Sneak peek.
The most recent season of “The Bachelorette” is currently on pause. As fans wait to see what happens next, the men from Season 22 have been appearing on the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast.
Each guy has been exclusively discussing how they’re feeling and sharing more of their stories so listeners can get to know them better.
And this week, Marcus joined the podcast, sharing more about his Night 1 experience.
He started off by teasing that if viewers get to see the season, they are going to be very entertained by the first night.
“The experience of the first night was crazy, I ain’t gonna lie,” he said. “The first night, [if] it comes out, the people will not be disappointed. It will be very entertaining. I had a great first night.”
Marcus then gave a sneak peek into his entrance, hinting that it could’ve been controversial.
He said, “I had a lot of nerves going into it because, I mean y’all know why. But there were a lot of nerves, I was just kind of like, I don’t know what to really expect. I know what I’m doing but don’t know what to expect. And also didn’t know how the guys were gonna react to it because you just don’t know.”
Marcus reassured that his entrance was met with “a lot of love” by the other men, which made him “so happy.”
“When I walked in, it was just like a wave of dudes. It was a wave of guys, obviously. They saw me and they were like, ‘Yo, this is crazy! What’s going on?’ And I was like, ‘Yo, I don’t know, but how y’all feeling?’” he teased. “It was just so cool. That’s why I was nervous because I’m like it could’ve swayed either way, but everybody was so cool about it.”
Expanding more on his experience, Marcus reflected that there was a lot of energy and excitement.
He said, “Everybody was just so excited, it was just like, ‘Nah, this is crazy.’ So yeah, that Night 1 was so much energy. I think everybody was excited and when they saw what happened, it was like ‘What the f**. How? ‘ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know, but we made it happen.’”
