When and why was contestant Eric Hill eliminated from The Bachelorette?

So on Monday May 26th we saw the previews for week 3 airing June 2nd and the preview shows some serious tension amongst the men and some scandal surrounding a contestant who has a “girlfriend”.

The previews make it look like it’s Chicago personal trainer, Cody Sattler, but I don’t think it is because Cody is eliminated later under normal circumstances.

Here is the preview for next week. It looks pretty incriminating for Cody, right?

But Cody doesn’t get the boot for a while, so he can’t have a girlfriend.

I think it’s Eric Hill (if anyone at all), but its not next week its the following week June 9th (UPDATE 5/28/2014: It looks like the June 9th episode will air June 2 and the June 2nd (week 3 episode) will air Sunday June 1st) Eric is eliminated on Monday June 2nd, week 4 under unusual circumstances and we know Andi feels betrayed by him because she is so upset she cancels the cocktail party and eliminates him beforehand.

So, it’s certainly possible that Eric did not have a girlfriend, but what did he do to make Andi so upset that she could not even wait until the rose ceremony? Keep in mind show spoiler Reality Steve contends the reason really does not portray Eric in the best light.

“Make no mistake though, if this tragedy  didn’t happen, Eric’s exit would’ve been something that was focused more on.”

So I am just hypothesizing a few possibilities that would upset Andi…

POSSIBILITIES

1: A girlfriend

2: Maybe he flirted with someone on the production crew

3: She found out he was there for ulterior motives maybe to promote his Documentary

4: He told the guys he wasn’t that in to her

Here is the other big preview for next week showing the scandal brewing and implying the culprit could be one of many guys…Andrew Poole, Cody Sattler, J.J. O’Brien etc, BUT (Spoiler Alert) Those guys all make it farther than Eric does and are all eliminated under normal circumstances.

It will be interesting to see if ABC tells the whole story regarding Eric Hill. I think they should just show it because people already know there is some scandal around why he is booted and if you don’t just tell them the truth they will assume the worst.

Other Bachelor cast members who have passed tragically…

I have some questions about Eric.

1: Why did ABC allow him on the show knowing he had this “contract” which only allowed him to be home 3 days out of the month for the next 2 years? This would suggest that he was not in a place to be in a relationship and usually ABC is really good about making sure any contestants are really really ready to go to the next level.

2: Who was paying for Eric’s Global “Odyssey”. In many places he seemed to suggest it was entirely his idea and he just “made it happen” — on the other hand, we learn from him that it is a “job” with a “contract” which has a lot of requirements and suggests a lot work must have gone into the production aka numerous employees to schedule and coordinate all the travel with the non-profits.

There just seem to be a few missing pieces that are not making sense at the moment.
