    I'm liking Marcus. I wasn't sure, but he seems like a nice guy. Still love Eric- but he just makes me so sad!!

    Unsure about the baseball player- seems a little into himself? But he is super cute!!

    Also liked the guy she had the date with tonight- Nick.

    Bradley seems nice but I'm just not a fan. I don't think he'll make it much longer...

    @IRunForFun: yes! Two nights this week.

    Another note: her date with J.J- so freaking hilarious. I love it.

    Is this season worth watching? I have them saved on the DVR, but I haven't been able to get into it again since Sean/Catherine.

    I can't stay away from this show even though I want to!

    Marcus is oddly creeping me out. But I love baseball players in general. And I love farmers. And quiet Nick.

    Alright, the four I think will make it to the end are:
    Marcus
    Nick
    Chris
    Brian

    I watched last night but missed tonight! These guys are so sweet. I love how into love they are. If that makes sense

    @blackbird: hmm I think Nick and Marcus for sure, I think JJ might last too, not sure about the fourth.

    Can't believe Eric went home this early, but I guess I could kind of tell they weren't clicking. I live in CT and I was like heyyy Eric come on down to see me! hahah

    @blackbird: I like them too! I just watched a scene with Marquell and man he's so cute and funny haha. Honestly I could see her happily with several of these guys.

    I don't think I'm a big fan of Andi. I feel like she totally overreacted to Eric's "acting" comments last night. I think there are times where she seems really fake and not very sincere. And her "staaaahp" comments along with her "mmmmhmmmm's" when the guys are talking are almost as bad as JP's "it's ok's" that she got mad at him for. However in her defense it would probably be hard to be "on" all the time - having so many conversations with so many guys in a night would be tough.

    I read the spoilers so I can't pick a top 4.

    @theknest: I agree! I think she totally over reacted and went nuts over nothing. I was like really?? THAT's what caused this huge drama that they've been previewing for a week. Please. She's full of crap is she doesn't think that cameras at least slightly make her a different person than if they weren't there, which is what I think he was getting at.

  12. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @theknest: @PurplePumps: definitely! You can't pretend that this show is 100% real. She was probably just really tired and stressed out and it just hit her the wrong way. I don't really like her either, so stones she seems really cool but during the one to ones I feel like she doesn't really care what they're saying.

  13. snowjewelz

    I think they weren't hitting it off anyway, things were stalling and they were both frustrated and the words he used prob just didn't rub her the right way. Like she said in the interview after, you live in this bubble and every detail becomes exaggerated.

    I finally caught up with this weeks episodes. OMG. I have a confession. I have completely become obsessed with Eric. It has really affected me and I cant searching for pictures and articles about him. So unbelievably sad. I actually missed the dedication intro on the first show so I missed who had died. DH and I watched the meeting of the bachelors and I told DH the 'explorer' was my favorite.

    Anyways, about the show. Ugh. I cant seem to really like anyone. Andi seems way too good for Nick, Marcus seems way too sensitive like he is going to be the creepy guy who shows up on her doorstep at 3 am type, Chris the farmer just seems a little strange, Josh seems like a typical jock type. The rest of the guys seem nice but just dont do it for me!

    About Erics departure, I am so glad someone had the nerve to call them on it. Obviously someone is going to act different on camera and Andi strikes me as one who would 'act'. I get this suspicious feeling though that Eric knew from the get-go that he wasnt attracted to her so wanted to go out with a bang.

    It will be hard watching now without Eric but the show never seems to disappoint!

    Is anyone still watching this? I feel like all the guys are blending together. And why does everyone call out Nick as not being there for the right reasons? I don't get it at all. Its so bland.... Why do I keep watching it?!!?

    Hilarious, though, about the "do you ever "fart" in public" question.

  16. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @MrsMcD: I'm still watching and I don't understand the Nick thing either, I definitely think he's going to win.

    Anyone else mad that they made us sit through the lie detector test and then wouldn't share the results? Dylan skeeves me out, I'm surprised he's still there, I liked JJ

    I can't believe I didn't find this thread before.

    @MrsMcD: @KelLeeLeee: I didn't particularly get the Nick thing either until the end of last episode. He was kind of a jerk for taking her away first when he already had a rose. But, I didn't think it was that bad and I think he's going to end up being the one she chooses.

    Is it too early to start speculating about the next bachelor?

  18. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @Hoots: I agree, but I think he knows that he's one so he doesn't care. I'm thinking Josh, maybe Chris as the next Bachelor.

  19. LuLu Mom

    GOLD / wonderful olive / 19030 posts

    I think Chris will be the next bachelor...a rich farmer from the Midwest (well right up my alley) but I think that ads a little variety. I think she's going to pick Josh, even though I think he's a total player/there for the fame.

  20. deactivated_account

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @Hoots: Maybe he was a jerk to the other guys for taking her away, but it was mega hot for her and isn't that the point?

  21. Hoots

    kiwi / 673 posts

    @MrsMcD: Oh, yeah. I totally agree with you, it was pretty much the best thing ever for her. I'm not going to lie; I'm just not a Nick fan in general. I know that I haven't liked him pretty much from the beginning. I can't put my finger on it, there's just something about him.

    @KelLeeLeee: I'm really hoping for Chris. I think the producers brought Josh on the show thinking he would probably be the next bachelor because he's Aaron Murray's brother. DH says he's a tool and that he reminds him too much of Juan Pablo.

  22. IRunForFun

    pomelo / 5509 posts

    @Hoots: I don't like Nick either, and haven't from the beginning. There's just something about him that makes me go "ick." Plus, he's kind of a weiner. His reaction to last week's group date was so childish.

    My personal favorites are definitely Chris and Marcus!

  23. deactivated_account

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @Hoots: Maybe his hometown date will reveal some more about him.

    DH and I usually love the Bachelor and Bachelorette and consider it our trashy TV obsession but this season is kind of a bust for both of us. We're just not digging Andi or any of the guys.

  25. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    Re: Nick, I think it's b/c he was so arrogant in saying he thinks he's the front runner, then he wasn't participating in the mime thing, and then even tho he had a rose, he hogged time with her, etc lead the guys to think that he just wants to win?? I do think they're kinda hard of him (he reminds me of Nikki on JP's season). But then again I don't really like him so...

    I really like Chris, I always like the sweet type. I forget what season it was, I was obsessed with this guy who had recently lost his mother, had dogs, was super sweet, down to earth, etc.

  26. Hoots

    kiwi / 673 posts

    Just finished watching this week's episode on DVR. So, did anyone have any thoughts they want to share about this week's episode?

    Right now, I'm really rooting for Chris, but as the next bachelor. And I still don't like Nick, but I think it's really his voice and mannerisms that grate on my nerves. He constantly talks into his scarf. I think he also reminds me of someone on a different show/movie, but I can't put my finger on it.

  27. IRunForFun

    pomelo / 5509 posts

    @Hoots: I really like Chris, but I sense it won't go well at hometowns based on the comment he made in the preview about her being a homemaker.

    I can't put my finger on what bugs me about Nick either, but there's definitely something "off." He seems like he's trying too hard...and hes so smug!

    I'm thinking Josh will end up the winner, but my personal favorite is Marcus.

    I'm watching it right now. I hope Dylan goes...I don't think he's all that attractive or interesting. I like Brian, he seems nice and genuine, but I don't think they are a good fit...so I hope she keeps the other 4.

  29. Hoots

    kiwi / 673 posts

    @IRunForFun: Yeah, that was a bit weird. I agree that it probably won't go well, but Chris made it to top 4. So, he's in the running for the next bachelor (according to my MIL). And as for Andi, let's be real here. She could practice law in any county in the United States (assuming she could pass the bar. Would it be as interesting as Atlanta? No, but she could hang her shingle out. (If this was real life, which the Bachelorette logically probably isn't....). My other choice for the next bachelor is Marcus. I think he's adorable.

    @78h2o: I won't ruin anything. But, I do agree with your assessment. Dylan is just blah. Brian seems pretty genuine, but probably wouldn't be a good match for her. I think he would get on her nerves for some reason.

  30. deactivated_account

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @snowjewelz: The Nikki/Nick analogy is spot on. But I still like Nick alot!

    @Hoots: Agree that his scarfs are so annoying. Maybe its an east coast thing. Where is he from again?

    @IRunForFun: I missed the homemaker comment!!

    I don't even know the names of any of the other guys or what they do except for "former baseball player" and "farmer." I don't want any of them to be the next bahelor. Bore snore, all of them.

  31. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    @Hoots: yeah, wasn't Brian the one that was super awkward on the cooking date? I think he would annoy her too...it doesn't seem like they would match on an intellectual level for some reason.

    I really like Chris, but I doubt he would win. Even though she could technically practice law anywhere, a town of <800 is super small...doesn't seem like she'd have a lot to do.

    I actually like Nick... I think he has great sex appeal, though his confidence has definitely crossed the line to arrogance... However, it does seem like he has the best chemistry with Andi.

    I don't 100% trust Nick or Josh...they are both super cute and confident, but seem like they could be players. Marcus and Chris are both hot, sweet, and genuine. I hope one of them is the next bachelor... or even Josh. No way to Nick as the bachelor. I hope he is genuine and wins, since they seem best matched.

  32. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @MrsMcD: I think he's from WI? I or somewhere around there, scarves a definitely not an east cost thing! ha.

    Nick or Josh will be in the top 2, I think Nick will win. I looooove Marcus he is adorable, but I don't think he will be the next bachelor because he's so quiet. I think Chris would be a good choice, but something about his face annoys me (LOL). Do they always pick from the top 4? What about Marquel? I think he would be a good bachelor too!

  33. Hoots

    kiwi / 673 posts

    @KelLeeLeee: @78h2o: I agree, I think Nick will win. By far, the best chemistry with her. If he doesn't win, he won't be the bachelor. If they were considering him, I think they would have cut the film differently. Even the background music when he is talking is different than the other guys.

    So, my MIL, who is the authority about the bachelor in our family (I only started watching for Sean's season), says there was only one that wasn't in the top 4 since they started this rotation...Juan Pablo. I really really like Marquel, but I'm not sure they will go there after the last bachelor.

  34. Lindsay05

    pomegranate / 3759 posts

    It's getting harder to get through this season! Of the remaining guys, Josh seems like the best pick. I think his jerk-ish jock days are over and could be a genuinely nice guy. Marcus seems so soft spoken and really nice but I feel like he wouldn't be able to change a flat tire so that's a turn off. Chris is a super cool guy but his lifestyle is just plain unsuitable for Andi (although I left the city to move in the country and LOVE it!). And Nick. Oh Nick. The show is completely showing him as the villain because there is always one. It's a huge red flag though if nobody likes him. After the last episode, he does come across as very creepy and could be borderline controlling and manipulative. BUT then again, they could be playing that up.

    As for the next bachelor, I would love to see someone new step in. Bring in some fresh blood!

    Next weeks, episode looks super sad

  35. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    I think she'll pick Josh... I think her feelings for him were downplayed b/c she was cared he's not as into her as she is, esp knowing he's her type and guys like that has hurt her before.

    Nick is def getting on my nerves! The fact that most guys in the house don't have a good opinion of him say something... I can def see him & Josh being the final two though.

    I have a soft spot for Chris too. I actually keep thinking he dresses so fashionably for a farmer, lol. But I can see why it's tough for someone to want to be with him if he's set on staying in Iowa and being a farmer...

  36. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    @snowjewelz: I really like Chris. I feel like he is well-spoken, genuine, and confident without being arrogant. I would like to see him as the next bachelor (with a bunch of girls that are keen on living in the middle of nowhere).

    Marcus reminds me so much of the Drew from Desiree's season...quiet, sweet, pretty boy... I don't think he will win either.

  37. deactivated_account

    Is anyone watching?? Why doesn't anyone like Nick? I love him!

  38. deactivated_account

    And Chris is awesome too. His family seems great. If he doesn't get picked, I hope he's the next Bachelor.

  39. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @MrsMcD: I like Nick too! I think they made him look bad during the season, but he's adorable. I have a feeling she might pick Josh though. And Chris and his family are amazing, he's definitely going to be the next bachelor.

  40. Hoots

    kiwi / 673 posts

    I really hope it's not Josh. His relationship with his family seemed like a bit of a red flag. I'm not sure he's ready to let go and have his own family.

    I liked Chris's family, but I do think his mom would probably be a formidable mother-in-law to have. She reminds me of my DH's paternal grandmother. I still hope he'll be the next bachelor.

    @MrsMcD: I don't particularly like Nick mostly because he was a kind of jerk throughout the season and his mannerisms annoy the crap out of me. But, I agree with @KelLeeLeee that they made him look bad during the season, so that has a lot to do with it. Actually, a lot like Niki last season. I did like him more during this episode with his family.
