 I was pretty sure there would be an explanation as to why it was ok for any contestant other than Nick to post pics with Meandi.

The simplest explanation may be that she had genuine feelings for Nick and enjoyed having his "tongue down her throat".  Now, off to find that photo...

this one? I see no tongues....not even kissing

[Jeepers]

Like this......... ?!?!

well, Marcus has been coherent with things he said on the show ...
and you know what ... I respect him for that. He wasn't friends with Nick ... so why should he be now. Good for him ... walk your own path.

I'll correct my statement without the sarcasm.  Marcus' is a pose one could do with one's own sister.  Nick's isn't.  Therein lies the difference.  And I'm not criticizing Nick for posting what he did, just explaining why it's a false analogy to assume there is no difference between the photos.

I wouldn't consider a picture of Marcus with his arm around Andi to be equal to a picture of Nick with his tongue down Andi's throat though.  Just sayin'.

IA, I don't know what possibly else Nick might have meant with that picture other than a dig at Josh and a reminder to Andi that even if she's all Team Josh now, it wasn't always that way.

Sorry but I just checked Nick's twitter and Instagram,  and I found two photos of him and Andi. I don't see any kissing on either one.  Have I missed any other pictures? The show is still airing and Nick is still a contender this point, so why would this be a dig at Josh?

There are far too many posts across this forum that are sarcastic in nature towards our fellow posters. Whether they are straight out sarcastic, or have an underlying sarcastic tone. Please do not even attempt to get away with it.

If you are looking for your post, and do not see it, that means it has been deleted. We are editing and deleting far too many posts.

Did not think of that but yes - agree.

The thing I remember was Brian and the others (Cody and Chris) were upset with Nick because they felt he was taking time from Andi instead of themselves.

With Marcus though - he already had his antennae up right from the beginning when Nick got his date. The editors left that in for a reason (him talking to Andrew).
Never once did Marcus seem to be upset with Nick that he "took" time away from him - Marcus seemed pretty good with his own journey and comfortable in his relationship with Andi. It is not the spirit of competition for him (with Nick or anyne else for that matter).
Which makes  that EDITED storyline a bit stranger - there is 1 more episode to go where they aren't even on group dates or anything.

But the Marcus vs Nick edit has been set from the start. Does possibly something more happen which did not for Brian Cody and Gang which Marcus is aware of ?

I agree and I also respect how he confronted Nick on the show. Both times when Nick walked in when the guys were talking about him, Marcus didn't seem to bat any eye but continued talking except that he began talking directly to Nick (the first time even offering a quick synopsis to Nick to bring him up to speed about what was being talked about) rather that about him. I think Marcus showed great composure and unflappability in doing so.

Marcus was a goalkeeper - composure and unflappability were probably his trademark qualities in sports.

[sbolduc]

^^ Agreed. Overall I have been impressed with how all the guys have dealt with the drama, whether partially contrived or not. I appreciate the guys being up front with Nick about their issues and I appreciate that Nick has been able to keep his composure while still stand true to his own convictions. I appreciate that the guys have not gone and "tattle told" to Andi and I appreciate Nick being forthcoming with Andi in regards to his issues with the guys.

Overall I have been impressed with ALL of the top six guys, I think this is the best group since Ali's top guys.

He really does show these qualities often - having to strip, sing, scale building, deal with man drama around him, etc. During the talk when Nick returned Nick said something about 'you're making stuff up' and Marcus stayed calm, cool and collected but said "No. It's true." and carried on to have his say and make his point in a measured even-tempered way. Heart him and his earnest, soft-spoken maturity.
