Lacy Faddoul reveals why she chose Marcus Grodd over Robert Graham in the beginning

Remember the relationship between Bachelor in Paradise engaged couple Lacy Faddoul and Marcus Grodd almost never happened. Lacy was pretty in to Robert Graham in the beginning and he seemed pretty in to her. Remember she was 80-40 and the 80 was for Robert. She was worried that Marcus may not be over Andi Dorfman when he arrived—I can’t imagine why it’s not like Marcus JUST got rejected by Andi before arriving on the scene…

Lacy explained in a PEOPLE magazine article why she chose Marcus over Robert in the beginning.

“Lacy, you were stuck between Robert Graham and Marcus in the first episode. Why did you choose Marcus?
Lacy: The first time I met Marcus, he was really timid and quiet, but he was so stunning. I was really intrigued. I think if that event with Robert didn’t happen, Marcus and I wouldn’t be where we’re at. Marcus really stepped up after that and made it known he wanted to get to know me, so that’s when I decided, ‘Okay, this is it!’ ”

And Marcus said this about pursuing her while she was dating Robert….

“Marcus: I was pretty determined. She’s physically beautiful, but just spending time with her and talking to her about our lives and our experiences, this girl surprised me with her mind and her questions and her ideas and her future. I definitely fell in love with who she was as a person.”

She surprised us with her “mind” too Marcus!!! The sentences that came from this girl’s mouth were nothing short of amazing!

I bet she is glad now that she did not choose Robert after Sarah’s epic FS disaster with him!
