Erich Dishes on Logan Joining Gabby’s Men and the Friendship They Formed on ‘The Bachelorette’
Real talk!
This week, Bachelor Nation fans saw Logan officially switch from Rachel’s group of men to Gabby’s group of men on “The Bachelorette.”
Now, one of Gabby’s men, Erich, stopped by the “Click Bait with Bachelor Nation” podcast to discuss what was going on behind the scenes at this moment.
While it seemed like tensions were high among Gabby’s men about Logan joining their group, Erich said that was just the initial shock.
He started off by explaining that “Logan was a guy that I connected with right off the bat back at the house. We did split up on the boat and we didn’t have any interaction with the other guys on that side. I knew he was a great dude and we were good friends in the beginning, so when I saw him again, I was like, ‘Dang, he’s on our side now?! I’ve gotta go against him?’”

Erich continued on, saying, “I think the initial shock was just like why, but then we talked, and yes, there’s someone else in the group, but it really shouldn’t matter. Your relationship with Gabby should just be between you and her. We were all on different journeys and different paths. It wasn’t hurting anyone else’s relationship with her. If you’re not the right person, you’re not the right person. That’s how I thought about it.”
Erich shared that Logan was really likable around the other men, despite how it seemed on this week’s episode.
The Bachelor Nation star said, “We spent a lot of time with Logan during it all. He talked to us a lot about his decision and how it wasn’t easy. You could see in his face how distraught he was, and we just kept talking.”
Erich shared that he and Logan “talked through things with him and saw he wasn’t just bouncing around. This has been a decision that wasn’t easy for him at all. He didn’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings, but he wanted to give this his best shot and did what he felt he needed to do.”
