‘The Bachelorette’: There Was A Better Way To Handle Eric Hill’s Death
Hometown dates turned into a hard-to-watch moment on ‘The Bachelorette’ on July 7 when Chris Harrison sat Andi Dorfman and her bachelors down to break the news that Eric Hill had died. I’m not sure there was a perfect way to address this tragedy, but I do think I found a way that would’ve honored Eric more without feeling borderline exploitative.
A weird thing happened on The Bachelorette last night, July 7 — they went to Chris Harrison‘s house. The host had Andi Dorfman and her bachelors over for an “impromptu” (I’m still on the fence about how on-the-spot this really was) meeting to tell them that former contestant Eric Hill had passed away in a tragic hang-gliding accident. The camera was then set down — but just perfectly enough so that the moment could still be captured — and the Bachelorette crew members broke the fourth wall to mourn alongside Chris, Andi and the bachelors. It was a sad, emotional moment. But it was also awkward and icky and felt distinctly made for television.

‘Bachelorette’ Recap: Eric Hill’s Death Revealed After Hometown Dates
Josh M., Nick V., Chris and Marcus have clearly been the four favorites throughout this whole season of ‘The Bachelorette,’ so we were FINALLY guaranteed some drama with Andi being forced to send one of them home on July 7. But as it turned out, that wasn’t even the most emotional part of the episode.
Cody said it himself in his epic, semi-psychotic rant — making the final four and bringing Andi Dorfman home to meet your family is the goal of any contestant on The Bachelorette. The hometown dates are where the bachelors can really inch closer to getting engaged, but they can just as easily be a dealbreaker. Does Andi hate the vast nothingness of Chris‘ home state, Iowa? Did she finally realize that Josh M. actually peaked in high school?
