Marcus Grodd - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion

^ I love that he seems so different. I'm really disappointed that he isn't F1 or will be the next bachelor. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the the viewers all really love this guy and production has no choice but to make him the bachelor. I would watch a full season of Marcus without a doubt. Chris? Not so much.

I am still struggling with why Marcus would be labeled an outsider.  I am assuming that this label must have come from someone who was associated with the show, namely one of the guys.
 
The only thing that comes to mind, after seeing him with a cup in his hand, is that Marcus is not someone who is a heavy drinker and perhaps does not even drink hard liquor at all.  Plus, he stated that he is not one to start the party, which could have been interpreted by some of the guys as him being snobby, rather than him just being more laid back and less outgoing than some of other guys.  I hope that he is not being set up to be the next "Tierra" of Andi's season.

I have a feeling it will be more like Sharleen's edit. She was supposed to be a bit of an outsider but sill ended up with some good friends from the show. If the guys he wasn't closest to are the ones talking than you'll get that side of it. Just like RS getting info from the Clare camp and saying Nikki didn't get along with the others.

Yeah. It could be his background of spending time living in Europe that he has a different worldview and lifestyle than the typical All-American guys and I don't mean that in bad way, just may have a different vibe/temperment than the others, keeping them from getting super close.

I hope if it's true he wasn't as buddy-buddy with the guys, it doesn't mean he was hard to get along with and doesn't turn his edit into a bad one.

It was more that the others became super close this season and he was a bit more introverted. That doesn't make him a bad guy though, nor will he get a bad edit, IMO....It's not that he had any issues/confrontations with the guys(Actually, none at all), it's just that he kept more to himself while the other guys were a really close-knit group(especially the F8-kinda frat boy-ish). He was more so focused on Andi, I've been told..

   How cute is that ? I can so believe it.

ETA : I will be mad if they do give him a bad edit or call him out on social media like they did for Drew last season. Cannot forgive Mills for some of the crap he pulled.

Aww me too. That's how he seems from the bits we've seen. I hope he realized she was being pulled in other directions and doesn't get too heartbroken. Maybe why the HTD pics seemed different, they both were pulling back with him sensing it from her. Also, maybe if he had genuine feelings for her it was hard to hang with the other guys and maybe hear them talk about their dates/connections. Some people on this show seem to be able to handle that while I would imagine it being brutal if you're falling for someone.

This guy is a total hunk and I feel yucky just thinking that, he's younger than my son for gawd's sake!

I can understand the whole European thing. He apparently played soccer there in his youth, so he could have been there for a number of years. Maybe he has an accent too!

Thanks, Chloe, for the explanation.  And if Marcus kept more to himself and was focusing his attention more on Andi and getting to know her better, then that alone could have rubbed some of the guys the wrong way.  It happens every season with a house full of guys.
 
But, I am glad to hear that Marcus will not be getting a bad edit, just because he is more introverted.  It also sounds like he probably did not give the producers anything to use against him, like in his PIs, where they try to get the guys to give them some good "sound bites" to use later - if it suits the story that they are trying to present.
 
If you should hear anything from someone who knows Marcus or has seen him lately, let us know how he is doing now that the filming is over. He has to resurface sometime, most likely back at work.

Well he may say "eh".      Seriously I hope he is a little different. So funny that he works in the city I live in. Of course I also live very near Sean's sister and have never seen them or anyone else from the franchise (barring seeing Charlie when I went to an event after his season).

Him not giving them to edit him bad kinda reminds of Kypten..they had to give him a good edit..I have said this before too..Ryan Sutter was a quiet one in the house.

As others have hinted at, this reminds me of Ryan Sutter. I felt really bad for Ryan thinking "poor sap she is going to chew him up and spit him out" but that didn't happen. But apparently it has for Marcus. Possibly.
Hopefully he got clued in a bit at the HTD though.
