Well we knew that Bachelorette Andi Dorfman’s first 1 on 1 was with contestant Eric Hill, but were not posting it because it would be a spoiler. But now that he has died the internet is buzzing with reports of his time on the set of the Bachelorette. Sadly Eric Hill died in a paragliding accident in Utah today.
Days after 26-year-old Andi was announced as the new Bachelorette, the Atlanta-based assistant district attorney was spotted on her first 1 on 1 date and it was with Eric in Ventura, Calif., according to E! News.
The two shared a picnic on the beach, and participated in activities like beach paddle and kite flying.
“Andi seemed excited and relaxed for the date, however, her date seemed very nervous,” the source said. “He started to get more relaxed once they were settled.”
Eric was seen flipping Andi in the air (Eric was extremely athletic).
The 32-year-old contestant had already been eliminated off the show when the accident occurred–and according to Reality Steve he was not eliminated in the usual way hinting that Eric may have left or been booted for other reasons.
He allegedly travelled in the same circles as Jef Holm and Brooks Forester, but Jef Holm alleges that he did not know Eric. Brooks did.
It remains to be seen how ABC will handle this difficult situation.
The new season of The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 19.
