One moment from last night's Bachelorette has convinced us of the winner.

Dear sweet Jesus, The Bachelorette producers better not be setting us up for another Nikki 2.0 situation.

If they are, I swear to peanut butter and all that is holy I will travel to Ten HQ and personally invoice them for the counseling sessions I WILL MOST DEFINITELY REQUIRE if my main man, Matty J, doesn’t win this thing.

Because in Wednesday night’s episode, there was one moment – one definitive, uplifting moment – that made my sister and I softly weep into each other’s arms. A moment that made us turn to each other and whisper “Holy shit, They are in love! Look at the way she looks at him! And the way he looks at her! This is love! And it is forever! And we are dead! Give this dude all of the roses!”.

I’ll give you one guess: it involved a large body of water, and a half-naked Matty J.

This waterborne kiss has convinced me that Matty J is the winner, and after you watch it I’ll tell you why:

I wanna talk about Georgia Love’s hand placement (a sentence I never envisaged myself writing, but roll with me here). I want you to look at where her hands are when Matty J tells her he loves her.

I’ll do the hard work for you: They’re basically swallowing his head whole.

Now, the moment it became obvious Alex had won Richie’s heart, and NOT Nikkie, all came down to Richie’s hand placement after Alex told him she loved him.

When kissing Nikki in the finale, his hands were soft and meek and in his lap. With Alex, they were like this:

Basically, when someone tells you they love you, what you do with your hands is V. IMPORTANT.

Here are my proposed universal rules:

• One limp, casual one hand on own lap = not in love, possibly in dire need of a Berocca
• Tense, I-want-to-eat-your-face hand on neck or face = deffo in love, potentially at risk of rheumatoid arthritis

If Georgia Love’s kiss with Matty J was anything to go by (and I’m betting on my ovaries that it is), she’s gonna pick him.

You heard it here first, folks.
