This may have already been referenced; if so, I apologize. A couple of days ago I saw an interview with Andi (it likely was posted here) that was in conjunction with the basketball group date in which she was asked if she believed in love at first sight. She indicated that she did and added that it very well could be that she ends up saying that she fell in love as soon as "he" stepped out of the limo (paraphrasing). Anyone else recall seeing the interview?

She prefaces by saying she might look back on it .....
That could mean she didn't recognize it at the time or didn't allow herself to?

Thanks for bringing it over. Or she isn't allowed to say so. As far as I know, other than her cheshire grin when asked, I don't think she has declared whether she ended up with someone, has she?

[notarose]

DocNash, not in any of the interviews I'm aware of.  She also hasn't used the stock line "I'm very happy with way things turned out", or an equivalent, nor has she said "maybe I didn't pick anyone".  
She merely allows the interviewer to ramble while she responds with her "Cheshire grin".

THE TWO-NIGHT "BACHELORETTE" SPECIAL EVENT CONCLUDES MONDAY, JUNE 2 WITH AN ALL NEW EPISODE



ON-COURT DRAMA TURNS INTO OFF-COURT FIREWORKS, AS FIRST, 11 MEN GO TOE-TO-TOE WITH WNBA SUPERSTARS AND THEN, ANDI’S FAIRYTALE GOES AWRY,

ON “THE BACHELORETTE”



THE TWO-NIGHT “BACHELORETTE” SPECIAL EVENT CONCLUDES

MONDAY, JUNE 2, WITH AN ALL NEW EPISODE



Country Music Singer-Songwriter Jon Pardi Gives a Special Performance for Andi and Marcus






“Episode 1004” – A two-night Bachelorette special event concludes as Andi and the13 remaining men begin their global journey to find love with a trip to the scenic New England area and Connecticut. Dylan is the lucky recipient of the first one-on-one date, but he has a lot on his mind. Whether he chooses to share his tragic story with Andi might make all the difference between their relationship steaming up or getting derailed. Eleven men think they are on top of their game until it is revealed that they first will face off against WNBA superstars in a no-holds-barred basketball game and then, in an even more hotly contested match between the guys, with the winning team spending more time with Andi. Facing her overwhelming fear of heights, Andi invites Marcus to rappel 30 stories down the side of their hotel – but high winds turn this date into a grueling challenge. Finally, Andi has a dramatic meltdown at the cocktail party as she wonders if any of the men are taking her seriously, on “The Bachelorette,” MONDAY, JUNE 2 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.



Dylan and Andi spend a day taking a nostalgic steam train through the breathtaking New England countryside. It’s Dylan’s opportunity to open up to Andi and reveal his heartbreaking family history, which he knows he needs to do to move on and have a real relationship. But will Dylan be able to let go of his hurt long enough to trust Andi and, if so, how will Andi react?



Eleven men are eager to show off their basketball skills when they arrive at the Mohegan Sun arena, until Andi explains that they will compete against some of the WNBA’s best – superstars Swin Cash, Tamika Catchings, Elena Delle Donne, Lindsey Harding and Nneka Ogwumike. But this is no slam dunk for Andi’s suitors, so Andi changes it up and has the bachelors divide into two teams to battle one another. However, only the winning team will attend an after party with Andi. One man takes some alone time with the Bachelorette to make sure that they are on the same page, but will the date rose go to the best athlete on court or the most romantic suitor off court?



Marcus receives the final date card for what will be the ultimate adrenaline rush. Andi decides that she needs to face her fear of heights and picks this athletic bachelor to accompany her in a heart-stopping rappelling descent 30 floors down the side of the Mohegan Sun in 50 mile per hour winds. Will Andi take a leap of faith with her brave Prince Charming or will he be as frightened as she is? The couple end the evening with a romantic dinner and country singer-song writer Jon Pardi serenading them.



The cocktail party is full of emotional drama. After a serious discussion with one of the men, Andi has a tearful breakdown and addresses all her suitors about her intentions and whether they are there for the right reasons, leaving them stunned and speechless. Eleven men are left to travel with Andi to Europe, starting in Marseilles, France.



The 13 remaining men are:



Andrew, 30, a social media marketer from Culver City, CA

Brian, 27, a basketball coach from Camp Hill, PA

Chris, 32, a farmer from Arlington, IA

Cody, 28, a personal trainer from Chicago, IL

Dylan, 26, an accountant from Boston, MA

Eric, 31, an explorer from Citrus Heights, CA

J J, 31, a pantsapreneur from San Francisco, CA

Josh M., 29, a former professional baseball player from Atlanta, GA

Marcus, 25, a sports medicine manager from Dallas, TX

Marquel, 26, a sponsorship salesman from Las Vegas, NV

Nick V., 33, a software sales executive from Chicago, IL

Patrick, 29, an advertising executive from Newport Beach, CA

Tasos, 30, a wedding event coordinator from Denver, CO

So, has it been found out if Andi is back at work or not?

So, has it been found out if Andi is back at work or not?

I don't know if she can do that full time. I don't think someone can moonlight as the lead for the B/ette and have a full time job, especially one like hers that require a lot of time (prep for litigation cases). Unless she has no litigation cases and working part time in administration side of her work. I'm curious too.

It was reported she had until 5/31/14 to get back to work, or that slot would be filled by someone else.

The Bachelorette Host on Eric's Final Episode: It's Hard to Know the Right Thing to Do

This week's emotionally charged two-part episode of The Bachelorette wrapped up by discussing late contestant Eric Hill following his exit from the show.

On Monday's episode, Eric and Andi got into a confrontation about their relationship not moving forward after their initial one-on-one date. Andi ultimately decided it was best for Eric leave prior to the rose ceremony, but tragically that was the final conversation they'd have before his unexpected death in a paragliding accident in April. As host Chris Harrison tells us in our weekly chat, the show eventually decided to cut the rose ceremony and instead air an intimate conversation between Harrison and Andi about Eric. Read on for more of Harrison's take on the episodes.

Was Sunday night's group date performance of Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You" better or worse in person?
Chris Harrison: It was worse. It was right up there with the Sister Christian performance on Bachelor Pad. The only good part was that there were so many people there screaming and yelling that it made it somewhat OK.  But they were terrible. The funniest part was the opera singer who was taking himself so seriously.

I can't get a read on Nick. What are your thoughts about him?
Harrison: It sounds weird, but he's incredibly confident [on the outside], but deep down he's not, and you can tell he's unsure of this. Andi has this great ability to make the guys feel like they're the only one in the room and then ... when they're on the group date they think, "She didn't really pay attention to me." So, I think they all have confidence with her alone, but when they're not it's tough.

What about J.J. who got a rose on his one-on-one.
Harrison: He's easy. He's a decision right now that she doesn't have to think about, but he's definitely going to have to step it up.

During Sunday's cocktail party, some of the guys confronted Andrew about getting a waitress' number. Do you know what really happened?
Harrison: I didn't know it was going on, but in talking to the guys after, it's one of two things: either some really cute girl shoved her number in his hand and he didn't tell people, but they found out. or he asked for her number, got it and bragged about it. Everyone can deduce their own conclusions of what happened, but how did everyone find out if he didn't tell anyone?

On Monday's episode, Dylan opened up about his tragic family history. Were you surprised he got the rose at all?
Harrison: A lot had to do with how much he opened up -- not that she wasn't going to give him a rose anyway -- but they shared such an intense moment. I think she likes him.

Marcus also had a great one-on-one and he is not afraid to talk about his feelings for her!
Harrison: I mean, he's falling in love with her already! It might be too much too soon for her.

What was your take on Eric and Andi's confrontation?
Harrison: It was a weird argument. Eric kind of stepped in it and was knee-deep in the situation. I'm not sure why she thought she didn't know him very well because he was so open about his family and religion, and I don't know why he thought she was being fake. I don't think he meant exactly what he was saying, it just didn't come off so well. All of a sudden it escalated. And also it was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong thing to say. Andi was tired, she was a little bit upset with the guys because they had been bro-ing out a lot and not paying as much attention to her as they should and it was a perfect storm and a bad situation for Eric.

When did you decide that you and Andi would sit down for an interview instead of airing the rose ceremony?
Harrison: We left the rose ceremony in [the initial edit] and then we all watched it and thought, "This doesn't feel right." We circled back [because] it's hard to know what the right thing to do is. And Andi was reluctant to sit down and talk about it. Even when we sat down, we weren't sure what the conversation would be and if we'd use it But it turned out, I think, really well for what we wanted it to be, which was an homage to Eric and dealing with the situation. Like Andi said, you always get to come back and have that moment at "Men Tell All" and he would've laughed it off, it would've been water under the bridge. They didn't get that chance. I think it was respectful, and I stand behind it. I think we did the right thing.

Eric passed away while you were filming hometown dates. Have you figured out if you'll air that initial conversation when you all first found out?
Harrison: We're making decisions as we go. We'll decide when we get there.

Any final teases for when the show returns in two weeks?
Harrison: There's the emotional follow-up that spills over. And Marcus is the first who really falls in love, and it gets serious quick.
