Bachelorette 10 - Andi Dorfman - Episode 4 - Mon June 2/14 *Spoilers & Sleuthing* - Discussion

He did more in his life than most people could ever do and appearing on the Bachelorette was likely just another one of those things he checked of a list. I am sure he did not really have any issue with her after he left, and went about doing his usual worldly adventures. If I were to guess, he does not seem to be the kind that would want people to take pity on him and sit sulking about this in his honor. I doubt that very much.

I agree, Kasha, the CH/Andi segment was an epic fail.  Comical that CH said the segment was done to honor Eric.  

MeAndi....

It wasn't unusual and definitely wasn't even close to the worst thing that's ever happened on the Bachelorette. I honestly don't think it made either one of them look bad and it is being blown out of proportion on here. People have differences in opinions. Such is life.

While it may be true that people wouldn't have had as much issue with it if Eric hadn't passed, the point is he did. No, what Andi said was not the worst thing ever, but this gave them a golden opportunity to pay respect and tribute to someone who, by all accounts, was very well liked and respected. Instead, they chose to not show a rose ceremony (out of respect = Joke) and then spend 10 minutes talking about how it's too bad he won't be at the MTA, and how it made THEM feel. When someone dies like Eric, I believe they deserve some respect and dignity, and they paid him none of that when given the chance. Instead, they go to promos for the next episode.

A joke about Dylan? What did he say? Maybe I don't really want to know....how could he make any kind of joke about Dylan? I would guess it wasn't very funny.
