It could be. Again, it's all scripted. But, if you watch this clip the girls eyes are the same for both Brandon and David.
So what did they do different? Like I said David had a poor opening giving up way to much value at the start and then continued to bomb all the interactions such as over complimenting, escalating to fast, failing the eye test, and speaking way to fast and showing a level of social uncomfort or anxiety.
What did Brandon do? He came over and was actually given immediate value from David(which was actually david's only good move but ironically it really only benefited Brandon) and matched the girls level of energy being very relaxed and calm. He then aced the eye test(whether luck or attention) while still being very chill and relaxed.
It was at this point that the blone was reaching out to him giving him David's shot as a sign of approval. He then asked a very easy, normal and leveled question (what do you guys do for fun?) to which the blonde gives him a shit test (Karate!). And before Brandon has a chance to pass or fail, David interrupts with another very high energy chop move and then asks the girl to dance which was probably the final nail in his coffin as she nor her friends liked him or where even comfortable with him yet.
At this point regardless of looks Brandon looks like the much higher value guy. He's coming across as much more socially calibrated(having aced all the tests and correctly matching the groups energy level) and independent of outcome. While David looks like a awkward fool dancing around and having fumbled all the interactions. Also, David is then asked to dance with one of the wing girls. Which I'm sure the blone girl saw and added even more value to him. He then politely declines and gives himself even more value as he shows he doesn't need attention from the girls and has high standards.
