Season 10 Episode 7 on The Bachelorette takes on Brussels and Ghent, Belgium. Marcus Grodd discloses some serious childhood trauma, Josh Murray drops the L bomb and Nick Viall pulls a Courtney Robertson!
Marcus goes deep
On the first 1-on-1 Marcus Grodd and Andi Dorfman attend a goose parade, part of the “Festival of Ghent” and Marcus decides that it’s time to let Andi know about his difficult childhood–Marcus claims that he was abandoned by his father and beaten by his mother.
“My father left…suitcases packed — I never understand fully why he left — why he blamed me and my mom”…
Andi is very supportive and claims that: “no doubt Marcus is gonna be an amazing father and an amazing husband.”
Hmmmmm, for her? or someone else?
Marcus also professes his undying love for the Bachelorette claiming that he has never had these feelings for another person. It’s a lot of feelings in one session.
Andi seems a little too “awww you’re so sweet and cute” and “you’re gonna find a great girl one day” which I don’t think bodes well for him. I think as the enneagram uno its harder for Andi to hide her real feelings. And suffice it to say Andi is not acting like she is in love with Marcus.
The Nick Viall situation
So the funniest part of the episode was that Nick Viall pulled a Courtney Robertson and snuck up to Andi’s hotel room for a night cap!
It was a little cringe-worthy watching Nick talk to the hotel clerk and claim Andi was his wife.
I’m sure producers had nothing to do with that!!!!
So Nick, like Courtney goes rogue, and shows up for an impromptu 1 on 1. But unlike Courtney the two did not consummate their love in the ocean–not even the tip!
Instead they went for a walk outside.
Josh Murray drops the L bomb
So tonight Josh Murray tells her he is falling in love with her!!
Which is seriously good news because Andi is not good at keeping a poker face, not at all, she is transparent and she is clearly head over heels for Josh.
But it was a close call because last week Josh got seriously offended by the ambush and impromptu lie detector test! I can’t imagine why!!!
Andi was super worried that it meant he was hiding something but I didn’t necessarily agree with that. Josh is an enneagram 6, the Loyalist. Loyalty is his strong suit hence his tattoos. And Andi’s lie detector test questioned his loyalty. So it makes sense that he got so angry when the other guys just blew it off.
So finally Josh drops the L word.
And to make it even better he claims that he doesn’t throw those words around lightly. Andi’s entire demeanor changes from here until the end of the ep. She is absolutely giddy even with the other guys. She’s in love.
What I thought was so funny was how excited Josh was to go home and see his family! His love and loyalty to his family is just beyond! It’s an entire situation in and of itself.
