Unless you've been reading all those rumors about Jake's final pick this season, it's hard to tell who Jake will choose between Tenley and Vienna on The Bachelor.  These girls are complete opposites (Tenley's the sweet morals-heralding girl you bring home to mom, while Vienna is the controversial vixen), which just means that Jake doesn't really have a type nor a clue as to who he wants as his future wife. Still, there are other ways to tell how Jake really feels about his final two, and one approach is to analyze his body language.

First of all, I'm no expert in body language. But I believe that actions speak louder than words and judging from what I've seen on the Sta. Lucia dates, it's not that difficult to tell who Jake is more into. It also helps that Jake isn't that a good actor to begin with. If you want more details on this week's episode check out our Bachelor Episode 7 Recap: Gettin' Loose in St. Lucia.

Tenley

I've always been skeptical about Jake's attraction towards Tenley and this week's episode of The Bachelor fortified my suspicions even more. On an emotional level, they seem to jive perfectly. But whenever Tenley talks about her marriage and her ex (we might as well have a drinking game about it), Jake just smiles with his mouth closed--- which seems a bit insincere and uncomfortable, as compared to when he smiles with his mouth open.

Another thing I've noticed about Jake is how he kisses Tenley--- which seems awkward most of the time, and that he also keeps his distance whenever he puts his arm around her. Tenley appears to be the lesser evil here, but Jake's body language unfortunately signals that he's just not that into her. It also says he doesn't want safe and boring at this point.

Vienna

As much as I don't want to admit it, Jake's chemistry with Vienna is more natural, or "organic" as Jake used to describe his relationship with Gia. He was more relaxed, not to mention playful, during their date on the pirate ship and they had A LOT of passionate makeout scenes a la From Here to Eternity.

If that's not enough, Jake didn't hesitate for a second when Vienna asked him if he could see her as his wife. And then during the Rose Ceremony, he pretended to struggle before he gave his second rose to Vienna.

Again, I'm no expert on body language so I could be completely wrong about this. Who do you think had more chemistry with Jake in this week's St. Lucia episode? Or better yet, let us know who you're rooting for in our Bachelor Vienna Vs. Tenley Sound-Off.
