I think Andi was mad at Eric for poking a hole in one of the central premises of the show, which is that the lead is actually seriously considering as a romantic partner all the suitors left on the show. There can't be more than 3 or 4 guys left at this point that Andi is really into, but she can't ditch all the other guys at once, because that would make for a really lame (or really short) season. So she has to keep stringing all the other guys along, making them think she's interested, because otherwise they might figure out that she's not that into them and ditch the show. Also, if we believe that the lead is SUPER SERIOUS about all the remaining guys, then it makes it more okay that she's encouraging them to pour their hearts out and 'put themselves out there' and whatnot. Except that Eric realized that this was what Andi was doing and called her bluff - he realized that even though she asked him to open up, she wasn't doing the same thing, because he was one of the B-roll guys (I'm pretty sure that 'our relationship is moving more slowly' is bachelor speak for 'I'm just not that into you.') So he tried to talk to her about it - basically, he said, hey, I feel like I'm being real and vulnerable and I'm not getting that from you - and what Andi heard was "I see through the facade, and you're a bad bachelorette." And then the explosion, where he said she was acting and not being real, and she started going on and about HOW HARD she was working. That... doesn't make any sense. Except in Bachelor world.

I suspect that thus far none of these girls (except maybe Rose) really believe this guy is prince harry. I've noticed that anytime a girl says the words 'prince harry' in a sound bite, you never see her face as she's saying it. And usually there's the tiniest pause, and the tone of the girl's voice changes a little bit before the words 'prince harry'. I'm pretty sure the producers are frakenbiting the hell out of these voiceovers. All they need is for a girl to say the words 'prince harry' just once, and they can cut and paste it into other sound bites to their hearts' content. I'm actually really liking the girls on this show - they seem a lot more fun and genuine than your typical Bachelor girls. Maggie is hilarious, Kimberly was super sweet with her New Yawk accent and her awe of the crown suite, and even Rose was incredibly gracious when it came time to turn over the room. And when she had the power of deciding who got to play cricket and who had to make sandwiches (clearly a producer ploy to stir up some shit), she put herself on sandwich duty. The only one I don't really like is Megan - she's either a huge bitch, or really really leaning hard into the 'huge bitch' role. But of course, that's part of the fun of watching reality tv - is this what these people are really like? Or are they real people playing roles without really admitting it to themselves? Oh, and fake Harry is dullsville. But that could be because he's really not allowed to say anything at all about himself. The whole mysterious thing is starting to wear a little thin.
