The fact that Marcus is not frat-boyish and seemed to have been there sincerely to pursue Andi , just makes me like him even more. Im sure the producers will keep him in the background, so that they can push Chris forward as the next bachelor.

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.

It was more that the others became super close this season and he was bit more introverted, kinda the odd one out. 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.

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.

Maybe there is still the possibility that he did get clued in and he is the one that bowed out. And maybe that is a lot of wishful thinking on my part. sad

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!

GA, when it come to TV boyfriends age doesn't matter, plus cougars are in right now!

Let me start by saying I am not a Trista fan, but admire the happy life that they live. I felt the same way, and even felt she did a little with that nightmare wedding and the specials and all Ryan looked fairly miserable during the whole thing.

Since I have been impressed with her willingness to move to Colorado and have her family there. I kind of wish she didn't drag him on so many tv shows, but I think it is their balance to keep her happy while he gets to live where he loves.

I don't think Marcus was heartbroken. But, it would be great to at least have a sighting of the guy!
