Marcus Grodd - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion

Im sure they are ALL going to laugh their butts off when they see themselves on Mondays episode.   

They just need to watch with the friends who'll tease them good-naturedly.... like pointing out how white one is, how red another's face looks, how lousy he looks in whatever he's wearing. They all have friends like that (I would think). Now a "Bachelor viewing party" would be completely different (and if any of the guys are hosting one of those this week, that will give some insight into who they are).

Bringing these posts across from the fan thread..........

It's about time "his hotness" got a fan thread. Is he still locked up in somebody's attic? Is that why he hasn't surfaced? We need to hear from him for clues about what really happened. I think there are some surprises coming. RS has been wrong before!

Because of the Nick video I really don't doubt the f2 and f1 spoilers personally.  But seeing how into Marcus Andi was ep 1, and her gazing at him in the peek for this week plus we've already seen the flirty attraction from Santa Barbara and CT, I'm really curious how their storyline will play out.  Agree there may be surprises.  She def reacted to his picture on Kimmel.

We need to keep an eye on a falling edit line for Marcus. Something that indicates that he's a gonner much like Patrick is already receiving.

As you all know I am concerned about the blackout on his social media.  Sorry  
But perhaps Marcus is a very sensitive guy. His elimination at F4 also co-coincided with he news of Erics passing.
Double whammy to deal with. Maybe on hearing both the news  and while hurting, he went online and removed his pintrest as well and decided no more social media stuff for me.
Trying to come up with reasons for his seclusion to the general public (fans).

I wish we had a family member or friend on this board to tell us he is not hurting now. :WAVEY:

I think that's a great idea and can definitely see this scenario happening.
There are still some blank spots in SC as well as editing so we need to be vigilant and keep a close eye on the last few episodes because that's were I think the path to love won't be so straight or narrow.

Really we have no idea if and how much Marcus used social media before deactivating.  I know it's rare for his age, but maybe he's just not that into it, maybe that's more common for guys than girls?  Does anyone mid-twenties know of guys who pass on that kind of thing?

Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with strangers following and scrutinizing my whereabouts, moods and activities from tweets and pics etc, especially as he will become more and more known each episode.  But then again you couldn't pay me enough to ever be on a reality show, so  :greenman: if that applies to him.  I can only imagine some of the tweets he'd get after this weeks date   .

Otherwise, I wonder if the final 4 aren't really allowed much activity yet, because I'd think the show would want their next potential bachelors to start building up a following.  I don't think Chris is doing much either, is he?  Did Sean tweet during Emily's season?

^^ going by his handle mentions he wasn't big on Twitter at all.

Both of my daughters and son-in-law pass on that kind of thing and many of their friends. In fact they say FB if for old people like "me" and twitter is just a "hassle". They don't feel their lives should be out there and value their privacy. This is from the NYC area, but my nieces and nephews from the great state of Missouri do likewise.

I have 4 kids in their 20s.... 28 to 22. The oldest uses twitter since she's in campus ministry with athletes and can blast messages quickly. She's been on Facebook since its inception. All my kids are on Facebook but post rarely or, with the exception of the one in ministry, have set their privacy levels very high to protect against employers, future employers or other business contacts finding things where they have been tagged in someone else's post. Two are on IG - one private and one with a "no person" policy for her posts.

As all social media become increasingly used, I think many are far more careful about what is public (and many have been warned by their parents to be very careful what others see). If someone wants to be in the public eye, then they post plenty of things..... or they choose carefully what is public and keep private things private by using a lesser known medium or something totally private.

Agreed. It's certainly not the "cool" place it once was. I am seeing more and more FB activity in my own generation---again can not stress the importance of "privacies" being used.

On the opposite side, many of my friends Instagram like crazy and check in everywhere possible, including the gym, grocery stores and starbies. If we didn't Instagram it, did we even have it for brunch???

Yeah, Instagram is the new in place to go or twitter more than Facebook. I noticed a ton of talk about snap chat too (don't get me started on that crap).

I think the point isn't how much or little he uses Facebook / Twitter / Instagram and Pintrest in the past. The very fact that he had all 4 accounts prior to the show means that he wasn't opposed to it (unlike myself who for eg. does not have a FB account but my husband does and posts for both of us.).

The point is that there is some big reason why he has felt the need to not even go back on all the first 3 and remove himself from the 4th.

So completely.
