Marcus Grodd - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion

In the ep. 2 description, it says that one person on the group date gets nervous/anxious (something to that effect). And It seems as if that could be Marcus, which then leads to him getting the GDR.

So if he blasts Andi the way she did to JPG, will he get his own show & be the next Bachelor?

 :bigsmile:  Good question!

It's all about being vulnerable, and doing things out of your element. AKA making you look stupid for drama and revenue. There's always one contestant that freaks out and doesn't want to do it. Later, the lead praises them for doing something out of their element.

I'm not a Chippendales kind of gal either. I feel bad for Marcus. He's not enjoying this at all, especially if it's his nature to be a quiet guy who keeps to himself.

Can we go ahead and blame Andi for putting him in this position ? She knew how nervous he really was out of the limo so it stands to reason that she would have guessed that this is not his thing.  . At all.

I'm going to guess he will not be attending a viewing party to watch the upcoming episode if he does watch at all. His friends will not allow him to live this one down (and same  some of the other contestants).

Why would it be Andi's fault? I'm sure she has little, if any at all, influence on dates.

Andi reveals that this date is actually a special event for the charity “Bachelor Gives Back.” The way they will raise funds will be to strip in front of a live audience. Andi divides the guys into fantasy themed groups for their routines, resulting in hilarious auditions, but two unlucky men have to perform solo.

I dont understand the need to place blame. Marcus signed up for this show. He is a grown man who makes his own decisions. He knew he would be in situations that might not be to his liking and yet he came on the show for adventure or love or whatever... Ultimately he could have told the producers no and walked away so. yeah off my soap box now.

This is like Andi signs the date cards and plans the dates and organizes the fantasy suite. More like Cassie/Élan/Pete/Harrison and Andi does the bidding like a good little lead or ELSE.

Actually I think it might've been Ron who was having anxiety. If you look at the comments in this insta pic http://instagram.com/p/oTaPQQArkW/ He sais how he's anxiety all over again.

^^ I sincerely doubt it was Ron considering he was the one in charge(in their group stripping)..

All of the contestants are grown men / women that make their own decisions as to how much they will put up with on the show. They don't have any control over how their actions or words will be edited though.  Andi was willing to appear nearly naked on the show and it certainly paid off for her!  Heck, she was even willing to continue "dating" a guy that by her own admission wasn't interested enough in her to ask questions about her likes & dislikes.  Why, she even brought him home to meet mom & dad!  Andi even agreed to spend the night with him!  But the payoff - being the Bachelorette - was worth all of that to her. 

Good times...
