He looks really cute coming out of the limo.

If I had my way... The Next Bachelor! What number would that be?

I've only seen a couple of pics of Marcus but don't find him all that attractive. Is there something I'm missing? He seems to have a lot of fans here.

^^ Just the usual, with different people attracted to different guys, I guess.

I think many are finding him drool-worthy and dreamy (the eyes, the hair, the smile, the height, I could go on) and seeming sweetly adorable but obviously not everyone will. I've stopped trying to understand other's attractions after some guys I couldn't fathom anyone going ga-ga over had many admirers.  It's definitely interesting how we can all see people so differently.

rambling post ahead .................
As relaxing said -different strokes for different folks. I didn't think too much of him either when I saw the initial pictures but changed my mind soon after. He has some sort of shyness which I find endearing and noticed on the casino date with Andi. She seemed to feel the same since she kept pinching his cheeks and pulling him towards her. Seems she was teasing him. At one point (during the music break) someone cat-called something to them and he put his hand to his face in a shy gesture. Personally I like that.
Plus I have a thing for soccer players to he fits my bill just fine.

I think Josh has one of the best smiles ever and he seems to have a lot of energy but I haven't warmed to the other F3 yet. I am rooting for the FIR contestant to get the FR - will show a heck of judgement on the part of DA andi but other than that don't find him attractive. Chris I am waiting to see his personality because his looks and body do squat for me.

Since Of the f4 I like Marcus the best, I am happy to see that he gets two 1on1 dates plus a GR which means they surely will show a little 1on1 time for the benefit of the viewers (unless Andi gives him the rose only on the basis of his bod in which case      ).
I would have wished for him to go to the exotic locations for well...reasons but there is no evidence of this and at least we do get a few seconds of what Andi got to see in episode 2. We'll take what we get.  
So we'll get plenty of Marcus and sure that whatever has happened we will get to see a storyline with him this season.
We have never had an F4 with so much (mandatory) screen time before that I can remember so this will be a treat. Unless someone else can remember an f4 in previous seasons like this.

Thanks. I haven't seen much of any of the guys and don't really have time to do a big search. The only guys in the f4 who's pics I liked so far are Nick & Josh. I'm all about personality so am looking forward to seeing them on the show.

nd - I shortened the quote to your last bit only ...

The only one that jumps to mind is Kacie since she was a major front runner story wise on Ben's season and fan fave who went at F4, and as we know she did the major cry in the limo, "I must return bit" and probably would have been Bette if not for Emily.

Also, I think Kirk on Ali's season had a pretty decent story arc and amount screentime at the start, she just wasn't as attracted to him as much as some of the others as time went on. He got lost in the shuffle a bit since there were so many great guys that season, which I think could be where we're headed again - lots of good chemistry and connections between lead and the top 4, with Marcus just falling 4th on that list for Andi (or producers want their next Bachelor prospect kept until top 3).

I think those are the best seasons - when the lead can be flirty and close with several of the guys she likes, so should be fun!

Yups - Andi certainly can be flirty at will. We saw that in JaunP season and the instant turn around was not pretty.

I rewatched their FD and during the day/dinner I actually thought it was one of the best conversations JP had with any of the girls.  He questioned Andi on forcing herself to want to fall in love based on a comment at her HTD, vs really feeling something.  And she got excited that he showed he was actually putting some thought in to this process.  They talked about how she might be with Camilla.  It was actually a really good 2-way conversation.  He wasn't asking for 'besitos' or saying 'it's okay'.  

Then we jump to her anger the next morning and confrontation with him.  I think it really shows how much of an act she did, and how her anger didn't make a lot of sense (either sour grapes, bruised ego or Bachette audition). I don't doubt JP was insensitive to her and didn't get how it came across but not to warrant her reaction. I do like her, but sure didn't like that exit.

The whiplash turnaround makes me nervous for some of the guys this season with how well she might sell them on being the one, when they are not.

TA.

She seemed like two different people (literally night and day depending on the time of the incident) and that makes me fear for these guys.
That is why unlike Des I see a different lead this time. Perhaps it will be less boring (loved Des on Seans season but she put me to sleep occasionally) but more controversial.

Hopefully the rejected guys had some inkling of what was to come prior to their elimination and that they went into it with their eyes wide open. If they watch the end of JaunP they should.

I realize there are a lot of JuanPa defenders out there- and in a way I am one because he behavior is very rooted in culture, but isn't it just possible that he was not the same JuanPa in the fantasy suite? If he truly did discuss his night with Claire (and we have a pretty good idea how he talked about it to Claire) wouldn't that change your whole feelings about a man? I know Andi was encouraged to confront JuanPa, and as a prosecutor she was the woman for the job, but I don't think I see her "turning" on a guy unless they give her cause. While this may be edited tv, it is also her life- and she has to live it going forward.

That being said, I do believe she's like Sean in that she understands tptb are making a tv show. So certain things are done, edited, etc. to move the story along (such as Sean's late night shouts in Prague actually recorded during hide and seek the next day).
