Re: Marcus Grodd - Bachelorette 10 Contestant - Spoilers - Discussion Thread #2

I am conflicted with Marcus, I love him and want him to find love, and not have his heart broken on TV but also not sure I want him with Andi!
TBH if this season was not spoiled, I would see Josh leaving at F3. I do not see the love story others are seeing with Josh, i see a guy who wants to win and thinks Andi is his GF by default just because he is her type and they both live in Atlanta

I think Marcus has shown how he would be good for Andi: calmed her fears rappelling, calmed also during the Craig party, good kisser, stands out to her even though he is in the background.
Like you, I'm not sure how Andi is good for Marcus. Trying to think of an example other than her kissing and giving him roses. hmmm

On Monday, he will be talking about his childhood which the epi summary suggests could be sad so that will give her an opportunity to show her compassionate side.

I was ambiguous. An opportunity to show her compassionate side to Marcus.

The storyline is not only about him calming her fears it is also about her calming his. He was the one she pulled his hands out of his pocket when he came out from the limo and made him take deep breaths with her, she was the one that went to check on him and encourage him prior to him going on stage as the top gun and she made sure that he knew that she understood that she was putting him in uncomfortable situations.
She is putting him in situations yet encouraging him along the way and in turn also helping him overcome his fears.

ITA. They were quietly building their relationship, imo.

Marcus has to have an obstacle to overcome, and I think the bolded will be his obstacle.

I thought this pre-season, but their edit has been so painfully boring for me to watch. I think Marcus is very hot, but they are really showing him to us as very interesting. Even the date in CT which I expected to be smoking hot was kind of meh to me. I don't think it is Marcus's fault, I don't even know if it is Andi's fault or just the stupid edit. Except for the kissing there is nothing interesting about their interactions to me. I also am a little suspect of him falling in love with her the second week of knowing her. That is just so fast! And the ILY already, it is kind of crazy to me. Like he is way stuck in the bubble and not seeing the actual woman.

i agree with the second part of this post (did not bold it). However even after he says all that she still looks happy and literally pulling him towards her. So she doesn't seem to mind.
Edit or not, I am watching whatever non-edited signs she is giving off and they all say I want Marcus. Both on the show and afterwards also.

Could be, I actually hope it isn't him. Lacy seems like a great person and sweet and nice, so I am hoping that he really did go on BiP and fall for her. I like Marcus too much to see him stuck with MeAndi at this point.

I do also think Andi is one who kisses when she doesn't know what to say, and I don't doubt that she was happy with him being in love with her. I am sure it fed her huge need to be adored.

Marcus re-tweeted Lacy's tweet about her attendance at CH's charity event last night.

I believe that There will be an unsurmountable obstacle for Marcus. I believe that at Brussels dinner he will tell Andi that he has never been in love before. On this show, that is often seen as a deal breaker. I guess it is because the lead doesn't trust that the person knows what true love actually feels like, as opposed to just being swept up in the excitement and competition of the show. Combine that with his previous admission that he didn't know how to handle the emotions he was feeling early on, and he considered leaving, and this will be the reason why Andi will eliminate him. She will cite the reasons as his younger age and lack of previous love experience.

I would like Marcus to find a nice girl and be happy. If it doesn't work out with the girl who caught his eye in Mexico, then maybe he could use his cryotechnology and freeze himself for 10 years until my DD is ready to marry him! Hugesmile

Marcus seems like a sweet guy. I hope he is with Lacy and happy. I liked her so much when she was on and was surprised she went home so early.

Truthfully, in this season, I almost forget about Marcus….out of the F4, he just blends in the best. Not a bad thing, no drama with him.

Ha, ha, Mia, I thought you were going to say to freeze you for 10 years ... but sharing him with your daughter is a loving gesture too. :cutesmile!:

I 'd need to be in that deep freezer more than 10 years for Marcus to catch up to me! They'd have to get an ice pick out after I exited that thing!
