Eric Bigger - Bachelorette 13 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

As much fun as watching Kenny suplex Lee in a kiddie pool was, getting opinions from the squad on the guys was the real highlight of the day for me. In their eyes, Dean might not have been their favorite at After the Final Rose, but on this date he redeemed himself. While Eric, who used to be their favorite, was now being questioned. Going into that evening, I knew that Eric and I would need some real valuable time.

When it came time for the after party the big thing that stood out was my conversation with Eric. I know some people may be surprised that I gave my rose to a man who had just questioned how seriously I was taking this journey, but I actually respected his candidness.

When I started going on group dates during Nick’s season, group dates were extremely difficult for me. Like Eric, I was skeptical that group dates could lead to an engagement, and it took time for me to realize they absolutely held opportunities to make real progress. Hearing Eric question the journey and my choices is the exact kind of direct conversation real couples have to undergo. Eric and I had an issue that we disagreed on, but we discussed said issue like adults, listened to each other and resolved this issue. These are the exact open and candid conversations I want to have in my relationships. Eric got the rose for challenging me, listening to me and keeping it 100.

I like that he could stand up for himself while having that conversation with Lee whom I find extremely repulsive. It's not fortunate in what ways Eric projects his emotions and thoughts, in this aspect he lacks some maturity but I hope he'll get there. I think he's actually one of the genuine ones in the house regardless. We'll see how it unfolds.

He is no annoying whaboom, he is just in his own head wondering why he is there and is smart enough to know if Rachel doesnt show an interest in you then you are just there for the numbers. HE could have remained silent and ride it out but he wants to know if to invest his emotions in Rachel or not by wanting to ask her. Lee is pure evil and Iggy should mind his own business. Dont go strutting around pretending to know what is best for another 20 something year old guy you met 5 mins ago Iggy.
Eric shouting didnt even bother me, he had told them to leave him out of their conversations with Rachel but they still went ahead anyway, at least he didnt resort to physical violence. Some people shout to get things out of their minds especially when you are talking to people who insist on making your business their personal crusades. IMO
