems to really adore Donyelle.

And Buddy? That still of Donyelle kissing Benji's cheeck in the restaurant says it all. He's smiling in the corner of the picture all happily! IT's hilarious-it looks like some bodiless head floating around spreading cheer to all...I think they've treated her like family honsetly."


"Out of all the pics that show that are into each other is the broadway one when she is leaning into him and they have a very intimate moment together.. they go back to the dance silly thing, but for that moment they were in their own element..

that tells all of it.. they are sweating, funky, tired, and all leaning against each other.. the most relaxed I've ever seen them.. they completely forgot about the cameras for a second..

now.. I can see why people think she's not into him as much especially after the recent results show.. but Donny has NEVER showed any outrageous reactions unless she is with him.. before you can see she was very reserved.. very much so.. He calms her down and let's her be more outgoing...she didn't have that support...or security blanket.. she was out there all by herself, she didn't have him to lean on... the same as why Benji was so nervous and distraught looking.. he always had her to lean on..

remember after the waltz result show? when they walked up there he looked like he was going to freak out...but she grabbed his hand, and it calmed him down..

so yes, they feed off each other..

I also think she is trying to express more of herself (especially since she came out with that hiphop).. she wanted people to see that she was not an extension of him.. she's her own person..

NOW I also believe that she's closet geek..she can be silly too.. but she looks like she has had to keep that inside too..

During her audition and when she was being chosen, she always mentioned that she always had to deal with rejection because of her weight... it's always in the back of her mind..

so every result show is panic time, but she always keeps it inside.. that's why she explodes every time she gets put through.. it's like an affirmation..

so.. I think they do feed off each other.. and I think they both lack a little bit without each other.. they've grown a bond..

that's why I believe they will make it to the finals, because they both have a point to make.. it's more than a competition for them.."


"I agree with you. About the lindy hop, I heard that someone spotted Benji, Donny and Buddy leaving the rehearsal studio last week (before the performance). Now this got me thinking: Donny has never danced the Lindy before, Buddy is "the king of Swing" perhaps he practiced with her...This would help explain the cheering and kisses from him to her during the performance. So sweet! It warms my heart to know his dad is so supportive!"


"Yep! You're right. She is literally turned around in her seat...and not just for a moment, but the entire time they are on stage. she is hugging him and leaning her head on his chest. his arms are around her, stroking her shoulders and back...beautiful. Once he even claps for some couple going to the bottom three while he's holding Donny. She seems to squeeze him tighter so that he can clap better...even though it would make more sense to let him go!!!"


"I think the picture of them sitting right after they announced they were splitting people up is intersting. Everyone around them have smiles plasterd to their faces (real or not) but the look dispondent, sad."


"I've said before that I think Benji's family may be the family she wishes she had right now. Not saying that anything is wrong with her family, but she doesn't seem to have noticeable supporters. She is a mystery that way. BTW the person who posted the "I saw Buddy and Benjelle" story said Benjelle were holding hands as they were walking down the street."


"just out of curiosity, did anyone notice when benjie was talking about the vietnamese fighting waltz with the submissions and choke holds........he says

"basically it has to do with submission holds and choking your ...(2 second pause almost as if he's trying to find the right words) male dance partner"

then soon after that she says that thing about "whenever your man's getting to crazy you just give him a little vietnamese fighting waltz" to me the body language while she was saying that (as mentioned before) was insane...

that pause he makes drives me crazy.....almost like he's screening his words. did anyone else notice that???"


"Yeah. I hear Buddy mills around there quite a lot. I also notice during the last couples results show, when Nigel is explaining the new format, that Heidi looks at Donny (who is crying a little and putting her head down) then up at Benji...she realizes the affection, but I agree that she probably didn't know the depth."


"Also, at the end of the clip, when she puts him back in the vietnamese choke hold & tells him " you better be a man & treat me right" He responds as he reaches back & strokes her upper arm/shoulder, " I will donny, I will...donny I love you". The look of contement that comes over her face & then her body relaxes into his... That is a squee moment if I ever saw one."


"yeah.. there's alot of open ended questions..
and I doubt if you're going to see much interaction as long as they have people separated.. it looks staged that they have to be seated separately..

but as they get down to the final four they will interact more,especially with the pre show dancing..

I really don't even worry when they dance with other people anymore

You can tell how they react to other people when they are being judged.. at no time did you see Benji put his arms and hands anywhere on Nat's body that would be interpreted as anything be partners.

Also with Dimitri.. she was purely professional with him.. with a little flirtation because he WAS perceived as the sexiness man in the competition.. If she didn't do anything it would have seen as if she was phony and had no personality..

and that scene when she said I love you Benji. but I also love Dimitry? that was all for Benji.. it was a extension of the waltz when he said if you need to think of a man, think of Dimitry..

what really sealed it was that sneaky look Dimitry did... they were mugging for him... I thought it was cute.."
