Local Man Moves To The Final 11 On The Bachelorette

14 down and 11 to go in this seasons "The Bachelorette" on ABC. Chris Soules from LaMonte, IA is one of the original 25 that started out in the competition to try and win the heart of bachelorette Andi Dorfman. Here's a clip of Chris and Andi getting some relationship advice.

Last night's episode (06/02/14) of the ABC series The Bachelorette was an emotional one. It marked the final appearance of one of the contestants, Eric Hill. The world explorer that died after the taping of the show in a paragliding accident.

Eric was abruptly dismissed from the competition by "The Bachelorette," after a tense conversation between the two. He claimed that there were times when she was putting on a show in front of the cameras. He declared, "I came here to meet a person, not a TV actress."

Andi was clearly upset over Eric's comments. She told him that while she encouraged all of the men to be honest with her, his allegation was so insulting to her that she had no choice but to cut ties with him. Eric was seen leaving in a taxi.

The Bachelorette producers opted not to air the ensuing rose ceremony. Instead, an interview with Andi, conducted by host Chris Harrison after Eric's death, was shown.

The group will travel with Andi to France when The Bachelorette resumes on Monday, June 16th 8:30 P.M. on KCRG TV 9.
